Sony Xperia SX SO-05D - User Reviews

  • Hello Guys. You can now completely forget about this phone. Too many popular apps will no longer run on this device. Even if you can find it for really cheap, I suggest you avoid it completely. RIP Xperia SX So-05D - my favorite Xperia ever.

  • I really liked this.And again want to have this. But where I can find this in Pakistan.

  • It is now availble for just 4 dollars in pakistan. I am looking for a secondary phone only for call and sms. I really like xperia phone from 2012-2013 is it good choice for sms and call.

  • Well, first time posting here. My smartphone venture started with the Xperia Ray, great little device sadly capabilities were very slow. SX was a breath of fresh air, I have been using the SX since it's release in 2012 and I have to say it's been a very reliable phone and it still is. Fast forward 6 years to present, I'm finally retiring it in favor of probably the last truly compact flagship phone the Xperia XZ1 Compact, had Sony kept releasing the compact series the way it was i would have probably waited a bit longer. The SX and I had a very good run.

  • 1 year since my last comment, and I was the last person to comment here. One my last trip to Japan I noticed a lady still using this phone. The phone is still actually usable in 2017, though app compatibility is getting worse for android 4.1.

  • This era of this phone is coming to an end. While the size and convience, and superior one handed use will never go out of date - the battery, camera and android version are pushing this phone to irrelavancy. Modern apps which can still run on Android 4.1 are getting heavier - and while they still run ok - they drain the battery faster than ever. While the phone is definitly not dead yet. I think its probably in its last year of usefulness now. Though carefull planning, rooting, selective app use , maybe longer.

  • Felas pls confirm that the infrared port can be used with dedicated apk as a TV remote. Has anyone ever checked that? Help me find a shop where I can buy this handset for less then 300€? Where did you get yours from?

  • Can i install a kind of apk with that ?

  • You can root it, no problem - just need to use a bit of google translate on some japanese sites, and you should find the download link for the rootkit fairly easily. Cyanogenmod is not possible - though Android 4.1 is not bad, still very usable and compatible in 2015/2016

  • Amazingly small and light, but still packs enough punch to be useable even today. It's a shame the smartphone industry seems to be running in the complete opposite direction, with oversized, heavy phablets dominating the top end, and cheap junk with garbage specs populating the lower end.

  • Thank you very much for your info about the phone!! I am coming from a wildfire S, and i want a phone with good camera, smooth (Wildfire s is very slow and cant cope with many actual apps), and with a short lenght, and this Xperia SX is the best I have found. Whats about the battery duration?? did u find any solution?? greetings and thank youuu!!!

  • i love it too! How can you root the SX? Is ist possible to get cyanogenmod for it?

  • Its funny that after 3years this is still the best small phone you can buy with decent specs, only the iphone4/5 come close but they are still bigger and heavier. I'm still using this as my daily driver. i tried a Z1 compact to replace this, but it feels giant compared to the SX. Battery life on the SX is pretty bad and you really have to modify the stock Android os with rooting and exposed framework to make it run smooth, but its worth it.

  • Thanks for your answer about the usage in germany! what does "DD" "using it for >1 year as DD" mean? Does it HSDA HSUPA in 3G ?

  • Yes it works in Germany; but it needs to be unlocked by Docomo. Data is limited to 3G since it only has antennas for the Japanese LTE band. AFAIK there is no update available aside from the Docomo ROMs (Android 4.1.2). Upside: the phone is still reasonably fast. Been using it for >1 year as DD, I still like it.

  • will this phone work in germany? and what is the latest android version which will work on it? Thanks for your answers

  • How do i unlock this phone to be able to use it in Nigeria? i love the phone, but its not working with our network...give me unlock pin

  • How do i unlock this phone to be able to use it in Nigeria? i love the phone, but its not working with our network...

  • I have this phone. I am using it in HSDPA / HSDPA+ no problem.

  • Are you sure this phone is hsdpa 850? Says on this site it isn't. This is crucial information for Australians thinking about this phone. Cheers

  • very sexy phone

  • Yes

  • can i used it here in the philippines?

  • if only it is available in philippines.. i love to have sony xperia sx so-50d.. hope it will be available to the market not just in japan but in the whole world.. hope it will be on android kitkat.. ^_^

  • Latest version of support is 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) Back cover pops open for access to battery/sd card/simcard. Battery is the Sony BA700 can find lots of them on Amazon/Ebay. 1.5 years using this little gem and still quick and better spec wise than average phones out there. I really recommend buying from KyoEx.

  • Anyone know what the highest version of Android that this supports is? And if the battery is replaceable? Given the size and specifications I'd be quite interested to have a go at importing one of these so long as it's not going to be stuck running an obsolete version of the OS with a ruined and irreplaceable battery...

  • 17 months on.. and still... Dame perfect phone if there is such a thing! I dropped it and there is a little dent on the frame, which really frustrates and upsets me... I would love to get it exchanged with a new SX. Looks a really professional device.

  • how i can do hard reset my sonyexperia so-05D

  • This is the phone that Sony forgot to release internationally. I would of purchased it the first day it went to market if it had the correct bands for Australia. I would still buy it today if it was released. this phone with KitKat would fill a huge hole in the market for a small but powerful phone. Wake up Sony! your new "compact" is too big.

  • GSM Arena, may you please review this phone, people craving about it, even 1,5 year after release.

  • Hi im from El Salvador, i have one SX SO-05D unlocked, its very fast, fully function in gsm 850 and hsdpa 850 bands.

  • how do you root it? and why i don't get it?

