**Unboxing and Review of the Sony Xperia P**

The Sony Xperia P is a sleek and stylish smartphone that boasts a stunning display, impressive camera capabilities, and a robust set of features that make it a great option for those looking for a high-end Android device. In this unboxing review, we'll take a closer look at the Xperia P and see what makes it tick.

One of the standout features of the Xperia P is its ability to change themes, allowing users to personalize their home screen and notification panel to suit their mood or taste. This feature is reminiscent of the Xperia Sola, which also allows for theme changes. However, unlike the Sola, the Xperia P's bottom light remains unchanged, but this doesn't detract from the overall user experience.

The Xperia P's notification panel, on the other hand, is a bit lacking in terms of customization options. While users can access settings through a desktop widget, there is no quick launch access to widgets, which is a common feature found in many modern smartphones. Additionally, Sony has not yet released an update that adds this feature to the Xperia P.

Despite these limitations, the Xperia P offers a range of customization options for its main OS. Users can move apps around on the home screen and sort them in alphabetical order, most used, or recently installed. This allows for a high degree of flexibility and organization. Furthermore, users can combine two applications together to create folders, which is a convenient feature that saves time and clutter.

When it comes to UI features, the Xperia P boasts some great Timescape-style elements, including a 3D Panorama camera. To demonstrate this feature, we'll be uploading sample videos from the Panorama camera on our YouTube channel. Additionally, users can set up Timescape and view their contacts in a stylish format, complete with updates from friends on Facebook and Twitter.

The Xperia P also features a range of camera modes, including Auto mode, Normal mode, Front camera mode, 3D sweep Panorama, sweep multi-angle, and sweep Panorama. Users can access these modes by pressing the top-left button on the camera application's home screen. Furthermore, users can adjust exposure compensation and flash settings to suit their needs.

But what about performance? In terms of Benchmark scores, the Xperia P scored a 247 in Quadrant Standard, which is not too impressive compared to other smartphones on the market. However, in real-world use, we found that the device was well-built, had a great display, and performed impressively, even with demanding games like Real Racing and Temple Run.

Overall, the Sony Xperia P is a solid choice for those looking for a high-end Android device. While it may not excel in terms of Benchmark scores, its robust feature set, stunning display, and impressive camera capabilities make it a great option for anyone looking for a top-notch smartphone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's happening guys this is B nakal for.in and today we're going to be reviewing the new Sony xeria P now this is a really nicely built smartphone launched by Sony in India and uh no longer Sony Ion it is become Sony mobile and uh they've launched this new device in the Indian market and first thing that I'm going to tell you and I'm going to start with is the build quality so let's get into that now the xeria p is extremely well built it's got a metal unibody aluminum finish and it's got this really nice coating on it which is sort of glossy but it is uh matte so it has this shine to it but it's still a very matte and uh non fingerprint friendly uh finish so we really like the overall build it's a unibody design no removable parts or doors uh you can however remove the bottom panel over here uh and that is to customize the bottom cover and add a different color to it and it also has some certification information in there so that's the only reason that this bottom part is removable and the only other thing removable is the the SIM card slot uh which is over here on the left but apart from that the device is completely sealed and is a single unit what you see on the screen is a lot of fingerprints but those fingerprints are actually on a screen protector that comes pre-installed on the device uh directly from the box so all you need to do is remove the plastic protective covering and you have a really nice screen protector that has been installed without any errors so you have a perfectly smoooth installed screen protector and this screen protector is actually good it it will protect your device uh from impacts as well it's uh it adds another layer of uh strength to the screen as well so let's talk about the physical aspects of the device on the front of uh the xeria P you have a VGA camera you have a sensor over here as well uh along that you have the Sony logo along with the earpiece below that you have a really nice 540 pixel X 960 pixel 4in display which is a really nice capacitive touchscreen display the overall pixel density is 275 pixels per inch so really nice uh pixel density you also have Sony mobile Bravia Engine inbuilt into it that's nice you have three touch capacitive buttons that are on the blank part over here unlike the Xperia S where they were in the black bezel uh they're in this uh transparent part at the bottom and they are much more responsive than they were on the Xperia S on the right hand side of the device you'll see a dedicated camera shut Buton the volume rocker and the power lock and unlock button now these buttons are extremely tactile very impressive buttons from Sony and they do a good job you also have a flat 3.5 mm headphone jack and all sort of headphones work with this

a micro HDMI output for connecting HD devices and you have the SIM card slot now the SIM card slot is for a micro SIM and is a spring-loaded slot so we are not very happy about this but it is what it is and this is what's been installed on the back you have a really nice 8 megapixel camera with autofocus it does do full HD video at 30 frames per second and you do also have a LED flashlight so uh that's the exterior and it's a fairly nice exterior when we talk about the interior and we talk about um what's inside on under the hood so we have a dual core cortex A9 processor uh and we also have a Mali 400 MP GPU the chipet is a novator u85 which is a fairly nice chipset it's currently running Android 2.3 but there will be an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich anytime soon from the company and uh in terms of ram we have 1 GB of inbuilt RAM and uh there is no micro SD card slot on the device you get 16 GB of storage out of which 13 GB is approximately available to the end user and you also get a box storage account for about 50 GB you get 50 GB of cloud storage along with 13 GB on the device so fairly impressive device from Sony it's in the price range of about 25,000 rupees and we really happy about it so now let's take a look at the user interface and uh this is the lock screen of the device you can quickly scroll from top on the top over here from your time to

if you scroll in you can mute and unmute the device quick uh sort of launch buttons over here for doing that now scroll in from the left you'll see the standard Timescape user interface that we've actually been seeing for on all the Sony ixen devices so what it does is once you pinch in it will zoom in it will bring in all the widgets instead of bringing in all the home screens so it actually looks nice and you can search for the vidget that you were looking for and jump to that instead of searching for the page it can be convenient for some people it can be inconvenient for some people it depends on who's uh using the device now Sony also has this really nice uh quick launch sort of widget which will help you launch and uh disable Wi-Fi Bluetooth uh you also can set your backlight

bedroom you can configure the smart tag to uh put your phone on silent put the wi-fi off put the Bluetooth off and uh start an application for example an alarm application so once you get into your bedroom you just simply put your phone to the smart tag and it will turn off wi-fi turn off Bluetooth put your phone in silent and uh you can quickly set an alarm for the next day and you're all set
