Sony Xperia SP Pros & Cons Review

Picture of the Sony Xperia SP, by Sony

When it comes to HD entertainment, this Android smartphone seems to have the goods! It features a scratch-resistant HD display, an advanced 8-megapixel camera, a full HD video recorder, and various ways to connect the phone to HDTVs. However, we were stunned when we realized that for some reason, Sony included only a VGA front-facing camera. Really? In such an otherwise well-equipped phone? What an odd choice.

On-paper Review score:

Pros:

Acceptable SAR (radiation) rating:

There are phones with a lower radiation rating, but 0.63 w/kg is quite acceptable, on a scale of 0 to 1.60...

4.7-inch screen is larger than usual:

It features a rather large, 4.7-inch display, with a 1280 x 720 resolution.

8-megapixel camera:

Superior photo resolution - 8-megapixel - with these features: 16x digital zoom, Auto focus, Face detection, Fast capture, Flash/Pulsed LED, Flash/Photo light, Geo-tagging, HDR for pictures, Image stabilizer, Red-eye reduction, Scene recognition, Self-timer, Send to web, Smile shutter, Sony Exmor RS for mobile image sensor, Sweep Panorama, Touch focus.

Other notable features:

It has the following special features: Accelerometer, ECompass, NFC, Proximity Sensor, Wi-Fi Direct

Cons:

Where is the HDMI port?:

The Xperia SP can record fancy (1920 x 1080 pixels) videos. Great! But we couldn't confirm whether it had an HDMI port or not. HDMI, which lets you connect to an HDTV, is not essential, but would be great on an HD phone.

Unknown weight:

It's frustrating that we were not able to find information about its weight.

** This phone is also known as: Sony C5302, Sony C5303
