Sony also launched their new smartphone, the Sony Xperia S. It runs in Android 2.3 with a 4.3-inch HD Display, slender form-factor, dual-core 1.5GHz processor and NFC capabilities. Release date will be on the 2nd quarter of 2012.
Sony is making a lot of noise about its four screens strategy -- which is business speak for "we're making TVs, laptops, tablets and smart phones now". This means it's pushing integration between the devices. For instance, if you own a Sony TV, you can use the Xperia S as a remote control. The S also has an HDMI port to hook up to a TV, and when you do so, a launcher pops up letting you play media from your phone on the big screen.
