This cellphone only features a 5 megapixels back-facing camera. It is capable of shooting HD 1280x720 videos. Additionally, the camera includes a high number of valuable features like flash, digital image stabilization, auto-focus, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

This cellphone packs a medium capacity 1305 mAh battery that provides this phone a poor battery life. According to Sony, this cellphone has an aproximate 6.5 hours talk time and a 520 hours stand by time.

The Sony Xperia advance provides wifi connectivity (which it can share with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast data connection, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM connection.

This phone also comes with a couple of cool features like Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth devices and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and a couple sensors likeProximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
