    Why does my Sony Xperia Go screen go black when making calls?
    dane
    about 2 years ago
    The Xperia Go has a proximity sensor that automatically turns off the screen when you put it close to your ear. This is to prevent any unintentional activation of functions during a call.

Because of that, they are predominantly niche products, which, in most cases, are hard to look at, but can stand the forces of nature in a way that other handsets can't.
