Sony Xperia Tipo Dual Review

Dual SIM (ST21i2)     See other variants reviews Score: 50.5 / 100

Sony Xperia Tipo Dual is a decent quality cellphone released some years ago, in 2012, featuring a medium 3.2 inches multi touch capacitive screen, a 3.2 mega-pixels back camera and a fast 800 megahertz CPU. Let's take a closer look at what this cellphone has to offer.

The Sony Xperia Tipo Dual is available in a nice range of color options like black, blue, red and white. Sony appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 3.51 oz device. This cellphone is quite thick for current standards, with a thickness of 0.51 inches.

The Sony Xperia Tipo Dual is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7225A system chip, backed up by a fast processor running at 800 megahertz with 512 MB RAM memory. Graphic calculations generally consume a lot of CPU time, so this phone also also has an Adreno 200 (enhanced) graphic processing unit clocking at 200 MHz to unload the CPU. The Sony Xperia Tipo Dual counts with a 2,5 GB internal memory, a passable quantity that should be enough for the vast majority of users considering it also has a slot for external memory cards .

This cellphone only has a 3.2 megapixels back camera. The Sony Xperia Tipo Dual can also capture videos in VGA 640x480. This camera also features geo tagging.

Sony packed this phone with a good 3.2" display, and a resolution of 480 x 320 , making everything look quite vivid. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This cellphone counts with wifi connectivity (and it can share it with other devices around, acting as a modem) and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Xperia Tipo Dual supports dual sim so it can to work with 2 different phone numbers or carriers in the same cellphone.

This cellphone also features a couple of interesting characteristics such as Bluetooth (2.1, EDR) and GPS Localization, and a few sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This cellphone has a 1500 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours, although you will need to charge it even after moderate usage. Sony reports a talk time of 5 hours and a stand by time of 350 hs for this cellphone.

This phone is being sold for $ 275, which is not cheap for a cellphone this level. If you buy this phone you will also receive synchronisation and file transfer, and user documentation., Charger and micro USB cable for charging.
