Sony Mobile Philippines has just revealed the price and release dates of the most anticipated new Sony smartphones – Sony Xperia S, Sony Xperia U and Sony Experia P. These three new Sony Xperia smartphones are expected to be available by mid-May according to Sony Mobile PH’s FB Fanpage. Let’s take a look at the three new Sony Xperia smartphone’s specifications and features.
The Sony Xperia S
First we have the Sony Xperia S, which will serve as their flagship smartphone. It has the best specifications among the three phones. The Sony Xperia S price in the Philippines is Php 27,990. This is the SRP and may vary depending on local dealers. Sony Mobile PH did not mention as to when the phone would be released. But they said that it will be happening very soon, Xperia S might be available in the Philippines by April.
The Sony Xperia S features a 1.5GHz dual core processor with Adreno 220 as its GPU. It runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and most probably upgradable to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It has a huge 4.3-inch display and a huge camera sensor of 12 megapixel at 4000×3000 pixel resolution. Even though Sony’s flagship is not powered by a quad core processor unlike the HTC One X or the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III, it compensates with the 12 megapixel rear camera featuring Exmor R sensor technology.
