It was launched in October 2011 as a cheaper albeit alternative variant of the more expensive Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo.

It sports a 5.0-megapixel camera capable of recording 720p high definition video.

It also features a front-facing VGA camera excluded from the Xperia Arc which allows for video chat.

Generally, the phone has received positive reviews from sites such as GSMArena, being praised for its competitive price and the latest (at that time) 2.3 (Gingerbread) upgradeable to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Android operating system.
