The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play features a 4 inch multitouch display with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels, it will come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The Xperia Play will also come with a five megapixel camera, with LED flash, plus dual microphone, a 1GHz processor and it will make use of Sony’s new PlayStation Suite.
Gaming Capabilities
One of the standout features of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is its gaming capabilities. The device is designed to offer a console-like gaming experience on a smartphone. It comes with a slide-out gamepad that includes a D-pad, two touchpads, and the iconic PlayStation buttons (circle, cross, square, and triangle). This makes it easier for gamers to play their favorite titles without relying on touchscreen controls, which can sometimes be less precise.
The PlayStation Suite, which is integrated into the Xperia Play, allows users to download and play a variety of PlayStation games. This suite is expected to include a mix of classic PlayStation titles as well as new games developed specifically for the platform. The Xperia Play is also expected to support multiplayer gaming, allowing users to compete against friends and other players online.
