Xperia Tipo Dual, cousin of Xperia Tipo is an outstanding creation released by Sony for the people who want to buy Android phones at an affordable rate. Of course people who want to use Dual-Core ones won't like the specification of this elegant and eductive masterpiece. My suggestion to them is: Before they superciliously reject this phone, they must know, not many people could shell out 25 thousand Quids to buy a smartphone and there are less fortunate ones who want to own an Android device and enjoy the most of it . It should be a worthy buy as it has a reasonable configuration and is also coming at an attractive price and also not many Dual-Sim smartphones are available in the market which run on Android 4.0.

1. Its a dual standby.. means,, when u r using one sim to make phone call/ using GPRS the other sim gets off. SIM switch button is just awesome feature.Very easy to switch between sim's. 2. 3G is supported on both sim's but not at a single time.. i.e if u r using 3G on SIM1 den you can use only GSM mode on other.You can always switch d preferred sim for using 3G anytime. 3. Phone memory is 754MB+2.15GB i.e phone only(like whatsapp, GO sms) apps can be installed only in this 754MB space(This is sufficient).. 2.15 GB is as good an external card fixed inside d phone permanently. 4. Headphone output is below satisfactory,,,, Do get purchase a good new headphone with d handset. 5. Phone built quality is pretty good. 6. Touch screen is way above satisfactory.. FOR THOSE WHO R IN NEED OF A DUAL SIM SMART PHONE.. JUST GO FOR THIS ONE.. U WILL NEVER REGRET OF BUYING THIS. As this phone was out of stock from flip-kart from many days, I had to buy this from local market.

I bought this phone after originally contemplating Karbonn A5. Let me summarize the pros and cons Pros Good touch response Sony PC companion makes transferring data from PC very easy Good Speaker Very good call and voice clarity Sensor with blue blinking light for missed calls Sony Smart Connect app is very good to create smart connections (you can create a profile to silence calls from 11 PM to 7 AM for example - check it out) Good battery life and fast charging (less than 2 hours to fully charge from 10%) Android ICS is very fluid with Sony customization Large internal memory - you can install apps to your hearts content Good wifi Cons Screen size being a little small can sometimes not register my touch accurately For those who want to silence an incoming call by waving their hand in front of their phone (near the ear piece where the sensor is), install SilentHover app from Android market. Use Organizer Widget (gives a neat dashboard of your calls and messages) and Go SMS widget for flipping through your messages ** For those who want to import contacts from a Nokia Phone** I had a Nokia earlier and I was able to import my contacts by first creating a backup of my contacts (from within the Nokia phone using its backup manager) and then copied the backfile file *.nbu to my desktop. I then renamed the extension to *.zip and extracted the file contents. If you search the folder for *.vcf, you will the find your contacts listing. Copy this to your memory card in your phone and you will be able to import this from your Sony Xperia contact app.

very good set. noticed some features which may have need attention. pros ==== 1. good look 2. os is good. internal memory provided helps storing bigger apps. 3. screen color is good. and well responsive. 4. sound quality awesome with xloud tech. 5. headphone is not so bad. much better than same type of nokia or samsung. 6. timescape interface is very good and fun to use. 7. can play some 3d games also. 8. screen is made of mineral glass. NO SCREEN PROTECTOR NEEDED :) cons ==== 1. screen viewing angle is not so wide. you see brightness diffres from a slight change of angle. 2. The external card memory, which is not accesible by some of file explorer. as they found the internal memory as sdcard. 3. back cover of the phone is very badly made. plastic is of poor quality. 4. in spite of having 512 mb of ram, gameplay affected when you receive a sms. 5. use of dual sim sockets and micro sd card socket is tidious. 6. charging cord is too small, but it is due to the usb connectivity. 7. xpected xperia timescape(silk) lwp but it is not provided. 8. preloaded file browser literally sucks. 9. a funny thing. the earpiece speaker is so loud that sometime caller may hear his echo. so you have to set the volume medium while calling. 10. photo and video widget shows deleted file's thumbnails for very long time (may be 6 or 8 hours ;). afterall this phone has some small issues but bottomline is 'it is awesome' with this price tag. and hereby it deserves a 4 star.

jst bought dis phone...I did not experience this too much...1st look review 1. dual Sim...but its standby mode sim...not active mode sim.. 2. killing silver looks 3. good touch response....not awesome 4. sony brand 5. scratch resistant 6. easy to handle 7. affordable price 8.

I have spent a quite long time...this phone jst told me that dont waste ur time...jst buy me...you will not regret...and I made a good choice :)

Sony has come out with yet another beauty!! a budget phone with almost all good features! battery comes for almost one day for a normal use compared to other android mobiles. dual sim with swap button.Xloud technology gives a good speaker sound. P.S. Flipkart gives it in the most least price and a very fast delivery in a very proper packed condition!

I have been using this phone since 7 days. As mentioned by one of the reviewer, this phone is 'dual standby', that means, it can receive calls on both the SIM cards, but while making a call or sending SMS, one needs to switch. Even this switch is pretty easy, a dedicated button is provided or you can do this switch through an settings option as well. As far as features, biggest factor for me to go with this phone is android 4.0 and internal memory of around 3gb. I don't think you can get these 2 things any of the competitors in this price range. Battery life is also good, i get 1.5days after full charge. Overall i am very happy with this handset.
