Sony has added
new lower-end Xperia phones in its NXT line-up with the socially-inclined
Xperia miro and dual-sim Xperia tipo.
The higher entry
level-phone of the two, Xperia miro, sports a stylish design and is “deeply” integrated to
Facebook for you social networking needs. Apart from that, this Xperia has
customizable color illuminations for your notifications - let’s say, having the
blue color for Facebook. This comes with Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box and
a processor speed of 800 MHz. What makes Xperia Miro unique from other Xperias
is its reverse chin (imagine the chin of HTC One V the other way around).

Sony has been so kind infusing ICS to entry-level
phones such as these. Sony adds that the availability of these phones will be
in Q3 this year. Such a good option if you're planning to have a transition to Android platform.
