After starting line NXT remained free place of last year's series - Arc. If you remember, Xperia Arc was the thinnest smartphone, released last year (reaching the minimum thickness 8.7 mm), plus it was an unusual body shape - concave in the center, making it actually got its name. Moreover, this form allows you to put more camera module without increasing the thickness of the phone smoothly. Xperia arc was a good smartphone for the then Sony Ericsson, the company was looking for myself, but the approximate vector was already clear.
In Xperia Arc were first used technology from Sony - this camera with a backlit Exmor R, Mobile BRAVIA Engine for the screen as an example. Then, with the advent of subsequent models we see a gradual improvement of these functions, the emergence of many new, and today in the global announcement at IFA 2012 would like to elaborate on them.
Sony introduced the ideological line of successors to Xperia arc - four phones with the same hull shape, with a bend in the center, similar design ends. Of course, the design has been freshened up - for example, here is used very nice matte plastic, which does not stain (similar protected Xperia acro S), but the overall style is traced. Again become the flagship line of Arc, while the line of NXT (Xperia S, U, P) goes down to the lower price segments.
One of the new devices we see the continuation of the very features that have been implemented for the first time in the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc at the beginning of 2011. Display technology in Xperia V (the title of one of the models) - BRAVIA Engine 2. Camera Module - 13-megapixel Exmor R mode support HDR (including video). This module is the new generation, which promises to be much better than the current 12-megapixel Xperia S, for example. However, everything - from the beginning.
In the line of four apparatus: Xperia V (LT25i, codenamed Tsubasa), Xperia T (LT29i, codenamed Hayabusa), Xperia X (LT30p, codenamed Mint), Xperia J (ST26i, codenamed J.Lo). Photos and examples of the characteristics of three of these models have already surfaced on the Internet, but the Xperia V - no. Also, in my opinion, is the most interesting smartphone in the lineup. With him and begin.
Xperia V - not a flagship, talking about it and rather low index, LT25i, that is, it is below the Xperia S and positioning rather replaces the Xperia P. This is indicated by many factors, such as the use of new technology screen (Xperia P first appeared White Magic with additional white pixel), it uses BRAVIA Engine 2. In Xperia P was solid aluminum body, waterproof here. And the size of the screen (4.3 inches) Xperia V gives the current flagship LT29i.
But then the phone was very beautiful (minimum thickness of 8.7 mm), there is a small tab on the bottom, so that it appears that the screen slightly elevated above the surface. One of the main chips here, actually, in the screen of the sensor and the glass together in a single layer, in the end element has become thinner, less than 1 millimeter. So that the matrix is very close to the surface, there are maximum viewing angles. Actually, it is the viewing angles screens Sony satisfactory, the usual matrix LCD could not compete with IPS or AMOLED, now Xperia V this deficiency resolved.
The second feature - it's LTE. Before all flagship smartphones "cut-down" of them was removed support LTE (though, in our country the right frequency and so they are not supported.)
The third - a camera. In Xperia V, despite the "neflagmansky" status, use the new module Exmor R, mode support HDR. This module has been announced by Sony a few days ago. HDR (high dynamic range) can properly capture the scene with big difference in luminance areas, owners of iPhone this mode is familiar. In Xperia V it works even while shooting video.
Fourth - moisture protection. What standard - now will not tell you is likely to be similar to the acro S: all connections sealed rubberized plugs on the back of the rubber gasket protects the area of the battery and the connectors from the water.
Among other key points in the Sony Xperia V note the use of the latest generation of Qualcomm CPU (S4, MSM8960 Krait), it is a dual-core, but is made for a new process technology, 22 m, so that in most cases (especially energy) wins a 4-yadrnyh competitors . A big step forward in comparison with the third-generation processor in Xperia S, acro S. One of the tests (NenaMark 2) we were able to have time to drive to the video, the results to be expected, and only confirms the leadership of Qualcomm in mobile processors.
Memory 16GB of built here, there is a slot for a memory card with 1 GB of RAM, there's NFC, some new gadgets related to Wi-Fi (probably replacing DLNA, details later). In general, for all the usual high-end Android-based smartphones.
The device will be in the 4th quarter, the price is also not known. But judging by the positioning inside the series, it should be at the level of Xperia P, maybe a little higher. Devices are very similar in appearance, the role assigned to the flagship device with the largest screen, while the Xperia V interesting him in everything except the screen size. Perhaps my favorite in the series, especially thanks to LTE for Russia (really want to see what will be the speed) and the camera with HDR.
