 "MWC 2011: Sony Ericsson Adds the Play, Neo and Pro to its Xperia Lineup")
We’ve known for a while now about Sony Ericsson’s intentions to launch some new Xperia phones at the Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona. Predictably, the keynote that happened last night did end up showing off three new phones.
Xperia Play
First up is the Xperia Play aka the PlayStation Phone aka the World’s Worst Kept Secret. The phone is the first PlayStation Certified device and will be releasing with around 50 launch titles, some of which will come preloaded with the device.
Are you ready to play?
The Xperia Play is expected to come out in March or April with the following specs:
- 1 GHz Scorpion ARMv7 CPU
- Adreno 205 GPU
- 4-inch capacitive multi-touchscreen at a resolution of 480x854
- Slide-out controls
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread
- 5 Megapixel Camera with autofocus and LED flash
- micro-USB port
- 8GB microSD card, expandable to 32GB
- 1,500mAh battery

Slide-out QWERTY Goodness
Take a look at the specs:
