Now part of Sony, Sony Mobile Communications
showcases the new Xperia NXT series of smartphones, including the flagship Xperia S and the new additions Xperia P and Xperia U.
Xperia P and Xperia U will be available
globally in the second quarter of this year.
In addition, Xperia S, the ultimate HD smartphone, is now shipping to markets across the globe, with first sales in the Sony Style store in Barcelona during Mobile World Congress.
The new smartphones have intriguing design
features including the "transparent element", a band that
encircles the base of the phone and also integrates
invisible antenna components. The transparent element
illuminates when receiving calls, texts and
notifications.
The new User Interface (UI) follows the same design
principles and enhances the Android experience -
offering applications and content with a simple and
clean look. A new album, video player and music player
will deliver entertainment experiences and
the new UI design also allows users to access their
favourite application direct from the lock-screen.
Xperia P and Xperia U boast Reality Display powered by
Mobile BRAVIA Engine for clarity, along with
fast capture to take the camera from sleep to snap in a
little over a second with a single key press. Both
smartphones come with 1 GHz dual-core processors.
As with Xperia S, Xperia P and Xperia U offer access to the Sony Entertainment Network. Out of the box, users can watch the latest Hollywood blockbusters on Video
Unlimited or listen to songs through Music Unlimited.
With a full aluminium unibody design, Xperia P debuts
WhiteMagic display technology from Sony for the first
time on a smartphone. Sony claims that WhiteMagic technology delivers the brightest viewing experience; whether at the beach or on the ski slopes. Smart power efficiency automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to the surroundings to conserve battery life.
The new SmartDock, exclusively for Xperia P, offers
simple connectivity to multiple screens, turning the
smartphone into an entertainment hub for the living room.
Using a TV remote control users can navigate
their smartphone?s media content to watch their HD
videos, the latest movies or favourite TV shows on the
big screen. With USB support in the SmartDock, they can
also use a wireless keyboard and mouse to write emails,
browse and post on Facebook or watch videos from YouTube
on their TV.
Xperia P features
- 4" Reality Display with powered by Mobile BRAVIA
Engine.
- WhiteMagic display technology for brighter
and power efficient viewing experience.
- 1 GHz dual-core processor with 16GB flash storage.
- 8MP camera with fast capture, HD recording and
Sony technology to capture 2D and 3D panoramic images.

with an aluminium unibody.
- Launches on Android platform 2.3 (Gingerbread),
upgrade to Android platform 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
during the second quarter of 2012.
The Xperia U combines Sony entertainment in a
compact design. With xLoud and Sony 3D surround sound
audio technology integrated into the music player,
users will enjoy a loud sound experience.
They can also stream music from their Xperia U to
wireless speakers with a touch using DLNA.
In Xperia U the transparent element illuminates to match
the colour of photos viewed in the gallery or the album
art of music tracks currently playing. Xperia U can also
be personalised with exchangeable caps.
Users listening to music on their Xperia U can also
enjoy improved sound quality with the new Smart
Headset for Android smartphones, which features SmartKey
- a dedicated application launch key that consumers press
once to launch a favourite app.
