sturdy and very well built phone, such a quality could still be found only in high end premuim phones nowadays. this phone was neglected by sony, promised android 4.4 but never received it. the wifi signal strength was very weak. this phone also suffered from a very slow low quality emmc storage, it was very slow no matter what you did to it.

    the LED concept was sooo awesome on phones

        This was my second mobile phone after BB Torch. I bought it about Rp. 4.100.000,- (+/- 251$) in 2013. The price worth the performance, and I used it for 8 years.
        Sadly Sony didn't sell well here and they choose to leave the Indonesian market. It's hard to find and niche for Android fans who seek for performance and elegance design.

          - this is my very first smartphone, bought it on 2013. It was a second hand phone but it was worth it that time. It has Snapdragon chipset. And now, I'm back with a snapdragon chipset, once more with S24 Ultra. It's been a while though.

            I have the 3G model which sold in retail stores in Vietnam. With lineageos 17.1 installed it's much more usuable than what I anticipated, although it's so slow. All the essential daily apps work, with most of them are lite versions. Original battery so it's bad, only 2 to 3 hours screentime. You can't expect much from a phone which is 10 years old at the time this comment was written.

Believe that has fstrimm built in, so keeps eMMC storage (sort of ssd) optimized. Otherwise gets laggy indeed. Almost sure this machiene can bennefit from it.

                                My SP is still going strong and is now running lineage OS 15 it's a great little phone with it's disco lights.

                                    I bought this Sony Xperia SP in August 2014. It had a hardware (I think screen) issue so it was replaced a few days later. New one was also laggy. The UI looked great but I wouldn't buy another Sony again.

                                      Anonymous, 10 Sep 2020Read a lot of -ve comm, did they really use the ph it'... more"perhaps" they either dont have it or bought a refurbished one... i saw one refurbished in person... the digitizer is unreliable, sometimes it is unresponsive, other times it is sensitive... camera modules have tiny aperture compared to the original part... the frame repainted... even the software is "somehow" tampered as the service menu is different from the original, however, the owner claimed that it is acknowledged by pc companion... so, the mainboard might still be intact...
                                      my xperia miro is even well built to that particular phone of my frame... my miro has bigger apperture and produces better picture (knowing that for todays standard, it is crappy, so what more with the refurbished xperia sp)...
                                      that is why i am hesitant to buy refurbished one... i would rather buy a second hand phone from a friend... but, that too, is not advisable... at least, buy a two year old phone (with its last software update) as long as you are okay with phones without phone (only xperia 1 ii is updatable among my 26 phones)

                                        Typical example of why Sony couldn't survive in mobile market ! They tried their best to make highly complelecated hardware in this model !
