We have already seen the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and the new Xperia Play and now it looks like Sony will be adding another smartphone to the Xperia family at MWC 2011, The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo.
The guys over at My Android Life have managed to get their hands on a prototype model of the Xperia Neo, which you can see pictured below.
It looks like the Xperia Neo will come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 1GHz processor, a 4 inch display and an eight mega pixel camera, although these are yet to be confirmed.
Features and Specifications
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo is expected to be a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market. The inclusion of Android 2.3 Gingerbread ensures that users will have access to a wide range of apps and features available on the Android platform. The 1GHz processor, while not the most powerful on the market, should provide sufficient performance for everyday tasks such as browsing the web, checking emails, and using social media apps.
The 4-inch display is a good size for those who find larger screens cumbersome, yet still want a decent amount of screen real estate for media consumption and gaming. The eight-megapixel camera is another highlight, promising to deliver high-quality photos and videos. This makes the Xperia Neo a good option for photography enthusiasts who want a capable camera on their smartphone without breaking the bank.
Design and Build Quality
In terms of design, the Xperia Neo follows the sleek and stylish aesthetic that Sony Ericsson is known for. The prototype model shows a device that is both modern and ergonomic, with smooth curves and a comfortable grip. The build quality appears to be robust, which is important for a device that will be used daily and needs to withstand the rigors of everyday life.
The Xperia Neo also includes several connectivity options, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and possibly even HDMI output, which would allow users to connect their phone to a TV or monitor for a larger viewing experience. This could be particularly useful for presentations or watching videos on a bigger screen.