  • @ThMoJe - so it works in Europe on 2G & 3G? I presume you had to decode it first? I want to order it from Japan and just want to know if it can be used in Europe. Thanks.

  • if any one knows, if this phone has talking caller ID, i mean anounce the caller name or number ????

  • I have got the sx, its the perfect size, and light. Wish more phones where this size. Its a fast and with 850Mb of user ram, so its good enough to use as a daily driver. The screen is very sharp with good color reproduction. Only issue is the cpu drains the battery when its at 100% load, you can get around this with rooting. Its a discontinued product with the Z1f replacing it, but Z1f is as big as a galaxy s2, 127mm x 64.9mm x 9.4mm, so its not small.

  • NO... we wany a sub 4" phone, this is the point of wanting the SX

  • I want this phone..!! You must add GLONASS in your specs Full data sheet

  • They did something similar with a w995 style slide phone in the past! It had a 1ghz processor and 12mp camera! The best slider we had was w995 while japan got this beast! Xperia Z1 mini would be a big hit as samsung hasnt got a handset with specs like z1 f yet! My xperia T will be my last xperia if sony dont make Z1-f available in uk! I dont want a 5inch screen and 720p is just fine!

  • Don't worry mate if you check Xperia blog there's evidence from NTT DoCoMo that Sony are releasing a mini version of the Z1 just search it up it's called the Sony Xperia Z1f. Basically it has all of the specifications of the Z1 but it has a smaller 2300mAh battery, 4.3 inch 720p display and is 9.4mm thick. Here's the thread guys:

  • I had the P before, but sent it back because with maximum brightness, everything yellow went to green, really terrible. I think it is problem of the *white magic* and can not be fixed.

  • I found an offer on amazon.co.jp for about 350$, pink version. has someone any idea about unlocking it and international shipping maybe?

  • Now this seems like the thing to replace my Xperia Ray with. What's the deal with Sony? The small form-factor properly featured handset market in the western world is still an unfilled niche. And apparently the hardware pretty much would exist...

  • It really does depend on what you mean by a little gaming. I do not recommend this phone for the battery Life. Its simply awful. Bluetooth is useless as won't last more than 4 h on full charge. Camera is too narrow angle. Else no complaints, but please be warned, battery is extremely poor for daily use unless voice calls. I've had this phone for 4 months now

  • a wasted opportunity by sony . this is the best android I have ever seen . 95g only . they say Japanese keep the best for themselves !

  • Hi, I wanna buy a new cellphone, but I can't decide between the SX SO-05D and the Sony Xperia P. Which is better? which one do you suggest i.e., which one would you buy? Also, does the battery (for both of them) really drain as fast as everybody is saying or these people just leave a lot of Apps running and forget about them? Does it last at least a day? I mean, if I charge it at night, can I use it the whole next day (average using*) and then charge again in the night? Or the battery is gonna die in the afternoon? *by average using I mean a couple of short phone calls, some messages, a few pictures, a couple of short videos, a little snapchatting and what's up messaging, maybe a little gaming... thank you very much

  • if sony has the technology to create a super light smartphone , what are they waiting for ? look at the specs 95 g and width of only 54 mm . this is how a phone should be not 70 or 80 mm in width . please re create something like this again and launch it worldwide and just japan

  • Hello What country are you using the phone in? Where did you get the phone from (did you buy online)? Also what OS are you running - did you upgrade it to jelly bean or is it still ICS?

  • I have been using this phone for the last 6 months. It's ultra light, beautiful, and fast. Only problem -- the battery life is absolutely appalling. With heavy app use, battery life on this phone can be as low as 2 hours after a full charge. Abysmal. I would love it if companies could release more small/ light phone models which are also highly specced. More competition in this category would probably result in better performing devices for consumers. Right now the lighter weight phones are relegated to the budget end of the market, which is a shame.

  • i have a problem with this phone. the ECO Mode is not working and on the Play Store it says not available on your carrier. the battery life is not very good what to do?

  • Has anyone out there owned and used the SX SO-05D on a 3G900 (UMTS BAND 8)?? Is the phone capable of picking up 3G900? Specifications for Docomo can be quite confusing. I have already used an unlocked Docomo phone on the 3G900 band even though all online specifications said nothing of the sort. Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Please only reply if you have on hand experience.

  • supper mob

  • aspect ratio is very close to iphone5. I can see it being a legal issue... It's the only phone meeting my spec requirements, so let's hope it comes...

  • Sony i love you for this.. Bring it to India quick...and i dont mind if its priced similar to Xperia L, ima gonna get this baby. 90gms weight, 8mpx camera, Adreno 225, win win.. Most powerful compact camera in the world.

  • Great phone. But is camera is really really bad. The field of view is also really narrow. So you have to stand really far back to get everything in the photo. Video has the same problem, and also an extremely slow auto-focus.. the camera is always hunting for the correct focus and rarely gets it right. Other than the camera/video. Its a super company small and light phone with fast browsing, fast apps, etc.

  • Hey Sony, bring this phone to Europe NOW!

  • release in india. its size is perfect...

  • F**king sony release it in worldwide or make and introduce small size phones like this.

  • This phone is AWESOME. I purchased one from ebay (guy from japan, he fully unlocks the phone by going to the provider and doing hardware lock and then sets the language to english before shipping to you) and this is EXACTLY what I wanted, I been using my iPhone 3GS for over 3 years now and it was pretty beat up so I decided to look for a new phone. ALL THE PHONES are huge nowadays so I kept looking for a week until I found the SX SO-05D Xperia, second phone I ever owned and very happy with my purchase.

