Comparisons Featuring Sony Xperia P
Short Review
- The Sony Xperia P features a compact design with dimensions of 122 x 59.5 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 120g, available in silver, black, and red.
- Its 4.0-inch LED-backlit LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 275 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and a NovaThor U8500 chipset, supported by 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
- The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images and can record video at 1080p@30fps, though it lacks optical image stabilization.
- The battery capacity is 1305 mAh, which may limit longevity, and it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with an upgrade option to 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is somewhat dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, NFC, and microUSB 2.0.
- Notably, the device does not support 5G and lacks stereo speakers.
- The absence of a front-facing camera limits selfie capabilities.
- Overall, the Xperia P combines a solid build with moderate performance and basic features.
