Sony used co-moulding technology to create a unique solid design. Featuring a design similar to its predecessor, the Xperia SP has an aluminium frame with a plastic polycarbonate removable back and a transparent strip that runs across the bottom of the device. The transparent strip acts as the antenna of the phone, and notification LED bar and also illuminates when music is being played.[8]
