Sony Xperia S is first non-SE smartphone

The split-up of Sony and Ericsson has left Sony to carry the Xperia line on its own. First up on the podium is the Sony Xperia S (formerly referred to as Nozomi).

Before this Sony-Ericsson did not have any dual-core processor in its handset line-up. The Sony Xperia S will get a dual-core 1.5GHz chip just to impress.

Sony Xperia S specs:
4.3-inch Reality Display @ 720p (1280×720 pixels)
Snapdragon S3 1.5GHz dual-core processor
1GB RAM
16GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA
Bluetooth 2.1
NFC support
HGPS w/ aGPS support
12MP Exmor R rear camera
1080p video recording
1.3MP front facing camera
Android 2.3 Gingerbread

The Sony Xperia S will also be Playstation certified, just like the SE Xperia Play. Sony also announced an Xperia Ion but that’s in partnership with AT&T and sports an LTE chip and bigger 4.6-inch screen. The Xperia S is expected to be released by 2nd quarter of 2012.

    Grabe, ambilis naman. I was just oggling at the Xperia Ray and then Sony – Ericksson decided to split up? The phone here seems like a walking/handy TV :DDD

      actually may kanya knyang kapintasan ang mga mobile phones… mapa kahit anong brand man or model… also kanya kanya “Preference”lang yan.
      if trip mo ng samsung then fine go to samsung page and dun ka mag post ng mga good stuff about sa samsung eh nasa xperia page ka so “back off” samsung fan boy!

      FYI, im not a xperia fan pero hanga ako sa model n ito at sa innovation ng sony sa mobile phone line ups nila

      well kung mas nagagandahan ka sa Galaxy ikaw ang mas cheap at mas mababa ang taste. Sa panagalan palang ng Phone ano ang mas may appeal Galaxy o Xperia? Xperia pangalan pa lang angat na sa kung san sang kalawakan kinuha ng samsung ang pangalang ng phones nila. eto lang yan
      CHEAP PHONES = GALAXY SERIES
      CLASS/LUXURY PHONES = XPERIA SERIES

      Samsung Galaxy series looks cheap to me. you really have a bad taste for gadget.

    • Avatar for RaGe RaGe says:

      I used Samsung Galaxy for a while and yesterday I switched to Sony Ericsson Xperia…both of them are great…

      If you don’t like another brand’s offering just make sure you’ve already used one. If you did, respect others who uses it.

      In short, shut up fanboi.

    How about the battery life? X10i has only 6 hours worth of juice with 3G on.

    i guess mas okay na yung hindi napapalitan yung basta ma maintain lang yung 24-36 hours of heavy usage sakin sulit na yun kapag na reach ng isang smart phone yun. or 72 hours kapag medium usage. Kudos sa Sony. Almost perfect and Xperia S.

    Cool sana kaso internal ung batt, internal ung storage/memory, walang xenon flash pero oks lng. reasonable naman kasi kaka start lng nila sa mobile phone category from “SE” to “sony” and we all know thats theres no such thing as a perfect mobile phone… meron at meron pa ding hahanapin ang mga users na wala sa mga unit na i launch or available sa na market. ska marami namang mga taong pag ka ganda at mahal ng phone eh d naman na maximize ung pag gamit! tamang makapag yabang lang or so…

    just wonder kung magkano ang pricing pag available na sa pinas? kaya din pala bumaba ung price ng arc s to 16500 (W/O SE warranty)

    anyway.
    Thumbs Up ako sa Sony for this model and for the other one (Sony Ion)
