2012-01-12
hey guys this is Austin reporting live from CES 2012 at the sony booth and same here with the demo of the sony xperia ion in the xperia s so you want go out and take it away alright so here we're going to just demonstration the xperia smart tags which is basically an NFC technology accessory that's going to be launching in the second quarter you can see by the widget on the screen that it's located now in the bedroom so for instance maybe every time you go to the office that you launch certain applications maybe you turn your bluetooth on you turn your Wi-Fi on you launch your calendar so you can set each individual tag for a specific action and a specific location you can go through the widget and actually change any name of the tag and the actions that it commits when you scan so it's one of the features that we have on the Xperia S just using the NFC I mean moving on to the Xperia as itself it features a bravia display which is the reality sony bravia display its 4.3 inches it does have a pretty unique display you can see the clear acrylic bar on the bottom that actually houses the antenna and there it does have a 720p front-facing camera and then a 12 megapixel rear facing camera that features the Exmoor our sensor one of the unique features about the phone is the camera and the quick capture so you pull your phone out of your pocket you're at a black screen if you just press and hold the camera key within 1.5 seconds it launches and takes a photo so it's kind of a unique feature to have on a on an android phone it does have a 3.5 audio jack does have hdmi out volume key dedicated camera capture like I showed you and then the micro USB this will be launching into the first quarter beginning of the second quarter on a global launch and then we can move over to I'll show you the Xperia ion so very similar to the Xperia S it does feature the bravia Reality Display this one is actually sitting in what's called our smart dock so as soon as you put it in it'll connect to the TV via hdmi and you'll see the carousel of items there you can customize those when you play the music the orbs respond so you get a little bit more of a response there so the Xperia S features a 1.5 dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor the RAM is one gigabyte it has to gigabyte's dedicated to to app storage and then also it's 32 internal so there is no expandable memory on the xperia as the xperia ion on the other hand has 16 on board same specs as the S as far as processor speed and ram but it does have an expandable memory upto 32 gigabytes again the difference is really this is going to be an 80 mg exclusive it's going to be an LTE device launching in the second quarter it is a four point six inch screen but it features the same 720p front-facing camera and a 12 megapixel camera in the back shoots 1080p video so like I said again that one will be an AT&T exclusive and the Xperia S will be coming out global around the same time
