<b>Quality precision craftsmanship</b>
Xperia SP lifts craftsmanship to a whole new level. Using co-moulding technology which allowed us to create a unique solid design, this HD phone comes with a seamless look and feel that melts into ones hand. Paired with premium materials, Sony engineering and precision-crafted details, you’ll get a smartphone that lets you experience true design innovation.
<b>Makes your personality shine through</b>
The illuminating, colour-changing belt makes your Android smartphone extra personal. It will notify you of everything from incoming calls and text messages to Facebook notifications. And when listening to music, the illumination will pulse to the beat, becoming more intense as you crank up the volume.
<b>Letting design take the lead</b>
The Xperia SP was born out of a simple paper mockup and a strong vision of creating something truly unique. Our designers Jessie Zhao and Toshihide Umedan had a clear idea of crafting a smartphone where the display virtually floats in thin air. To be able to achieve this, we paired their design vision with our 60 years of Sony engineering experience. We created a transparent antenna and a body that was solid while retaining a floating feel. Then we focused on getting the right weight and shape – since balance and proportion is crucial for the overall user experience. Finally we choose the colours black, white and red, which complement the metal structure as well as the quality of each component.
<b>One-touch functions</b>
Use your smartphone to create living room get-togethers. This NFC Android smartphone lets you share photos, films and games on your HDTV with One-touch mirroring. No cords needed, thanks to NFC and screen mirroring.
