Sony Xperia SP Review

Sony Xperia SP is an amazing cellphone launched back in the year 2013, coming with a Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1.7 gigahertz, a 4.6 inches touch-screen, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera.

Sony decided to equip this cellphone using a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro MSM8960T system chip, backed up by a high performance Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1700 MHz with only 1 GB of RAM which is a little bit low for a phone this powerful. To help with graphic calculations, it also counts with an Adreno 320 GPU speeding at 400 megahertz. The Sony Xperia SP has an 8 GB quite big internal memory and a slot for external memory cards, allowing you to store a couple hundred games and apps without running out of space.

Sony appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 5.47 oz phone. This phone is extremely slim and good-looking, being just 0.39" thick. The Sony Xperia SP is quite a compact phone, taking into consideration it presents a 4.6 inches display and it is only 5.14 inches long and 2.64 inches wide. The Sony Xperia SP is offerred in three colors, black, red and white.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. It is also able to capture videos in Full HD 1920x1080. Additionally, the camera features lots of amazing characteristics: auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.

Sony designed this cellphone with an amazing 4.6 inches screen, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes all images and videos look beautiful and brightful. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

The Sony Xperia SP provides WiFi connection (and it can be shared with other devices acting as a router), LTE 4G high performance data connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a lower speed 4G technology and 3G fast data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This cellphone also features some useful characteristics as NFC, Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone uses a 2370 mAh big capacity non-removable battery that can keep it running for several hours, but you may need to charge it after some heavy use. Sony reports a stand by time of 697 hs and a talk time of 10.7 hours for this device. An issue to take into consideration is that the Sony Xperia SP's battery is non-removable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to live shorter, whereas with such a huge battery size you will probably discard this phone before that happens.

This cellphone is really overpriced considering it is offerred for 185 dollars, and many similar cellphones are offerred way cheaper than that. No matter whether you will use it for work, you love taking photographs, want this cellphone mainly for social networks and internet browsing or need a phone to play lots of games, this phone is definitely the correct option for you.
