Sony has another android phone coming in the Philippines this month. Sony Xperia Miro, a mid-range level smartphone that’s just above the Xperia Tipo, is almost identical to the latter but it has some slightly improved specs. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that you would expect from a mid-range phone instead it only has limited features.
Sony Xperia Miro will only sport a 800MHz processor which is really odd considering its relatively fair price tag. In today’s competition, this should carry a 1GHz processor. It will have a 512MB of RAM which is a standard by now. The Xperia Tipo, which is priced at Php7,690, also has this internals so this is somehow confusing.
Let’s go to the upgrades. The Xperia Miro will have a larger 3.5-inch screen(against 3.2-inches) with the same 320×480 pixel resolution. It will also have a larger 1.5GB of data storage from Sony Xperia Tipo’s 2.5GB. Furthermore, another notable improvement is the 5-megapixel camera from the 3.2-megapixel camera.

Obviously, the Sony Xperia Miro doesn’t have the kicks to be a go to android in the mid-range marketplace – at least from the specs. However, design-wise, this thing might get your fancy as it is very sleek and good-looking. The Sony Xperia Miro will arrive in the Philippines this month with a price of Php10,490.
