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.
