Sony Xperia Lotus: first rumors about it

Sony is once again “by the manufacturer spendthrift” in the sense that the bread on its future devices are easily revealed to the public well before they arrive: we already talked about Xperia GX and SX, of the ST26i and Tapioca, today we will be concerned Sony Xperia Lotus, papabile successor resistant Xperia Active (picture).

We are in the mid-market, one that will make you jump out of the chair but, as appropriate, is interpreted by various manufacturers in a way also profoundly different. In the case of Lotus notes speak of the few specific NovaThor CPU 1 Ghz dual-core, of unknown size but display resolution 854 x 480 and Android 2.3 (but we very much hope that things will change before we see it in stores).

The smartphone Sony Xperia Lotus should also be present in two variants, codenamed ST27i and ST27a, whose only difference is that the global version will be the first and the second will be branded AT & T.

Obviously, there are still several pieces of the puzzle, but we are not complaining too much, we are sure that Sony will miss something else soon, and we will be here to review it Sony Xperia Lotus.

Sony Xperia S: Ice Cream Sandwich for late May / early June

Sony Xperia S – April was a good month for updates to the latest official release of Android, or Ice Cream Sandwich, but the list of devices to be upgraded is still long.

After updating the Galaxy Note that we have reported, Fortunately the month of May is also great news for owners of Sony Xperia S: the news comes straight from a Sony employee through the official support forum, which indicates that the date of issue late May or early June, labeling the rumors as speculation the release postponed to July.

Sony Xperia Tapioca ST21i, new images (former) Sony Ericsson logo

Laying back for the camera ST21i Sony, otherwise known as Sony Xperia Tapioca (for now), little evidence that Ice Cream Sandwich is not the prerogative of the multi-core smartphone and Sony Ericsson as the logo is hard to die.

The new images that you find at the end of this article portray a prototype model that just because the logo SE now absent in newer Sony devices, may be quite dated. Moreover, while the presence of Ice Cream Sandwich is heartening, the other his performances are still to be verified.

Therefore briefly recall with whom we deal of Sony Xperia Tapioca:

     * Display 3.2-inch HVGA (320 x 480)

     * Qualcomm MSM7227 800MHz CPU with GPU Adreno 200

     * 512 MB ​​of RAM

     * 3 megapixel camera with flash

     * Battery 1,460 mAh

     * Android 4.0 preinstalled

The short Sony Xperia Tapioca itself is not surprising nor for providing hardware, nor the price that would orbit around 200 € (a little ‘more than we expected, and still to be confirmed): The biggest question mark about him is precisely the goodness of the experience of using Android 4 on a relatively low-end hardware, but we have to wait to answer some more. For now be content with his new image of Sony Xperia Tapioca.

Sony Tapioca: first images of it Sony ST21i

It was quite a bit of time that we heard about the Sony ST21i, otherwise known as Sony Tapioca, but today is definitely an off day in the house Sony, who stays silent for a while’ time and then we shall return upon him all together . The new smaller Japanese company has in fact now face a very compact and “ciccioso”. (you can say or is unprofessional?)

The smartphone Sony Tapioca was and will remain an entry-level, with three capacitive buttons, located on the raised part of the phone, with a design that somewhat resembles the Xperia Sun, though with more rounded lines and certainly without Floating Touch.

The specifications of this Sony Tapioca are in fact consistent with its location:

     * Display 3.2-inch HVGA (320 x 480)

     * Qualcomm MSM7227 800MHz CPU with GPU Adreno 200

     * 512 MB ​​of RAM

     * 3 megapixel camera with flash

     * Battery 1,460 mAh

     * Android 4.0 preinstalled

So it will also be an entry-level, but the tapioca does not miss much (just the absence of the flash could possibly be avoided) and at a reasonable price could become an excellent entry point into the Android world.
