Sony Xperia J possibly spotted, may court entry-level fashionistas

Sony Xperia J possibly spotted, may court entrylevel fashionistas

That didn’t take long. We’ve only known about the Sony Xperia J and its reported ST26i codename for a short while, but ePrice has already given the purported starter smartphone the full photo tour. From cursory looks and specifications, the J will slot neatly between the Xperia miro and tipo at the start of the line and the small but potent Xperia U: while it’s not believed to be quite as fast or iconic as the dual-core U, the single-core, 1GHz J could still be faster than its tiniest cousins and strive for some chic with a brightly colored back wrapped around a 4-inch display. The real highlight may simply be an Xperia that ships with Android 4.0 from the get-go instead of requiring yet another upgrade merry-go-round. When the Xperia J shows is still up in the air, despite presumptions of an appearance at IFA; however, we won’t be surprised if the J appears side-by-side with the Mint when it’s officially ready for a close-up.

Sony Xperia J (ST26i) photos leak ahead of IFA announcement

Are you looking forward to seeing what manufacturers have in store for us at this year’s IFA? After all it was only last year that Samsung unveiled several new devices, although this year there seems to be plenty of Sony-related rumors and leaks. So far we can expect to see the Xperia J, the Mint and the Hayabusa to be unveiled, but thanks to leaked photos that popped up on ePrice, we might have an idea of what to look forward to in terms of design and hardware specifications as well.

Assuming the leak is to be believed, the Xperia J (ST26i) is rumored to feature a 4” FWVGA (854×480) display, a 1GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 5MP rear-facing camera and will come with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich on board. Based on this specs, we guess that if and when released stateside, it will most likely be marketed as a low-mid ranged device which we guess should make it an affordable purchase for some. Since nothing official has been announced, we’ll be taking this with a grain of salt for now, at least until IFA where the Xperia J will hopefully be revealed in its official capacity.

Sony's upcoming ST26i smartphone rumored to hit the market under Xperia J name

As is often the case, once you make your first unannounced, unexpected appearance, more are likely soon to follow — and that’s what’s happening with Sony’s forthcoming slab, the codenamed ST26i. Unlike last time we saw it in most of its glory, though, now it’s only showing up in full text mode, revealing what could be its official moniker once it finally launches. According to a leaked doc acquired by the folks from Xperia Blog, Sony’s purported 4-inch handset could snatch up the Xperia J nametag after making the transition from the more subtle and discrete ST26i title. Unfortunately, no other fruitful details were revealed in the process, but something tells us now it’s only a matter of time before this ICS-filled Xperia J gets past its rumor phase and becomes something more concrete.
