Conclusion
|
This entry-level smartphone will have trouble making a name for itself. While the basic functions work well enough, the Xperia Sola frankly does not have the battery life to sustain it long. Its biggest strengths are audio and photo rendering. When it comes to bang for you buck, we prefer the Huawei Honor and HTC One V. |
Nokia's Lumia 800 is a very good smartphone and very much deserves comparisons with the HTC Titan, which, despite having a better camera, is less stylish and offers fewer services. Nokia has taken a little while to change direction, but this new smartphone marks a solid return to form for what is still the world's largest mobile manufacturer, coupled with an innovative OS that's definitely worth a closer look. Keep up the good work! |
