Yep, this is my 2nd Go phone and it too has a nasy light bleed issue under certain angles. Feel free the post your photos of screen so everyone can compare. Looks like Sony didn't care to much about quality on the Go phones. My X10 Mini pro didn't have this defect.
My first Xperia Go.

My 2nd Xperia Go
I returned my first phone since the seller too thought it was a defect. But with the 2nd phone coming in like this, I think it's just the way it is. I purchase this 2nd one from a different seller in the US. Both was purchased on Amazon.
Its been a long time device,but your the first to notice it....ask some1 that has same device,maybe itll loosen things up if its really normal,
Sony Xperia P LT22i
I have the same issue on my Xperia U. There are light leaks from both side of the screen. I sent it to the service and they said it's normal. Actually they didn't say anything, they've just returned my phone. It is an unacceptable fault from company like Sony. I guess, We had to deal with that kind of problems when it's comes to choosing a low-end device. In that case, a nearly high-end device like you have. Because most of the phone manufactures don't care about build quality when it is comes to low-end devices.

Wow, so it's also affecting other Sony models. Sony needs to step it up. Because ever since they dropped Ericsson, their quality seems to be going down hill. Seems like they trying to rush with all these new phones coming out.
By Sony not giving a rats ass about quality, it's no wonder Samsung, LG, HTC and even Motorola has a better reputation than Sony. My next phone won't be a Sony that's for sure. Heck, I might as well get the Meizu instead.
My old school Sony Walkman didn't have these light leaks. The camera on that phone takes faster and better pictures than my X10 mini. Also, that phone has a built in "phone recorder".
Not sure why Sony stopped including the recorder.
Mine's fine. And I haven't been easy on this thing.
Tapped on a not-so-stock ST27i ICS.
Here. I can't see bleeding.

Present in my xu too on left side
Not a problm for me though
I have this isseu on all my android phones i had
Its mostly caused because of either rough way of handling the package
Or dropping the phone

I want to buy a new phone, I was thinking abt getn XS, but wen I saw XP, I was surprised by its look, its awesome design and looks like a polished product.
I want to know opinion of other XS, XP users......
Well in terms of power and storage the obvious answer is no.
Looks wise the P might just have the edge with the aluminum body. Not that much difference in size between the two either but I haven't played with one yet I have just seen a couple of comparison videos.
Cannot comment on the WhiteMagic screen either as I haven't seen a physical device yet. What I can say is the screen on the S is fantastic and makes you feel all warm inside when looking at it.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
In my opinion,
S is better hardware wise no.
Design , I personally prefer P. Mainly because of the aluminium body looks and feels more premium and no USB flap. I know many say that the flap isn't that fragile but I just feels so
If you prefer better hardware, go for S, else otherwise.
How I wish S in aluminium + colour changing strip

Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Think I have under estimated the Xperia P somewhat.
I have been playing with the black version for around 3 hours now and its a little pocket rocket. The design and feel is very satisfying, feels premium. The screen is fantastic, very bright, crisp and clear. Had a test in the sun and set screen brightness to automatic (yes it has automatic or manual control, as well as a power saver option) all text and colours are still very easy to see. You now press the icons on the transparent bar for home, back and settings, back button does not suffer like the S, one tap and responds. I have removed the widgets on the home screens and set basic stuff up that I use and have no lag whilst switching screens, app tray opens almost instantly, apps open in very good time, installing apps seems faster than on my S. In the box is the EP850 fast charger.
This is just a very quick analysis so far and will add more as and when I find more interesting bits. Needless to say I am very tempted to sell my Xperia S and use the P as my daily driver.
EDIT: After using this device for over a day I can truly say it is outstanding. To the point that my Xperia S is being sold and this is now my main device
The Xperia P comes with more notification and ringtones so I have zipped them.