Despite the fact that this couple is a flagship device in the understanding of the manufacturer, they seemed normal to me. Bigger HD screen (4.6 inches), slim (8.6 mm the same in shape), the latest Android, etc. Many people have, from the Samsung Galaxy S III and finishing HTC One X. As chips here playing again 13 megapixel camera, but the Xperia V module later. So these devices are made primarily as a fashion long blade with the appropriate screens. However, as practice shows, these smart phones are now at a premium.
First - a few facts. The Internet already available information and photos Sony LT30p (Mint), but it is not true and once again confirms that it is not always necessary to believe the rumors. Lt30p appears in most countries, including Russia - is LT29i operator version with the same functionality, size, design and so on. The difference they have one thing in LT29i removable battery capacity 1750 mAh, while in LT30p battery of 1850 mAh removable, and connectors for SIM-card and memory card are under a flap on the side. That's all.
So do not talk much about LT30p, it is only a variant of the basic unit. But the latter, LT29i, will be available in all regions. Time - again Q4 likely a bit earlier than the Xperia V, the price is also not called. Level will be higher than the Xperia V at the start, probably close to the price run Xperia S (25,000 rubles) at the beginning of the year, the level of these champions of about one. Moreover, the market is already there (and even cheaper), the flagship four-core smartphones from HTC and Samsung, so I do not think it will be more expensive LT29i.
Filling machine coincides with Xperia V: CPU Qualcomm S4, 16 GB of memory plus card slot, 13-megapixel camera (but without HDR). LTE in the European version is also no.
As for appearance, the machine is definitely beautiful. Subtlety of the body and bending stresses the big screen with a thin bezel, the materials are very good, like rough plastic polycarbonate, just a little tougher. Sony LT29i looks and feels like a flagship cons during a cursory acquaintance I had not noticed.
The smartphone will be available in black and white, and may appear dark pink, as in the photo. It will be understood in terms of orders for that color.
The easiest of the four apparatus, which, of course, there will be the cheapest. The concept of the device is the same as the Xperia U, and the entire line of NXT: flagship design with simplified features. Such a policy in the design operated with Sony last year, continues to this day. Those who did not know about Xperia V, again erred, saying that the age of a similar design to the finished line of NXT. We have the same situation as in the beginning of the year. LT29i looks successor Xperia S, Xperia V LT25i - successor Xperia P, and Xperia J ST26i replaced Xperia U.
While Xperia U was very controversial (a powerful 2-core processor, but the small 3.5-inch screen, 8 GB of memory with no expansion options), the Xperia J - the complete opposite.
Here though not old, but a rather weak one-core processor Qualcomm MSM 7227A, which smartphone is not that slow, but compared to older counterparts difference is visible at once. But compared to the Xperia U there is a slot for memory cards, but the screen has grown to a comfortable 4 inches. For an inexpensive device such diagonal looks good.
The camera then 5-megapixel autofocus camera, 512 MB of RAM, the latest version of Android, and the battery on 1700 mA * h I think, given the feeble hardware platform of the middle class, this smartphone will run for a long time in comparison to competitors. By the way, one of them immediately reminded of LG Optimus L7, exploiting design expensive flagship LG Prada 3.0, a large 4.3-inch screen and standing with very little. Most likely, the range of prices on the Sony Xperia J will be comparable. Above already Xperia Sola with 2-core processor, and this new product should not cost more than a more powerful device.
There will be four colors available, in addition to black and white in the presence of gold and dark pink. As in his time at the Xperia Ray.
Brief conclusion
Here is a line of smartphones from Sony has turned to the 4th quarter of the height of New Year sales. I like it, did you? Most of the interest aroused Xperia V - Are all like very large screens, but usually smaller screen, the less functional smartphone. At this point, Sony realized perfectly: it is in the best Xperia V camera, water resistance, a new screen technology. Perhaps this is the smartphone, which I would have changed its Xperia S. LTE speeds will be interesting to try many, I think.
Sony LT29i (and its variation LT30p) - most anticipated sequel "blades." Buyers want the big screen - receive and sign. However surprising these devices did not cause - they function traditional flagships. Well, maybe except the 13-megapixel camera, which is not the competition.
Sony Xperia J - typical youth version, good looks, which he acquired from the flagship, but rather a simple hardware platform. In this capacity battery and low price. I think the device will be a hit, it has all the makings for this.
