I am using this phone from last 45 days.. and beleave me its amazing phone.. everything works superb. design is perfect speaker is loud.. display is so crisp. browsing is superb. battery is last for 1.5-2 days with normal use. It don't have Gorilla glass but its a scratch resistant glass.. no problem in daily use. I recommend Neo V above the Ray. as the Ray have small screen, no dedicated camera buttonopen charging port witch allow dust to come in phone, no HDMI port in Ray. So I prefer Neo V.
Purchased recently price r not still going down purchased at 17K from local store, highly recommended device in such a price a range, i'm a regular watcher of igyaan and i have an eye on every device since a year thanks to iGyaan and purchase this device yet no match in such a price range, If u have a little higher price range people can also go for Samsung Galaxy R just because of its Dual Core processor but still behind Neo V when it comes to graphics performance.Highly recommended device guys
hi bharat, which could be a great choice between xperia neo v and galaxy sl i9003 ? including all aspects such as fast respone, decent battery backup etc. thanks.
YO guys @ iGyaan.in you CAN change the wallpaper in the dialer by changing the theme, and they have customized the keyboard ,you can now (since 2.3.4) enable swype ;) just thought I'd give you a heads-up ;)
@PSB2266 umm...u have these options: i) LG OPTIMUS BLACK ii) MOTO DEFY PLUS iii) XPERIA NEOV iv) XPERIA RAY v) SAMSUNG GALAXY S i9000 vi) SAMSUNG GALAXY SL (i9003) vii)GOOGLE NEXUS S. if u look at ebay,u can even get some dual core phones in this range like the OPTIMUS 2X OR THE PHOTON 4G OR THE DROID X2.....i myself am torn between the Nexus S and the Optimus Black :\
@peace00021 The only difference is the Cam..Neo has 8 Mp while Neo V has 5 Mp..Another difference is the cam in the neo V has the Exmor R sensor while the neo V doesn't have it ^^ Hope i helped
honestly, I prefer the neo V over the arc s. It doesn't even have a second camera (yeah it's a downer for me) and also it doesn't look half as good. Some of the specs are better but if you ask me, I'd get the neo V.

hey igyaan can we expect some new phone in 10-12k budget near soon which looks n performs like neo v / galaxy ace ? I should wait or not ? if not galaxy ace or neo v ?
Can you post a review of Neo L which is the successor of Neo V.. I really want to know that how much improvement it has over Neo V and why is it called "Playstation Certified"?
hey such nice review and exploring all features of neo v and all mobile....onec again thanks Bharat bro..... but it small suggestion to you its up to you... * You can also insert headsets performance and battery performance in mobile review
Dood, I'm having a hell of a time to tranfer files via bluetooth on this phone can you tell me how it's done? My devices say it's paired but connected. Ive tried install/reinstall the device but i still fail connect the device to transfer my file.
@cooliyooooo The Sony Xperia Neo l is a great phone but has occasional lags and the galaxy does not have fantastic graphics but the ace 2 would be suggested if you are looking at basic samsung phones but personally i find the neo l better. Make your own decisions(just suggesting)
em not satisfied with this stuff.. touchwiz is betta .. so as galaxy series from samsung. . being unbiased I must say they give the full value for money.. smooth interface .. the cam quality isnt that great to compete with Ericson but afterall the samsung cams are not that bad. . but they are not as betta as the ericsons .. in all other specs go for samsung .. its really worth your money
I was thinking about buying Xperia neo V...But I read in some reviews of this phone that the phone gets heated up considerably when used for talking for around 30 minutes and also it gets restarted when used for longer period of time... Can anyone tell me
Bought this fone in feb 2011 after watching you Bharat...
Thanks igyaan...

