Root Sony Xperia Tipo St21i (Dual/Single Sim) and install ClockworkMod Recovery

Xperia Tipo is Sony’s lowest cost smartphone that comes with Android 4.0 ICS version, 512 MB RAM and 800 MHz Processor supporting it. The design is good and it’s handy too.The phone comes with 3.2 inches scratch-resistant TFT touch screen with 320 x 480 pixels screen resolution.It lacks with front facing camera. Below the screen is a physical home key with back and menu key along its sides. On the back of the device you have a 3.2 megapixels camera but lacks with LED flash light. And below the camera is a speaker grill. Overall, the phone is handy with a different and attractive look that will attract the youth, but it fall short with its small screen size. Overall a good budget android device.
