Sony Xperia SP Now Available Online For Rs.25,490.

Announced in India earlier this month, the Sony Xperia SP is now up for sale online via Infibeam  at a price of Rs.25,499. Surprisingly  the device is still in a pre-order phase on Flipkart for a price Rs.25,999, and the website expects the device to be released by next week. Flipkart is also offering a 16GB micro-SD card free along with the smartphone, if you pre-order the device before 24 April. 

Talking about the specifications of the Sony Xperia SP, the smartphone comes with a 4.6-inch HD (720p) display which features Sony’s Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 technology and is protected by a Gorilla Glass. The Xperia SP is powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 processor paired with 1GB of RAM and Adreno 320 GPU, which isn’t as impressive as some of the other smartphone available at this price point. 

The Sony Xperia SP runs on Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean with Sony’s Timescape UI on top. The smartphone comes with 8GB of internal storage, which again is a bit disappointing as other devices in this segment offer as high as 64GB (HTC One X+) of internal storage. However, the storage can can be expanded by up to 32GB using a micro-SD card.

Sony is betting big on the 8 megapixel camera on the Xperia SL, which features the Exmor RS sensor and promises stunning image quality. Also, the smartphone gets a transparent strip which lights up in different colors based on music and notifications  just like we’ve seen on previous generation of smartphones from Sony.

Powering the entire package is a 2,370mAh battery and the connectivity options on the Sony Xperia SP include Wi-Fi, Blueooth, NFC and GPS with Glonass. The smartphone will be available in Black and White color options and will hit retail stores in just a week’s time. 

With many better specd now available at this price point, we think that the Sony Xperia SP doesn’t really makes sense, as even the lower priced devices like the HTC One (post the price cut) offer a quad-core CPU. Also, if you have a little more to spend, you can consider the LG Optimus G or the HTC One X+, which are surely miles ahead of the Sony Xperia SP in terms of on-paper specifications.