This was my first smartphone, it was awesome for its time.
Absolutely great review, thank you very much IGYAAN. But i have a quick question, can i use office apps on this? Word, Excel, and Powerpoint?
got Neo V for Rs.17000. Really awesome performance. loving it.
nice review.. im a little bit confuse as to buying this or an ipod touch 5th gen white.. coz i already have a phone..
hi bharat,

including all aspects such as fast respone, decent battery backup etc.
thanks.
my first andriod phone neo,
so far so good,
camera is sharp

The Neocore benchmark test is a bit outdated, since a few devices may have a frame rate cap. You should test new android devices using Nenamark 2.

Haha! I bought this phone after seeing this review! Thanks @bharat!
I bought this phone after seeing the review...it's awesome!!
have you ever updated your phone or it plays the games just like you buy it?
@peace00021 The only difference is the Cam..Neo has 8 Mp while Neo V has 5 Mp..Another difference is the cam in the neo V has the Exmor R sensor while the neo V doesn't have it ^^
Hope i helped
@GamerOfGame Neo V was manufactured after the Japan earthquake and there's a shortage of 8MP lens. That's why they "downgraded" it to 5MP
i'm in the same dilemma man! can't decide they are both good
hey which one should i buy sony xperia neo l or samsung galaxy ace???? plz reply soon
honestly, I prefer the neo V over the arc s. It doesn't even have a second camera (yeah it's a downer for me) and also it doesn't look half as good. Some of the specs are better but if you ask me, I'd get the neo V.
where is the camera review man???? wahts the camera performance? its result?
Great phone. Upgraded now but awesome phone!!
Is the Neo not available in India? And I noticed there was not much commentary on the camera. How badly does it fare compared to the Neo?
I updated to ICS and the phone works much better with it.
This or Samsung Focus ? I dont care the OS, which one is better ?
Thank you, come again

how is this user interface . and how is the touch ?.

is this device having heating problem while using?
How is the camera when compared with the Xmore sensor in the Arc.
i read in more than one review that it has below average battery life. most of the people say with moderate usage it lasts only a day.
is that true?
@megaanshulgupta hey.. could you tell me where you got it from for that price? which city r u from?!
which is better Xperia Neo V or Ray ... ? both available for 17K.. where Ray has a 8MP camera!!
Man this phone was like holding a McLaren in hand. So well designed phone, I had a glossy blue... Anyone in 2024...?
One V if u don't need front camera so much and can compromise UGLY browsing experience.
it has far better camera and good UI.
does this phone look and feel thick?
Neo V or Ray?
When putting the covers back on the top part, just press it! Tapping it hardly will not help at all.
Can you post a review of Neo L which is the successor of Neo V.. I really want to know that how much improvement it has over Neo V and why is it called "Playstation Certified"?
black or white???
@heartblabber dont get the optimus black, it has bad cell reception and it tends to get heated up quite quickly.the its video review at the igyaan

@cooliyooooo The Sony Xperia Neo l is a great phone but has occasional lags and the galaxy does not have fantastic graphics but the ace 2 would be suggested if you are looking at basic samsung phones but personally i find the neo l better.
Make your own decisions(just suggesting)
@Linttia that thing is blind...i made my mind for it until i realized there are too many sensors at the front but the front facing camera is absent!!!
I use this phone... A great smartphone with great design.. Definitely not white color...

Funny I sold my Focus couldn't get into Windows and now I am considering this among others as an alternative.
What is with the gold plated SD port something compare to the silver plated?
Xperia Neo V or Xperia Ray???
awesome review, love the accent. and i am getting this bad boy!
One more thing you may add to your " we really hate.." list wold be that the dialer does not have smart dialing (predictive).
..what he don't like is the price bracket? you guys don't like it when people ask you to pay. that's a fact.
I was thinking about buying Xperia neo V...But I read in some reviews of this phone that the phone gets heated up considerably when used for talking for around 30 minutes and also it gets restarted when used for longer period of time... Can anyone tell me
can this b connected to nokia bh 503, plzz reply if u know the answer
Amazing video bro! Thanks, I'm gonna buy it!
