Anunciado en marzo, el Sony Xperia SP es un competidor bastante bueno para el teléfono de gama media con soporte LTE. Sony acaba de anunciar que estará disponible en Filipinas este mayo a un precio de venta sugerido de Php19,990.

Lleno de un Snapdragon Pro 1.7GHz, el Xperia SP es un smartphone Jellybean de 4.6 pulgadas que se supone reemplazará al antiguo Xperia S de hace un año (vea nuestra reseña del Xperia S en marzo de 2012).

Especificaciones del Sony Xperia SP
Pantalla HD de 4.6 pulgadas @ 720 x 1280, 319ppi
Motor Sony Bravia Mobile Engine 2, resistente a rayones
Procesador dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon Pro 1.7GHz
GPU Adreno 320
1GB RAM
Almacenamiento interno de 8GB
hasta 32GB mediante tarjeta microSD
HSPA+ & LTE 100 Mbps
NFC
Bluetooth Bluetooth 4.0 con A2DP
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, de doble banda, WiFi Direct, DLNA
Cámara trasera de 8MP, flash LED
Grabación de video en 1080p @ 30fps
Cámara frontal VGA
GPS con soporte AGPS, GLONASS
Android Jellybean 4.1 Android
Batería Li-Po de 2370 mAh
Dimensiones: 130.6 x 67.1 x 10 mm
Peso: 155 g

Este es uno de los muy pocos, si no el único, teléfono que lucirá el chip Qualcomm Snapdragon Pro. Tampoco estamos seguros de si el LTE será compatible con las operadoras locales. Sony ha anunciado que el precio de venta sugerido está fijado en Php19,990.

Any news about the Xperia L?

S3?? Ehh screen lng mganda dun, compare mo battery nito sa S3 pati yung chipset n ginamit, and of course the beautiful design at ang maangas na notif. Led light. After ilng months bagsak na presyo nito!!

e panu naman kaya sa major update like 5.0? s3 has a better chance of getting it since its a flaghip phone…..for sp? hmm not quite sure since its in mid range category….just my opinion but lets hope for the best!!

The xperia sp is a great phone guys, do a bit more research. just because its has a dualcore processor doesnt mean its inferior to the s3 with a quadcore processor. in fact this phone might be even faster than the s3. Remember that more cores doesnt always equate to faster phones. The sony comes equipped with a more up to date s4 krait pro chipset, clocked at 1.7ghz and a more capable adreno 320 graphics chip. from what ive read, the phone can reach up to 16k in antutu and 7.8k in quadrant.

Going head to head with S3 at this price point will be a challenge for SP. Let’s see how will this fare.

If compared to S3 lte, how does it fair?

Built wise, i think this is better. But of course, specs are a different story.

THanks!

sony is so notorious for putting out phones with mediocre specs for outrageous prices; dual core for almost 20k?

Roby · 13 years ago

Maybe, but the Sony Xperia SP sells for Php16,990 @ Widget City. Plus of course a lot of people will like that special LED notification feature.

Zarne · 13 years ago

Although I agree that the phone is pricey for 20K , the phone appears to have the ‘built quality’, that Sony is famous for. It’s not all about cores, ram, and benchmark results. The IPhone 5 has dual cores, why is it that it is still selling million units? I am not a fanboy of Sony or Apple but for 20K , I will look for other options like the Nexus 4 or Z10. I noticed that phone prices in the Phil. are higher compared to other foreign markets like US or Canada.

This will support Globe and Smart’s LTE networks (2100 Mhz). However, I don’t really recommend this. You can get the Galaxy S III LTE for 18k at Kimstore and Widget City.

Roby · 13 years ago

You may recommend but please don’t assume everyone is on the Samsung bandwagon. A lot of other people will pay a little extra for better styling and feel of difference.
