18 March 2013
Sony created quite the stir in the Android high end with its Xperia Z flagship - a slick device of elegant design and impressive spec sheet. Today, it's looking to capitalize on that momentum with a new midrange offering in the Xperia SP. Sony's most...

    The same goes for the other pictures, the colours look very shallow and pale!

              MrX, 18 Mar 2013the screen is awfulAgreed.

              I don't care how many PPI this screen has, the colours are simply terrible!

                battery is more than enough for a 4.6 inch smartphone...also design and hardware are very good..one of the best in midrange..

                  Would this be better than the Xperia T?

                          Am I wrong, or this model looks just like LG L9? Especially white color version.

                            Strip's nice to have as an indicator, but I'm fine with having a small indicator of missed calls/messages, not a huge strip.
                            Weird they didn't use thin bezel like Xiaomi, Meizu, HTC, Samsung and many others.
                            Design of the back is nice, but front is terrible.
                            Sad. Another Sony device I won't buy. I'm actively looking for a decent mid-range device, and so far the best choice seems to be Xiaomi M2 32gb variant, or Meizu MX2 32gb, which stands too close to SGS4, so I guess I'll wait for SGS4.

                            Currently using Xiaomi 1S, its amusing.
