Sony has announced a new Android handset dubbed as the Xperia VL exclusive to the Japanese market. The device is set to be launched before years end and will come with an LTE chip for fast speeds. Here's what else you can expect with the Xperia LV:
- 4.3″ HD Reality Display screen, powered by Mobile Bravia Engine 2
- 13 MP fast-capture camera with new shooting modes; Superior Auto feature, enabling low-light snapping and Picture Effect that lets you preview snaps using different effects
- High levels of dust and water resistance
- Sony’s signature tune-tech, including ClearAudio+ mode that lets you effortlessly enjoy audio quality
- Sony’s media applications (WALKMAN® application, Album application and Movies application)
- Ships running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich
- NFC enabled
- Arc design
For me it's disappointing that Sony chose to launch this phone with Android ICS rather than Jelly Bean, especially since it's not evne launching until later towards the end of the year. Either way the phone seems like a great mid-range Android phone and a great portable media device.
