The dimensions of the Sony Xperia amount per 120 x 57 x 13.5 mm. The device weighs 140 g .
The customer naturally assumes that it can’t be these new Sony vgp-bps13as batteries and blames the analyzer.

The Sony Xperia pro is a consistently solid smartphone. It is built well but acts with its thickness of just 14 millimeters at first glance somewhat chubby. Guilt about this is the QWERTY keyboard, which is, however, succeeded excellently and usable at any time via the slide mechanism. In addition, the Xperia pro with a real camera and a reasonably fast processor to get the full benefit of the functionality of the Android operating system. Especially for people who want a smartphone with a full mechanical keyboard, the Sony Xperia per the price offered is a real buy recommendation.
Criticism is at best the internal memory needed is 320 MB with extremely low. The purchase of an external memory card is therefore strongly recommended. vgp-bps9/b battery analyzers also perform the important function of restoring faded batteries and weeding out deadwood.
