If Sony released a Xperia SP successor, how would you want it to be?

wiidbzxt · Jul 11, 2014

Imagine that Sony asks you, Xperia SP user, to give them ideas for the Xperia SP successor. Which features, design elements and name would you propose? Remember, Xperia SP is a mid range phone (or high-mid range), so don't lose control with your suggestions!

I would suggest: Xperia ZP.

Spec-wise, it would have:

-Snapdragon 600 with Adreno 320 GPU.
-2GBs of RAM (1.5GBs sounds more logical though)
-13mpx camera with flash, 1Mpx front camera (or 8mpx rear camera as long as it's as high quality as the one on Xperia P)
-4.6" HD IPS screen

For the design, I would like something between Xperia P (which I love) and Z1 compact, so it would be a minimalistic phone made mostly out of aluminum, but with the shape of the Z1 compact. Also, why not make it water-proof? As it seems to be the trend nowadays.

Anyways, share your thoughts. Remember, keep it real! (That means no 4K displays, 3GBs of RAM or Snapdragon 805 >_> ).

1)It would have the same SoC just to lower the price
2)8mp camera with a better lens
3)1.2mp front camera and not that crappy vga camera we have
4)2500mAh battery
5)1.5GB ram
6)8GB internal with a sd card slot
5)5" True HD IPS screen with better viewing angles
6)A led illumination strip all around the phone(party

)
And the best...

software support from Sony

Well everything can be done except the last one

berezker · Jul 11, 2014

- 5" 1080p display
- IPS+
- Same GPU
- Same CPU
- 2GB of RAM (A MUST)
- 2 MPx front camera
- 12 MPx rear camera
- 16GB internal memory + SD card slot
- Pure aluminium Exo skeleton rather than co-moulded (Plastic combined with aluminium)

:good: This sounds like something that can be done (minus the software

).

I personally would like them to kill the illumination bar...or at least make it smaller, it takes too much space from the phone and makes it bigger than what it should be.

This sounds great too, minus the 5" 1080p. In my opinion, this resolution will be a thing for mid rangers next year, when Quad HD become more common on high end phones. And maybe it's just me, but 5" is way too big for me...unless they make as compact as an ZL.

Also, I don't know about you guys, but despite how well it runs, don't you feel S4 Krait is getting outdated? There are 2 or 3 games that are no longer compatible with my SP.

I think that it should be Xperia R4. It might have:

-5" 1080p IPS Screen (same as ZL2) with glove mode and 2t2w
-64bit Snapdragon 615
-Adreno 320 OC
-2GB RAM
-16GB ROM with SD card slot
-IP68
-Front-facing stereo speakers
-8Mpx 16:9 camera and 2,2Mpx 16:9 front camera
-Illumination bar
-2800mAh battery

-137 x 70 x 7,8 mm
-Aluminum Frame
It should looks like smaller Z3 with illumination bar.

Rupant · Nov 27, 2014

It should have...
Well about 5" screen
2gb ram
16gb internal
13mp back and 2mp front camera

MixoMaxoViper · Nov 28, 2014

For me:

New perfectly working illumination bar made of crystals!
3000mAh battery
2 or 2.5 GB RAM
Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64-bit (8 cores per 2.4 GhZ)

Android 5.0 Lollipop with Material Desing(orginal android)
Special X-Pen with special place for it in the phone (like SGN2,SGN3)
Front 8 MPIX camera
2 speakers like Xperia Z3
Slim bezels!

ShinOrochiX · Nov 28, 2014

I would love it to keep the 4.6 inch screen because I find anything bigger to be too big. The design would be updated and it would keep the illumination bar plus the aluminium frame would be proper aluminium (as opposed to the current mixture it is). As for the specs it should remain mostly the same, only difference is that it should have an newer quad core chip at ~1.6GHz. And of course it must have better software support.

Gamer R · Nov 30, 2014

I would love to see Sony to release a newer version of Xperia SP under their sub brand or with collaboration with their sub brand "Fashion Entertainments" releasing an out of the box design and maintaining their tagline"The design connoisseur’s smartphone".

What is Fashion Entertainments ?

You don't know anything about CPUs and GPUs in a mobile device do you?

mckulz · Dec 3, 2014

I would like to see the ZSP stay the same physical dimension, just have minimal bezels for that bit bigger 1080p screen and Sony 20mp camera.

The other must have would be illumination bars top and bottom and a circular one on the back around the camera lens. I want people to see me talking from space.

The speaker is good enough, when I'm playing music I pair it with one of my bluetooth speakers.

Also a case with a special rotating keyboard that snaps into place like a switchblade click.

I don't really care about the having the latest specs, I want a phone with flair that takes great pictures and has a long battery life.

I wouldn't even mind if it keeps the 720p screen, I'm not ripping blurays or anything for it.

kaushal9119 · Dec 4, 2014

According to me Xperia SP2 should have:

4.8 or 5 inch display
Screen resolution should be 1080p
Quad core Snapdragon 800 paired with Adreno 330 (definitely not the 801 or 805 as these would be considered highend chips and 810 is outta the league)
2 gigs of ram
2800mah battery
13mp rear cam and 2mp front facer
Android Lollipop 5.0
And yes ofcourse our beloved LED strip

If this is what sony makes then m sold to it

If Sony released a Xperia SP successor, how would you want it to be?
