Sony unveils Xperia SP and Xperia L smartphones

Sony has announced two new mid-range Android phones today, the Xperia SP and L.
The SP has a 4.6-inch 720p display, a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4, an 8MP camera, NFC, LTE, 8GB internal storage and runs on Android 4.1, matching high-end specs for 2012 but not for 2013.

Second, the Xperia L has a 4.3-inch FWVGA (854x480) display, a dual-core 1 GHz Snapdragon S4 processor, NFC, 8GB of internal storage, Android 4.1, and no LTE. However, the device does have an 8MP camera, including HDR tech, which the company is really touting.



Sony is making both devices available in Asia and Europe by the end of the Q2, and there was no word on price. Don't expect a U.S. release for these devices as they wouldn't sell well here.

If the SP is $299, it will be great.

If the L is about $199, people will flock to this.
