Sony Xperia S

Sony’s latest Xperia offerings aren’t lacking in style, and they are serviceable in the hardware department as well.

Now a representative [...]

Critically acclaimed director Wes Anderson isn’t new to commercials. He isn’t new to stop-motion animation either (see The Fantastic Mr. Fox). But a new TV spot for Sony marks the first time Anderson has dabbled in the medium for the smaller screen. The cutesy commercial was inspired by Anderson’s discussions with children on how they [...]

The Sony Xperia S is now shipping globally and should be available from retailers and carriers shortly. Dubbed “first Sony smartphone” in a blog post making the announcement, the Xperia S was unveiled at CES and is among the first from the company to ship after their acquisition of Ericsson.

Where most Android OEM’s tend to shy away from Android developers looking to tinker around with their code, Sony has long been known to welcome devs with open arms, allowing those — with the proper know how — to tinker around with their devices at their leisure. Keeping with their current track record, Sony has [...]

eopaWhile the Sony Xperia S is currently available to a very limited amount of people (it was launched to the Barcelona public during Mobile World Congress), Sony is already at work to fix bugs and iron out kinks. They’ve issued a new software upgrade for the device, version 6.0.A.3.67. Of course, it’s not Ice Cream [...]

Sony had quite an eventful day, today at MWC. After announcing its upcoming smartphone launches, new devices and plans for the future, we can say that we have great expectations for the company, this year. But there is also a bit of good news for those that are interested in smartphone computing. Sony has also [...]

Some of you might be eyeing Sony’s new Xperia S; It is a good device. We got a chance to check it out at CES, but none of us got to see the original packaging. And if you are into unboxing videos, this will be a good 2:23 minutes to spend your time on. Set [...]

Sony’s Xperia S, introduced earlier this year at CES alongside the Xperia Ion, Xperia NX and Xperia Acro HD, might have a new name by the time of it’s launch in March. The company filed for a trademark for the name "Xperia Sola" with the USPTO. While Sola might be a completely different device from [...]

The Sony Xperia S has made the prerequisite visit to the FCC en route to release and had all sorts of connectivity in two. The handset’s quad-band GMS/EDGE radio was put through its paces on the 850/900/1900/2100 UMTS bands along with HSPA, RFID, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and GPS. We also can’t forget [...]

This phone just continues to get better and better. The Sony Xperia S — which is currently #1 on my “sexiest phone of 2012″ — is proving that it’s not just a 1-trick pony. PocketPC.ch has revealed a couple of new, less talked about features being introduced on the device that will help set it apart [...]

It looks like we may be seeing a release of the Xperia S much sooner than we originally thought. It was first believed that the device wouldn’t be here until later in the quarter – March to be specific – but UK retailer Play.com’s listing for the device says that it will be coming January [...]

Sony has officially announced the Xperia Ion (headed to AT&T) and Xperia S (no US carrier) and we had to get some hands-on time with both those devices. Thankfully, a Sony rep was able to accommodate us, giving us a quick run down of both devices in the process. Just like those 2 sexy sisters [...]

Now we have the pleasure of being introduced to the second Android smartphone to ditch the Ericsson portion of its name.
