Sony Xperia Tipo and Tipo Dual-SIM Available Starting September, Price Starts at P7,690

 

Sony announced the Xperia tipo in June and now we have an idea how much it will cost in the Philippines.

Sony Xperia tipo is a budget Android phone and though it carries the Xperia name, it’s not as flashy as its other Xperia brothers.  The Xperia tipo is worth checking out though if you are a first time Android user or a first time smartphone user for that matter.  The Xperia tipo comes in single-SIM and dual-SIM variants. The dual-SIM version will have a dedicated button on its side to switch between the two SIM cards.

Both have a 3.2-inch HVGA (320×480) display that’s said to be scratch-resistant.  It runs on an 800MHz single-core Qualcomm processor coupled with 512 of RAM so it’s not much in terms of performance.  It features a 3.2-megapixel rear camera though so that it should be able to handle your basic shooting needs.  What’s good is that the Xperia tipo is expected to last 24 hours with its 1,500mAh battery.

Other specs include a FM radio, GPS with A-GPS, Wi-Fi b/g/n, 2.5GB of internal memory, and a microSD card slot.  They both run on Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box.

The Sony Xperia tipo will be available in black, white, red and blue colors.  They can be purchased starting September for a price of Php7,690 for the single-SIM variant and the Xperia tipo dual is priced at Php8,490
