Sony Xperia V review: glass half empty

We weren’t happy with the Sony Xperia V. Matter of fact, Gearburn editor Steven Norris was outright hostile towards it, but we gave him some of his special elixir and he calmed down, a little.

Sony’s Xperia V is a confusing mess of a device. It’s not the worst-designed phone in the world, but it has some really silly aesthetic issues. It’s also pretty nippy, but what’s the point of all that speed if the phone crashes on a daily basis? And why for the love of god is there that awful lip on the bottom of the V? All this and more is addressed in our video review of the Sony Xperia V.