  • Please say that price

  • completely agree with you. Unfortunately nowadays even the so called mini phones are at least 4.3 inches. Why they keep going bigger and bigger is completely beyond me.

  • i want it be released in India with the same dimension and spec

  • it,s good phone about any sony mobile like xperia u but it,s screen should have 4.0 then xperia sxsoo5d better than any xperia phones

  • Yes, i agree. I want a small good smart phone, this looks perfect. The idiots for not releasing in EU we have a niche that needs to be filled and they have a phone to fill it. I have put off buying a smartphone for 2 years because everyone i try is simply too big. I am holding out until this or something similer is released i.e screen size 3.7 or below You found anything else yet?

  • Got the phone. Everything is great,small,fast, powerful, good battery, light. BUT the Camera absolutely sucks. Only 6MP when shooting in 16x9, and the field of view is extremely narrow. Everything is super close, camera feels like its always zoomed in when its not. Night shots are always awful, day time shots is hit and miss, washed out colours, noise, etc. The auto-focus gets it often gets everything wrong. If camera is not important to you, then its still a good phone.

  • I am not too sure that it is possible to get 2-3 days battery life on this phone.

  • suprb

  • Ordered this from Japan, for use in europe, and has been using it for 5 months now. Just love it! Perfect size/weight. Came with loads of useless bloatware from original Japanese telco provider Docomo, that was hard to remove. Have it rooted, and removed everything i do not need, and is now getting extremely good batterylife, 2-3 days including 2-3 hours of callng each day, with 60% screen brightness. With brightness at 100% it works in the sun, but that also drains the battery. 60% works in almost all environments. I am missing being able to use LTE, as it only supports Japanese standards, not EU. Not all headset works well with this device. Great sound with all headset, but microphone only works well with one of my four headset. General performance is top. I have 89 apps installed, and lots of them doing sync, but its always responsive, and newer frezess. Only experienced it crashing with my company's internal SoftPhone. Everything else just runs smoothly. ThMoJe

  • I have Sony xperia SX S0-05d, wo anyone tell me how to connect my mobile into computer.. ?

  • Thank you, I will buy this phone tomorrow. ....if only I could here in Europe. Kinda obvious Sony are reporting major losses over the years. Actions like these are hurting their revenues. In fact, I think these specs are so great that I keep holding on buying a new phone until something comparably decent shows up in my country.... and with me many other people I assure you. Sony, if only you knew what people really want. It's time for you to teach the world--with an adequate advertising campaign--that real mobility is what matters. If you have the production capacity, releasing the Xperia SX as your flagship phone will make you smartphone king. No question about it.

  • I must say, I got this phone without thinking at all (could afford it!). I got it from osoblanco-jp. Excellent communication and rapid delivery - arrived within 2 weeks from Japan, so not much to complain about. I was looking for a one handed, lightweight phone with all the benifits of an android phone. For me, the handset is perfect, almost. It does not come with a charger (this is how sony is selling it - its not due to the ebay seller). The other problem is that the screen is extremly fingerprint friendly - much more so than other phones Ive used... i.e. galaxy note and galaxy s 1. Why is this, no idea - maybe its easier to notice because the screen is not OLED. Also, note, if you decide to get this, it needs a micro sim - not a Nano sim as is the case for iphones. Am I happy - yes. This is a phone that should last me well over 2-3 years finally. A phone that is light, practical and easy to use. If anyone wants a detailed website review, ask - also ask if there is any specific features you want me to test.

  • still waiting~ I hope someday... I will find this phone in stores.

  • Just got it from Ebay from Japan after thinking a long time. Great phone indeed. Matches only to one hand and quite fast. One thing is it full of japanese apps :). You won't regret buying it. it faster than iphone 5.

  • It is not difficult to find a 'slim' phone, but what matters is making it light having around 100g and also around 3.8" display which makes the phone narrower, making one handed operation easy, and also comfortable in your pocket. This phone has this ideal size with high end specs also.

  • We need slim phone such as sony ericsson xperia ray. Sony has made this one (xperia sx so) to only japan. if not like to introduce it worldwide, make another slim phone.

  • Hi, by signing this petition maybe the companies really understand that their amazing hardware accomodated in absurd cases are not high end phones: What a great approach sony did. Have a nice day.

  • It's not impossible to buy it. Recommend to buy it from kyoex.

  • I agree. Sadly the companies think only phablets can become flagships. This is the one. Oh, sorry this was the one to make look the other flagships like toys. What an amazing device. I would still buy it today if sony would offer it globally. Have a nice day.

  • Basically the only phone that suits my requirements of high-spec, high quality camera, light-weight and compact. But only in Japan? Can the number of people who want this sort of phone really be so small ??

  • i have already send an e-mail to sony mentioning that me and many like me wants to have this phone badly. I am requesting all the ppl available here that kindly send sony an e-mail that they should launch this phone out of japan as soon as possible. thx!

  • The fist time I used the phone finder this phone was the only result. I'd like to be able to have it too. It's just not fair it's not available worldwide. It has everything a reasonable person would like from an Android phone - small size, lightweight, decent resolution, fast processor, enough RAM, card slot, image stabilization... If the battery capacity was higher it would be even better, let's say on the price of another 10 grams :-)

  • Hey SONY,if you dont release SX worldwide you must to make another with 4 inch HD display for us. We are your customers and we are waiting for a phone with HD 4 inch display and about SX dimensions

  • I so want this phone! Anyone could suggest a phone, less than 4 inch but with high spec?

  • We need it in Europe!!!

