Help in finding phone

Tue, 19 Jun 2012 09:59:08 GMT

Hello! I need some help in finding a phone for myself. I am able to find a phone that almost meets my requirements, but always misses one thing or anotherThese are my requirements:

Android 4.0 ICS (Or atleast upgradable)

4.5G (Not available in any phone, so 3.5G will be ok too)

Capacitive TouchScreen

No physical buttons, only TouchScreen

Atleast 5MP camera with single/dual flash

Secondary camera

Screen: 3.5" / 3.7"

Motion Gaming, and all the necessary sensors.

WiFi/WLan

Bluetooth

GPS

MicroSD card

3.5mm Jack

Volume buttons on side

Good treble & bass on loudspeakers

USB Mass Storage

And as it is Sony's phone, I'd like the phone to have Bravia Engine, Clear Bass, Clear Stereo too. HDMI output is not really necessary, neither I'll use it. But I really was fascinated when I knew Xperia Neo V has it ^^ Well let's drop the HDMI...too many constraints!

I really liked Xperia Neo V, but the 3 physical buttons at the bottom ruin the looked.

I was also going for Live with Walkman WT9i, but the screen is only 3.2"

Now I'm looking for a phone in Xperia series. I liked Xperia U, but it has no microSD card slot. I had lot of hopes from the upcoming Xperia Go, but I got to know it has no secondary camera

Due to price difference in countries, I'll express my budget in terms of phones only.

I want a mid-range phone, that costs somewhat around the price of Xperia U. I can pay a little more though.

Please help me find a phone that meets my requirements. I really do hope there is some phone in sony that will fullfil my needs. TBH, I started looking in Samsung, but the phones in my budget don't have secondary camera, and I doubt the sound quality of samsung phones).

Thanks for all the help guys

http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/ Click on each of the phones that you're interested in, (some of them are priced) and then click on the specifications link.However, I doubt that you will find a phone that meets all your requirements, although the xperia ray may come close in terms of both specs and price. As for LTE connectivity (4G), I think only the xperia ion has this at the moment.

Hope this helps.

Hi!

Yes I already went through technical specifications of each and every single phone, and also cross-checked them on other sites. And I also went to various shops, operated the phones myself, and also confirmed the actual price I'll get them, in the Sony shop I've in my city. That's how I shorted the list down to Xperia U ^^

About 4G, I dropped the idea. Really 3.5G would be ok.

Yes I've seen Xperia Ray. It does has all the features, but it's kinda over-prices at my place. And there's the physical home button too, pretty much like the fact I am not buying Neo V for. Neo V and Ray are priced almost same at my place, Ray being a little costlier.

My best options for now is Xperia U (with no microSD slot, I think 4GB would be enough) or Xperia Go (with no front camera). Just hoping if someone could help me find a phone where I don't have to compromise these very important features 😕
