Is 2020 august when I am writing here. I bought this Sony Xperia SP in august 2013. I bought two other phones in this time, but now I am writing this comment from Sony Xperia SP.
    I have dropped it three times In water (wc) and only last time he had to be repaired a little. It's battery is super, I like it a lot, compared with other models that I have used. It's screen has noone scratch, indiferent I dropped it many many times!!! It's problem now is its only 5gb of memory available only 1 GB of RAM and VGA from front camera (main camera is acceptable, even is not the best) Sony, I want you to impress me with another phone in the same way.........

      One of the worst touch screen phone's ever released by sony constantly crashing, rebooting all the time, if it freeze's there isn't a functioning power cycle button press so you have to wait till the battery dies. The SD card slot isn't stable so that can also lead the device to once again freeze, along with applications like chrome and Youtube they can make the keyboard not appear making it run slower after 2 minute's of use it's a great 7 year old device for general use like playing music and such but due to software and hardware malfunctions with a old software version that can lead to the device getting hacked do not purchase it will give you a one hell of a stressful ride.

                  Had it for 6 days. No longer boots up. When I turn it on it shows the Sony logo then turns off. When I connect to the PC or charge it keeps switching to flash mode then back to the Sony (with a red light), just keeps going on until I plug it out. Any help? Planning on a refund.

                        AnonD-819322, 27 May 2019How long would this phone last with continuous web browsing... moreIve had this phone, on android 4.1 it has had a longer battery life than on 4.3 , but on 4.1 there was a short wifi range problem.

                        On a good battery, it should last no more than 6 hours of continuous use ( google facebook ect... )
                        On games it would last about 2.5 to 3 hours

                        It was a very slow and laggy phone, i hated it very much. Back at it's time, the only good options from sony were the xperia z and xperia zr , but these 2 will lag too when running upated apps

                              How long would this phone last with continuous web browsing? Some say over 7 hours, GSMArena say 6 hours 18 mins.

                                      Using this for more than 4 years. Dropped a couple of time. Still working fine. Battery time is the default issue with Xperia SP but manageable.
                                      A bit heavy-hearted coz i'm gonna replace it with Samsung A+ Plus. Planning to keep it as a secondary phone.

                                        My Xperia SP C5303 is also 4 years old and still going well, although getting rather slow when I'm browsing the web. I always use a skin, so dropping it doesn't do any damage. I can't understand why many people crack their screens by dropping the phones -- so easy to solve this costly problem with a skin. I also use a belt pouch -- so I don't drop it in the loo from your pants pocket (dumb!!). It has frozen on me once; had to get it unfrozen and then reload the apps. Every now and then I have to get rid of some apps to speed it up. Thinking of upgrading to Sony XZ , Moto G6 Plus, or Nokia 6.1- - but will keep this going until it dies.
