CES 2012 is under way in Las Vegas, and Sony has taken the opportunity to introduce their first Smartphone to be marketed solely under the Sony brand, the Sony Xperia S.



As with other Xperia devices, the Xperia S runs on the Android operating system, and is the first device in the new Xperia NXT series, the next generation of Sony smartphones.

The Sony Xperia S delivers a high quality 12.0 Megapixel camera, which can take pictures in just 1.5 seconds from standby mode, with a large, 4.3 inch high resolution display with Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine. The camera supports 1080p HD video recording, and there is a 1.3 Megapixel front facing camera, which as well as offering support for video calls can also record 720p HD video.



The Xperia S offers a wide variety of connection options, including support for DLNA and HDMI ports, plus high speed data transfer via WiFi and HSPA. The handset includes NFC, which is still a blossoming technology, promising easy cash payments and data transfer to other NFC enabled devices and data terminals.



With the Sony Xperia S, users will be able to share content across the Sony Entertainment Network, including songs from the Music Unlimited service, as well as movies and TV shows from Sony’s Video Unlimited. The Xperia S is also a Playstation certified device, which means it can play games designed for mobile which can be accessed via the Playstation Store.



Powered by a Dual Core 1.5 GHz processor, the Xperia S will launch running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, with plans to update the device to Android 4.0 during Q2 2012.
