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.
Nice one Sony.. taob lahat ng phone manufacturers nung ni Launched ang Xperia S at Xperia Ion paano kase lahat ng phones ng samsung, htc etc. magkakamukha o kamukha ng 2011 series nila. Unlike Sony Xperia 2012 Design and specs is indeed different from Xperia 2011. This is my next phone sana kapareho lang ng Xperia Arc S ang price kapag naging available na to sa pinas.
the phone I’ve been dreaming of all along. and now from one of my fave manufacturers. the specs are the highest one can get AON, just adding a xenon flash will make it perfect. but then again it might affect the battery consumption, considering android itself consumes power a lot by nature.
I miss the SE branding though. I kinda hate the very technical appeal of SONY logo.
Will SE phones get ICS update? I mean Sony.
Perfect specs resembling iPhone’s design and irreplaceable battery. Kudos!
Sir Yuga, just to correct, Sony did not split up with Ericsson. Sony bought out the remaining stake of Ericsson at their joint venture, hence, future products will carry the company name Sony.

On topic: The phone looks lovely!
Also called Sony Ericsson Xperia Nozomi or Sony Ericsson Arc HD, I guess Yuga did not research very well about this unit’s other name. By the time they release this unit, Apple Iphone 5 will arrived this 2012. So better save now your hard earned money for a brandnew cellphone either Sony or Apple. You decide.
Why would yuga research about its RUMORED names??? When Sony itself has officially stated its name as Xperia S. I really don’t see the point.
did they really split? (sony and ericsson) according to other sites, sony bought ericsson’s shares
IMHO, maganda sana, 12MP camera, HD video-capture, superb multimedia/gaming capabilities pero no expansion slot?not gorilla glass yung display ata.di ma-remove yung battery. and I think that grey band at the bottom looks ridiculous and will often be mistaken as buttons. I’ll pass.
The transparent area houses the antenna. Please do a research first before commenting that the part is ridiculous. Talk about innovation.
@GUEST
FYI, I knew that that gray translucent/see-through band has something to do with the antenna. So yes, I did my homework before making that comment. I was talking about the ‘design’ and not the it’s ‘function’. It kinda ruins the phone’s aesthetics. Like a rubber band on a sexy phone that I want to remove. If you’re OK with that, errr, fine.Each his own. But, you’re the one who should do a little research over a comment first before trying to be smart.
@JYEAH-R If you are a boy you are a FAGGOT, if you are a girl you are Ms. Know it all
@Rjay
mmmpphahayyyzpppzzz…here comes another one of those losers who you call you names just because they don’t know sh*t.I don’t it all mate!, I JUST KNOW BETTER THAN YOU!!! OUCH.Not my fault.
‘If I were I ‘BOY’, I’m a Faggot’?–doesn’t make sense mate.that all you got?. BTW, keep guessing about my gender mate, I’m enjoying it.
One more thing, you’re definitely a boy and you’re definitely a QUEER.
@Rjay,
oh and it’s ‘know-it-all’ mate :)
I’m just wondering why they always put S in every phones name, is that how they imitate iphone, from design to name??? :D
I knew it, people didn’t realize things till apple does it. Now, the concept of adding the letter S to a product’s name suddenly becomes novel and innovative.
takte! ang angas talaga ng cellphones ng SONY!!! basta pagdating sa design, stand-out ang sony! i dont really like super thin gadgets… well btw lahat naman ng cellphone ngaun manipis na eh. pagka kasi sobrang nipis masakit sa kamay ang tulis haha. pero ito astig talaga! tapos 12mp pa. takte hahaha. gusto ko talga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hmmm… why is the battery not removable/.
Bec. it sports a fast charging feature that can fully charge the battery in just about 10 minutes.
techgasm!!
can’t wait to buy this next year (pag half na price! hahha)
Wala talagang tatalo sa Sony pagdating sa design. Super Sleek .. LIKE !
ang ganda! 12MP ang camera, sayang lang dahil walang compass, gusto ko sana may compass.
SUPERB!
