Pros:
  • Tough design
  • bright
  • colourful display
  • great battery life
  • dual-core processor
Cons:
  • Ancient OS
  • iffy touch-screen
  • signal drop-outs

  • Solid performance
  • Good camera
  • Great build quality

The Android-powered Sony Xperia Go is among this new breed. If waterproofing is an absolute must, it's one of the most attractive models you can get, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come with a serious compromise or two.
Pros:
  • Waterproof to 1m
  • Good-looking design.
Cons:

Sony Xperia Go review

As Motorola and Samsung have both proved, with the Defy range and Xcover Extreme handsets respectively, you don't have to wrap a handset in a bulky chassis for it to be classed as 'rugged'.
Pros:
  • Some rugged features for outdoor use
  • Small and light
  • Poor screen
Cons:
  • Average camera
  • Short on internal storage
  • Expensive

A Tough little thing

I had a Sony Xperia Go about a year a go and was generally very happy with it and only got rid of it as my partner was due an upgrade so I had his old iPhone. I would probably still have it now if it wasn't for that.
Pros:
  • Small and tough
Cons:
  • All a bit fuzzy

"Well the Xperia Go is certainly a disappointment and deffo doesn't warrant a £200 price point. It feels very cheap in the hand and it's finished in some matt effect plastic which picks up mark like a magnet and instantly looks like a worn handset.

I purchased the Xpedia GO soon after it came out. It is actually quite a nice little phone (especially as a second phone), however, it has a MAJOR design fault. Do NOT EVER try and use a MICRO SIM with a "caddy" (the normal way you use a "micro" sim on any other phone.
Pros:
  • It's waterproof
Cons:
  • SONY !!! I wouldn't buy another Sony on the basis of their awful Customer Service !!
