Left it outside in -30 weather over night when changing my tire. Found it 12 hours later, warmed it up and let it sweat, still works just fine

      I bought it at 2013 and I upgraded it to Cyanogenmod Android 5.1.1 (v.7.0 is also available). It works fine, it’s quite responsive and I feel happy because after so many years, I have a fully working, backup phone. Too bad that Sony did not supported it correctly, yet Cyanogenmod created many updates. How many new phones out there have the Nugat option?

        1 Gb RAM is an absolute killer. I bought it 3 years ago, for about £230. For that time it was a good amount. It was quite slow from the beginning. Looking for a new budget phone now. I hope I don't fall into the same mistake. Thinking between Honor 6A 3Gb ram, Huawei P8 lite 2017, and Motorola G5S. If anyone has an opinion about which of these three would be better, I would really appreciate to hear about it.

But, with that SNAPDRAGON S4 PRO equipped with 1GB RAM, it definitely struggles since apps are always updating for the better which means more memory is used for smooth experience, this will make the XPERIA SP lag a lot. Back in the days the SNAPDRAGON S4 PRO was a powerful processor, now, it struggles to keep up on simple tasks like going to the settings, scrolling through apps slowly. Well in comparison with my Z and X series smartphones, the performance difference is big

                Worst phone ever!

                I have never had such a terrible device in my life. It has been slow from the very beginning. Sometimes trying to bring up the keyboard takes a good 20 seconds.

                It's just a terrible device. Being replaced by a Samsung Galaxy S8 this week (waiting on it to arrive).

                Finally!

                  this phone was a beast in its time, but very bad software support and 1 gb of ram ruined it....at that time, adreno 320 and a 720p display really kicked every game out...

There are a lot of tweaks u can do with it like the status bar etc. They also got a Software Update section too for the newer versions, just like Sony's very own one, but they used theirs because of their ROM. But, there are also cons of it. Some apps from Sony are replaced by CyanogenMod's one so it would feel a bit weird. And for the XPERIA SP users like me previously used this phone changed to XPERIA XZ a few months ago, u should know there is the big but beautiful illumination bar below the phone to illuminate light from their album, music, notifications, and charging. But if u download any custom ROM, the bar will not light up at all, not only this ROM does it

                                      @kumanovec yes Sony Xperia Sp Supports OTG.

                                      I have tested myself on my device.
