This is the best review for this phone. I know he didn't really mention any specs and those kind of stuff but those are the ones you can read online. Thank you! :)
I spent an hour looking at all the different reviews for this phone and this one is by far the best. ^.^ thanks to you I just ordered one and it'll arrive on Monday. I can't wait. :D
Nice review! When you compare the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, what would be your choice? I don't know what to choose...
Thanks for this review! I am gonna get my first smartphone and were thinking about getting Xperia Ray, and this in dept review are gold! I am absolutely gonna get one of these, even if its already old for most ppl i don't demand so much of it as i already got a laptop. And the price on this one are amazing!
Great review! I do have a question. Are you able to turn on the phone by pressing the home key? On the Arc and X10 you can, but I have yet to see if it can be done on the Ray. Thanks.
I'm still using this phone. It's starting to become slow and outdated, but it still handles apps made in 2013! This video made me realize how incredible this phone really was when it was released. The only downside to it's size is that I often can't find it in my bag hahahaha. This said, the Ray has served me well as I've dropped it countless times and it's survived. I'm moving on from the smallest Xperia in Canada to the largest... the Z Ultra this Christmas. In the mean time I love the ray!
Thank you for this clear and honest review! Amazing! You definitely made my decision easier, as I was thinking to go for either this, the U or the miro. Thanks!
hahah i really love your accent and the way you talk what dyou think se ray or google samsung nexus oh and have you been using this phone for a while ? or dyou just get this phone for reviews ? cause id like to know how it performs after several months like is there any lag or if apps arent working etc thanks dude
hello bro. iI have this phone. its an awesome phone. nw iI got a problem. my phone isnt installing games that iI have downloaded. iI restored my phone. but after restoring its giving me parsing package error. do you have any iIdea. what to do.
I would recommend it as I have this product and its pretty great. I am greatly satisfied by this phone. one thing that was probably not mentioned (unless i missed it out) is that it is light in weight compared to some other products of its size so it feels more portable. the biggest disadvantage is probably the small keys on the keyboard layout if you have big hands or thick fingers, but thanks to auto-correct feature that makes it a whole lot easier.
A couple more questions, as I believe I am on the verge of buying this and I want a phone that can do the same things my w995a can do: 1) Can the flash from the camera double as a light? I use mine on my w995a quite often. 2) Can you text message in "conversation mode". I use that daily. Thanks
Its a real nice phone!! Im really happy 'bout the battery life which lasts for almost2 days. The screen clarity is amazing (almost close to iPhone 4). Really vivid colors..Adequate processor for daily chores. Superb music quality.Small and sleek enough to fit into ur pocket or palm without awkwardly sticking out!!. Really worth the money!!
Thanx for that! Am thinking of going for the mini pro now.. Do love my phone to be small but the x10 mini i have is not good for pciking up signal n can be slow to dothing n freeze, reset itself or turn off.. Hope these issues are not around now...
hehe.. you're so enthusiastic about your job and this phone.. so this was fun to watch!! :)) I had my eyes on that phone before but now I really really want it!! classsssy
thanks dude for this hardwork ......but I'm so confused between xperia ray and xperia neo v ? the neo v is much bigger screen 3.7" so it could be like cinema ??? any advice ???
Thank you for this detailed review. I really needed a little push to buy it...thanks to you, I feel that now : ) In my opinion, it is a smartphone which really differ from other smartphones, when you compare the design. Thanks again and hope to be an owner, soon. ^_^
hey I would appreciate your suggestion. I'm confused between sony ericsson WT19i , Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray ST18i and Blackberry 9380 Curve... Which one is better?
@WirelessInsider how will you know if the display is nicer? is it the ppi density? sorry I still have to learn more about the smartphone world..Please reply...:)
@WirelessInsider I have the Xperia Mini (original one) and was wondering how much bigger the screen on this phone is. I like sony erricson phones but i would prefer a bigger screen, is this much bigger? Also i don't have facebook and was wondering is there a way to delete facebook on the phone? Many thanks bye.
Does this phone plays movies we download from internet onto the PCs. I mean that resolution can it support. Does it support avi, divx and xvid format in video and also does it support all the types of sound files or just mp3? sorry for asking too may q's ...
I could be wrong but maybe it is slightly temperature sensitive. Here where I stay, temperatures can go up to 50 celcius. and I had this problem atleast twice where I could only pinch zoom in and out but not slide or scroll the screen while using one of the GPS app. it seemed like the problem was with the phone rather than the app, or it could have been moisture from sweat on the screen causing trouble. fixing the screen and waiting a few min resolved the issue. problem is very rare & minor
I miss this phone. The design was sleek and the android skin Timescape was pretty nifty. Too bad the battery was terrible and it kept crashing in the end.
It varies according to signal strength .most of the time mine is 2 days maximum battery life... before the upgrade it was same. hd recording and 4to sizes are changed but no change in quality after ICS update(changed from 1.5mb to 2.7mb 4tos)... with 3g it drains in 18 hours. 3g+wifi tethering ~6 hours
any reliability issues like freezing up or shutting down on its own ? is it using the standard SD card or Sony's memory card ? had a Sony once and it was a nightmare !
have you upgraded it to ice cream sandwich? if not, then do so. you would be able to type using the slide method on the keyboard on the new operating system and it makes typing alot easier on the same keyboard if typing is an issue for you. i had a similar problem and after upgrading it, i dont face much trouble with it anymore. Cheers!
wirelessinsider, thanks for the video... i ve purchased galaxy ace last month. i wish i could see this video before purchasing. but ace is good too. thanks again...........
Much better with Android 4.0 Includes great improvements with camera, keyboard (makes typing easier), display and interface improved with smoother transitions.
if u have to choose between samsung galaxy SII and Xperia RAY... the same, but with xperia Pro the same, but with xperia ARC And, between Xperia ray and pro, which of them is best?? Thanks
Would love to know, can the qwerty keyboard be turned off n use number keypad for typing..? I dont get on with qwerty unless its for my laptop or ipad - which are not small.. Lol
hey I updated this with android 4.0.4 and now boot time is 10 seconds only,very fast now.problem is RAM is filling quickly and getting slow after a time, but no matter go to the running applications and stop the process of most memory concuming application, most of times its contacts and facebook sync(useless)
Excellent review, you casually pinpoint the post important aspects of the phone without being too technical. Kudos.
-this is the best review I've seen in ages, congratulations.
This is the best review for this phone. I know he didn't really mention any specs and those kind of stuff but those are the ones you can read online.
Thank you! :)
Really good retweet. Covered aspects that I've not seen others do. Good job.
I spent an hour looking at all the different reviews for this phone and this one is by far the best. ^.^ thanks to you I just ordered one and it'll arrive on Monday. I can't wait. :D

