Xperia SP Notification Led

[RflSnchz]

Can anyone confirm if the new Xperia SP has a regular notification led in the front screen, like the Xperia P, or if it only has the notificarion bar below?

Thanks,

the Xperia P has a regular notification LED on the top next to the front facing camera.

my bad, I was thinking of the Xperia P.

the Xperia SP does not have an extra LED notification, just the bar at the bottom

pages 7-8, and 23

Thats too bad, i really like the phone, but i dont like this as the only notification light. I have an Xperia P, and i wouldn't buy a smartphone without a notification led.

Thanks a lot for the answer.

no problem, you might want to consider the Xperia Z, it's AMAZING, or wait for the rumored Xperias one walkman oriented and another cybershot oriented, those are rumors.

Or

wait 1 month or two for the HTC One Mini. Will be affordable and will have better specs than SP.

2GB RAM FTW!

htc use interesting materials on their phones but aside from that they haven't delivered a great phone, the One X was supposed to be an amazing phone and well it wasn't, the HTC One seems like a great phone on paper, we'll have to wait and see if it does deliver.

At the moment HTC One is better than Xperia Z and has less bugs. For a company like Sony the Xperia Z was plagued with sudden death which clearly shows how Sony failed with testing the software prior to official release to the public. HTC One has better camera than Xperia Z.

I'd pick the HTC One over any Sony Xperia devices anydays. Sony devices with 1GB RAM still suffer from lag, force close due to the software not being tuned properly and the awful bloatware you get, more than other manufactures.

There are good mid range devices from Sony, eg L, SP etc. However when the HTC One Mini releases it will have a serious impact on the mid-range market.

HTC One Mini;

- 4.3" SuperLCD 720p display (better viewing angles and colours compared to Sony Xperia devices)

- Dual Core CPU

- 2GB RAM

- 16GB Interal Storage

- 1,700mah Battery

- UltraPixel Camera

- Stereo Speakers with Amplifiers

- Beats Audio

- LTE

- Jelly Bean 4.2

With HTC you will get support for newer Android OS guranteed whereas Sony will just make a stupid excuse saying device can't handle it.

Sony have great products but lack big time in terms of support and tweaking the software. They should employ developers from XDA forums.

The main issue is speaker on the back? Nearly all Xperia device have the speaker on the back. It's not rocket science to place this anywhere else apart from the back! You place your xperia device flat on the table or in your pocket it's hard to hear the ringtone. That's how stupid Sony developers are, don't even have a single clue how to make devices with proper placement of hardware.

I disagree, but you are free to believe whatever you want, just one think, if you love HTC so much why do you even bother to post non helpful comments, is it because you want people to visit your twitter and/or blog? because that's what it seems like