  • One question. I´m in latinamerica. If I buy this phone in Japan, can I use it here?

  • I completely agree with Techno. I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray which is a beautiful little handset. Much better, quality-wise, then the rest of the current Xperia range in the UK. I wanted to upgrade this to a Qhd display and dual core as it struggles with .mkv files. Then I came across this little beauty (doing a GSM Arena search) and it ticks all the boxes. But it won't come out in Europe! Instead we get the Xperia Z which I was not impressed by (the display is quite poor). Where are all the high-specced small phones for those of us that don't want to carry a brick around???? Oh, and Sony et. al. a lot of us *want* to be able to swap the battery out and add memory cards. I avoid phones where you *can't* do this.

  • If the marketing or executive people in sony would understand that this is supposed to be their flagship phone and not the experia z, they can actually throw samsung and apple away...

  • This phone is so amazing! It is small. It is light. It is beautiful. It supports LTE. Its battery is replaceable. It has external microSD card. And, of most importance, it is Android! Why Sony can't release this phone in China? If only they could replace FeliCa with NFC and OneSeg with CMMB, there would be a lot of users like me that will buy it! I can't find a phone with better screen or hardware specs in such size and at such price. I want this phone so badly!

  • Many people wants this phone badly. But Sony will never understand! They are looking to promote their giant phone Xperia Z. They don't realise that most of us want a handy light smartphone with best specifications like this one. Most of their other phones can't be chosen because the battery is non removable. Sony ought to do a research on what their customers really need...

  • I want this phone so bad, i wonder when this will be released in Philippines? It's already March 2013.

  • I am totally satisfied with the specifications such as camera, os, display. I like the phone.

  • I have now had this phone for a couple of months, and is 100% satisfied. I do not like big heavy phones, but want to be able to do the same thing. With just under 100 grams and size 115 x 54 x 9.4 mm, it is the phone that comes closest to the 1-5-10-100-500 (D-W-H-Weight-Standby hours)specifications that we were use to expect from phones back in the 90's, OK it only has half the standby time, but i talk several hours each day, and has only once in three months ran out of juice.

  • I want this phone! I don't like big phones. This is just nice

  • Please release it all over the world, this phone is exactly what i want.

  • this phone is very nice,but expensive in iran.

  • Very nice!

  • i love this phone but it so expensive

  • Sony should release this beauty worldwide. Or atleast make the next NXT generation with this beautiful design.

  • Blackberry copied Xperia SX design. HTC also copied Xperia SX with their upcoming HTC One M7. Sony should sue them and make some money.

  • when it available in india..??

  • All the giant phones, with crappy non removable battery, for the world. And at last when they made a good phone, it is for Japan. What a nonsense!

  • Please release it on worldwide,..i love this phone! And so desperate i can't have it in my country,..

  • does anyone know if i can buy it in Hong Kong? i'll be there for a few days and i have not enough time to search it.. and i really want it :) thanks!

  • It's battery would be repalceable.......

  • it's only for japanese market

  • Exactly xperia ray s

  • Switched from Samsung Toco to Sony Ray. Loved the major upgrade. Now looking at my next phone and expected more than this SX. The Ray is clean and sleek. Minimum labeling, thin width and thickness. The SX is not this way. What is with all the tags on the front, color engraved lines, and multi color front. I get asked questions about the Ray all the time from big phone users. Small size, one hand open, and sleek look has switched some.

  • When it is releasing in india i am anxious to buy this smartphone

  • In you can get it for 4050HKD from L&T Communications. A lot more if you want it from Japan, through Kyoto Exports.

  • Please Release this phone with Mini-Sim Features.

  • SONY!!!!!! Release this phone worldwide,please Sony,please,please,please,please :'( I'm your fun and I love this phone

  • What will be its expected price????

  • release it worldwide please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • is this available in philippines!?

  • Sony, don't make us wait, just release this phone worldwide! Please released it for other countries also!!!!

  • I couldn't agree more, this should be released worldwide under the name Xperia Ray S, having retained the Ray's sexy slim design plus single-hand-usage friendly screen size with close to 300ppi pixel density..... sure as hell I do not want all future phones to be "5 inch screen" big, puke!!

  • I KNOW, its like the xperia ray 2 nice and small with great specs, sad that ive heard nothing about it in the UK.. :(

  • i wish it would be cheap in my country

  • Fabulous - just the specification I'm looking for, a BRILLIANT upper-midrange phone that will STILL FIT IN MY POCKET!!!

  • Sony, don't make us wait, just release this phone worldwide!

  • Thanks. I'll buy it tomorrow.

  • this phone really looks like iPhone 5 -_-

  • my favorite phone

  • Mkhvahm I know this phone is available in the UAE? And How much does it cost?

  • See Kyoto exorts in ebay or kyoex website, Dey r selling internationally..

  • In this HD screen era, this phone should be medium- low Android class and priced accordingly. 4.3" HD is the medium and anything larger than that is the high-end.

  • $800, you are so rich... I believe $400 is a fair price.

  • Sony, don't make us wait, just release this phone worldwide!

  • i like this mobile this mobile in the dubai market i can findit

  • I'm confused: there are no Japanese online stores that sells internationally? Nobody ever bought online from Japan? I understand hat Japan is an island group but I can't believe they are internationally isolated regarding online purchases.

  • sony phone are only for japanese, we foreigner should`t buy.

