Sony Xperia SP launched in India for Rs 27,490

Following the launch of its Xperia Z and ZL flagship smartphones in the country, Sony India has now decided to bolster its mid-range offerings, starting with the Sony Xperia SP, which the company officially launched in India today. The Xperia SP, which was announced a month ago, is great mid-range alternative to the 2013 flagship devices, and boasts impressive specifications, including -

• 4.6-inch TFT LCD display with 1280×720 resolution
• 1.7 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus processor
• Adreno 320 GPU
• 1GB RAM
• 8GB internal storage, expandable via microSD up to 32GB
• 8MP rear camera, 0.3 MP front camera
• 2,370 mAh battery
• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

As you can see, the specifications are certainly impressive for a mid-range device, but unfortunately, features a price point which reflects that, with the Sony Xperia SP officially launched at Rs 27,490 (~$518). It’s not that it is any more expensive than other mid-range offerings from international manufacturers, but with the recent price cuts for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X and One X+, it will be a tough sell. That being said, the specifications of the Sony Xperia SP aren’t lacking by much compared to last year’s flagship devices, and is still a good choice at that price range.
Additionally, Sony Xperia SP owners will get free 6-month access to the Sony Music app, which includes unlimited music streaming and a database that features over 15 lakh songs, along with the Sony LIV video streaming app. The black and white color options of the Sony Xperia SP will be available in major retail stores from mid-April.
