Short Review
- The Sony Xperia LT29i Hayabusa features a sleek design with a thickness of 8.6mm and a lightweight build at 127g.
- Its 4.6-inch LED-backlit LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 319 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset, dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU, and Adreno 225 GPU, paired with 1GB of RAM.
- The rear camera boasts a 13 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The battery capacity is 1700mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is basic and lacks modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, NFC support, and microUSB 2.0.
- The phone does not support 5G and lacks water resistance.
- Overall, the Xperia LT29i offers essential features but may feel dated compared to newer models.
- Its design and camera performance remain notable for its release period in 2012.
