Another smartphone that is worth of noting in this blog is none other than the Sony Xperia Miro. The Miro was introduce alongside with its sister phone the Xperia Tipo. At launch in October 2012, the Miro was retailed at a budget price of RM699 while the Tipo was at RM559. Both smartphone are of course produced by Sony to mark the entry-level smartphone market. The Miro is now available with a range price from RM548 to RM600 at various stores available at Lelong.com.my. For the Tipo, I have written a review about it in my past post, you may want to have a look at it here.
