Sony Xperia tipo Review
Share:
We didn’t expect the 3MP cam on the back of the Xperia tipo to be anything special, but it kind of shot down even our modest expectations. There are usually much more options in the camera interface of the Xperia phones than we have in the Xperia tipo,, and the samples come along to prove that this is a pretty basic unit.

The shots’ weakest point is the abysmally low level of detail by any standard. There are also white balance issues, casting hues in the outdoor photos at times.

Multimedia:
The handset sports the minimalistic Timescape UI music player, which has a spiffy homescreen widget, song categorization and album art, but also supports a number of equalizer presets, and Sony’s xLoud tech that boosts the bass. As usual with Xperia handsets, the speaker is loud and clean, of above average quality even in this entry level Xperia tipo.

As far as video playback goes, standard MPEG-4 clips are the only ones supported out of the box, up to 800x480 definition, so you’d have to grab some other player from the Play Store for DivX/Xvid-encoded footage. If you are longing to watch something on a 3.2” screen, that is.

MSM7225A is a ArmV7 SoC, with a Cortex A5 core, so it should be able to run flash.

this phone is way too expensive for its range. galaxy y and L3 are way cheaper as far as here in the philippines. even if it is already running ICS the price still is not justified.

galaxy y will get ics through xda, lg have a bad history with updates but they're getting there. but both phones have qvga screens so really the tipo is a better option because you'll have slightly better viewing angles.

Hi friends, I need your help.
Actually, internet connection(wi-fi) has become very slow on my "sony xperia tipo dual" mobile. Last week, it was giving speed about 2 mbps. But currently, it's giving in bps(Byte per sec). I am not able to figure out, why it is happening?
But when i checked internet speed on my friend's mobile (same sony mobile), there is no such issue. What is wrong with my handset? Please help.
