4. Sony Xperia S
IM Score: 9
While several Xperia models feature HDMI port, 4.3 inches display Xperia S, the next one on the list of best smartphones with 1080 HDMI output, offers best specs. You’ll get Dual-core 1.7 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The 12MP rear camera was good for that period, but 1.3MP front really spoils the overall picture.
