MWC 2011- New Smartphone experience with Sony Ericsson

 In MWC 2011, Sony Ericsson introduced the most anticipated android phones in their history namely Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play,XPERIA Pro & XPERIA Neo.

Sony  Ericsson XPERIA Play

First ever PlayStation certified device that gives you immense gaming. Its the perfect combination of communication and entertainment.It runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Sony Ericsson believes it is the best smartphone eve.The PlayStation Suite brings the PlayStation experience to the Android platform. PlayStation quality gaming experience   to be available on Android devices. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play is the first PlayStation certified store.

This handset features a 4 inch capacitive multi-touch display, Android 2.3 Gingerbread) operatingsystem, 1 GHz Scorpion ARMv7 processor, Slide-out gaming keypad, 5 megapixel camera, Dedicated gaming keys, Gesture gaming, Motion gaming and more. Check out the official photos of the amazing Xperia Play smartphone below.

The Xperia Play looks like a really interesting device, but I'm still wondering why Sony didn't just go ahead and make the NGP a phone, subsidize it to a carrier (or carriers), and recoup some of the costs. 

The iPhone has become the mobile gaming platform to beat -- it seems like the Xperia Play is going to be a worse gaming platform than the NGP, and a worse phone OS than the iPhone. In what universe is this thing going to be successful.

 Sony Ericsson's Xperia Neo

 Sony Ericsson's Xperia Neo is a Multimedia phone like XPERIA Arc form factor in a 3.7 inch screen running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and specs are really a media core device.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo has athe following specifications:

• 116 x 57 x 13 mm, 126 grams
• 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor
• 3.7″  Capacitive TFT Touchscreen with Mobile BRAVIA Engine and 854x480 Pixels Resolution (Scratch Resistant)

If you look for very Android phone with  good camera and speedy 1Ghz processor device, then XPERIA Neo is best option in the current multimedia device 

category.  

Sony Ericsson XPERIA PRO

Xperia Pro is looks like the same form factor of XPERIA Mini pro with 

landscape slider.HD video, HDMI, Bravia Engine, Exmor R for mobile -- notice the trend. Slide-out QWERTY keyboard inspired by X10 Mini Pro.

MWC 2011- Samsung's Smartphone Slam - Samsung Galaxy S2 & Tablet 2

Samsung announced the successor to the Galaxy S today at the Samsung Unpacked event in Mobile World Congress 2011 at Barcelona. It is officially known as the Samsung Galaxy S II. Specs proved to the world that Samsung is a  true leader in display and hardware distributor for smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S II

• 4.27-inch 800 x 480Super AMOLED Plus display
• 8 megapixel primary camera with 1080p video capture accompanied by a 2 megapixel cam up front
•  TouchWiz 4.0, integrated NFC support
• 8.49mm thick, making it likely the thinnest smartphone ever to roll off , in fact, it's over 0.2mm slimmer than the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc's
• 1 GHz dual core processor, 
• 3D user interface, 
• HSPA+ connectivity, Bluetooth 3.0+HS, 
•  Android Market, Social Hub Premium, Readers Hub, Game Hub, Music Hub, Kies Air, NFC (Near Field Communication) and more.

Social Hub :

8 Mega pixel Camera with 1080p Full HD recording. Whoooww,,,,,,,,

Finally Samsung has gotten it. The phone looks gorgeous, specs are good, no more bump at the back, very thin. The only thing that bothers me is the form-factor. To me it seems too big for a phone. I don't like huge phones.

Looks good but being such a thin phone it probably means its got apathetic battery in it. The manufacturers inability to fit a sensible sized battery into a smart phone is the thing that gets more complaints than anything. I imagine with these specs it will be out of power in 6-8 hours if you used it a lot which isn't actually that smart. I still like it but would not buy it if the battery is crap.

Specs are way Better than original Galaxy S, but build quality is same, Crappy Cheap Plastic build. Looks like high end hardware in a cheap plastic box.

Rating : 8/10
