The Sony Xperia U is a good phone, if you are looking for something a little smaller. It is perfectly capable for most daily-use situations. It plays your media well, and snaps photos and videos that will be fine for most pedestrian users. The Xperia U is perfectly nice to look at, and serviceable in almost every respect.

It is also a fiddle to get working with your Mac if you want to free up some of that memory in batches. Read more...

And the battery will last longer, too. Read more...

For Android lovers looking for a cheap smart phone for dainty snacking on apps and mobile websites, the Xperia U is a worthy contender. It's cheap, cheerful, cute as a button and -- provided you're not too demanding of it -- fleet of foot.The dinky screen is too small to suit every palm but small-handed folk with a love of bright, glittering lights will definitely want to pop it in their pocket.
