Overview of Sony Xperia S (White)
This product is no longer available. As an alternative, please see Sony Xperia S black.
The Xperia S marks the first phone that Sony has produced since its merger with Sony Ericsson. The powerful handset features a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Demonstrating Sony's prowess with all things visual, the 4.3" Reality Display pumps out crisp, vibrant visuals at an impressive 1280 x 720p resolution and the 12MP Exmor R sensor camera takes stunning photos within a swift 1.5 seconds of coming out of standby.
The handset features a striking 'Iconic Identidy' design which can be seen across the other members of the Xperia NXT series; the Xperia P and the Xperia U. The 'Iconic Identity' design features an illuminated transparent strip towards the bottom of the phone which gives a very distinctive look compared to the competition.
With this handset, Sony have really focused on being able to integrate your mobile device into all aspects of your life. The phone comes with a micro HDMI port to easily connect to a TV. The neat thing with this is that you can then control the device using your television's remote control. Click here to check out our demo with a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S.
The Xperia S is also designed to work with a number of new Sony Accessories including the Sony Smart Tags, Smart Watch and Smart Wireless Headset pro.
Click here for a more detailed explanation and demo video of how the Xperia S can work with the Smart Tags.
As well as everything mentioned above, Sony have somehow also managed to pack Bluetooth, GLONASS and GPS navigation systems, DLNA support, WiFi and pretty much everything else you could wish for into a slim and stylish package.
