Finally Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V has made it to the Indian shores and it looks pretty promising. However it is quite similar to its Big Brother Xperia Neo… But this one comes with an extra V in its name . With the V resembling the roman number 5 for the 5th xperia phone from sony ericsson. And this phone is among the first phones to ship with the latest Delicious Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 , rest of the xperia phones to get an update very soon.
Both don’t have much of differences except that the camera is downgraded here and of course with a slighlty lesser price tag. Even the Neo V sports the same Kungfu styled 1Ghz Snapdragon Processor with a 512 MB RAM, 320MB ROM (not to worry , you can run your apps directly from your memory card). It just has a 5MP camera sensor (Non Exmor R) compared to the previous version’s 8MP (Exmor R) but the Neo V still shoots amazingly well. We beleive that there has been a shortage of supply for the 8MP sensors due to the earth quake effect in Japan. It still supports HD video recording of 720p.
Still has the front camera for video chatting but not for video calling. That’s a sad thing. Considering that video calling has not become so popular.
And for those nitwits who don’t know about Exmor R sensor, it’s a feature developed by sony corporation to enable low light and fast shooting of pics with your camera.
Its packed with a 3.7 inches (480 x 854 pixels) LED-backlit LCD screen which should be a good news for the big boys with big fingers who text a lot. The display is powered by Mobile Bravia Engine which is another technology developed by sony to display things very sharp and crystal clear.
The design derives from the playstation phone – xperia play but this one comes without a keypad.
The color and finish gives it a rich and premium look even though the body is fully plastic.
– On the front it has three buttons for back – home – options with a front camera, Proximity sensor.
– On the back the 5MP camera sensor sits perfectly inside the phone and of course the sony ericsson symbol.
– On the top it has a HDMI port (to connect to HDMI enbled devices) , pc sych port , 3.5mm audio jack.
– On the right you can spot the volume buttons, camera button, lock button.
And finally on the left , there’s nothing. Its plane!
.
Now coming to the main features about the phone…
You can take snaps in 3D panoramic view. Which when connected to a 3d ready tv , you can see them in real 3d.
Kickass!
Front cam – It is among the first android phones with full skype support.
Skype now supports video chatting on android. And even gtalk video chat works. The front cam is missing on most of the xperia phones.
But lets wish sony hears and sends a patch to enable video calling through 3g.
These days dual core processors are slowly conquering the market share, so this can be positioned in the mid range.
The power packed device just weighs amazingly 126g (including the battery). When i first held the phone i thought it was a dummy phone but , no… it real for sure!!!
It might look slightly bulky , but easily slides into your pocket.
And the best part comes here…, it is priced at around 15k in India. check out www.adexmart.com for the best price.
This is one of the best phones in the mid range from sony at this price.
