Abstract: The Sony Xperia tipo is the first low-cost Android 4 smartphone to arrive in the UK. This budget model costs a mere £110 without a contract. That price puts it on a par with the Motorola Motosmart XT389, but although the two smartphones share similar s...
Despite its faults, I would happily recommend the Sony Xperia Tipo to users considering upgrading to a smartphone but not willing to break the bank. For what you pay for, the Tipo delivers, and I think it would be tough to find better performance at such...
Long battery life, Runs Ice Cream Sandwich, Dinky dimensions
Price is relatively high for the specification, Tiny and low resolution screen, Slightly iffy call quality
Sony Xperia Tipo Specs The Sony Xperia Tipo specification is quite modest. It uses a single core 800 MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor which is teamed up with 512MB of Ram. It's certainly not the fastest phone we've used, but nor is it dreadfully slow. Ho...

Android 4.0, Smooth and responsive, Solid battery life, Fast browser, Good for music
Low res screen, Cramped keyboard, Bad for watching video, Mediocre camera, Contacts and messaging
The Sony Xperia Tipo does a lot right, from its solid battery life to its responsive and smooth performance. It's not perfect though - the screen is small and low resolution and the camera won't be winning any awards. Given the price tag of around £100 (...
I've only used the Tipo for a few days and I am very surprised at how well it performs. My past experience with budget devices really made me wary of this. The only thing I don't think I could get used to is the onscreen keyboard. On a screen this size a...
Small screen, MicroSD card slot under battery, Fiddly to use
The Sony Xperia tipo has good sound output and might therefore appeal to music fans. But the fact that it runs Android 4.0 isn't such a big hook as to make me blind to a number of features that clearly mark this handset as one suited to its price. Manufa...
Sufffers from the odd stutter; basic snapper; screen not always responsive
At just over the £100 mark, the Sony Xperia Tipo is great value – and one of the cheapest ways to get Ice Cream Sandwich. The 3.2 megapixel snapper is fine for basic snaps and the single-core chip does a decent job on performance...
