Pros:
  • Able to survive the water
  • something few touchscreen phones can do
  • Reasonably inexpensive
Cons:
  • Low resolution screen
  • Mediocre battery life
  • Signal drop outs and shifts to 2G were common

Sony Xperia Go Review: In Depth

If the new Sony Xperia Go is telling us anything it's that rugged phones aren't what they used to be. With a slim, stylish high grade plastic chassis and dual-core processor, the Go is no slouch on the style or specs front. At £220 it's also competitively priced for a dual-core device.
Pros:
  • Great design and build
  • Most powerful rugged phone
  • Expandable storage
Cons:
  • Low-resolution screen
  • Out of date Android version
  • Mediocre camera
