Well Neo v has a slightly better battery life and resolution,a front facing camera
While Galaxy W has a better processor and more inbuilt storage
Both come with Android 2.3
I suggest Neo v

You want Android. SO dont take the Omnia W, which is a WP 7.5 phone.

Windows Phone has same limitations as iOS- No memory card slot, Bluetooth only for head set.

So, if you can shell the extra bucks for the Neo V, get it :wink:

Oops I misread Galaxy W as Omnia W. My bad.

The Neo V would be a better choice. AFAIK it is supposed to receive official Ice Cream Sandwitch from SE(read in GSM arena)

Interesting
But GSM Arena has other thoughts.

We've had enough time to form impressions of these inexpensive smartphones. They're classic midrange packages with solid feature sets but the goal is clearly to stay within budget rather than impress anyone with specs.

For a few bills more, users are getting better performance (especially in games) and a better camera (both stills and video) out of the Samsung Galaxy W I8150. But they'll have to install a custom ROM if they want Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (Cyanogen Group is working on one).

Of course, the Samsung Galaxy W is not for geeks only, but they're usually the ones who care about benchmark scores and are keen on zooming into photos to look for artifacts.

Buying the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V will save you some cash and you'll be getting a hassle-free upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich and a simple way to view photos and videos on an HDTV. It has the better screen and a faster web browser too.

The average user will be fine either way, knowing they got a good enough phone for a reasonable price. The Xperia Neo V is better than the Galaxy W on a couple of counts. It seems to be the one with more bang for your buck. Alternatively, the Samsung Galaxy W is the power player and also has the looks to go with it. We just don't think squeezing every drop of performance is make or break in this price range

wait for Sony Xperia U if you are ok with limited space. 3.5" & 3.7" won't make a huge difference but Xperia U should get Jelly Beans update which Neo V will miss for sure.

Neo V + points | Galaxy W + points | Comments
1Ghz CPU|1.4GHZ|Better CPU
480*854 @ 265ppi|480*800 @ 252ppi|Marginally better display in Neo V|
Scratch resistant glass + Bravia engine| N/A| Neo V wins|
1GB internal memory (320 user avlbl)|3.7GB| Galaxy owns|
USB on the go| N/A| Neo V wins, Huge plus for those who require|
Inferior battery comparatively|Better battery| Galaxy W wins|
Planned upgrade to ICS|N/A|Neo V wins|

Now, bluetooth 2.1 vs 3.0 doesn't matters much, at least to me. Also that HSPDA 7.2mbps vs 14.4 mbps is useless for us. We're barely able to get even 10% of it. Also, I feel Galaxy W has marginally better cam, at least in color reproduction. But bravia should fill the gap IMO.

Bottomline, set your priorities, and settle. But why don't you wait for Sola? It"ll be worth IMHO. Till then save the extra cash required for it :))

Haven't checked 1080p videos.
Will reply after checking that soon.
Right now Neo V is the best option you have got.
