Sony Xperia T flagship unveiled at IFA 2012: offers 4.6-inch HD display, 13MP camera and NFC

Sony Xperia T unveiled at IFA 2012

The Xperia T, formerly codenamed Mint, rumor and leak victim since January, has officially broken cover. Revealing its 4.55-inch face to the crowds in Berlin, the Reality Display packs a 1,280 x 720 resolution and offers what Sony is calling the “best HD experience on a phone to date.” The company claims you can view vids in full 1080p HD quality, though we’re still waiting to receive additional clarification on this statement. The Xperia T runs on Ice Cream Sandwich, but we’re told it will be upgraded to Jelly Bean shortly after launch. It also features a 13MP fast capture camera (with a camcorder capable of 1080p video capture) and boasts a feature Sony is calling Sleep to Snap, which means you can go from a black screen to taking photos in an instant. What else does this new flagship offer? A one-touch function with NFC which you can use to tap to connect to other Sony devices, a 60-day premium trial of Music Unlimited and a new tier called Access which will be available in Europe for 0.99 Euros per month and will deliver full access of the service to PCs and the PS3.

The T — which will be known as the TX in select markets, and should be launching globally over the next few weeks — also sports a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8260A Snapdragon S4 CPU, pentaband UMTS / HSPA+ radios, a front-facing cam with 720p video capture, MHL connectivity, FM radio, 16GB onboard storage and an 1,850mAh battery. Dimension-wise, the T will weigh 4.9 ounces (139g) and come in at 9.35mm thick. Lastly, the new Xperia flagship will be available in black, silver and white hues (while the TX appears to come in pink as well). Pricing is still an unknown, but as we’ve seen before, it may largely depend on the market anyway. We’ll keep you posted as more details come in.

Sony LT30 ‘Mint’ sample photo emerges

We have seen a Sony LT30p smartphone in a benchmark sometime in the middle of this month, and here we are with a leaked sample photo captured by a phone known as the Sony LT30a, aka Mint, that you can see above and which is the North American version that will be powered by firmware version 7.0.A.1.112. The leaked photos were shot by a Software Engineer at Sony Mobile in San Francisco, and just to clear up the air, there are plenty of variants of the Sony LT30 Mint – where five are already known to us, namely the LT30a, LT30at, LT30p, LT30m and LT30i. Not only that, the latest member to join the list would be the LT30k, where many believe it is being prepared for a South Korean release, hence the initial at the back. This might just jive with previous rumors that a LTE-enabled Sony LT30 Mint smartphone too, will be making its way to South Korea.
