Sony Ericsson unveils Xperia Play, Neo and Pro Android handsets
Sony Ericsson has today unveiled three new Android smartphones, introducing the new Xperia Neo, the Xperia Pro and finally confirming the Xperia Play.
The Xperia Play, also known as the PlayStation Phone, will launch in March, hitting the market as the first official PlayStation Certified device. It has a 4-inch FWVGA display with a 480 x 854 resolution, 5.1 megapixel camera, 8GB microSD memory card, with 400MB of internal memory.
Powered by a 1 GHz Scorpion ARMv7 processor, the Xperia Play will run Google’s Gingerbread Android operating system, weighing 175 grams and will come in either black or white.
The device will be not ship with the PlayStation Suite, we expected that way back when Sony announced it would be available by the end of the year. Instead, Sony Ericsson will preload the device with one PlayStation One title – problem is, we don’t know what this is.
Twenty game publishers have partnered with Sony Ericsson to launch games specifically for the Xperia Play, including Gameloft, Electronic Arts and Blue Mobile.
The Xperia Pro, a surprise at this evenings event, will combine a touch screen experience with a slide-out keyboard, sitting somewhere in between the Xperia Play and the newly released Xperia Neo.
The Pro is powered by a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon™ MSM8255 processor and will have a 3.7 inch display with a 854 x 480 resolution. Google’s Gingerbread operating system is in attendance and the device features 320MB internal memory with a 8GB microSD card. The Xperia Pro will support up to 32GB.
The device will come in three colours: Black, Silver and Red.
The Xperia Neo is the smaller, touchscreen-only equivalent of the Xperia Pro.
The Neo will be powered by a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon™ MSM8255 processor and will have a 3.7 inch display with a 854 x 480 resolution. Google’s Gingerbread operating system is in attendance and the device features 320MB internal memory with a 8GB microSD card. The Xperia Pro will support up to 32GB.

NVIDIA says quad-core processors are coming to smartphones in the near future
Maybe you aren’t impressed by the speeds of the current generation of smartphones It’s also possible that video yesterday of LG’s dual-core Tegra 2 smartphone or rumors of AT&T’s first dual-core smartphone didn’t resonate with you, you’ll be happy to know that devices with quad-core processors are coming up in the “near future.”
At least according to Tegra 2 maker, NVIDIA.
Yesterday, NVIDIA released a whitepaper that talks about the benefits of multi-core CPUs inside of mobile devices. Deep within that PDF file is a one sentence line that reads:
As Android and Me points out, NVIDIA has already said that a new Tegra would be out every single year and that the Tegra 3 is almost finished and the Tegra 4 is already being developed. Of course, NVIDIA doesn’t elaborate on what “near future” means exactly however because devices are going to be rolling out with dual-core processors as soon as Q1 rolls around, we very well could see a quad-core smartphone towards the end of 2011.
So, we have to ask.
How many of you just put a quad-core, LTE enabled smartphone on your 2011 wish list?