  • release it now SONY!!! WORLDWIDE!!! what are u doing?? hays

  • What is the actual screen size of this phone? Pls measure those who have this phone. Measure the length and the width vertically and horizontally, not diagonally. Thanks. I want to know how narrow the screen is. Thanks

  • iPhone 5 is a 4" device, Galaxy S3 is a 4.8" device. Other than that they are both high end in their class, they are totally different. If Sony is going to release something to compete both, they need two separate devices: The SX (or something similar) to compete in the small/light category against the iPhone (and I would have bought it immediately if it were available for a reasonable price, not the ~750euro it would cost me now), and something like the current Xperia T/TX to compete against the S3 in the 4.5"+ category. And you could say that already the T/TX is competing against the S3.

  • I read sony is planning to release soon a direct competitor to the samsung galaxy3 and the iPhone5. This phone already exists (xperia SX), sadly only for Japan. I think the pricing giving by gsmarena is wrong. It can be bought for 800USD not 450USD. Sure there are sony phones with slightly higher specs but due the size this device really deserves to be called a cellphone.

  • Hii., Need some info please, This phone is cool, will this be released in INDIA?

  • Would you please make a 360 degree spin for this phone. And perhaps a side by side scale comparison pic of the Xperia S, Xperia SX, and iPhone 5

  • Nice phone! I hope Sony will release this phone worldwide next year. For sure, I will buy this beauty.

  • Wish this pone comes worldwide!

  • Hi can you make a review for this phone then upload it on youtube?

  • I'm currently using it on Rogers' network in Calgary. You will have to manually set up the APN for 3G/MMS though (very easy). Everything will work, except for the Docomo apps. I totally recommend Kyoex! 100% real deal and one of the best online sites I've ever encountered. Check out his ebay reviews if you have doubts. He's very open to negotiation so just ask for a discount.I just recently ordered a 2nd SX for my GF too.

  • Hey tyce what city are you in hows the 3g on the sx and are we sure kyoex is the real deal

  • sony should release the phone globally asap..

  • sony should release the phone globally asap..

  • Finally I was able to download the white paper of this phone, it says there the in-depth specs of the phone. This phone has multitouch capability with up to 10 fingers supported, the screen is shatter proof and scratch resistant, it has radio, it says there that the flash memory is only up to 4gb and not 8g. I'm begging you Sony to please release this phone globally.....

  • Wow, Kyoex price + shipping (40 USD) to Europe is about 800 USD! This is insane. Is this some weird marketing to keep this phone Japan only?

  • Pretty sure the screen is not scratch resistance (definitely not going to test that either). The phone does come with a screen protector preinstalled. Yes, it has radio and fully functional in Canada. Yes, it has multitouch (more fingers than you'll ever need). For everything else refer to the specs sheet from GSM. Cheers!

  • I have questions to those who have this phone, pls answer.. :) Is the sceen scratch resistant or not? does it have radio? It's indicated that it has multitouch capability, the question is how many fingers can we use simultaneously? And lastly, how many is the user available internal memory? I really want this phone, but it's not (yet) available worldwide. Huhuhu :'(

  • Check the following for more background:

  • Jenin, I mailed kyoex and unfortunately he only sells the device with docomo logo. TyceC, i see the phone has built-in digital TV. Does it work in your country? And also, devices like bluetooth headset mw600 do they pair correctly, showing caller id and track id?

  • & how is the user available internal memory..???plz tell..thanx in advance..:)

  • thanx for ur reply..i want to buy it without the docomo logo..bacause the logo looks so ugly..the shape of the phone is awesome..can i get the phone without the logo of docomo..???how is the camera (both rear & front) ..???how is the music quality..??

  • Work with Rogers 3G. Just have to manually enter in the APN.

  • Got it from here Ask for discount, and you will get (he also sell cases). Ugly DoCoMo logo will be there. Battery life is good, I can go 36hrs with minimal usage or

  • hey tyceC..does it have docomo logo..???how's the battery back up..???& what is the price..??plz let me know..thanx in advance..:)

  • That's great. Already heard back from them! Thanks for all your help!!

  • I bought my phone from here, Since they didn't have my phone in the Sony Store and we can't buy from DoCoMo unless you a DoCoMo plan ID. Give Kyoex a shot, just ask for the phone you want, even if it's not listed yet. They have amazing customer service they will unlock and do everything for you. You can confirm whether it'll work with Telus with them too. The ugly DoCoMo logo will be on there, unfortunately. Cheers

  • Cool yea I see it there under the world wing category. I have just a few more questions! :) did u buy it off of the Docomo site or Sony site? How did you get it unlocked? And will the Docomo logo be on the phone? Lol thanks a lot!!! Ur help is greatly appreciated!!

  • Your phone will work in Canada if it's under the World Wing category with DoCoMo. I believe it is, so I'm pretty sure it'll work. It won't hurt to confirm with the store first though. From my experience, everything worked including the Marketplace. Things that didn't work includes the radio, mobile wallet and the random extra apps from DoCoMo (nothing special). Other than that, the phone runs like your typical android.

  • Hey tyceC, I'm interested in buying a Japanese Sony xperia AX but not sure if it will work on telus. Main concern is Will the marketplace be stuck to Japan and what apps will and won't work? How was your experience? Your help would be greatly appreciated

  • does it work with Rogers 3G network?

  • How about digital TV or AVRCP 1.3 on bluetooth? Do these work?

  • Just recently got it and been using it with a Rogers' SIM here in Canada. Everything works except for the Japanese apps (as expected). This is one little compacted tank.

  • Will it be sold in india ?

