Hi,

I need to purchase new sony android phone (from the xperia series).

I am looking for the following specifications:

1. Flash Light
2. Macro
3. 5 or 8 megapixel camera
4. Front Camera
5. Dedicated Music Keys (i think this one is yet to be inculcated).

Many thanks in advance

Regards,
Johnny

1. Flash Light

2. Macro

3. 5 or 8 megapixel camera
>8MP: Arc/Neo/Neo V/Pro/Play/Ray 5MP: Mini/Mini Pro/Active/Live
4. Front Camera

5. Dedicated Music Keys (i think this one is yet to be inculcated).
>Live

Most of Xperia/SE Smart Phones are candidate for your new purchase, except for that Music Key, it is dedicated to Live(although Live is not Xperia, but it has the same Functions, Hardware and Software just like Xperia in a Walkman brand)

Does Price Matters? How about Size? Prices are estimated here in Philippines

Not Cheap|Big Sized
1.Arc($520~)
2.Ray(Small in Size but not in Price)
3.Play/Pro
4.Neo($400~)
5.Neo V

Kinda Cheap|Small Sized
1.Mini Pro($350~)
2.Live(Walkman Droid)
3.Active(IP Droid)
4.Mini($300~)

Thanks for your ideas guys....

I can compromise with the dedicated keys though.... (i heard there is a headset which has these buttons on the wire)...

Still am confused with which phone to buy...

My fav sony cell was w995, but alas they have stopped building such beautiful cells due to the blow of the time

Actually, dedicated keys come in the form of widgets now. I always control my music with the widget keys at my homescreen for quick access without accessing the music player. This is in addition to the control keys on my MW600 headset at my disposal Dedicated physical keys are ol' skool

Mode is Right, but if you still like having Dedicated keys in your Music you could buy yourself a MW600, or Liveview which can also controls music

Neo look like the best candidate... `cause:
- it has better cammera and sound quallity than Ray
- is smaller and cheaper than Arc
- it`s far more capable than Live and have proper screen resolution


I think it`s the most balanced handset from this year.

Same here, the w995 was my favorite but I had to retire it. With today's heavy heavy webpages & social media I went for the mini pro to keep up with with web stuff that has become heavy with multimedia. Good audio, good cam & compact size were also requirements.

No regrets - I picked the right phone for myself.

@mhyke - great list
