Sony Xperia SP Review and Specification

A mid range offering that balances performance and presence just as effectively as the brand’s previous arsenal, Sony presents the Xperia SP that packs a punch in a pretty package. The single GSM SIM candybar smartphone works on an Android v4.1 (Jelly Bean) operating system and the 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro Dual Core processor that is supported by the 1 GB RAM ensures that every action is smooth as butter without annoying lags. The device is also a gamer’s delight with Adreno 320 graphics.

The Xperia XP sports a 4.6 inch TFT capacitive touch screen with a high definition resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a color depth of 16 M. The phone also supports intelligent features such as gesture input and screenshot capturing that makes it worthy of the smartphone tag.

Grainy, blurry photos are a thing of the past now with the 8 megapixel primary camera and the 0.3 megapixel front camera that the Sony Xperia SP packs. The LED flash ensures that bad lighting does not affect your photos and the phone is capable of recording full HD 1920 x 1080 videos as well.

Design and Connectivity

The luxuriously designed Xperia SP sports a sturdy Corning gorilla glass that is resistant to all nicks and bangs that you might subject it to and the phone supports multi touch as well and comes with a standard 3.5 mm audio jack.

Connecting to the internet has never been so easy, as Xperia SP has a variety of options like the GPRS, EDGE, 3G, DLNA and Wi-Fi. Share photos and music with friends conveniently via bluetooth and the phone supports tethering through the microUSB port or Wi-Fi hotspot.

Storage and Battery

The Sony Xperia SP allows you enough leeway to store all your files, media and apps with an 8 GB internal storage which can be extended up to 32 GB with a microSD card. The device is driven by a powerful 2370 mAh battery and it has an energy saving mode that optimizes battery power.