I am absolutely gonna get one of these, even if its already old for most ppl i don't demand so much of it as i already got a laptop. And the price on this one are amazing!
Thanks for the review! The small size and good battery life are appealing to me, and I'm glad to see that while the size is small, performance isn't.
Great review! I do have a question. Are you able to turn on the phone by pressing the home key? On the Arc and X10 you can, but I have yet to see if it can be done on the Ray. Thanks.

Nice Review! But is there no rupper cap for the USB-port?
hello bro. iI have this phone. its an awesome phone. nw iI got a problem. my phone isnt installing games that iI have downloaded. iI restored my phone. but after restoring its giving me parsing package error. do you have any iIdea. what to do.
@WirelessInsider Thanks for responding. What I meant to ask was, could you "wake up" the phone by hitting the home key? Thanks
this phone is great for camera, high resolution pictures are simply gorgeous, with great auto-focus !!
I would recommend it as I have this product and its pretty great. I am greatly satisfied by this phone. one thing that was probably not mentioned (unless i missed it out) is that it is light in weight compared to some other products of its size so it feels more portable. the biggest disadvantage is probably the small keys on the keyboard layout if you have big hands or thick fingers, but thanks to auto-correct feature that makes it a whole lot easier.

1) Can the flash from the camera double as a light? I use mine on my w995a quite often.
2) Can you text message in "conversation mode". I use that daily.

WirelessInsider, like always a great review. 2 thumbs up my friend.
How about the battery life after the upgrade to ICS? My Ray is currently running on android 2.3 and returns me a brilliant 2.5 days battery life!
Thank you for this detailed review. I really needed a little push to buy it...thanks to you, I feel that now : ) In my opinion, it is a smartphone which really differ from other smartphones, when you compare the design. Thanks again and hope to be an owner, soon. ^_^
Fantastic review thank you! Can't wait to get my hands on my one of these :D

I really like the design of this phone, but as I would mainly be using it for texting would I be better off getting a htc with a bigger screen? :)

@ WirelessInsider Would you recommend this phone or the samsung galaxy s5830 ace?The price difference is 20 euro so i want to know which one is better
You're very funny ^^
I have one question, if you have to choose between Galaxy Ace and Xperia Ray, which one would you buy?
It's again another fabulous review. thanks
hey I would appreciate your suggestion. I'm confused between sony ericsson WT19i , Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray ST18i and Blackberry 9380 Curve...

