Sony Mobile announced two new devices today, the Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia E.
The Sony Xperia T2 Ultra is the one we’re most interested in. This is a 6″ HD TRILUMINOS™ Display at 720 x 1280 resolution driven by a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm MSM8928 which is the battery sipping quad core cousin in the Snapdragon 400 family we’ve seen making the rounds lately. For memory, Sony is using 1GB of RAM, with 8GB onboard memory and expandable microSD slot supporting another 32GB of storage.
While the silicone under the hood is a step back from the Xperia Z Ultra, the camera is leaps forward. The Xperia T2 Ultra is notable for carrying a 13 megapixel rear shooter with Sony Exmor RS® and, drum roll please, an LED flash! Also rounding one of the other areas that Sony had fallen a little short are the side bezels which have been slimmed to 2.5MM leaving a device about as wide as a credit card.
The Xperia T2 will be available in black, white and purple in single and dual SIM versions along with the SCR14 which is a slim fitting smart cover stand. Unfortunately, the Xperia T2 Ultra was designed for Asian and African markets, so we probably will not get to see this reach the U.S. Here’s to hoping that changes in the near future.
Next up is the Sony Xperia E1, a midrange music focused handset with twist. We have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 1.2 GHz Dual Core processor, 512 MB RAM and 4 inch (233 ppi) display combined with a large 1700 mAh battery.
The real news is on the back of the E1, a 100Db loud-speaker that can pump out music from the Walkman app that can be launched from a dedicated Walkman key. It also feature shake to shuffle and hardware controls for easy music control and Sony is throwing in 30 days of streaming music from Sony Entertainment Network.
The Xperia E1 will be coming to Asian markets in black white or purple with single and dual SIM models available.
