About the Xperia™neo
Feature
On your TV. With HDMI
Showtime. On a big screen. Connect your Xperia™ neo to your HD TV using the built-in HDMI connector. Use your TV's remote to browse photos and videos. Or browse the web and check out the flavour of the day on YouTube. And if gaming's your passion, download what's hot from the games charts. All on your TV.
(TV must be CEC compatible. Remote function only works for videos and photos, not for games or web browsing.)

Dusk, dawn or just a crummy old light bulb? Sony's Exmor R™ for mobile CMOS sensor lets you capture high-quality, bright pictures and videos in poor light conditions
