You could be forgiven for wondering why this should be news, but the fact is Sony Ericsson has been keeping their official cards close to their chest with their new hybrid smartphone.
However the manufacturer has now come clean and made the Xperia PlayStation official. That said the company is not completely spilling the beans as you will still have to wait for the official announcement on the 13th February when the Mobile World Congress takes place.
You might also be wondering what the fuss is about as much of the information about the Xperia PlayStation was leaked at successive intervals for the past 6 months or so. But for those who have had a sleep since then and forgotten what its specifications are then a quick rundown might be useful.
Features include Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon QSD8255 processor and a 4 inch 854 x 480 pixel touchscreen and an Adreno 205 GPU. There is also 512MB of RAM/ROM, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, dual-microphones (for noise reduction) and a microSD card slot.
The Xperia PlayStation is a hybrid smartphone combining mobile phone technology with Sony Ericsson’s well known PlayStation games technology.
The Xperia PlayStation is an Android device capable of running the Android 2.3 operating system.
Perhaps the only thing that isn’t yet known is whether any games will be pre-installed on the handset. The gaming facility itself is a slide-out with controls not dissimilar to those found with the original PlayStation.
