Sony Xperia Tipo Review

(ST21a)     See other variants reviews Score: 50.4 / 100

Sony Xperia Tipo is a decent phone released some years ago, in 2012, which counts with a 3.2 MP back-facing camera, a 3.2 inches touch-screen and a great performance 800 MHz processor.

Sony decided to equip this phone with a great performance 800 MHz processor, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7225A system chip and 512 MB RAM memory. Helping with graphic rendering, it also has an Adreno 200 (enhanced) graphic processing unit clocking at 200 MHz. This phone has a passable 2,5 GB internal memory, which is adequate for most users considering that it also has a slot for external memory cards .

The Sony Xperia Tipo is a little thick for today's standards, being as thick as 0.51 inches. Sony appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 3.51 oz cellphone. Sony sells the Sony Xperia Tipo in multiple color options like black, blue, red and white.

This cellphone only has a 3.2 mega-pixels back-facing camera. The Sony Xperia Tipo also films VGA 640x480 videos. This cellphone also has geo tagging.

Sony designed the Sony Xperia Tipo with a nice 3.2-inches screen, and a resolution of 480 x 320 , providing this cellphone with a nice graphical experience. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

The Sony Xperia Tipo counts with a 1500 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion battery, which is not really enough for a thirsty phone like this. Sony reports a talk time of 5 hs and a stand by time of 470 hours for this device.

This cellphone features Wi-Fi connection (which can be provided to other devices acting as a router) and fast 3G connection type, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM services.

This cellphone also features a few cool features as Bluetooth (enables communication with other cellphones and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and a couple sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

Sony offers this phone for $ 250, which is not a good offer for comparing with similar cellphones. If you buy this phone you will also receive and user documentation., Charger, micro USB cable for charging and synchronisation and file transfer.
