Sony Xperia SL is official!


Looks like a Sony employee accidentally published an official page for the upcoming Xperia SL, a week before Sony's pre-IFA show on the 29th August. The page leaked colour options, battery life statistics and of course, the specs. The Xperia SL is a refresh of the Xperia S, hopefully these changes make an impact.

So, the phone packs a 4.3-inch display with 720p HD resolution (720x1280), powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor clocked at 1.7GHz (up from 1.5GHz) with 1GB of RAM. Camera's include a 12.1-megapixel rear-facing camera and front-facing camera of unknown resolution for video calling. Internal storage will most likely be at 16GB/32GB with no option to expand it. The phone runs Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" as oppossed to the original Xperia S which ran Android 2.3 "Gingerbread".

Sony Xperia tablet leaks... [UPDATED]


Remember the Sony Tablet S with it's unique wedge design? Well, a successor may be on it's way soon. Today's leak includes a picture of the successor and some of it's specs. The tablet looks the same except it's thinner, now only 8.8mm thick making it 42 percent thinner than the Tablet S.

So, hardware. The Xperia tablet will pack the same 9.4-inch display with the same 800x1280 resolution, and may be powered by Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad-core processor at a clock speed of 1.3GHz and will be mated with 1GB of RAM. Camera's will be upgraded, the Xperia tablet will apparently sport a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1-megapixel front-facing camera. Battery capacity is said to be 6,000mAh which could double internet browsing duration over the Tablet S to around 10 hours.

We'll just have to wait and see what Sony eventually brings to the market, prices start at $399.99 for the 16GB version going up to $599.99 for the 64GB version respectively. The tablet is expected to be revealed at Sony's pre-IFA show on August 29th and come to market in September.

[UPDATE: More specs and a press photo leaked!]

Sony Xperia LT30 will be marketed as Xperia T...


We saw a Sony device known as "LT30" get bluetooth certified, now the device has been given a DLNA certificate and is believed to be marketing with the name of "Sony Xperia T", this is believable considering the way Sony is naming their devices these days.

If you remember, the only specs that were leaked told us that  the Xperia T/LT30 packed a 4.6-inch 720p display, 13-megapixel camera and ran Android 4.0. Although by the time it reaches the market, it could be running Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean".

The device has a primary 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a HD front-facing camera for video calling. It has 16GB of internal storage with a MicroSD card slot to expand it by up to 32GB.

Android + X-Box + PS Vita = DROID X360

The DROID X360 is one of those devices that is a cheap knock-off of a device, but nevertheless does a good job. This device takes the design of a PS Vita which features a 5-inch screen, includes Android 4.0 and well, it has to be one of the best I've seen.

As I've said the device features a 5-inch display that has a resolution of 480x800, the device is powered by a singe-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 512MB of RAM. The device has 8GB of internal memory that can be expanded using the MicroSD card. The device even has two cameras, a 2-megapixel rear-facer and a 0.3-megapixel front-facer for video calling. The device runs Android 4.0, has a 2,800mAh battery and has pre-installed emulators out of the box.

The legality of the product being sold in this country besides China is out of the question however, you may be able to import one but be careful as loads of people have reported being scammed by sellers.

Sony LT30 leaks, bluetooth certified...

An not yet announced Sony device has made it's way onto a official Bluetooth certification page. The device sporting the codename "LT30" brings along with it some very impressive specs including a 720p display and 13MP camera.

The exact specs indicate the device will pack a 4.6-inch display with 720p resolution (720x1280), the device's processor hasn't been leaked. The rear-facing camera on the device is 13-megapixels with compatibility to record in 1080p, this camera is accompanied by a 720p capable front-facing camera.

So far the device sounds great, and what ever CPU is featured in this phone has it's work cut out. If I were to take a guess as to what CPU may be featured, I'd say a dual-core processor, unless they surprise us with a quad-core which is more than welcome.
