The Xperia Tipo is a compact little number with a 3.2-inch display sporting 320 x 480 resolution. The durable screen is made from scratch-resistant mineral glass and the casing has an attractive matte quality available in red, white, blue or black, and an...
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...

The Sony Xperia Tipo is Sony's latest Android phone that has a small price to match its dinky dimensions. However, unlike a lot of other budget handsets we've seen lately, it doesn't rely on the older 2.3 version of Android, but instead comes loaded with...

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...

Suitable uses for this would be, as a second phone for taking out running, as it would be ideal for Endomondo tracking and music playback. A cheaper phone on payg for a member of your family who doesn't want the latest and greatest device. Or just a devic...

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 (...

The Xperia range is rather large, covering every possible budget range some of the latest Xperia phones have been in the budget range. Including the Xperia Tipo. The Sony anti naming convention Xperia Tipo. It is a tiny little thing with an almost iden...
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...

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...

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...
