  5. makes me wish I waited a few more months before buying a new phone :'(

  6. Correct me if I’m wrong, pero yung acro S ay parang xperia S na ginawang water & dirt proof??? Kasi lahat ng specs ng xperia S nasa acro na diba?

    • i think the better comparison ay Acro S and Ion. sila ung mas malapit e.

      Xperia S, on the other hand, has no card slot at ung battery is lower. other than that almost same silang tatlo

    • Xperia Acro S 16 GB storage, 1 GB RAM + microSD card slot Xperia S 32 GB storage, 1 GB RAM

      Xperia Acro S Android OS, v4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Xperia S Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread), planned upgrade to v4.0

    • This one has microSD

    • Ion and Acro S ang almost pareho.

  7. ok ah, nice.. ok ung xperia go, kaso 480×320.. ilan kaya pixel density nun.. kmusta kya itsura nun sa screen nung cp. @_@”

  8. Sony has been releasing one series after the other. Nxt series (S, P, U, Sola), then Ion, then GX & SX, then Acro S & Go. What’s up with that?

    Will Sony be launching GX & SX alongside Acro S & Go here in ph on Q3? Or are the former Japan-only units?

  9. hmmmmm… sana 12k below yung SX go… pede kayang ilubog sa tubig yun habanng nagvideo record??

    • successor ng xperia active yung xperia go, so malamang nasa 14-16k din paglabas, after 4-6months lng bago maging 12k

      at pwede mag video recording under water, ginawa ko na yun sa xperia active ko. 6months + several swimming activities later, nabasa din yung loob hahaha

  10. Xperia…Lots of Xperia..Kahit isa wala pa me.But, I’m planning to buy the Sony Sola, though it has no Xperia tag on it.Good job Sony!
