  1. It sucks the fact that it has to be a dual-core. -_-

  2. epic fail na naman ito ng sony. di na natuto. sa ganyang presyo, kukuha nako ng s3 o one x!

  3. Ibuka + Morita = Wozniak + Jobs YES

    SONY = APPLE NO

  4. price is very high. I’d rather buy iPhone 4S than this.

  5. magrerelease pa ng LTE capable handset yung di pa magagamit.. epic fail..

  6. sayang ganda pa naman ng design ng sony. They always do these kind of things – delayed release and below standard specs for a flagship device (quadcore should be a must these days specially if they will price it like that).
    Imagine next week pa ang release and yet hindi pa din ICS, indeed another wrong move from sony, too bad i really like their design.

  7. Sir Yuga, did Sony mention the SRP of Xperia Neo L? I guess this cannot be pricier than Xperia U since it’s a step-down in terms of hardware despite its ICS flavor.

  8. Sony, Sony, Sony.. A dual-core phone with Adreno 220 for 30,000 bucks? At that price we can already buy a quad-core phone. What a failure.

  9. The fact na Dual core lang siya? – Take note po natin na kht dual core siya eh eh it’s still under the hood of Snapdragon S3 version which is quite promising compared to other chip manufacturing, compared sa ibang company “SONY” is still the one which gives effort to give the latest OS for their phones not just Yelling to the public na “they will update the device in later months, na sa bandang huli eh babawiin lang pala, kesyo ganito, kesyo ganyan,” – i’ve not an Sony Avid follower but based on my experience in their device like (x10i from donut to Gingerbread and Arc S from gingerbread to ICS” they also the one na nag-gigive up ng mga nilagay nila na bloatware in exchange for the new os that their promise.

  10. Another new touchscreen slab… Ho-hum…

    I miss clamshells. ;)

  11. Ano ba talaga? LT28h nakalagay tapos LTE capable?
    LT28h model ay HSPA+ version, no LTE!

  12. LT28i po yung LTE enabled
    LT28h ay HSPA+ lang.
