Sony Ericsson has recently announced a mobile phone, called the
XPERIA Neo. Couple of months back, there was a news that the mobile phone manufacturer is bringing two new handsets called Anzu and Hallon. The former one was renamed and announced as S
ony Ericsson XPERIA Arc, but there was a speculation about the later one, which is supposed to include the similar form factor of Vivaz. Now, there is end of all such speculations as the handset is named as Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo and it will be available in the market by the month of March, 2011.
The similarity of SE XPERIA Neo with SE Vivaz ends with the form factor. The functionalities of the phone are of higher standard and you can clearly understand that once you go through the detailed specifications in the following portions of the review. The phone definitely looks cute and attractive. It may not be as dashing and high-end as Samsung Galaxy S II, which is also announced during the same period, but it definitely has its own sets of appeal. The handset fits well on your palm and you will surely like its semi-anodised finish along with easy to access key arrangement at the front and superb front facing camera. The cool ear piece and light sensor adds up to the benefits of the device.

Right under it, you can access the volume key to control the sound. In fact, you can easily adjust the volume by holding the phone to your ears.

Right below these keys, you will find the label of ‘XPERIA,’ while you have camera lenses at the top of the front and the back of the handset.