I think Xperia S is the better choice than xperia p
Devices:The One and only!!!
Xperia S
Xperia s
Xperia S would be a better phone.
depends what you looking for..
For me camera and big storage is first thing in my mind, loved satio 12mpx, and wanted android with 12mpx (arc previously)...
Also big screen is one of the required stuff...but i really want aluminium body...
So in the end i say for me that xperia s is better phone

thats a no? but im going to ask sony anyways it is kinda funny that the burn in is not really staying long. When not using my phone (switched off) for a day my burn in is almost gone. But when i use it 1 hour or so i see the time, battery and icons burn in
As for me. I am not saying that I'm right, but this is my opinion regarding on this matter. I work in a TFT-LCD company in taiwan for 3yrs and I assigned in burn-in processes which is you will keep the LCD panel to the machine with a temp of 50-60 degrees celsius. on this kinda heat all the LCD even the 32"-40" or bigger will notice a burn Cristal Liquid. as what we are discussing for.
but it will gone in a min. if the panel will become cold. I ask this before to the Higher class that this is because of the metal plate that produce to much heat.
because when a metal put to a 30deg. it is shurely get 5% more degrees. i don't know exactly the explanation but this is what they told me.
So, This phone we have has a CPU on the top near to the camera. and it coming heat, when using in games or heavy use. and the LCD has a metal plate on side to protect it. when heat process it flow on that metal and you will see that result.
In my work before, I also notice that more than 24HR of burning process in LCD will affect that Burn Cristal liquid. and you will see that it will not remove for long life...
hope you understand it. or disregard it if you are not interested.
Why don't you search before posting?

Hi everyone
I have 2 HTC ones right now
I've heard about how great the low light performance and the audio quality is supposed to be on this phone and with my first one I wasn't impressed so I figured it was just over hyped
got a second one in the mail and this one is VASTLY superior in both regards
The first one has a ton of grain in low light shots
and fairly low volume speakers
the 2nd is significantly better for camera and much louder speakers
do you think this is something HTC would view as a defect even though both work technically?
is there anything at all I can do to remedy either?
I can't really demonstrate the sound but here's a picture taken with each camera
I set it to iso 1600 for both
no other adjustments
it seems like it's letting in way too much light but I lowering the exposure doesn't help

I would easily be able to say I'm just going to sell the one that doesn't work as well.............but here's the kicker. It seems to get better battery life and it runs smoother with no hiccups despite it always benching slightly less
I don't know if it matters but both are stock running 4.3. One from Rogers(bad camera/sound) One from Telus(good camera/sound but slightly worse performance)
Yea I totally agree..HTC needs to improve their quality control...HTC promised the problem was software related yet when I updated my dads HTC one, to 4.3, it still has the problem..definitely a bad sensor..and since its impossible to open the phone, its also impossible to swap out the camera module..I'm gonna try to talk with HTC again or will be forced to sell..

I bought an HTC One for my wife and I (64gb variants, both second hand from different sources), and both cameras on them are very, VERY blurry. On my wife's phone, you can slap the back of the phone, and the camera will suddenly focus for a few minutes, then go back to being totally blurry. On my phone, its ALWAYS blurry, no matter what. This has been a point of contention for many folks on the web (Google it!), and no matter how much you clean the lens, use touch-to-focus, or different apps, it all comes out to the same thing.
Further, I get the blue "graininess" exhibited by the previous poster in my low-light conditions. HTC needs to step up to the plate, and fix this problem on their "flagship" phone!
And for Bob: The first digits in my device's serial number are: HT349w9
dang. i saw a guy with a serial number ht34 and his camera was perfect. was hoping it was a batch thing, but i guess not.

