Sony Xperia Tipo is an entry level smartphone with an attractive form factor. Its compact small body weighs just 99g and has a soft matte finish. Its display at

3.2nch is smaller than HTC Desire C but has a similar resolution of 480x320p and looks dull and beaten down.

Powered by Android 4.0, 800MHz processor, 512MB RAM and 4GB internal storage, Sony Xperia Tipo is a healthy alternative to the likes of HTC Desire C but

compared to Karbon A15, it appears unexciting. The touch response is nice and the small and compact form factor makes it a great device. It's not meant for gaming and even simple games hang on it. But, that is the case with most budget smartphones. We found the speaker very low and the camera very basic. Outdoor photo and video quality looks decent but suffers horribly in low light. Also, it's a single SIM phone with a 3.2inch display. Karbon A15 has a bigger display, dual SIM and also a better processor.
