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

Sony Xperia Go review

The Sony Xperia Go wants to be the action phone in your life. It bears some of the hallmarks of Sony Ericsson, with that company's roundel on the rear, but otherwise comes decked out like the latest Sony Mobile devices.
Pros:
  • Waterproofing
  • nice design
  • camera interface works nicely
  • microSD card slot
Cons:
  • Low screen resolution
  • not hugely powerful
  • software and user interface could be more up to date

The Sony Xperia go is not a phone to keep on a short leash. Not your kind of phone either if you'd say no to a dip in the pool because you are expecting an important call. The Sony Xperia go lets you join the fun.
