heavier and thicker than its brother Xperia Z, for example, new mid-range
smartphone of Sony is 9.98mm thick and 155 gram weigh. However, different from
toughened glass in back as Xperia Z, smartphone Xperia SP owns luxurious
aluminum shell.

shell is made from aluminum that looks like high-level product while it is only
a mid-range device.

pixel (pixel density 319 ppi) with technology of Bravia Mobile Engine 2.

attractive.

side of Xperia SP is designed with 3 kinds of physical buttons consisting of
camera button, round power button the same as on Xperia Z, and volume ones
respectively from left to right. They all create feelings when pushing,
especially power button is easy to push and has indent.

side of Xperia SP is empty, Sony has moved microUSB port to left side; meanwhile,
SIM slot is also arranged right under microUSB port.
Headphone
jack 3.5 is on the top.
The especial highlight on Xperia SP is that
it is designed lines of LEDs changing color in the bottom and on both sides.
When listening to music or having a phone, these lines will flash to announce.
Especially, you can customize the color on black line, for instance, red for
boss’ call, or blue for lover’s call, and so on. It can be said that graphic effects
outside screen looks interesting.
When
playing music, the lines of LED will flash.
For software applications, you can see many
points looking like as Xperia Z on SP. Socialife interface almost do not
change, Sony also do not adjust too much compared to original operation system
Android 4.1.2 of Google. Camera of SP can take picture HDR, but making video
HDR has been omitted. On the other hand, Xperia SP also applies screen technology
as Xperia Sola that allows you to use smartphone with gloves.
Quick interaction on Xperia SP brings totally
smooth feelings. This smartphone is no longer lagged as some devices of Xperia
2012. Although screen of SP do not reach resolution Full HD as Xperia Z, the
quality of basic display is pretty good. The only thing that Sony has not
improved yet is narrow viewing on Xperia SP.

American market still has no ideas. The expected price in some European
countries like German or Netherlands is over 520 USD
