t week,
Sony
announced
the
availability of
two new
mobile
phones on the
airwaves of
wireless carrier NTT DOCOMO in
Japan, namely Sony Xperia GX and
Sony Xperia SX.
The handset vendor said at the time
that these two smartphones were
meant exclusively for the Japanese
market, but it appears that it might
have changed its mind.
As can be seen in the videos
embedded below, in addition to the
officially unveiled Xperia GX model
which sports NTT DOCOMO ’s logo on
the front, Sony also showcased
another variant of the device, without
carrier’s branding.
Rumor has it that this might be the
international flavor of the
smartphone, especially since it
featured an English Android 4.0.4
ROM, though no official confirmation
on this has emerged.
However, it would not come as a
surprise if things indeed proved to be
this way, since Sony did similar moves
in the past as well.
Chances are that the main hardware
specs of the smartphone will remain
unchanged from the Japanese flavor,
but its software capabilities might be
changed a bit.
Sony unveiled the Xperia GX with a
4.6-inch Reality Display powered by
Mobile BRAVIA Engine and capable of
delivering an HD resolution, as well as
with a 1.5GHz dual-core application
processor for faster performance.
Moreover, the
company
packed it with
16GB of
internal
storage and
with 1GB of
RAM, while including WiFi, and
Bluetooth connectivity inside it, along
with GPS receiver and the full set of
sensors.
On the back, the Xperia GX sports a
13MP camera with Sony Exmor R for
mobile, HD video recording, and Sony
technology to take 3D panoramic
images.
The smartphone runs under Google’s
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
operating system and will hit shelves
all dressed up in White or Black.
NTT DOCOMO is expected to launch
this handset sometime this summer
and the International version might
arrive at that time or soon after.
Hopefully, it won’t be too long before
Sony makes a formal announcement
on this.
