Sony Xperia P 2012: Full Review – Part 3

Performance

Behind the phone resides an 8-mega pixel camera that comes equipped with Sony’s Exmor R backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor. There is not shutter lag in taking instant photos and shooting from the lock screen is even quicker by pressing and holding the shutter button.

In the bright sunlight it takes greater detailed photos but the camera lacks in colours. The inside photos are even more impressive with flash. It takes more crisp photos than the Xperia U but cannot match the quality of flagship Xperia S.

The wireless quality is better than most of the handsets in the market. Websites download quickly over both HSPA+ and WiFi closed networks. However, the signal strength decreases quickly when the phone is held tightly in the hand. Moreover, the internet speeds decrease to snail’s pace in the same situation.

The 1500 mAh battery is not the best tech in the market but given the dual-core processor, the source takes the phone comfortably through the day with a normal use including calls, video and audio playback, internet with live notifications on Facebook, Twitter and email apps.

The call quality might not be called the stunning in the current market but is good for a handset in mid-price range. Additionally, the speaker phone also gives a clear voice. However, beware of holding it tightly in the hand.

Conclusion

The new Xperia P resides right in the middle of high-end premium phones and below average handsets. It has a normal dual-core processor to run just smoothly the Gingerbread operating system and boasts an 8-mega pixel camera for better photo shoots. It is not very thin but not very thick at the same time and very handy to carry around.

However, if someone is looking for a better Android handset that makes a stronger statement, Xperia P is not option to go for.
