Sony announces the Xperia P: Aluminum unibody, shipping Q2
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyXperia P
Sony's press event is in full swing, and the first to arrive is the Xperia P. The phone follows on from the styling we saw on the Xperia S; but it looks likely to be the middle child, with a similar Sony-themed skin atop what appears to be Gingerbread Android, still housing dual-core power under the hood. Previously known as the Nyphon, the Xperia P has a 4-inch "WhiteMagic" display encased in an aluminum unibody. This new screen technology is apparently geared toward outdoor viewing, with NFC, HDMI connectivity and an 8-megapixel camera with full HD video capability. It will also be gifted with its own incoming SmartDock, which is set to arrive alongside the phone. And that's going to be pr...

More images of the Sony Xperia U surface
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
The Sony Xperia U by now is not a secret - we’ve heard about it under its codename Kumquat, and now pictures of the smaller cousin to the Sony Xperia S have surfaced. The Xperia U looks nothing short of a downsized Xperia S.
The pictures below compare the 3.5-inch Xperia U, also known under its model name of ST25i, against the 4.3-inch Xperia S LT26i. As you can see yourself, the handset features the Identity design typical for the new wave of Sony handsets.
The Xperia U is expected to pack a 1GHz dual-core processor, a 3.5” screen with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels and two cameras: a rear 5-megapixel camera and a front-facing one.

PlayStation Certified HTC devices rumored for second half of 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyHTC
PlayStation certification for mobile devices has been an exclusively Sony-only affair up to this point, but today Pocket-lint is reporting that HTC will break that monopoly in the latter half of 2012. Citing sources in the know, the site suggests HTC will get approval to slap PlayStation Certified stickers on its products later in the year, though it's not entirely clear if that will apply retrospectively to devices already released or only to brand new ones. There's also no way to yet know if we're talking about future smartphones, tablets, or both.

Sony redesigns back-lit CMOS for improved smartphone cameras
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasCell PhonesSony
Sony has developed CMOS designs to offer improved performance on small sensors and is planning three such sensors for smartphones and similar devices. The 'Stacked CMOS' design builds on the backlit CMOS idea by building the light-sensitive photo element on top of the processing circuitry, rather than combining them in a single layer. This creates a greater light-sensitive area while also making more space for processing circuitry. The company has also demonstrated two feaures that use the extra circuitry space of the design.
The first of these features is what Sony is calling RGBW Coding, which appears to be another attempt at including clear (white) pixels in the sensor's color filter arra...

Leaked Sony 2012 smartphone roadmap reveals potentially birdy, minty flagships
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
Grab a bowl of salt and start pinching, folks. A sales report for Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications India is floating around the internet that's purportedly packing a list of 2012's planned handsets along with suggested pricing. The 11-strong list is in Rupees, and whilst we've reproduced it in full above, it's worth bearing in mind that cellphones in the "developing world" (no offense intended) are often more expensive than the equivalent handset in the US (the 16GB iPhone 4S, for example costs $650 in the US but $882 in India).

Sony's upcoming Nypon handset to feature its WhiteMagic display with 1000 nits of brightness?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
The Sony Ericsson LT22i "Nypon" prototype that was leaked a while ago, is seemingly coming with Sony's new "WhiteMagic" display tech, if this new spec leak below is to be believed. Sony's upcoming Nypon handset to feature its WhiteMagic display with 1000 nits of brightness? Coming at qHD resolution with the Nypon, the WhiteMagic screen technology's main virtue lies in its 1000 nits of brightness in "outdoor mode", as much as the brightest mobile display out there, on the Nokia 701. Also, Sony claims that in regular mode, the display draws half of the juice that conventional LCDs usually do, which should do some wonders for the battery life on the Nypon. The handset was also pictured recently...

Sony Xperia NX and Xperia acro HD Android smartphones announced for Japan
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
Aside from the Xperia ion and Xperia S, Sony Ericsson also announced two additional devices, though for the Japanese market – Xperia NX and Xperia acro HD.
The former is basically a local version of the Xperia S, while the latter is a follow-up to the Xperia acro that comes with that awesome 720p Reality Display, as well as Japan-specific features such as infrared port data exchange, mobile wallet and mobile TV.Both the Xperia NX and Xperia acro HD will be available in Japan from this spring.Now you should forget about these two if you live outside of the Land of the rising Sun — Sony will sell them in its own backyard only. That’s not a problem though, since the other two phones (Xperia ion...

Sony Xperia S has PlayStation certification and 720p display, available this quarter
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSonyXperia S
One of Sony's inaugural batch of Sony-branded phones, the Xperia S is the device that had been rumored over the last few weeks as the Nozomi with a 4.3-inch 720p display. Today it's been officially announced, and the specs are designed to impress: besides the gap-free laminated Reality Display, the Xperia S features a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, a 12-megapixel Exmor R camera sensor, NFC support, PlayStation certification, and a unique "transparent element" along the bottom that offsets the solid black face. On paper, the phone is quite similar to AT&T's Xperia Ion — also announced today — but it lacks the Ion's LTE support (a sign of its European focus) and uses a slightly smaller display.
