Not content to pull back the curtains
on just one handset today, news of
Sony’s new Xperia S handset has
started to make round ahead of
Sony’s big Las Vegas press conference.
Gone is the “Ericsson” moniker, but
the Sony handset is nothing to sneeze
at. The Xperia S packs a 1.5 GHz dual-
core processor (what is it with 1.5GHz
processors today?), a 12-megapixel
camera capable of recording in 1080p,
and an NFC chip. It’ s slated to be
available in both black and silver when
it launches, and while I’m a fan of
bright orange, I imagine most people
won’t have an issue with the color
scheme.
Sadly, for a phone that’s supposedly
launching in Q1 2012, it only runs
Android 2.3 Gingerbread, though we
know Sony is already working on Ice
Cream Sandwich updates for most of
their more modern handsets.
The gamers among you will be
interested to know that the Xperia S is
also PlayStation-certified, so it’s fully
compatible with the PlayStation Suite
and all of the nifty games that it affords access to.
Users will have to be pretty judicious
with which games they install though
— it will only come with 16 or 32 GB of
storage depending on the model they
choose.
