Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo Reviews
Engadget "The Neo rides a not-so-fine line -- it can be a trusty companion at best, or a cause of daily teeth-grinding at worst. Let's find out why."
T3 "The Sony Ericsson Neo is SE’s mid-range offering, equipped with the same camera and UI as the Arc, but with a smaller non-LED backlit screen."
Pocket Lint "The Sony Ericsson Neo (and QWERTY packing Pro) models didn’t get nearly the attention that was afforded to the Xperia Arc and the Xperia Play upon launch."
Android Community "That said, the Neo does have its uniqueness, and it’s certainly aimed at the mid-tier group looking for that top-tier excellence without quite hitting the Xperia ARC level of coolness."
Phone Arena "The Sony Ericsson Xperia neo aims to find the sweet spot between price and functionality, but in a world crowded with Android offerings, will the 3.7-inch screen enhanced with Mobile Bravia technology and an 8.1-megapixel sensor manage to stand out?"
Android Central "The Xperia Arc was unbelievably slim and light, with an exceptional camera, while the Xperia Play made its debut as the first PlayStation-certified phone."
