Sony Xperia Go Review

Rugged phones have been around for quite some time but have been quite gimmicky in their "rugged" utility. In focusing on the rugged aspect of the smartphone, these devices have given up on some essential features such as utility, comfort and power under the hood.
Pros:
  • Solid performance
  • Great build quality
  • Good camera
Cons:
  • No ICS out-of-the-box
  • Low-res display
  • Cramped onscreen keyboard

  • Stunning design
  • Rugged IP67 certification

  • easy internet
  • Broad media capabilities
Cons:
  • No physical camera button
  • No auto spacing in gesture control
  • Speaker placement
  • Slight lag
  • Stiff connection covers

  • 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  • Out of date Android version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

On first glance, the Sony Xperia go looks like a lightweight, compact Android mid-ranger like the Xperia U we've already seen. Look again and you'll notice this good-looking little smartphone is submerged in water and you're still pawing through apps and games.
