Customer Reviews
The 8 megapixel camera is excellent (3D panorama mode ftw!) and the whole design is stunning.
Downloaded a ton of apps and games on this phone and although there is some lag, it's rare. 16GB storage is actually 11GB but that's well enough for me.
PROS:
-Sexy design :)
-Good camera
-Nice easy-to-hold 4" screen
-100% Brightness is REALLY bright!
-Good call quality
-Fast charger; around 2 hour charge for 100%
-Battery is OK but it has been improved by recent updates (I can now use my phone for the whole day and charge it overnight)
-Now upgradable to Jelly Bean 4.1
CONS:
-Front camera is VGA but at least there is one
-Transparent strip can only light up in white and it doesn't look as good or bright as Xperia S\U's
-Aluminium can chip off so it'd be a good idea to buy a case/cover
-Bottom part is made out of plastic but you can't really tell unless you touch it
CONCLUSION:
Although it's not the best smartphone out in the market right now in terms of specs, it's definitely worth the price it is now. All in all, I recommend this phone if you want an all around good value mid-ranged smartphone. If you'd rather get the latest smartphone with quadcore and a massive screen, then let me say this: ignore this beauty.
The item came as stated by Amazon, within two working days. I have several smartphones, simply because get bored & like to swap around.
I was using my Galaxy Nexus until the xperia P arrived, so I will base my findings against the nexus.
Statement I am over the moon with the xperia P device. I saw the good reviews but had not even seen the phone for real until it arrived.
To start the phone has very clean lines & a nice feel with the metal design. The phone uses a micro sim, inserted left side of the phone, gold contact down & removed corner first. Thought would get that in because instructions not too clear.
Started up the phone & like advertised it was any network & the phone set itself up & only needed click install settings & off it went. E-mail, calender sync all perfect, something that has not always gone well with other phones.
The phone is running gingerbread, not ICS & my nexus is running jelly bean but to be honest the gingerbread os has nothing really wrong with it, so very happy with it.
The screen quality blows the nexus out of the water & the 4" screen is a far better size in my eyes than the 4.65 of the nexus. With this the phone is more pocket friendly & does feel & appear a more professional device to use. The call quality is probably the best I have had on a mobile phone ever & I've had mobiles since the mid 90's & I've owned many phones.
I never really thought of call quality until I used this device & realised how well it preformed.
The 8meg camera is a treat to use, & I'm very impressed with how the phone renders web pages. For some reason thought it would not be very quick but when putting it besides the nexus, can't notice any significant difference.... Read more ›
The screen and buttons on the transparent strip are responsive. The camera is rather good. Build quality is great.
Cons: too many Sony bloatware apps pre-installed that you can't remove (eg. Music Unlimited, Video Unlimited, TrackID, etc.). It comes with Android 2.3.7, and although Sony have created an Android 4 update for the Xperia S, I am still waiting for a similar update for the Xperia P. There is no support for SD cards of any size. Finally the battery runs down fairly quickly (it can lose 10% overnight with WiFi, GPS, etc. disabled).
I was aware of most of the cons before I bought the phone, so I'm not disappointed with it.
Overall, recommended.
The 8Mp camera is excellent and seems better than that on my previous Xperia Neo. Calls are clear and the dialler has been improved over the Neo. Be aware it uses a micro SIM card.
It currently runs Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread though Sony have promised an upgrade to Android 4.0 ICS, probably in August. I believe Sony's current customisation does use some ICS features. Unfortunately, there is a lot of bloatware taking up memory space which you can't easily get rid of. There is 11.2 Gb of internal storage plus about 1.5 Gb of phone memory. There's no way for expanding memory by a microSD card.
The Xperia P is quite responsive to use but things like live wallpapers can cause a slight lag (and drain the battery!).
Box contents are basic but there is a micro HDMI cable for connection to an HD TV. The phone has an NFC chip but there are no Smart Tags incuded. I bought a pack and have found them useful for quickly changing the profile of the phone. Sony NT1 Smart Tag Kit with 4 Xperia NFC Smart Tags for Android
Battery life is about 1-2 days on normal use but spend time playing games, surfing the Net, watching videos etc. and it drains quite quickly. Like most smartphones, the battery never has enough capacity.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my Xperia P- 5 stars.
Nice size, fits in a pocket. Not one of the huge slabs.
Reasonable battery life.
Good music quality with standard Walkman app. Read more
