I was looking for Handy Branded Android Phone with decent touch and display features at affordable pricing. Tipo is perfect in those aspects but cannot be compared with other phones with slightly higher pricing which offers more value. Sound and call quality is very good.

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

No

The Sony Xperia Tipo is the latest addition to the Xperia smartphone range, and it's undoubtedly the baby of the family. It comes in at around ￡100 (around $160), with an 800MHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 2.5GB of internal storage, a 3.2MP camera and a 3.2-inch 320 x 480 display.

The Sony Xperia Tipo delivers Ice Cream Sandwich to Android lovers on a tight budget. It's not super-fast but for basic tasks it can feel nippy enough -- which is more than you can say for the other ICS 'droid at this price, HTC's Desire C .

Android Ice Cream Sandwich on a budget; MicroSD card slot

Cramped; unresponsive screen; Creaky build quality; Poor camera

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

Sony Xperia S - With a similar look and feel, the Xperia S has a lot more on offer, but for a higher price tag. The Xperia S is at the higher end of the Xperia series, with a larger screen and more resources to offer Sony's entertainment features in their full glory.

1 weeks ago i own it. i had a cheap budget for phone but i was searching for andriod phone.. then i own it.. it full fills my need,, but i am little Disappointed for camera and touch

Price; Size & Its user Friendly

Camera; Touch; screen resulation

Sony is churning out new Xperia phones at a rate of knots – and here's number five for this year, the Xperia Tipo (and the Xperia SL is set to launch next week in Berlin…) So where does the Tipo fit within the range?

Compact, light chassis; Android Ice Cream Sandwich; nice design; excellent battery life

Sufffers from the odd stutter; basic snapper; screen not always responsive

The phone at first seems as a small phone in terms of dimensions....but, don't underestimate the phone based on its size... The Visual Appeal of this phone is Impressive for a phone at this price range .
