The Sony Xperia range is expanding all of the time, and the new U is just as smart as the others except it's a little smaller. For some, smartphones are big and bulky, and too uncomfortable to carry around and that's why a smaller screen is ideal. It still needs to tick many boxes such as great screen quality, a great camera, video camera and a long-life battery and that's where the Sony Xperia U comes into it.
We start with the screen itself. Sony is well-known for producing incredible HDTVs and the screen quality and clarity of the Xperia U is fantastic. It's a TFT screen that is scratch-resistant and has 16 million colours at a resolution of 854 x 640. The phone itself weighs 110 grams which is very light and as it's got a good shape to it it's easy to carry around and use. There is a a 1GHz dual core processor that helps the phone run on Google Android 4 (Jelly Bean) operating system. There is options to update as and when the new Android system comes out.
The camera is still one of the main impressive parts of a smartphone and manufacturers continually try and outdo their rivals. As this is in the affordable budget end of the range, it doesn't have the mega camera that the Xperia Z has, but still a 5MP camera with auto focus and LED flash is very good. It also outclasses rivals with its 16x digital zoom facility that lets you take cracking photos up close without losing quality. There is 360 panorama, HD video recording up to 720p and face detection. The front-facing camera is perfect for taking self-portraits and having video calls and is VGA quality.
Sony is well-known for its entertainment and media, and TrackID music recognition is available as is the stunning audio filter technology called xLOUD Experience. This filters out harshness and provides a sweeter, finely tuned sound from the speakers. There is a 3.5mm jack for your headphones and there is Clear Bass and Clear Stereo too. Audio playback is taken care of by MP3 , MP4, 3GPP, SMF, WAV, OTA, Ogg Vorbis and audio recording has formats of 3GPP, MP4 and AMR. Timescape is integrated into Twitter as is Xperia 2.0 with Facebook.
The phone can store all of your data, contacts, videos and photos on the 8GB internal storage and the whole running of the phone is taken care of by the 512MB of Random Access Memory. The Sony Xperia U comes preloaded with applications such as Google Gallery 3D, Google Maps, Google Mail, Google Talk and Google Voice Search. The U is DLNA certified and has aGPS, USB tethering, Bluetooth, various synchronisation methods and WiFi Hotspot functionality.
All of this is fantastic for you as the user. It means you don't need to have the most expensive phone that's out there as this does the majority of it for you. There are other Xperia phones in the range that have more technology but if this is good enough then check out the fantastic Sony Xperia U deals below.
