Whether Sola or Go, depende sa paggagamitan yan. I’d go for GO because I can play ‘tanching’ and piko with it. :P

You ought not to bring out your sola to take pictures during songkran or pista ng San Juan either.

I’d still pick this one over Sola. Shock Resistant, Dust Resistant, Scratch Resistant, Water Resistant is something that you’ll rarely see from a phone.

You guys dont know about technology, the battery is lower because it has 2 core, meaning its a more power efficient than a single core that why xperia ray has a higher battery cause it consume more…got it? dont be ignorant OK?

I don’t see how this phone could be priced at 14k. It looks like an Xperia mini, with only a few specs upgraded. Get a Sola instead.

nakakadiappoint naman ang Sony kung kailan nakakaimpress yung phones nila…biglang embedded yung phone (except for this), walang SD card slot at mababa yung battery tsk…
acro S na lang…konting hintay pa >_<

Comparing the specs, you’d be better off with an Xperia Sola. Which has twice the pixel density, a slightly bigger screen, the floating touch, and NFC. They sell for nearly the same price anyway.

The only problem that I could see here is the battery life. Outdoor adventurers couldn’t rely on this phone. It may be tough outside, but without anyjuice inside, guess, that would be the problem.

I wonder why they opted to use smaller capacity batteries? :( Mas mataas pa yung capacity ng battery ng ray sa U! :(
