Sony's new UXP NXT UI appears on video for Sony Xperia S

A leaked video of the Sony Xperia S shows off the manufacturer's new UI which is being called UXP NXT. There are major changes to Timescape, the gallery and the music player and a new lock screen is also revealed. Among the features of the UI shown on the video is an FM Radio, the device's set-up guide, and a calculator similar to the one on iOS, that turns from basic features to a scientific calculator in landscape mode.

The Sony Xperia S runs on Android 2.3 and is expected to be launched in Europe early next month. An update to Android 4.0 should take place shortly afterward. The Sony Xperia S is armed with a special coating to repel dirt, and a fast charging battery system and its cousin, the Sony Xperia ion, is expected to hit the States via a launch by AT&T. That event should take place at the end of the current quarter.

Sony will be cooking up some Alphabet Soup at the end of this month as the Sony Xperia S, Sony Xperia P and Sony Xperia U are all expected to strut their stuff in Barcelona at MWC 2012. And of course, we will be there providing you with the most complete and up-to-date coverage of the expo.
