Sony Xperia P Review

Assuming the update to Android 4.0 comes through for everyone with the P (some users have gotten it already), it could be a good option for those looking for a smaller handset.
Pros:
  • Super bright WhiteMagic screen
  • Compact size is a plus
  • Voice calls sound good
  • Sleek Sony design
Cons:
  • Button layout uncomfortable
  • Android 4.0 update still pending
  • No microSD
  • Crappy front camera

Sony Xperia P

The Sony Xperia P rolls out in the middle of Sony's line of NXT handsets following the separation from Ericsson. It is mid-range both in terms of specs and size, but falls into an extremely competitive market.
Pros:
  • Unibody feels solid
  • plenty of power under the hood
  • good camera performance
Cons:
  • Poor battery performance
  • display doesn't look natural
  • some UI quirks make this phone feel a little dated

Sony Xperia P review

The Xperia P is the mid-range entry in Sony's Xperia NXT series of smartphones announced at MWC earlier this year. It sits below the Xperia S and above the entry-level Xperia U. Sony's strategy with this trio of handsets invites comparisons to HTC's One Series: both aim to address the low-, mid-,...
Pros:
  • Rock-solid build
  • WhiteMagic display is a revelation
  • High-quality camera
Cons:
  • Outdated Android 2.3 OS
  • Too much unwanted software
  • So-so gaming performance

Sony Xperia P review: Sony Xperia P

The Xperia P is a solid Sony smartphone, but with the Xperia S costing only AU$50 more, we'd suggest that you think about spending the extra money. Every family has the golden child. The one who gets the good looks and the secret favour of their parents as a result. The Xperia P is that child in the 2012 Xperia family, and although it's positioned as being a more affordable option than the flagship Xperia S, it has the looks to be an eye catcher in its own right.
Pros:
  • Sharp, aluminium design. Good, 4-inch display. Sony's NXT UI is slick and intuitive as any on the Android platform.
Cons:
  • Below-average battery life. Non-expandable memory. Non-replaceable battery. Xperia S is only AU$50 more expensive.

  • Sharp
  • aluminium design
  • Good
  • 4-inch display
  • Sony's NXT UI is slick and intuitive as any on the Android platform
Cons:
  • Below-average battery life

  • Non-replaceable battery
