Sony Xperia S repels dirt and recharges fast
Dirt should bounce off the Sony Xperia S

Dirt should bounce off the Sony Xperia S

The Sony Xperia S
captured a lot of attention and hearts at the CES 2012 in Las Vegas. And with the 12MP camera on back and the 1.3MP camera upfront, the unit has your photography needs covered. You want 1080p HD video capture? You got it! The 4.3 inch 720p screen has a nice 342ppi for crisp images. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 processor, and 1GB of RAM is aboard. Android 2.3 is pre-installed.

What wasn't listed with the specs is the fact that Sony told Swiss web site PocketPC.ch that thanks to the phone's "UV-active nano-coating," the Sony Xperia S repels dirt and also protects the device from the everyday wear and tear that a smartphone faces. Another feature on the Sony Xperia S is the improved lithium-polymer technology that allows the device to charge in half the time of a regular battery. Just 10 minutes of charging time will get the Xperia S up and running for 1 hour.

The Sony Xperia S will be launched overseas in the second week of March with its U.S. cousin, the Sony Xperia Ion, rolling out in the second quarter.

Aw, damn internet. I can't tell is that was sarcasm or not, but... I believe the Sony Kumquat fulfills your wishes.

And Sony reveals even more information that makes the Xperia S a better smartphone.

Beats galaxy s3.
While you people are hungry for big processors. Which is the only thing the galaxy s3 will be superior in But the other specs will be almost the same.
for me this device is uber cause of dot switch. And ice screen sandwich its made for dual core not quad core.
Sony is smart.
Its like playing playstation 1 game on playstation 3.
Love sony. Don't bring quad crap until jelly bean.

you do know that chances are that the mint1 will be coming out with quad core this September right? And Jelly bean most likely won't be out by then either.

How does it beat the Galaxy S3... you don't even know the specs of the phone, or what it looks like.

"ice screen sandwich" ... no quad cores on ICS eh? Nice to know you aren't a programmer or hardware developer.

I'd love to see you face when your XS will be lagging in front of the GSIII..

25. RamyRamz69 posted on 27 Jan 2012, 16:28 2

Boom guess what, the Xperia S has a better processor than the S2 which doesn't lagg. Both phones won't lagg, get over it. What is the difference between the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S? Nothing really in terms of software because both don't lagg even though one of them is a single core.

shut up and take my money!!

The battery life sounds like that of the 3GS. It charged quickly, but discharged just as quickly!

14. torr310 posted on 27 Jan 2012, 02:10 1

hurry up Sony! Bring it to us ASAP!

okay now.. wtf is wrong with guys at Sony?!?
they make a brilliant quality piece of hardware with some BREAKTHROUGH technology and don't market it at all!!
imagine what would apple marketing do if they had these features!
