Specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sp-5364.php
Just look at that. As an Xperia U owner, made me feel like my Xperia U would be crap now, I mean like overshadowed or something.
I immediately thought of replacing my U with it after it gets released lol. They've also made led bar control on the phone now.
I also liked the part where the led bar blinks while someone is calling.
So uh, thoughts, opinions and anything else!

Indian price is said to be expected around 25k which is nearly 2x as U This is more along the lines of a new Xperia P or S

---

i would go for SP better choice of chipset, snapdragon S4 but would have loved it if it were S4 Pro but you wont get everything for a cheap price.

Rather Call It A Hybrid Of P(Aluminium) And U(Colour Changing Bar)
That On Screen Buttons Waste The Beautiful 720p 4.6" Display.
It Would Have Been Awesome If They Had Embedded The Buttons In Illumination Bar(Like P )
Anyways The Benches Show Its Position

Isn't it really a hybrid of the Xperia S and P, hence the name..

You cant really say this, I know its a male infested forum, but thats just really sexist

---

Hybrid S, P and U ... They really should name it Xperia UPS, though someone would sue Sony immediately, hence SP
I like the spec and the light bar (the reason I bought XU), a touch of aluminum, but since SP is not a flagship, and Android 5.0 will come soon, I don't think SP is a wise bet ...

I will never buy a Sony phone again.

Still I think exynos users are in a better position than us. S2 had a cm10 port even before samsung released jb.

Still that wont b a fully functional port.... We hve jb by munjeni bt its also not a fully functional one
Some members of official cm team refused to support s4 which was exynos based (although rest of the cm team said they dont prior announce support)
Bt the fact is its extremely difficult to get things working without sources no matter which chipset or which developer.... Qualcomm rules for a reason and we know this.....
