Sony Xperia J - Is 4-inches the the new "mini"?

Sony has launched it new Xperia J in the Philippines. With a street price of Php11,300 with an official warranty. The Sony Xperia J comes with a lower performance single core 1 GHz ARM Cortex A5 processor and Adreno 200 graphics. This limites the phones performance, for example, it cannot do 720p video capture. being limited to VGA video capture.

Given that Sony has several more powerful phones at the same price range, like the Sony Xperia neo L with a more powerful 1 GHz Scorpion processor, and the Xperia U with a dual core ARM Cortex A9 processor, what it the point of the Xperia J.

The Sony Xperia J is all about bringing a 4-inch display to the market at the lowest possible cost. It is starting to seem that soon all Androids will come with at least a 4-inch display.

The Xperia J has a very nice display with a 480 x 854 pixel resolution. The phones other specifications are decidedly entry level. But entry level is pretty good these days, with 4 GB of user storage, expandable via a MicroSD card and a 5 MP camera being all but minimum standards these days. The Sony Xperia J also comes with a large 1750 mAh battery,
