Sony Xperia P is a miniature of Sony Xperia S. Most of the features are kept as is. Although the droid is not a premium one as per as budget is concerned still you get a nice feeling every time you touch it. Aluminum unibody design gives it stunning look. Outer shell is hard. Fingerprint-proof rear panel makes serious sense and a much needed one in modern day use. You can hold the phone firmly in one hand. Thanks to the curved back panel for better gripping. Display is one of the major strengths of the handset. Sony patented WhiteMagic display technology is used here that adds an extra white sub-pixel with usual red, green and blue sub-pixel. In this process brightness increases sharply to 935 nits. This technology is quite smart. It adjusts brightness according to the demand of surrounding. In low-light situation outdoor mode is automatically activated with max brightness of 935 cd/m2 while in sufficient light brightness is reduced to 530 cd/m2. In this way contrast is lost and result in poor color rendering. Overall viewing angles are impressive.

Yes, sure Wi-Fi Direct is there. In case you are not finding the option you should upgrade ROM to ICS to use Wi-Fi Direct feature seamlessly. It can be used as an alternative of Bluetooth with better coverage.
which is better among these two overall and why.

Both are very impressive. Sony Xperia P is more classy; it looks more elegant and stylish. In terms of performance Galaxy S2 is little bit better than Xperia P.
