The Xperia S is Sony's newest flagship Android phone. It will initially ship with Android 2.3.7 with a promised upgrade to Android 4.0. It incorporates a 4.3-inch, 720p screen with a 1.5GHz Qualcomm dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor. The main camera is Sony's best, carrying a 12-megapixel sensor with 1080p video recording and a 16x digital zoom. The phone also has NFC on-board. For positioning, the Xperia S will support both GPS and the Russia-made GLONASS. A unique feature of the smartphone is its ability to run PlayStation Suite games, which will be available through the phone's own dedicated store.
