i feel sad that our company was not mentioned as the processor brand for Xperia Go and yet for Acro S, our competitor was mentioned. http://blog.stericsson.com/blog/2012/05/st-ericsson-general/xperia-go-smartphone-powered-by-the-novathor-u8500/
fyi… this is the same processor of Xperia P, U and Sola.

Sorry, the official specs sheet sent to us by Sony did not mention the processor. Thanks for pointing this out and we will edit add this.

Wow. Sony’s been releasing phones one series after the other.. NXT series (S, P, U, Sola), then the Ion, then GX & SX, then Acro S & Go..

btw, will they be launching the GX & SX here in the philippines alongside Acro S & Go on Q3?

Wow. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Check the specs before you speculate and guess.

There is no room for guessing here, the specs are clearly indicated in the websites.

Removable batteries. Please do not troll regarding the specs. Thanks.

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

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?

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
