Hasta La Gadget!

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.

If we didn’t know better, we’d say that Sony was playing some sort of protracted game of hang-man with its Xperia line. S… P… U… and now possibly T? It’s the phone bearing that latest letter in the cryptic message that we see before us today. In fact — thanks to nixanbal.com — we can see it from pretty much every conceivable angle. The S4-powered droid — complete with foldout memory card slot and protruding camera — is tipped to be announced pre-IFA, so we’ll no doubt have the full skinny then. In the meantime head past the break — and then tap the source — to see the minty-phone in all its glory.

The Sony LT30 ‘Mint’ was spotted in the past before, and here we are with the latest details on what many deem to be the flagship device from Sony Mobile sometime in the second half of this year. It seems that a couple of versions of the LT30 Mint will be released in due time, where the first model is the Sony LT30at that will arriving at AT&T in the US, where it will feature LTE connectivity and a metal back cover that has been described by the recent Bluetooth SIG listing. Not only that, there is also a second version known as the LT30p that will result in an international launch with HSPA+ bands, where it sports a matte-plastic back cover that is not too different from the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

As for the Sony LT30a version, there is no word on whether this will come with a plastic backing or a metal back, but the Sony LT30a will also be arriving on North American carriers including Rogers, Bell, MTS Mobility and Telcel. There will be plenty of marketing dollars thrown to “sell” the LT30 Mint later this year, where it will also play a role in the new James Bond film Skyfall.
