I say........
One thing that might hold smartphone junkies back from going for this phone is the fact that it has only 4GB of user-accessible memory. So, you either have to load on only your absolute favourite music, videos or pics on the phone or keep transferring the media you capture on the phone to a laptop or PC. Also, in our Quadrant Standard benchmarking test, the handset scored about 1,893 points ranking below the likes of LG Optimus 2X, but a little above HTC Desire HD.
It’s not a ground-breaking smartphone, it doesn’t have the most impressive tech specs nor is it the most high-end phone you can own. But if all you need is a decently built smartphone that doesn’t let you down on performance, interface or battery life, the Xperia U is worth a shot.
