Director of Xperia Marketing at Sony Mobile Communications, Calum MacDougall said at the launch, "Xperia SP and Xperia L are ideally suited for those seeking stylish class-leading smartphones that don't compromise on features."
"Both of our new models benefit from Sony's Proven innovation and engineering expertise-whether you want to enjoy premium HD quality entertainment over 4G LTE on our mid-range Xperia SP or capture every moment in perfect detail with our affordable Xperia L."
Sony has stated that the smartphones will hit worldwide markets in the second quarter of 2013, but the company has chosen to remain silent over the price details.