  • Wil it be sold in india

  • By the way, one final comment. I say it's the perfect phone only because bluetooth 4 currently available (as of octorber30 2012) still isn't working properly on most phones its offered in. (which are mostly samsung phones). They are having serious issues with the Bluetooth LE DualMode features available on the S3 and i would bet that the same issues are on the Note2 as well. Once bluetooth 5 is out and those issues in the next upcoming phones are fixed then my opinion on the best phone out might change depending on overall design. Still this is the only android phone out with good enough looks and has infrared. If you have the money (700+ USD) in my humble opinion this is the phone to get.

  • This would be the perfect phone if it had a barometer. This phone basically has everything except for POGO docking which i could live without because of touchstone mods. Bar+IRDA = *rough temperature readings*. & Bar = altitude = +1 position assist = *faster gps lock*. & BAR = pressure reading = rain warnings. & There are more i'm not going to go into. (You get the idea) It is amazing what the lack of a single sensor can make or break a phone.

  • have you ever thought about the roaming? in what country are you using the phone?

  • in the phone cant you disable some of the running backround apps that are usually running for no reason, i have the sony arc and there was so many backround apps running that drained my battery so i disabled them but when i disabled them they dissapear from my homescreen ... ?

  • The same thing happened with my xperia x10 mini pro, the true was that the battery was killed not by the apps, but by specific apps updatating process, that worked in background and i couldn't neither see nor stop them... If in 2-4 days the problem disappear post it...

  • I need phone with similar form factor, but with Windows Phone 8. Sony, please, make it! :)

  • I have this phone and baught it mainly for the design and weight. I really like smaller smartphones. It is pretty easy to use but they really lie on the battery. I believe this is mainly because of apps running in the background and "advanced task killer" app don't seem to kill them so they are always running and killing the battery. If anybody has tip/app to make the battery better, please let me know cheers

  • Worth the import from Japan, used alot of phones this one is above all the other on the market.Light, fast,good battery, excellent interface, my guess is Sony will bring out another similar model for outside of Japan but like i said worth importing this one...

  • Hi, I read here that this device can work in italy with italian sim. But even if it can work correctly, I think japanese HSDPA frequences are different from italians one... so can this cause stress on the phone and be deleterious for battery life? Thank you in advance

  • great phone...better than galaxy s2.....but bad luck not sold outside japan...sony must create better than these but the same gpu,cpu,s4 chipset and faster dualcore processor but the same screen size...for amid range phone

  • Does anybody know is there a notification light indicator like on Xperia U? Cheers!

  • What do you think how much it will cost? 300-350+ euro,or more?

  • I want this badboy so bad. I have been wating to get a smart phone, as i don´t really need one. My "old" SE zylo still treats me well. The SX has the best phone design I my opinion, only second to the iphone 5. My guess is, that sony is afraid to release this to the rest of the world because it´s very similar in design to the iphone5. For me this is the ideal size and spec. It´s sad that well speced phones usually have 4,3 inch or higher displays. That is such a plus point in the sx. Power, quality, in a compact size. DO want!!

  • Nice phone, sony should have an international version of it.

  • My dream phone It's a pity that it's only for Japan I hope Samsung releases similar specs in a compact case.

  • If i get a unlocked version, can i use it in Indian 2g/3g network?

  • It must be launched in India also.

  • This phone is 100% compatible with the LTE network from Smart Communications in the philippines. May require an unlock but if you can get this phone into the philippines it will work just fine with 4g.

  • Why only japan? I really want this! This is the most pocket friendly high end phone in the market that wil fit perfectly in my skinny jeans! Damn u sony!

  • Seems to be the best in their lineup for many years. And it will only be for the japan market? Well, i have a pretty good idea why sony loses billions every year.

  • why only in japan??? i so so liket....

  • when are going to be available in the philippines?

  • Lol

  • Sony cant release it outside japan, because a company who has a patent on rectangle will surely sue them because it is rectangular.

  • @ Sony: Please release this phone global! It will beat the iphone 5.

  • s, It will work. U need to change to ur language. Dat's it.

  • Aniway if i buy it from ebay, would it work in Italy?

  • Perhaps Samsung & HTC bribed Sony not to release it outside Japan.

  • the unique feature is the 1.5g dual core cpu. This is same as galaxy S3. This phone will be blazing fast. in addition screen, battery, os, gpu, camera, etc are all top of the line. All this in a compact and light weight phone.

  • we have to do a global petition? One for SONY and one for NTT?

  • I think it's an NTT Docomo commissioned model, made by Sony with precise specifications requested by NTT. I guess in the future, if NTT allows it, Sony might release an identical or similar model worldwide. Or it might not :(

  • wow more beautiful than iphone 5

  • sony please !!!! make this phone worldwide . im 100% sure that if this phone will come out in japan it will hit the shelves :d

  • Sony why Japan Market only? Its such a great phone, we need it globally.

  • It's better sell worldwide, not only in Japan :(

  • The perfect smartphone to compare iphone 5 with

  • Guys at Sony are real stupid not releasing it outside Japan.

  • pls give us update in this. is there anyway to contact sony? im dying to have this as my first android phone

  • Well, not every country have 4G. And then it could have a reasonable price.

  • are u serious about w/o 4g?

  • A worldwide version nf this should be released without 4G

  • A Worldwide version of Xperia sx should be released without 4G.

  • Xperia GX = Xperia TX

  • hope see it in the philippines perfectly design 3.7 screen hd fr0nt face cam, andr0id all in one slim phone hope see it 0n philippines

  • I expect a long time for me a complete phone in terms of features. Why not come to Europe do not understand. Sony to deprive us and the whole world in this way the device...

  • why only four japs market? to judge by specifications it,s best 3.7 inch, proc, camera...

