http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/orangedsc03951mat600.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/03/sony-xperia-p-review/)As the middle child from Sony Mobile's NXT family, the Xperia P steps out from behind the Xperia S' shadow with its own 4-inch screen -- and a touch of WhiteMagic (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/10/sony-whitemagic-lcd-promises-magic-formula-of-better-brightness/). Screen technology aside, the phone's design follows a path very similar to Sony's latest flagship and picks up a few quirks of its own on the way. The see-through button strip is actually touch-sensitive on Sony's 2012 middle-weight -- a curious oversight on the bigger model.
It packs Sony's 8-megapixel Exmor R camera sensor (likely to be the same one found in the Xperia Arc S), a dual-core 1GHz processor and just under 13GB of user-accessible storage. But there's one unfortunate Xperia trait here -- we're still playing with Android Gingerbread, even while its ancestors begin to dip their toes (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/25/sony-ics-updates/) into Ice Cream Sandwich. Does anyone want an incrementally smaller Android phone from Sony? And what exactly is WhiteMagic and what does it mean for the battery life?
