The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo comes as part of a superhero Android tag team with the Xperia Play. The Xperia Play will blow your socks off with its gaming powers while the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo will thrill your retina with its LED-backlit screen and high-powered 8.1-megapixel camera.
Unlike many superheroes though, the Xperia Neo isn’t a one-power pony. Like Superman listening for the far-off cry of a damsel in distress, it has awesome auditory skills too. With noise cancelling, a powerful speaker and built-in song recognition, it’s one of the best-sounding, most musical phones money can buy – read on and we’ll explain the must have tech in depth.

Blast away the outside world
Life in any modern Megatropolis is noisy. Whether you’re sauntering through the streets of Guildford, Glasgow or Gotham City, the blare of passing sirens and traffic is never too far away. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo has a trick up its skin tight costume’s sleeve to make sure this doesn’t stop your phone conversations.
It comes packed with the Noise Shield, a second microphone that records ambient noise and uses clever processing technology to make your calls clearer. Never again will the person at the other end of the line hang up, frustrated at being able to hear you above the jabbering of passers-by.
This genius tech blasts an inverted soundwave equal to the noise of the outside world into the audio signal, cancelling it out. The best bit is that you never have to worry about it, as it all goes on behind the scenes – the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo has your back, always.
Speakerphone? Megaphone!
Once you take the action off the bustling streets, you won’t always want to keep your Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo tied to your lughole whenever you chat to your mates – it’s just not that comfortable after a while.
Lots of phone speakers are piddly things that leave your caller sounding like they’re talking through seven tea strainers wrapped-up in masking tape, but the powerful speakerphone of the Xperia Neo lets you chat loud and clear. We love using this feature at home, so we can yammer away while rushing about the kitchen, but it’s arguably even more useful on the move.
Secure your road sidekick into a dashboard dock in your car and that powerful speaker steps up a gear. It cuts through the noise of the engine and other traffic like no other. Remember, readers – drive safe and always use the Xperia Neo’s speakerphone function while on the road. With great power comes great responsibility!
Musical genius
Most superheroes never have time to relax and unwind with a rocking tune or two. It’s all “save the world” this and “clamping down on crime” that, but the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo really knows how to have a good time. In fact, it’s a bit of a musical genius.
With the built-in TrackID, the Xperia Neo can identify any tune at fifty paces, and all it needs to go on is a quick snippet of the song in question. This sample is then blasted through the tubular avenues of the interweb, deconstructed by clever little web elves and then sent back to you in the form of the artist, album and track info. How clever is that? The Xperia Neo is like an omniscient sidekick who never fails to make you look cooler and cleverer without you even trying.
