Sony Xperia Tipo (also known as the ST21i) is priced equal Huawei Ascend G300, Samsung Galaxy Y and the LG Optimus L3. In other words, it was in the line of cheap smartphones running the Android operating system.
The first thing disappointing for Sony Xperia Tipo you it is quite thick (13mm). Meanwhile, its height is 103 mm and the width is 57 mm.

Next to the power button and volume rocker buttons can also be used to zoom the camera.
The left side has a micro-USB jack, which is used primarily to charge the phone and connect to the computer.

It’s a very handy addition and quickly access camera feature is always great, but unfortunately it can not access directly into applications such as contacts or messages.
Android 4.0 works well on Sony Xperia Tipo, rational layout and beautiful.
Scrolling between home screens and operating fairly smoothly on phones is generally smooth and responsive.
Android 4.0 is not the preferred software of some handsets. Mainly due to screen size shorten lead to the main screen becomes crowded, especially when added to the widget.
Right on the front page, the interface elements used sometimes overlap. Some interfaces also slow and jerky.
Although launched with Android 4.0, Sony Xperia Tipo is equipped with Home and Back hard keys, which are not necessary when Android 4.0 was built with the concept of a buttonless interface – no buttons. These buttons just ruin the aesthetics of the device and more importantly, it also makes the space more cramped screen.
