Water resistance was still a novelty on mid-range phones back in 2012, and the Xperia V's IP57 rating meant it could handle a splash or even a dunk up to a meter for half an hour. That's paired with a 4.3-inch TFT screen running at 720 x 1280, sharp enough at 342 ppi for everyday reading and browsing.
Inside, a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait chip on the Snapdragon S4 platform handles the basics, backed by 1 GB RAM and 8 GB storage that's expandable via microSD up to 32 GB. The 13 MP rear camera shoots 1080p video with stabilization, and there's NFC, GLONASS GPS, and LTE Cat3 support for faster mobile data where available. The Sony Xperia V price in Malaysia starts from RM679.
A 1750 mAh battery keeps things running, modest by today's standards but reasonable for a 4.3-inch screen at the time. It ships in Black, White, or Pink, running Android 4.0.4 with an upgrade path to Jelly Bean.
