The Sony ST26i, also known as the Sony Xperia J, is a smartphone that was released in the latter part of 2012. It was part of Sony’s Xperia series and aimed at more budget-conscious consumers while still providing core features found in higher-end models at that time.

The Xperia J is powered by a 1GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 processor, which was complemented by 512MB of RAM.
