The Japanese mobile phone manufacturer, Sony, unveils another promising smartphone called the Sony Xperia P (previously known as LT22i Nypon) in the event of MWC 2012. This phone can be considered as the high-end smartphone with more advanced features and specs as compared to the Xperia U which has been classified as being the mid-range Android phone. So now, let’s have a look at below detailed technical specifications of Sony Xperia P for your own noticing.
Style, Sizing and Screen
The overall design of Sony Xperia P is actually not too different with its older brother namely Xperia Ion. This comes with a transparent ledge at the bottom side that contains the emboss XPERIA text. It still has the elegant look with its color selections which include red, black and silver. The phone measures 122 x 59.5 x 10.5 mm and it weighs about 120 grams. By having this sizing and weight, the phone is surely not the slimmest or the lightest smartphone especially when compared to the Huawei Ascend P1 S.
The display measures 4.0 inches LED-backlit LCD capacitive touchscreen (540x960p) with 16 million colors and multi-touch feature. This also has been powered by the BRAVIA engine along with the WhiteMagic technology. WhiteMagic is basically a technology that can automatically adjust the brightness of the screen under direct sunlight conditions. As usual, the user interface has been backed up by the Timescape UI.
General Performance
For the overall functioning, Sony Xperia P comes equipped with Android OS 2.3 (upgradable to Ice Cream Sandwich), dual-core 1 GHz processor along with the 1 GB of RAM. For the storage space, you will be given the internal memory of 16 GB and unfortunately it can’t be expanded since there will be no microSD card slot on this device. The standard battery of Li-ion 1305 mAh will provide the stand-by time of up to 475 hours and talk-time of about 5 hours on 3G mode.
Camera Specs
For the digital photography needs, Sony Xperia P boasts the 8 megapixels rear-facing camera with the image resolution up to 3264x2448 pixels, auto-focus, and LED flash. For the better photo results, there will be also the geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, 3D sweep panorama, and image stabilization features. For the video recording, you will have the HD camcorder that uses the 1080p quality at 30fps, continuous auto-focus, and video light feature. In the front side, you will see the VGA secondary camera for video chats or conferences.

You will have the 3G connection through the HSDPA network with the speed up to 14.4 Mbps and also via HSUPA network with the speed up to 5.76 Mbps. In terms of wireless connectivity, any users can utilize the Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Wi-Fi hotspot, DLNA, Bluetooth 2.1 (A2DP+EDR) and NFC support. To access the web, you will experience the full web browsing since the pre-loaded browser supports for Adobe Flash and also HTML 5 compatibilty. There will be also the SmartDock feature that will allow users to connect the phone with Sony televisions more easily.
