1. Sony Xperia Sola (Price: Rs 14,500)
Sony Xperia Sola is another Sony's Mid Range Budget Phone priced at Rs 14500 but you can find it somewhat less in price if you use your bargaining skills. Sony offers great design to its every phone and adopting the same strategy, the xperia sola has a very unique design.
The Xperia sola has the square front but not the curvature back of the NXT line. The trademark transparent, glowing strip of the new Xperia phones is also gone, and is instead replaced by an elongated LED under the display, where it stylistically juts out from the body. More of a standby breathing light rather than an event notifier, it emits occasional short glows and pulsates upon an incoming call.
The display is very sharp and has a very good resolution. Like the members of the Xperia NXT family, it's backed by the mobile BRAVIA display engine, a variant of what Sony use on their HDTVs.
It also has a Dual Core 1 GHz Cortex A9 Processor, a mali-400MP GPU, Mobile Bravia Engine , 512 MB RAM and a 5 MP Camera, the Same specs we found in Xperia U. But the Sola has advantage of a larger screen (3.7-inch), NFC technology, Floating Toch Technology and Expandable Memory Card Slot. But Sola has also a disadvantage of not having a front camera.
Pros :
1. 1 GHz Dual Core Processor
2. Mali-400MP GPU
3. 5 MP Camera with HD Recording
4. HTML5 Support with Adobe Flash
5. Very Sharp Display
6. Mobile Bravia Engine
7. Timespace UI is very good

9. Floating Touch Technology

1. Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box (But Upgradable to v4.1 JellyBean)

3. Front Camera Missing
4. Non Removable Battery
