In a world full of phones you wish you could afford, the Sony Xperia miro is one you don’t have to wish too hard for. In honesty, Sony didn’t work themselves too hard, but when you’re putting together a portfolio from scratch, you want it built on solid foundations.
The Xperia miro is another simple package joining the ranks, filling in the blank space between the Xperia tipo and the Xperia go. The miro is a notch above the tipo, and costs an extra few bucks – Sony went about it strictly by the book without taking unnecessary risks.
The looks of the Xperia go – minus the rugged treatment – with the Xperia tipo’s internals. It’s a fairly straightforward mixture that will also fill the price gap between the starter package and the rugged smartphone. Lots of choice for different budgets is the secret to a large and loyal user base.
Let’s have a look now at all the features and the possible deal-breakers.
The major improvements over the Xperia tipo are the bigger LED-backlit screen, the higher-res camera and the secondary cam for video calls. The screen is the same size and resolution as the Xperia go’s but isn’t the Bravia-backed Reality display we’ve seen on a number of Sony and Sony Ericsson handsets.
That and the single-core CPU, as well as the non-rugged build, has helped the Xperia miro lower the price considerably. Overall though, it’s clearly a bet on the safe side – the Xperia miro is perfectly on par with its main competitors. So let’s give this fella a chance and see what it’s really made of. source
