Sony Xperia SP already made a few appearances online, enough to get out attention. The first time we saw it pose (http://www.gsmarena.com/midrange_sony_c530x_huashan_stars_in_spy_photoshoot-news-5424.php) in front of a camera back in the end of January. A few days later we learned (http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_c530x_huashan_is_the_xperia_sp_c230x_is_the_xperia_l-news-5453.php) that this mysterious phone will be called Xperia SP and it will be most probably released with another sibling - the Xperia L. Recently we got (http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sp_c530x_shows_off_alongside_the_xperia_v_-news-5492.php) some info on the specs too.
From all the previous rumors before we learned the Xperia SP will be based on the Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset utilizing a 1.7GHz dual-core Krait processor and Adreno 320 graphics. It was also supposed to sport at least a 4.3-inch 720p screen. Also, one of its three region-specific versions - the C5303 - should come with LTE radio.
Today's new information sheds some more light on the design and the specs - the screen will be 4.6-incher and the rear camera will uses an 8MP Sony Exmor RS sensor. The internal storage will be 8GB, expandable via a microSD card slot.
The Xperia SP will have an aluminum frame and a removable plastic back cover. The SIM and microSD slots will be underneath that cover.
Finally, we also learned the footprint of the phone - 130.6 x 67.1 x 9.98 mm. With a weight of 155g it's quite similar with the Xperia ZL (http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_zl-5203.php).
It's unclear when the Xperia SP will be announced since Sony won't hold a press conference at the upcoming MWC. We guess it won't take long though.
