The Xperia SP is due to launch at the end of this month, but that hasn’t stopped Sony from releasing the user guide. The manual is for the C5302 (HSPA+), C5303 (European LTE) and C5306 (North American LTE) versions of the Xperia SP and clocks in at 130 pages. You can download the English manual below, user guides for other languages are not currently live.
We were hoping for some detailed information on setting notifications for the transparent bar, but this info is strangely absent from the manual. What we did notice though is that Sony has included a special hard reset button on the back of the handset. This is a first for Sony Xperia smartphones as far as we are aware.
