Using the touchscreen

A protective plastic sheet is already attached to the screen of your device when you buy it. You should peel off this sheet before using the touchscreen. Otherwise, the touchscreen might not function properly.

When your device is on and left idle for a set period of time, the screen darkens to save battery power, and locks automatically. This lock prevents unwanted actions on the touchscreen when you are not using it. You can also set personal locks to protect your subscription and make sure only you can access content on your device.

The device screen is made from glass. Do not touch the screen if the glass is cracked or shattered. Avoid trying to repair a damaged screen yourself. Glass screens are sensitive to drops and mechanical shocks. Cases of negligent care are not covered by the Sony warranty service.

The Sony LT28h and LT28i, also known as the Sony Xperia V, were standout models released in 2012. These smartphones were part of Sony's Xperia lineup, which emphasized multimedia capabilities, robust performance, and sleek designs.

One of the main features of the Sony LT28h and LT28i is their impressive display. Both models sport a 4.3-inch Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine technology, which delivers vibrant colors and sharp images, making it a delight for media consumption. The screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels ensures that images and videos are rendered in high definition, providing an immersive viewing experience.

Under the hood, the LT28h and LT28i are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz. This chip, along with 1 GB of RAM, offers seamless multitasking and smooth performance for everyday tasks and applications. Users can run multiple applications without significant slowdown, making these models well-suited for both work and entertainment.

Camera capabilities are another significant draw for the Xperia V models. The rear camera boasts an 13 MP sensor with LED flash and features like autofocus, geo-tagging, and image stabilization.

Battery life is a critical aspect of any smartphone, and these models do not disappoint with a 1750 mAh battery, which, depending on usage, can provide sufficient power to get through a full day. Sony included its STAMINA mode, an intelligent battery management feature designed to extend battery life significantly by limiting background data usage.

In addition to hardware features, the LT28h and LT28i run on Android, which provides a smooth and customizable user experience. The user interface is user-friendly and supports a plethora of apps available on the Google Play Store, enhancing the smartphones' functionality.