  • pls give us news about this phone. can we get this in the philippines?

  • It says right up there, above the specs, it's for the Japanese market only..unfortunatelly..

  • xperia v best in big and xperia sx best in small

  • When this phone will launch in Pakistan and any idea about Price ????

  • Is this phone going to be released around the world? With all the thin and big phones coming out, phones like these aren't much appreciated, but not me. If this was released, I would buy it and put Xperia sola second.

  • this is the phone every one love to buy . sony doing great work

  • no prob,because its gsm network

  • How do you know that

  • I think there is a chance to own this one even though the phone is marketed in Japan.. Some shops in eBay sell Docomo Phones (like the Acro HD), and it seems that someone would sell the Sony SX phone in the eBay market soon. So, we may have the chance to own this SXy phone ;)

  • what if i buy it in japan and then fly back to my country of origin??? PROBLEM????!!!

  • is it designed for Japan only or we will get it in Indian markets also & but when ?

  • Noticed that the 3G band support isn't filled in... gave me some hope about getting this phone imported. Did some research, but was wondering if Docomo's World Wing specification implies that this phone has support for 3G CLR (850Mhz) frequencies... Links here (in japanese) (in english) The docomo site mentions that class 4 world wings has support for GSM, 3G and 3G 850, and the SX is apparently class 4. Anyone have more information?

  • it`s very ashamed to sony to keep this great phone for the japanees only ? is that because sony considers the japanees the top and the other people in the second place?

  • i like this phone,where i can buy this?pls

  • hi 2 all friends am just want to know that is when when when...... this sexy Sony Xperia SX SO-05D lunched in India pl z..... tell te that month at least. i decided to buy xperia-p but its better then xperia-p an same range on same price so that's why waiting to lunched in Indian market plz any one tell me that am wating for reply..................

  • I heard some claimed to have close connection with Sony said they changed their mind and will determine if an international version of the phone will be available depend on performance of the phone in Japanese market in first quarter after it release....hoped finally it will come out.

  • Note that this phone's specifications like CPU or RAM are quite similar to AT&T's One X and Galaxy S3, and better than Xperia ion, so the actual price probably higher than guessed.

  • Japanese phone have a 'tradition' that they provide low volume battery (some saw that's because their network drain fewer battery), 1year ago when Huawei Honor launched in Japan with 1800mAh+ battery, It already able to claim itself to be the one with largest battery on the market. Nowadays, for all phone Docomo to be release this summer, counting in those phone made by international companies, plus the effort Docomo made to provide phone with huge battery, and those with screen size as large as 5", their average battery volume is just a bit more than 1800mAh. Therefore among Japanese phone, the phone with this amount of battery already reasonably large, especially when compare with those like last year Sharp's 007sh with 3.4"screen, which its battery only have 820mAh

  • Note that due to the different aspect ratio, this phone actually have a narrower screen than 4S, therefore it is reasonable for 4S's width wider than it.

  • I hope this phone will be released in Europe. Or else im gonna import it myself. Maybe 2Gb of ram instead of 1Gb also. Great fallowup to Xperia ray, nice tiny size (I dont want a huge brick in my jeanspocket).

  • 54 mm wide only at 3.7" screen? Probably the most compact smartphone to date.. Even more compact than my iphone 4s w/c is 58.6 mm wide at 3.5" screen. The reason I bought iphone 4s among other high-end flagships is because its the only one w/c fits friendly right into my pocket and works smoothly w/ single-handed operation. But i guess SX would be a nice option to consider now... I really hate bulky phones. Many will offer high-end specs...but only few can still manage to fit a good technology in a compact hardware. Iphone 4s and xperia sx are worth mentioning.

  • i just hate d fones wid very screens like one x or xperia p or s3...this fone is just right for me..great specs wid a very gud display size.n fone is also not very big..

  • This fon will create a BOOM in the market..

  • I'm guessing this phone costs lesser than Xperia P and more than Xperia U. Something around INR 20,000 hopefully.

  • its lacks a scratch resistant display?

  • i hope this phone to be sold in middle east its the best phone

  • yes seems to be a really nice phone must be released world wide atleast in india . but when it will be released.

  • This phone could become a massive hit worldwide...if it's globally available!!! Sony, release it worldwide!!

  • Want worldwide variant of this phone with physical keyboard...would be PERFECT!

  • it lacks scratch resistant display

  • it lacks scratch resistant display

  • please release in the philippines

  • i think if they could fit in 1800 mAh battery in it somehow, this phone will be a monster and will be unbeaten for sometime. 1800mAh would add may be extra 10 gms to it but at 105gms it still will be featherweight but its back power will be enhanced manifolds..... Sony please see if you could incorporate the same in this. As an standard these days, at least 1800mAh should be used as 1500mAh does not have the strength to justify the power of resource hungry smartphones. These are not that much monstrous in dimension as compared to 1500 mAh and could be adjusted in the slimmer bodies with little bit of modifications

  • a beast of a phone, so light weight yet powerful.... must be released worldwide asap plz......................

  • Come on Sony...wreck this samsung,htc mediocre crap...with Latest ICS powered Premium-built Xperia line-up....

  • great phon and design.

  • Where too insert the micro sdcard????

  • Sony is Camera & DSLR maker, why they still use 8MP camera?? Why Sony's Phone cameras are not special now than cybershot Era?? Nokia has 41MP Camera, HTC has 16MP camera and they are not Camera maker Company!! Wake up Sony!

  • Sony Xperia SX SO-05D (Hands-On) Guys when will going to release this in Europe?

