but it's difficult to tell it apart from stiff plastic by feel alone. The back panel is a plastic affair that feels cheap when removed, but looks good when attached. There's a little flex in the casing that detracts slightly from the luxurious aesthetic, but that's offset slightly by the attractive metal ring around the camera lens.

At the bottom of the phone is a clear perspex bar. It flashes a variety of colours to let you know of incoming calls, messages and other notifications. The colours for each notification are customisable in the menu, so you can select a variety of hues and get your friends to call and text you to set off a miniature light show.

The flashing effect is subtle, and sometimes difficult to see properly, but it's quite handy to see when something's going on if your phone's turned upside down on silent. It's arguably a bit gimmicky, and not likely to appeal to everyone, but I was quite fond of it in my time with the phone. If you really don't want it, you can always turn it off altogether.
The phone itself measures 130mm long, 67mm wide and is 10mm thick. It weighs 155g too, making it feel quite hefty. If you're looking for the slimmest, lightest phone around, the SP isn't a good choice. The Xperia Z is physically bigger, but it knocks around 10g off the SP's weight.

• Display:

The SP packs a 4.6-inch display rocking a 1,280x720-pixel resolution. That's not pushing the Full HD resolution of its bigger brother, but it's still an impressive effort. It boasts 319 pixels per inch (ppi), which is a big step below the 441ppi of the Z, but you'd be hard pressed to tell much difference, side by side.

Only when you really get close enough to touch your nose to the screen will you be able to notice much improvement in clarity on the Z. The SP is very sharp, with clearly defined edges on icons and small text being rendered well.

• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean:

The SP is running on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean which isn't quite the most recent version of Google's operating system, but it's modern enough for it to be acceptable. It's the same version you'll find on nearly every other recent phone -- with the exception of the S4, running version 4.2. The next major update -- Android Key Lime Pie -- is just around the corner though, so this iteration is about to take a step down

• Camera :

The SP packs in an 8-megapixel snapper which is a bit of a step down from the 13-megapixel might of the flagship Xperia Z. The camera features auto-focus, an LED flash and shoots video in 1,080p. On the front is a VGA camera for video calling.

• Battery:

Some of the heft of the phone comes from a pretty chunky battery. Sony reckons you can get an impressive 18 hours and 53 minutes of talk time on 3G. I think that's perhaps a little ambitious, but the battery is certainly better than average. Assuming you don't spend the whole day playing Real Racing 3, you shouldn't struggle to eke out a full day of use.

• Conclusion:

The Xperia SP's specs won't trouble the flagship phones, but it has loads to offer for a more modest price tag. Its 720p screen is sharp, its dual-core processor is enjoyably swift and the crisp white design and flashing notification light will certainly find a few fans.

Its camera didn't impress in my tests and Sony's own app stores and controller connections needs some improvement. If you're looking for a well-performing all rounder though, and don't want to spend upwards of 600 smackers, the SP is an excellent option to consider.
