Thank you, I will buy this phone tomorrow.

....if only I could here in Europe.

Kinda obvious Sony are reporting major losses over the years. Actions like these are hurting their revenues. In fact, I think these specs are so great that I keep holding on buying a new phone until something comparably decent shows up in my country.... and with me many other people I assure you.

Sony, if only you knew what people really want. It's time for you to teach the world--with an adequate advertising campaign--that real mobility is what matters.

If you have the production capacity, releasing the Xperia SX as your flagship phone will make you smartphone king. No question about it.

I must say, I got this phone without thinking at all (could afford it!). I got it from osoblanco-jp. Excellent communication and rapid delivery - arrived within 2 weeks from Japan, so not much to complain about.

I was looking for a one handed, lightweight phone with all the benifits of an android phone.

For me, the handset is perfect, almost. It does not come with a charger (this is how sony is selling it - its not due to the ebay seller). The other problem is that the screen is extremly fingerprint friendly - much more so than other phones Ive used... i.e. galaxy note and galaxy s 1. Why is this, no idea - maybe its easier to notice because the screen is not OLED. Also, note, if you decide to get this, it needs a micro sim - not a Nano sim as is the case for iphones.

Am I happy - yes. This is a phone that should last me well over 2-3 years finally. A phone that is light, practical and easy to use.

If anyone wants a detailed website review, ask - also ask if there is any specific features you want me to test.

Just got it from Ebay from Japan after thinking a long time. Great phone indeed. Matches only to one hand and quite fast. One thing is it full of japanese apps :). You won't regret buying it. it faster than iphone 5.

This phone has this ideal size with high end specs also.

We need slim phone such as sony ericsson xperia ray. Sony has made this one (xperia sx so) to only japan. if not like to introduce it worldwide, make another slim phone.

Hi, by signing this petition maybe the companies really understand that their amazing hardware accomodated in absurd cases are not high end phones:

Oh, sorry this was the one to make look the other flagships like toys. What an amazing device. I would still buy it today if sony would offer it globally. Have a nice day.

Basically the only phone that suits my requirements of high-spec, high quality camera, light-weight and compact. But only in Japan? Can the number of people who want this sort of phone really be so small ??

The fist time I used the phone finder this phone was the only result. I'd like to be able to have it too. It's just not fair it's not available worldwide.
It has everything a reasonable person would like from an Android phone - small size, lightweight, decent resolution, fast processor, enough RAM, card slot, image stabilization... If the battery capacity was higher it would be even better, let's say on the price of another 10 grams :-)

I completely agree with Techno. I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray which is a beautiful little handset. Much better, quality-wise, then the rest of the current Xperia range in the UK. I wanted to upgrade this to a Qhd display and dual core as it struggles with .mkv files. Then I came across this little beauty (doing a GSM Arena search) and it ticks all the boxes. But it won't come out in Europe! Instead we get the Xperia Z which I was not impressed by (the display is quite poor). Where are all the high-specced small phones for those of us that don't want to carry a brick around???? Oh, and Sony et. al. a lot of us *want* to be able to swap the battery out and add memory cards. I avoid phones where you *can't* do this.

If the marketing or executive people in sony would understand that this is supposed to be their flagship phone and not the experia z, they can actually throw samsung and apple away...

This phone is so amazing! It is small. It is light. It is beautiful. It supports LTE. Its battery is replaceable. It has external microSD card. And, of most importance, it is Android! Why Sony can't release this phone in China? If only they could replace FeliCa with NFC and OneSeg with CMMB, there would be a lot of users like me that will buy it! I can't find a phone with better screen or hardware specs in such size and at such price. I want this phone so badly!

> In reply to Manny poohquiao @ 2013-03-18 06:09 from XMV% - click to readMany people wants this phone badly. But Sony will never understand! They are looking to promote their giant phone Xperia Z. They don't realise that most of us want a handy light smartphone with best specifications like this one. Most of their other phones can't be chosen because the battery is non removable. Sony ought to do a research on what their customers really need...
