Sony Xperia J, V and T Launched

Sony pulled the wraps off of three new Android smartphones. Called the Xperia T, Xperia V, and Xperia J, each device will range in capabilities with the T being top dog and the V and J following behind.

The Xperia T was launched earlier this month.

With a 4.6-inch screen offering an HD resolution and 13MP camera, the Xperia T is definitely meant as Sony’s new flagship handset. The phone is also powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, will connect to LTE 4G and have NFC (Near Field Communication) technology on board. At launch the Xperia T will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Similar to the Xperia T, the Sony Xperia V shares the same 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 13MP camera, Ice Cream Sandwich OS and NFC technology, although it sports a slightly smaller, 4.3-inch screen (720p HD Reality Display) and fatter 10.7mm chassis.

The Sony Xperia J is being pitched as an affordable smartphone with a 4-inch, TFT 480 x 854 display at the heart of things. It also features a 5MP rear camera (with 4x digital zoom and LED flash) and a front-facing VGA snapper for video calls on the Sony Xperia J, along with a 1GHz processor, 4GB of internal storage and Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Sony Xperia J previewed, official unveiling to come soon

The upcoming Sony Xperia J was given the hands-on treatment for an extensive preview ahead its supposed announcement later this month.

The Xperia J is one more model in Sony’s onslaught of new devices that it brought forth until now and will continue to until the end of this year. The Xperia J is a lower-midrange offering, with a 4-inch 480×854 touchscreen, 1 GHz single-core processor.

The battery is said to be a 1700mAh unit, which should provide a decent level of battery life given the reduced screen size and the same entry-level processor as the Xperia Tipo. RAM is set at 512MB. There is also a microSD card slot hiding away under the battery on the Xperia J.

The rear camera is a 5MP shooter with an LED flash, but apparently only shoots video at a pretty dreary 640×480. There is also a front facing camera, but nothing is said of it’s specs. Given the rear camera, we’re not expecting a lot from it.

The Xperia J is at least running Android 4.0 out of the box.

Galaxy Note 2 Teaser Out

Samsung has teased its second generation phablet, the Galaxy Note 2 in an online video that pretty much confirms its launch at IFA in Berlin next week. The video doesn’t show the device in full, or name-check it, but we do see the S-Pen in action.

“When magical moments come alive, everything becomes an inspiration,” says the video. Then the S-Pen is drawn out of the device, and we see it clicking and drawing on the Note 2’s screen.

Before the video closes, a statement reads, “On August 29 Berlin, your magic moments will come alive”.

Galaxy Note 2 Bezel Leak

Two weeks left for the Galaxy Note 2 Unpacked event, and after a rumoured picture of the “Phablet” came up yesterday, another one, this time a Bezel, has come up today!

In addition to showing us what a small bezel on the Galaxy Note 2 looks like, the image above also seems to confirm the fact that the new phablet’s display will be 0.2-inch longer than its predecessor, just as currently rumored. The use of a smaller bezel is surely a reason for Samsung’s rumored decision to go with a 5.5-inch Galaxy Note 2 instead of the regular 5.3-inch panel used by its predecessor.

Stay tuned, for we will be covering IFA 2012 Live from Berlin.
