Sony Xperia V Philippines Price and Release Date Guesstimate, Specifications, In the Flesh Photos!
I've been receiving tons of inquiries about this handset ever since it was unveiled by Sony Mobile alongside Sony Xperia J and TX last August 29 in Berlin.
"When is it arriving in the Philippines?", "How much will it cost?", "What are some of its key features?"; The TP Mailbox is flooded with such questions about Sony Xperia V.
And for good reason.
It's both handsome and powerful; The perfect combination.
For those who've been religiously feeding their piggy banks with folded bills to have enough funds to get Sony Xperia V, be prepared to finally break it either this Christmas or by New Year's.
Sony Mobile had the smartphone on display at the company's early Christmas Party Yuletide product exhibit at Resorts World Manila last Wednesday, which gave the media a hint that it's only a matter of weeks now before consumer can finally get hold of the 4.3-inch Dual Core Krait powered Sony Xperia V.
Flaunting a monster 13 MegaPixel autofocus camera with back-lit sensor and LED flash and supporting ultra-fast 4G LTE mobile connection speeds, Sony Xperia V flaunts a curved design that's kinda similar to that of Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. Oh, if it only it had a more powerful front-facing camera and a bigger battery, it would have been near perfect in my book.
In other territories, Sony Xperia V comes with official price tag of 499 Euros or roughly Php 25,000 with current conversion. Sony Mobile Philippines hasn't really given word on the official SRP of the handset but I'm expecting its price to start at roughly that amount.
