Sony announces Xperia SP and Xperia L

If Sony Xperia Z or ZL is too expensive for your consideration, why not take a look on the brand new mid range android Sony just announced?


Sony Xperia SP Key Specification :


  • 4.6-inch with 720 x 1280 pixel
  • 1.7GHz dual-core processor MSM8960T Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset
  • Adreno 320
  • 1GB RAM
  • 8GB internal memory with microSD slot
  • 8MP Exmor RS camera sensor with 1080p HDR video recording
  • VGA front facing camera
  • NFC
  • PlayStation Certified
  • 2370mAh
  • Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
  • Black, Red and White Silver


Sony has confirmed that this “transparent element” has “customisable illuminations which you can personalise to alert you of incoming calls and text messages. And you can even set the illuminations to pulse to the beat of your favourite music.


Sony Xperia L Key Specification :


  • 4.3-inch FWVGA with 480 x 854 pixel
  • 1GHz dual-core processor MSM8230 Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset
  • Adreno 320
  • 1GB RAM
  • 8GB internal memory with microSD slot
  • 8MP Exmor RS camera sensor with 720p video recording
  • VGA front facing camera
  • NFC
  • PlayStation Certified
  • 1750mAh
  • Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean

Xperia L has the notification light at the bottom instead of transparent bar like it's sibling, Xperia SP.

Pricing for both SP and L is about $545 (Converted RM1635) and $387 (Converted RM1161) respectively in Europe.

My Opinion : Well, early Q1 of 2013 we are flooded with a lot flagship phone. It is good Sony willing to release some mid range for consumers had a better choice. Nothing to shout on the spec but probably the only improvement I see is the EXMOR RS sensor compare to the last year product (Xperia V/T/TX). Shame that Xperia SP wasn't pack with 1080p display.
