I am in love with this phone. I decided it was time to upgrade from my old Vivaz when it started acting up. The moment it arrived at my doorstep and I opened the box I loved it. I love it's design and how it fits in my pocket. The apps run good, and the I love how my music sounds on it.

Quality of the speaker; and how smoothly it works

The Sony Xperia Tipo is Sony's latest Android phone that has a small price to match its dinky dimensions. However, unlike a lot of other budget handsets we've seen lately, it doesn't rely on the older 2.3 version of Android, but instead comes loaded with the relatively recent Ice Cream Sandwich...

Long battery life; Runs Ice Cream Sandwich; Dinky dimensions

Price is relatively high for the specification; Tiny and low resolution screen; Slightly iffy call quality

I have a xperia tipo whose touchscreen became faulty. I bought it on 21st september and gave it to the service center on 8th october nd never got the phone back till now(6th Nov). Whenever I ask them they say that the faulty part has to be replaced and it has not arrived yet.

Good loudspeaker; Good battery; Great for playing games

Extremely unresponsive touchscreen; Below average camera quality; Poor service from Sony

The 3.2" LCD screen has pixel dimensions of 320x480. The display is reasonably bright, and the sharpness is good too. On the flip side, the panel's viewing angles and sunlight legibility don't quite make the mark. The phone is powered by a modest 800 MHz CPU, and it has 512 MB of RAM.

Great Design; Smooth UI; Dual SIM functionality; Good battery performance

Mediocre camera; Lacklustre video playback

If you're looking for a decent then this is the smartphone to go for. It definitely has an edge over Samsung Galaxy Y, LG Optimus Me, LG Optimus L3 and HTC Explorer, which run on the dated Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. Not to forget that it has a good battery life and a great music playback.

Good, A sub Rs; 10,000 Android smartphone, Good music playback especially from the loudspeaker

Bad; Underwhelming camera

Sony has gone for a much less square look with the Sony Xperia tipo when compared to the recent NXT range and its models such as the Sony Xperia S. All corners are rounded off nicely, as is the rear cover, giving it a pebble-like shape similar to the HTC Desire C.

The Sony Xperia tipo is Sony's new baby Android phone, with low price but limited specifications.
