Sony Releases New Xperia SP and L Smartphones

Sony Releases New Xperia SP and L Smartphones

Smartphones Mar 18,2013 0

Sony Mobile today announced two new Xperia smartphone models to join its 2013 line up - the Xperia SP and Xperia L. The Xperia SP supports 4G LTE connectivity and an HD screen. The Xperia L provides class leading camera technology with HDR for both photos and videos complemented by a high quality screen.

Both the Xperia SP and Xperia L offer a range of technologies including a high quality screen; the latest camera features; NFC connectivity for One-touch function; Battery STAMINA Mode for extended battery life; and Sony's signature media apps.

The Xperia SP utilises expertise from Sony's BRAVIATV engineers to create its 4.6" HD Reality Display. The latest Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 is nalysing your content type and adjusting the image automatically. The engine will make the adjustment by adding new real-time contrast optimisation to the sharpness enhancement, colour management and noise reduction.

The Xperia SP also features a co-moulded aluminium frame as well as a colour-changing "transparent element" with customisable illuminations, which you can personalise to alert you of incoming calls and text messages. And you can even set the illuminations to pulse to the beat of your favourite music.

Key features for Xperia SP

- Precision crafted co-moulded aluminium frame
- 4.6" 720p HD Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA(R) Engine 2
-- One-touch functions with NFC to display content on your TV or to share music and photos between devices

-- Battery STAMINA Mode for optimum battery life
-- Available in white, red and black colour variations

The functional Xperia L features an 8 megapixel camera with Sony's "Exmor RS for mobile" sensor technology . HDR (High Dynamic Range) ensures that both your photos and videos are captured clearly, even at night or against a strong backlight. And with the dedicated camera key that goes from sleep to snap in just over a second even from a locked screen, this fast-capture camera phone will ensure that you'll never miss another moment. The phone also features a 4.3" FWVGA screen.

Key features for Xperia L

-- 8 megapixel fast-capture camera
-- 4.3" FWVGA display

Both Xperia SP and Xperia L benefit from Sony's media applications. The "WALKMAN" application provides access to all your downloaded music, plus Music Unlimited with over 18 million songs to explore from, and Facebook social integration. The "Movies" application gives users access to over 100,000 movies and TV series from Video Unlimited while the "Album" application enables easy access to Facebook friends' photos as well as browsing photos by location.

Also featured on both models are Sony's One-touch functions, allowing you to instantly enjoy music and photos across an array of devices and latest range of NFC-enabled BRAVIA TVs, with just a single touch.
