Sony Xperia P smartphone: a brief overview of the model

In February 2012, representatives of the Japanese company Sony announced the imminent release of the new smartphone Xperia P. As a result, the model debuted on the market in a few months. Indicators such as the capacitive touchscreen display of four inches and the dual-core processor with a frequency of 1 GHz, which the device received, at the time of its release were very impressive. In this regard, the novelty quickly appeared a large number of fans. Overview of Sony Xperia P is presented later in this article.

general description

The model is quite comfortable and ergonomic and does not slip out even during long conversations. The weight of the device is 120 grams. As for the dimensions of the smartphone, they can be called optimal, because the control is easily carried out with one hand. The case of the device is made of metal. At the same time, the Sony Xperia P build quality is at a high level. User reviews are an additional confirmation of this.

The front side of the model is occupied almost entirely by a liquid crystal display. On the top are a front camera measuring 0.3 megapixels, distance and light sensors, a speaker for conversations, as well as a company logo of the manufacturer. Due to the fact that the side edges together with the rear panel represent a single aluminum sheet, the lid is not removed so easily. On the left end of the Sony Xperia P, the developers put the connectors microSIM, microHDMI, and microUSB. On the opposite side you can see the volume control, power button, loudspeaker grill and direct camera start keys. On the upper edge is a headphone jack, and on the bottom - a microphone. The main camera on 8 megapixels is located on the back cover.

As for the technical characteristics, the model is equipped with a processor for two cores, operating at a frequency of 1 GHz. The amount of fixed memory is 16 GB (of which 4.5 GB is required to provide for the device's own needs). An optional memory card can not be installed.

Screen

Smartphone Sony Xperia P is equipped with a touch TFT-display, the diagonal size of which is 4 inches. Its resolution is 960x540 pixels. The screen is based on the proprietary technology WhiteMagic, it operates using four subpixels, and not three, as in previous versions. Due to this, the picture on the display looks pretty bright and high quality. The device is able to display up to 16 million colors. Tempered glass is used to protect the screen .

Camera

As already mentioned above, the main camera is on the rear panel of the Sony Xperia P. The characteristics of this device as a whole can be called quite acceptable. It is equipped with automatic focus and flash. When shooting objects, especially at close range, the picture is very natural. In this case, the illuminations from which previous smartphones from this manufacturer suffered, equipped with similar 8-megapixel cameras, are not typical for the received photos. The most significant drawback was the tendency of the automatic focus to "miss" at long distances. As for video recording, the maximum resolution on which it is produced is FullHD. The stabilizer here though and not ideal, but is essentially the best in comparison with the previous updatings. One can not but mention such an interesting feature of the device as the camera's direct launch button, with which you can create pictures even in the locked state of the smartphone.

Software

At the time of the official debut, many experts called the shell of the Sony Xperia P the most interesting among all devices operating on the Android operating system. Device settings are quite standard for models from its segment. The smartphone has many pre-installed applications and services not only from the manufacturer itself, but also from Google. It should be noted very convenient page layout programs that the user can independently sort by frequency of use, alphabet or installation time.

Autonomy

The model received a lithium battery of a removable type, the capacity of which is 1305 mAh. This is quite enough to work without recharging in standby mode - up to 475 hours, talk time - up to 5 hours, continuous video playback - up to 4 hours. At the same time, to compensate for the not so impressive performance, the developers have provided for the device a power saving mode, which, when activated, automatically adjusts the brightness of the display and the operation of the wireless modules.

Conclusion

To summarize, it should be noted that the smartphone Sony Xperia P after its official debut became a real hit and was in high demand. And this is not surprising, since the model has got everything you need, starting with a stylish metal case with optimal dimensions and ending with high performance. Numerous reviews of the owners of the device indicate the absence of any serious complaints. As for the shortcomings, they can be attributed only to a not very high autonomy.
