Sony Xperia SP and Xperia L - New additions to Xperia range

Sony have unveiled the Sony Xperia SP and the Xperia L. Both are Android smartphones which are more affordable than Sony's flagship Xperia Z.

 

The Sony Xperia SP adopts a very similar design to the Xperia Z. However, it's made from aluminium rather than glass , although sadly, it isn't waterproof like it's bigger brother. 

 

Sony's Xperia SP has a 4.6 inch Mobile Bravia 2 display running at a resolution of 1280*720 pixels. Powering the smartphone is a dual-core 1.7 Ghz Qualcomm processor  , while it has 8GB of on-board memory and a stunning 8 mega-pixel Exmor R HDR camera.

 

We can see Sony's smartphone proving popular because it's a mid-range smartphone with a premium build-quality. We hope to complete our Xperia SP Review before it launches in the 2nd quarter of 2013.

Sony Xperia L

 

 

The Sony Xperia L is an affordable Android Jelly Bean smartphone that comes with a best-in-class 8 mega-pixel Exmor R camera. The camera is capable of shooting HDR videos and snaps which is previously unheard of for smartphones in this price bracket.

 

Sony's smartphone also has a 4.3 inch display (854*480 pixels) and is powered by a 1 Ghz dual-core processor. While it comes pre-loaded with Android Jelly Bean and has 8GB of on-board memory and will land in the 2nd quarter of 2013.

 

We presume the Xperia L will be priced around £150 and if that's the case then we can see it selling in huge numbers. It's the perfect smartphone for those looking to take snaps who arn't interested in spending a fortune on a cutting-edge smartphone.
