Sony Xperia SP review: SPlendid

30 April 2013
It took some time but Sony had the big comeback many have been waiting for. The Xperia Z is selling well and we suspect it’s been the driver for turning the company's fortunes around in the first quarter of the year. It's now time to carry that momentum...

        I found there is a little gap - Silver line; might be the light from inside in between the touch digitiser and the screen . This is more vissible if you keep the handset in active state horizontally 2 inch below to your eye level and slowly sland the handset upwards or keep 2 inch above from the eye level and slowly sland downwards.
        Note that this gap is vissible in the power button side so keep the handset with power button on the opposite side of eye. Is is vissible for all the handset or I got a faulty hand set? I found this in some of Xperia U also, but not in all.

                                  I just bought xperia sp and fell in love with it but there is a problem, I need a scientific calc but even the main fullscreen calc runs the basic version with +-*/= operands, can you please tell me how to switch to the scietific calc as you have mentioed it in your review that this phone has a scientific calc...

                                  Anxiously waiting for your reply/help!

                                      Is xperia SP or Xperia V better?

                                      Why i think SP is better:
                                      1.7Ghz over 1.5Ghz dual core
                                      Cool LED strip at bottom.
                                      Already comes with JB
                                      More user acessible memory
                                      Higher battery capacity

                                      Why V is better:
                                      Higer definition(342 over 319ppi)
                                      Removable battery
                                      Lighter weight at 120g
                                      Water and dust resistent.
                                      13MP over 8MP camera.

                                      So can anyone suggest which is better?

                                        Great crappy camera, my 2007 samsung 5mp phone makes MUCH MUCH more clear shots.
