The Sony Xperia SP has a plastic body, which is 10mm thick. The dimension of the body is 130.6 x 67.1 x 10 mm.

Multitouch is also allowed in the phone, up to 10 fingers. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. The Sony Mobile Bravia Engine 2 also used in the phone.

The display of the Xperia SP is little smaller than the other flagship models from other makers. Most of the flagship models today have a display of 5-inch or above.

The 720p resolution is less than the 1080p resolution of the Sony Xperia Z. The images look pretty sharp. The display has nothing to say remarkable. The contrast, viewing angles, and colour reproduction is decent.

The mobile is also featured with Sony’s soft-wares such as Video and music apps. The Sony Xperia Z allows free download of music from Sony Music, and free video streaming from Sony Television, we hope this will also be allowed with the new phone.

The sweep panorama can be seen in the new Sony Xperia tablet Z. The camera allows 1080p video capturing at 30fps with video stabilization.

The phone has a VGA front camera. Just for the user’s sake. It’s the time when many of the phones are having front camera of 1megapixels or more.

After Words

The phone is totally good. The dual-core processor phone aims middle class people, who need a branded smartphone.

The phone is cheap as it costs £299.99 with SIM. Sony wants to go down to ordinary people some they come with a cheap phone. The phone’s specifications are enough to do that. We can say it’s one of the good and cheap branded phones available today.