I like sony erricson phones but i would prefer a bigger screen, is this much bigger? Also i don't have facebook and was wondering is there a way to delete facebook on the phone? Many thanks bye.
Yes you can. Best used with wifi connections and you can switch between front and rear camera.
Just ordered mine, I can't wait. ^.^
sold! thanks for the review..I will buy this.
Does this phone plays movies we download from internet onto the PCs. I mean that resolution can it support. Does it support avi, divx and xvid format in video and also does it support all the types of sound files or just mp3? sorry for asking too may q's ...
please i need your help dear mr WirelessInsider...i own this phone with the 2.3.4 version...shall i upgrade it to 4.1???i entrust your opinion!!
well, the ray has a blackout problem, for the speed oyu can always flash custom rom.
if you had to choose between the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray and Samsung Galaxy Ace, which would you choose or recommend?
I could be wrong but maybe it is slightly temperature sensitive. Here where I stay, temperatures can go up to 50 celcius. and I had this problem atleast twice where I could only pinch zoom in and out but not slide or scroll the screen while using one of the GPS app. it seemed like the problem was with the phone rather than the app, or it could have been moisture from sweat on the screen causing trouble. fixing the screen and waiting a few min resolved the issue. problem is very rare & minor
I miss this phone. The design was sleek and the android skin Timescape was pretty nifty. Too bad the battery was terrible and it kept crashing in the end.
I absolutly loved your review! Thanx :)
if the qwerty keyboard is too small for you, you can change it to an alphanumeric keyboard
Hi there! What would you choose, Xperia U or Xperia Ray ( wanna buy it for my birthday, they both cost 200 euros and i can't choose !)
good review, thanks. I like the phone because it's small and make it perfect for a bike ride or running.
Is it bad to have this phone unlock
And is there a way to re-lock this phone
hi mate! fancy your reviews .. can you do one for the Xperia X10 mini pro?? Tx!
@ WirelessInsider what would u recommend xperia ray,pro or neo v
good review u have got the talent to express your views
and it was a good video
may be Sony Ericson should tank u for creating such a super video
I just loved this phone when i saw it
thanks for the the video i watched it and i helped me
cause i was sure about taking it or not
It varies according to signal strength .most of the time mine is 2 days maximum battery life... before the upgrade it was same. hd recording and 4to sizes are changed but no change in quality after ICS update(changed from 1.5mb to 2.7mb 4tos)... with 3g it drains in 18 hours. 3g+wifi tethering ~6 hours
any reliability issues like freezing up or shutting down on its own ?
is it using the standard SD card or Sony's memory card ?
had a Sony once and it was a nightmare !
if u got it can u tell me what u think about it plzz ?? cause i'm getting one tomorrow!!
Same here, best phone I've ever had!!
have you upgraded it to ice cream sandwich? if not, then do so. you would be able to type using the slide method on the keyboard on the new operating system and it makes typing alot easier on the same keyboard if typing is an issue for you. i had a similar problem and after upgrading it, i dont face much trouble with it anymore. Cheers!
@WirelessInsider Which color would you recommend ?
He seemed to be enjoying it :D
Very clearly, I have nothing to ask. Thank you. :)
When would it (ICS) come ? And , can i download it if i buy him now with 2.3 gingerbread ?
wirelessinsider, thanks for the video... i ve purchased galaxy ace last month. i wish i could see this video before purchasing. but ace is good too. thanks again...........
Futureshop now has it on sale for 99 bucks. Locked to Telus but unlocking costs only $20.
Very nice review, many thanks!
1500 mA if im not mistaken. Usually lasts for more than a day, typically a day and a half. Good enough for a smart phone.
Great review. Well done.
Much better with Android 4.0 Includes great improvements with camera, keyboard (makes typing easier), display and interface improved with smoother transitions.
Hey I have a question, if you had to choose between Xperia Arc and Ray, which is better?

And, between Xperia ray and pro, which of them is best?? Thanks
