Released in April 2013, this mid-range Sony handset pairs a dual-core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon processor with 1 GB RAM, giving it enough muscle for everyday Android use. The 4.6-inch 720p TFT display delivers a sharp 319 ppi, comfortable for browsing and media. Photography gets solid support too: an 8 MP rear camera handles autofocus, HDR, sweep panorama, and full 1080p video recording with stabilisation. Storage starts at 8 GB internally, with a microSD slot expandable to 32 GB. Connectivity is well covered, with LTE Cat3, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, and A-GPS with GLONASS. The 2370 mAh battery sits inside a slim 10 mm chassis weighing 155 g. It ships on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, with a planned upgrade path to KitKat. Available in Black, White, and Red.

The Xperia SP suits buyers on a tighter budget who want reliable LTE connectivity and a capable 8 MP camera in a slim, pocketable design. It's a practical pick for light everyday use, though heavy multitaskers may find 1 GB RAM limiting.
