As the NXT series, Xperia P has the same design theme, which is transparent at the bottom of the list of phones. This list also serves as a transparent capacitive touch buttons for the three functions, respectively from left to right: Back, Home and Menu. The screen is the usual glossy black material. Front of the camera is large and the light sensor to accompany the Sony logo at the top. By the way, this P Xperia rear casing can not be opened just like that, so you can not use or replace the backup battery. Despite having a 4 inch screen, this phone feels quite compact and small, screen placement that meets the phones are very efficient, except for the bottom that extends into a long and makes the phone.


SIM card slot on the left side of the phone, it uses a micro SIM. There was a micro USB port near the SIM card slot, HDMI port as well which is another advantage Xperia P. To the right, there is a loudspeaker, lock keys, volume and camera buttons. That is quite unique is the placement of loudspeaker on the side of this right, exactly at the top, unlike other phones that are usually in the back. This phone does not have a slot for external memory, such as the Xperia U and S.



The back of the aluminum which adds serious on this phone is decorated with old Sony Ericsson logo is round and green. While certainly there is an 8MP camera with LED flash and a small sticker indicating that the phone is using NFC technology. Audio jack for headset 3.5 mm at the top, while the bottom there is a mic.



Screen


P Xperia screen using a new technology called White Magic. Sony makes WhiteMagic slightly different from the others, Sony adds a white subpixel to accompany the four subpixels of red, blue, and green (RGB). Impact, 4 subpixel technology can provide the level of illumination as bright as possible while conserving battery power. Extra white elements in each pixel to give more free mobile software to control the various levels of brightness that can be generated. By using software and a light sensor in the vicinity of the phone, the Xperia P be a smart balance light levels to maintain the brightness, while the level of battery power consumption less or reduced by about 50%. Features automatic brightness level of brightness, which consists of two additional modes, Bright Mode and Power Save Mode. In addition to White Magic, of course, Sony Bravia Engine provides unique features when playing photos or video.


When used indoors under the highest level of information is very bright, but the point is very pronounced in the bright lighting conditions such as outdoors 12 hours a day, the screen looks very clear, is more visible than the Samsung Galaxy Note. For the visibility of the viewing angle, P Xperia arguably better than Xperia S. For black level and contrast level itself is pretty good for the size of the LCD. But the white color display screen Xperia P was yellow, the same characteristics of age Xperia Xperia Arc to S and U. Especially if you compare it with white color on the iPhone 4. Even so, overall still quite impressive P Xperia screen, let alone in the gallery, as Bravia Engine issued an active and make a colorful display of beautiful and nice views.

On the home screen there are 5 pages and can be customized according to user preferences, you can megubah Wallpaper, add widgets, shortcuts and access to applications.

Of course you can also set up a free makeup application you arbitrarily.


Input Text


The first time you use the keyboard, there are questions about the type of use that you choose, whether you use the auto correction, or just want to be helped to a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, or are not helped at all. Type of keyboard used alone is Xperia Keyboard. As usual there is the language settings, keyboard mode to portrait mode (full or phone 123), setting the text input, voice input setting and type of feedback when typing. Typing in portrait mode when the Sony Xperia P very easy even if you use one hand, since the width of the screen and body fit, not too small and not too wide.

Messaging


As usual in the writing of SMS interface is very intuitive and easy to use, with the appearance of chat format is provided to allow users to see their conversation. To turn it into an MMS is very easy, simply by adding a multimedia file.

Supports multiple Gmail accounts, and standard features such as signatures, text size, label, notification, and others. Meanwhile, for those of you who love to chat, IM application is the default Google Talk. But there are still other alternatives such as LINE PlayStore, WhatsApp, and others better.

Additionally, there are camera's LED flash. Regarding the interface itself is fairly easy to use camera with these features as follows: resolution, flash, selftimer, smile detection, geotagging, image capture methods, shutter sound and Quick launch. Regarding the method of image capture, there is on screen buttons, and touch only camera capture key. The camera itself has a continuous autofocus feature. One of the advantages of the camera on this phone is a quick method of taking pictures with the Quick Launch feature, you do not even need to open the first lockscreen. Only by directly holding the camera shutter button about two seconds when the screen is locked then you will immediately be able to take pictures, or just launch the camera application, depending on the options you selected earlier.


The camera is pretty good and reliable. Especially for outdoor conditions and light enough. In the room felt no noise but not annoying. When taking pictures using the flash, for some reason the single LED flash on this phone is not very helpful. Please refer to themselves for more details, and click the photo to enlarge.

Video Player


Xperia P does not have a dedicated video player application so that the video player only passenger in the gallery. It is quite difficult because you can not see the video title to watch, and just rely on any thumbnail. When playing the video itself is not a lot of features, there is only a simple video editor. With Bravia Engine, display HD video that is playing very well and spoil the eye.


For files that can be played, we tried to enter. Mp4 (1080p). Mov (720p). Mkv (720p). Avi (480p) it can be rotated. Files that can not be played is the file. Wmv 1080p only. But for the format.

Then the local connectivity is a-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi (802.11 b / g / n) with DLNA and the ability to be a hotspot, micro USB (for mass storage and PC sync using the Sony Ericsson PC Companion), micro HDMI and Near Field Communication aka NFC, but no bonus like the NFC tag on Xperia Sola.

Web browser Application of this standard browser can be opened up to 8 pieces tab. Performance when opening a site filled with lots of content like  quite smoothly. Similarly, with streaming live video from Youtube.com in 480p resolution. Streaming 720p looks incriminating phone and browser performance hit force close at the first opportunity. For other features are a variety of settings such as default browser history, cookies, javascript and others. Third-party applications Temple Run Game romp 3D format is running smoothly but there were times when the framerate is not very smooth and occur several times frameskip, but in general the game remains playable well.

Sony Xperia P LT22i Review Gallery Benchmarking Quadrant Standard: 2190 points Antutu: 5246 Multitouch: a maximum of 10 touches simultaneously CamSpeed: (see picture) the speed of an 8MP camera with autofocus the speed of an 8MP camera with no autofocus Battery Endurance As an Android phone with absorbent specifications batteries (4-inch screen, dual core processor) Sony only provide 1305mAh batteries. Is this enough? If you use quite heavy (often browsing, check social networking, chat), it seems not enough, you have to use certain settings just make P Xperia battery last for 1 day at work. Moreover, the design of Xperia P unibodi make you can not use a battery backup as a spare. For charging fast enough, we do charge using the charger BB for less than 30 minutes, the battery indicator-an increase of 30 percent to 60 percent-an. Conclusion Xperia P has some excellent features is quite appealing as a 4-million mobile phones. 4-inch QHD screen WhiteMagic, dualcore processor, ala Xperia's design, as well as the NFC. But there is also a downside that is a small battery and can not be replaced, not using the latest OS, and no external memory slot (no internal storage of the remaining 11.2GB). Competitors in the same price range is the Motorola RAZR XT910, with a larger screen, slim design exclusive and just got the ICS. In addition Optimus 2X were in the range of prices that are not much different. Both are slightly more expensive than Xperia P, for a slightly cheaper price, there is a Samsung Galaxy S Advance which has also been put on dualcore processor. The choice is yours, if deficiencies exist in every cell phone is acceptable or not, all returned to your hand. Pros: screen super bright White Magic
