The Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone, also known as the Xperia Play, has to be the most leaked new gadget of 2011 so far. We have seen numerous videos and photos of this yet-to-be-announced smartphone from Sony Ericsson.
Now we have a review of this new handset, which gives us a better idea of some of the specifications inside the new PlayStation Phone or Xperia Play.
Specifications and Features
It looks like the PlayStation Phone will come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and will feature a 1GHz processor, plus a 4-inch FWVGA touchscreen display with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. This combination of hardware and software ensures a smooth and responsive user experience, making it suitable for both gaming and everyday smartphone tasks.
The device also includes a five-megapixel camera with a built-in LED flash, which is perfect for capturing high-quality photos and videos. Additionally, the Xperia Play is equipped with dual microphones and a pair of speakers, enhancing both audio recording and playback capabilities. This makes it an excellent choice for multimedia consumption and communication.
Gaming Capabilities
One of the standout features of the Xperia Play is its gaming capabilities. The phone is designed to provide a console-like gaming experience on a mobile device. It features a slide-out gamepad with physical buttons, similar to those found on a PlayStation controller. This design allows for more precise control during gameplay, which is a significant advantage over touchscreen-only controls.
The Xperia Play is expected to come pre-loaded with a selection of PlayStation games, and it will also have access to a dedicated gaming marketplace where users can download additional titles. This makes it an attractive option for gamers who want to enjoy high-quality games on the go.

Additional Features and Connectivity
Beyond its gaming prowess, the Xperia Play offers a range of features that make it a well-rounded smartphone. It includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS connectivity, ensuring that users can stay connected and navigate with ease. The phone also supports 3G networks, providing fast internet access for browsing, streaming, and downloading content.
The Xperia Play comes with a microSD card slot, allowing users to expand the storage capacity to accommodate more games, apps, and media files. This is particularly useful for gamers who need extra space for their game libraries.
The phone’s battery life is another important consideration. While gaming can be demanding on battery life, the Xperia Play is designed to provide a balance between performance and endurance. Users can expect a reasonable amount of playtime before needing to recharge.
