Sony Xperia LT25i V Interface
When we turn on the phone the first time, the phone is still using the Android operating system 4.0.4 ICS. Despite rumors Xperia receive updates Jellybean V 4.1, but when we checked there are no updates available.

As we have explained above android function keys are in the interface so that the display screen is slightly cut off is not full 4.3-inches. From the look of lockscreen itself still looks the same as the system of two two-way slider, which left slider to unlock the screen and right slider for a shortcut to the camera (since there is no camera button here). If you do a slide on the clock it will show the mini music player for quick access. Go to the homescreen then you will be presented as a five-page homescreen widget canvas compose your favorites. Overview mode is still present by simply pinching gestures.
Notification window comes with a slight modification, with the addition of a shortcut to some of the menu settings such as sound profiles, bluetooth, wifi, data, and settings menu. For recent apps simply pressing a dedicated button. View recent apps is a little different from what we usually find. Sony added a few small apps that can be added to the homescreen of here like a calculator, timer, notes, and voice notes. You can also add another good small apps downloaded from the Play Store.
Drawer comes with a typical application Sony Xperia another. Application icons arranged in a 5x4 formation with a transparent background. These icons can be positioned manually or do sorting based on specific categories.
Performance Xperia V interface is not very impressive, we still feel the lag-lag while browsing the menu to the menu. The power of dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait coupled with 1GB of RAM is not so pronounced. Even when we were hearing the song and then open the application which is quite heavy, the sound output had faltered.
Like the other Android Xperia series, the Xperia affairs typing keyboard supplied with additional options for Mandarin and Japanese.