Who in their right mind would buy a phone over about 5.5 in, any bigger and you look like a twat with it to tour ear
You know, I'd love the bigger screen, and those specs make it rival the Z Ultra. It's appearance also seems nice, though I've never heard of Hisense, so I have no clue about their build quality.
But... It's coming out in the Summer with those specs. What would roughly be a full year after the Z Ultra. By that point I'm hoping we either have or are hearing about (Depending on if we have a new chipset out that makes it worth the upgrade) a Z Ultra Refresh. Plus, the bezels on that thing look worse than the Z Ultra's- If people are complaining about those bezels now, this won't be drawing any support.
All that, and we haven't been told how big the screen is, which is arguably the sole draw of the Z Ultra.
Basically, unless it's hella cheap or is basically a nerd phone's dream (Something like 64GB internal storage AND an micro SD card slot) with a couple of other bells and whistles, I don't see this being a competition for the Z Ultra when it gets released.
Looked quite nice until I saw some of the images showing quite a gap between the plastic top (looks like aluminium) and the glass.
Then continuing to view the other images it looks like an old phone. Not that its worn, but that its dated. Like it should have been released last year.
Im still banking on the Z2 Ultra. Hoping it will have the issues ironed out. Namely the build, and components improved.
DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
Hisense is just one of dump Chinese phone producers in China. Their phones have bad quality and services. The phone comes with Android 4.2, maybe you won't get update to 4.4 for rest of your life. Since the user group is small, there is rarely custom roms and do not even think of CM.
Who? Those that want screens bigger than 5.5 and are secure enough not to give a f**k what other people think when talking on them.

Wasn't aware of that if it's truly the Hisense product history.
The device will be released by Sliver in the US and with 4.4 according to reps at CES.
Hardest thing would be leaving this hardware...which is the classiest thing in the industry.
And I agree...banking on the Ultra2 can't be a bad strategy. Wonder about overall sales tho, given the small niche this size device serves, and if it'd prompt Sony to even release an Ultra2.

I really don't mind big phones that's why I bought the ultra. but if this phone do not offers nothing better then the ultra but a bigger screen.... no I don't think so. but if it offers good specs then i'll see.

The Z4 Ultra will reportedly be adorned with a 5.9-inch Triluminos display. It will also carry the Snapdragon 805 chipset and 4GB of RAM , the camera will be 16MP with dual LED flash. It is expected to measure a significantly thin 5.7mm.
http://www.arabianbusiness.com/leaked-sony-xperia-z4-z4-ultra-specs-573033.html
i hope they don't make the screen smaller than 6.4
waiting for the fantastic z4 ultra
if the z4 ultra picture it this i will full in love with it
Quite confident that image is inauthentic. I don't think Sony will suddenly go from the biggest bezels in the industry (aside from iPhone and HTC) to having a higher screen to body ratio than any other phone in existence, particularly since they didn't even lessen the bezels on the behemoth Z Ultra.
I'm sorry but that looks fake as. Looks like some keen fan's concept sketch.
It was 100% fake
That was just a mockup by other ppl & it won't be 5.9" & not to be so thin.
I agree. And I don't think they reduce the number of icons on the homescreens from 6 to 4, that doesn't make sense. Complete fake.
Although fake it looks awesome, imagine the Z4 Ultra actually having bezels so thin.
Early next month we'll get the full information and specification for the Z4 & Z4 Ultra anyway.
Be patient guys. :laugh:
As much as I'd LOVE to see the Z4 Ultra look that awesome, I don't see it happening either. Plus, the rumors I've heard are that the screen is supposed to be 6.2" 2K display with a S810 SOC with 4gb of RAM. This is the first time I've heard anything about a 5.9" with a S805. I'll be VERY disappointed if those specs are true.

this is so fake
sony with thin bezels? I don't think so
if it was real it would be too small anyway. would feel like a downgrade to me
hahaha just we need to dream i will call sony to make my ultra 4 like that
Sony would never make the logo to be so small so that's definitely fake. According to various sources it all points to 6.4 inch instead of 5.9

Came across this today, interesting to say the least. Sony better not make the display smaller... I'd love a 6'5"/7" screen with way smaller bezels. I fear they're gonna go with a 6" model instead and make the bezels lame again.