  • Sony, bring it in Europe as soon as possible. And GX with it!

  • the features.. sweeeeeeeeet!!! if only it was more bella like the neo l

  • I hope Sony in manufacturing their mobiles do not follow any Quality Compromise since in the last two models of the Sony Ericsson we are experiencing a lower quality in the ingredients of the product itself I mean software and performance otherwise the Brand definitely will start losing the image. their S E mobile phones have been performing amazingly for the last seven years hoping they will continue without any quality deffect

  • Doesnt make any sense if they'll price at that range...coz at $632 you'll get quad-core phones...hope that Sony makes a right move by hitting the right price point...& i believe that it $632 is for Sony Xperia GX...

  • I heard it will cost $632 :(

  • No Scratch-resistant glass??Sux then.Shame because is a great phone.Sony mande a mistake because thei didn't put 1.

  • Should be my next phone... if available globally

  • come on sony !!! why its not world wide phone this phone must be world because it is deserve to be me and my brothers here are burning to buy this phone please sony do it :)

  • Can any only pls reply can we get this mobile from japan and use as unlocked mobile in world wide?

  • is that phone have an antena for the tv? - Digital TV and TV launcher ?

  • The design of this phone is quitely awesome than XPERIA S. Hope it'll also launch here in Ph. :)

  • Finally the perfect handset from Sony!! Hope that Sony makes it available world wide...keeping my fingers crossed!! It has the perfect dimension and specification...If only Sony provide its for less than 400$, it would definetly be a dream come true...& i am sure it would surely sell as a Hot cake!!

  • Fine Sony if you not gonna make Xperia SX and GX worldwide I will go to Japan for buying this Phone :)

  • does anyone here here think that xperia U and P were just experimental models on how people receive the new sony design and spec sheet?...considering that both are really good except for some standout problems like no SD cards and no ICS...all of which seem to have been dealt with in these models while the good traits all stayed ?

  • I've been an Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray user for quite some time. I love it, and I still love it. This one would be a good upgrade from Ray. Having more grunt behind CPU and RAM. But I'm not sure I would spend the extra money just yet, as Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray is serving me very nicely for the time being. Latest Ericcsion Xperia ranges, and now onto Sony Xperia, is definately looking good for me. My only concern is all Xperia ranges carry too similar design concept, making all phones look the same.

  • This phone having perfect dimension and specification.. If Sony provide it worldwide for less than 400$, you might will make a huge income after Q3.. Please do it Sony.. This is a great phone..

  • The perfect handset! Hopefully, it would be available world wide. Fingers Cross!

  • Any one pls advice can we able to purchase this mobile and can use it in India???????

  • Come on Sony release this phone worldwide and I'll pay for �350 max.

  • You're a bit off topic here, this is the Sony Xperia SX, not the Xperia S.

  • If sony was smart they would buy out awd launcher or something instead of their crap launcher.

  • Killer design and killer specs. but .. Why no gorrila glass??

  • hi, gsm arena see all these comments....all people in the world are ready to buy this mobile...for the massive hit of this year......gsm arena pls pls pls...send all these comments to sony company or to concerned sony department....... "release this mobile world wide"......sony company profit surely increases.....xperia sx..the best mobile of sony xperia....due to specification and size of mobile.

  • Why only Japanese market? All SX models only for the japonese?

  • Great dimensions and specs sony why u not worldwide??

  • Absolutelylutely! If Sony makes this phone available worldwide this is absolutely going to win a lot of nokia, samsung, and HTC fans! This phone will rule the midrange section!

  • Wowww..... Almost perfect middle class phone.. Amazing... Sony, please release this baby worldwide.. Please, please..

  • I see people more inclined towards Xperia SX than Xperia P. In terms of design and specs SX beats P hands down. Sony better make this phone worldwide instead of sticking only to Japanese market.

  • No need to dethrone samsung, the more important is customer satisfaction by releasing this sexy SXSX worldwide asap.

  • I want Oranger colour please Sony release WorldWide..if is available in Bangkok or Singapore I'll travel there to buy it! But please release in India I'll pay max. Rs.20,000 for this! Come on Sony! You can Do It!!

  • i agree with maxx. sell it in world wide and i will buy it

  • gsm arena pls pls send these messages to sony..... make xperia sx to be sold world wide....world wide....world wide.....surely sony will hit the profit more......pls sony release this world wide.....come on sony...

  • Wow! great specs, good processor, micro sd, style and screen size is better than iphone even though the phone is slimmer, I would definetly buy if available worldwide. This seems like a great succesor of Xperia Ray

  • Bullshit mobile, I think I made a mistake by buying Xperia S because this mobile keeps on hanging inbetween and cannot even restart immediate, cannot remove the battery because it doesn't have battery and takes 4 to 5 hrs and sometimes more to work normally, I just buy d phone not even one month but hang for atlest 4to5 times till now, im fedup with this......

  • looks like Sony is taking over !

  • come on sony do sum thing for people d also ...... dont be so selfish ....!!! despite of having a great design of xperia u,p nd sola they have a poor battery performance ....... nxt thing xperia p a gr8 phone but 1300mAh battery its as gud as a piece of aluminum

  • pls pls pls sony release this mobile world wide.....pls sony

  • I'm gonna buy this phone!

  • Wow Sony should keep their sizes around these area since they are the only ones that provide HIgh End Hardware on now Normal Sized Screens

  • First !! Better than Xperia P, and with memory card.. and smaller. Why Sony doesn't release this one instead of P ??

  • oh mann it must be wrldwide
