Sony Xperia Tipo Android ICS Phone Launched In India With Price Tag Of Rs. 9999:

                    Sony has launched the ‘Sony Xperia Tipo’ in India, an Android ICS phone for a price tag of Rs. 9999. If you’re looking for a quality smartphone powered by the latest Android 4 operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich, you might just consider the Tipo. You’ll get both single-SIM and dual-SIM variants of the phone and the dual-SIM is priced a little higher at Rs. 10,499. Sony’s Xperia brand has been quite popular among the younger generation because of its built and custom user interface. The phone is compact and gives you a robust-phone feeling while holding the phone in the call position.

Quick Features & Tech Specs Rundown

               The Xperia Tipo is a beautiful looking phone with a 3.2″, scratch proof display. While it’s smaller as compared to most of its competition, we think it’s not a deal breaker. The display is scratch resistant so you don’t have to worry about getting an extra screen-protector for it. Sony mentions that the display is reinforced with scratch-resistant mineral glass. Under the shell, the Tipo offers 800MHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon which is snappy enough for all the regular operations. On the rear side, you’ll have a 3.2 MP camera but we seriously miss the absence of LED flash, which is quite handy while shooting photos indoors or low-light conditions. However, be aware that the current norm for smartphones is 5 MP and we’d not recommend it to anyone who’s serious about the quality of photos. Give it a try on your own before you decide on buying this phone.

              The Xperia Tipo offers 2 GB of internal storage and allows Micro SD card to extend it to about 32 GB. Sony’s teamed up Box cloud storage that offers you free 50 GB free space – which is quite big to store your most important photos. The whole assembly is powered by a 1500 mAh battery which we believe is big enough to last for about 2 days on normal usage of the phone. The overall feature set makes this phone an attractive deal for android ICS phones under Rs. 10,000.

There’s an offer from Vodafone

            Vodafone has promised 500 MB of 3G data with validity up to 3 months. If you’re looking to buy a new connection, you might just consider going with Vodafone; and then switch to your favorite telecom provider once the validity is over via mobile number portability (MNP). The Tipo ships with a number of India centric apps like Bollywood Hungama, Crickbuzz and Dainik Jagaran – for the latest news.
