Xperia Play
The highly anticipated devices that started leaking like a faucet half a year ago has finally been announced. This is an Android smartphone built for gaming. Other than the slick control pads, this is nothing special compared to the stars of CES. Games will run on a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and will be presented on a 854x480 4-inch screen. This device is obviously targeted to a small group of customers and games have yet to be proven to have full compatibility and run smoothly.The Xperia Play will be available in March off-contract or subsidized courtesy of Verizon in "early spring".
Xperia Neo
A solid device targeted at the mid-range market, the Xperia Neo has specs typical of a device from early last year but running 2.3 Gingerbread. Having a typical 1 GHz processor, an 8 megapixel camera, and a 3.7 inch WVGA screen puts it in direct contention with the likes of the Droid Incredible, and the HTC Desire. Unfortunately, those devices were released about a year ago and the Xperia Neo unfortunately becomes a mid-range device in 2011.
Xperia Pro
A complete secret until its announcement, the Xperia Pro is basically a Neo with a keyboard. As Neo is to Droid Incredible, Xperia is to Droid (or Droid 2) (albeit running Gingerbread). This one is also kinda late getting to the market with a 1GHz processor. We fully expected at least one dual core smartphone from Sony Ericsson this year. 'Twas not to be.
