FEATURES

Smart Stay

It waits till you’re asleep: so long as you look
at the phone, it maintains a bright display.

This more like the auto sleep function but more real time because it will actually detect your presence (screen, camera, temperature?)

Direct Call

It knows when you want to talk: if you’re messaging
and want to call instead, simply lift your phone to your ear
and it will dial your friend automatically.

Not sure if the motion sensor is the triggering but really, a press of a button is enough (to avoid accident calls )

Smart alert

It knows when you’ve been away from your phone – vibrating
nudge lets you know missed calls or messages.

Not really new perhaps similar to snooozing?

Social Tag

It keeps track of your loved ones: a glance at your
friends’ photos will show you their current SNS status.

Similar to FB photo tags maybe, not really a useful feature for me..

S Voice

It responds to your words: you can tell it to
wake up, answer, even take a photo.

The Siri equivalent to Samsung Galaxy S III, interesting though if it is a boy or a girl… or both??

S Beam

It shares what’s in your heart: place two
GALAXY S IIIs back-to-back and you can transfer
pictures, music, videos, and more.

Similar to other smartphone features, nothing new here.

AllShare Play

It lets you play together: beam your photos, videos – even
the game you’re playing – onto big screen, with your phone
doubling as a controller.

Nice feature if you have a Samsung TV or devices for easy synchronization

Buddy Photo share

It shares with everyone instantly: as the phone recognizes your
friends faces, it can share photos with them instantly.

Similar to tagging in Facebook

Design

inspired by nature: the GALAXY S III’s minimal and organic design is
reflected in its smooth and non-linear lines of the device. Its human-centric nature
provides an ergonomic and comfortable experience with enhanced usability.

I thought it was designed using recyclable materials, I wish they release a black version of it.

Pop up play

It lets you do two things at once: watch HD videos
as you email or text.

Seen that in smartphones, I mean how can you focus watching HD videos while texting or sending emails?.

Best Photo

It sees your best side: automatically takes a burst of 8
to make a continuous scene and chooses the best.

No doubt they have very good photos and larger pixels than most smartphones out there.

4.8 HD Super AMOLED

Seeing for real: 4.8 inches of hi-definition display,
true, perfect color with ultrafast response time.

Love to see the enhancement on the screen, may be I can view blu ray like display.

LTE (4G)

Faster download time than current 3G networks.
And it’s only going to get faster and faster.

Really depends upon the network.

OS
This will mostly like operate on the latest Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich.

Overall

The new smartphone is a good addition to the Samsung mobile lineup. With new and familiar features, this is another great innovation especially to the growing android users in the market.

The picture is rumored to be the next Samsung Galaxy S3. The device hasn’t been announced yet and we’ve seen other leaks before

We will find out though later on May 3 7PM UK time when it will be made official.

As for what we can expect with the new device, the pictures show a slim phne.The exception is more battery power and a more clear screen. 4G networks for Galaxy S3 is also expected

The operating system will most likely be Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

Aother new set of Xperia will be release and this smartphone is the first from the Xperia NXT Series. The Xperia U and Xperia P,along with the new Xperia Sola.

The flagship smartphone Xperia S from Sony debuts in Cebu through a special exhibition from April 26 to May 2, 2012 at the 2/F Cyberzone at SM Cebu. Visitors will be able to experience the stunning HD experience from the Xperia S, an Android smartphone with a 4.3 -inch Reality Display with Mobile Bravia Engine.

The showed their flagship smartphone from the NXT Xperia Series the Xperia S, which they declared as the smartphone with the highest pixel of all smartphones. It is really interesting that they focus more on screen display which is really appropriate for those who want to have a crisp screen resolution.

They have a total of 4 smartphones as part of their first NXT Xperia series. They will be released in the 3rd quarter of this year (maybe released together with the new iPhone?)

It was also announced (actually done long time ago) that Sony and Ericsson will be separated in terms of Mobile Business and will regarded Sony Mobile as one.

Mobile Division Head Patrick Larraga believes that these new Xperia smartphones will further integrate with the already existing Sony products and provide greater usage and synchronization with other Sony devices which will maximize the usability and entertainment

Since they boast that their flagship mobile Xperia S with their screen resolution, they confidently compared their display with the other popular smartphones today using the White Magic Challenge, which is really a risky move especially for those other smartphone fanboys out there (actually not a total fun with the challenge).

So comparing with the other smartphone display, as most smartphone says, no display is perfect, there are other instance that the other will be better with the rest and it is really subjective with the users and the setting applied with the device so it is really not my basis of better screen display. (but hey they are confident and that is good eh)

Product Group Marketing Manager Vince Dela Cruz showed us the Xperia S and its features.

The Xperia S incorporates the best of Sony technology and design. Its 12-megapixel camera with Sony Exmor R can take pictures in just 1.5 seconds from standby mode for the fastest capture of any scene. The Xperia S has an HD (1280 X 720) resolution screen, as well as front (720p) and back (1080) cameras for HD recording and enjoy HD sharing through a wireless DLNA connection, or use the HDMI cable to link the Xperia S to the TV. BRAVIA Sync lets one control the Xperia S with the TV remote control.

The Xperia S is also NFC (near field communication) enabled and ships with two Xperia SmartTags. This allows consumers to load pre-set profiles , or tasks for their Xperia smartphone unto a tag, which can be easily personalized. When a SmartTag is swiped, the example, a simple swipe on an Xperia SmartTag can turn off the phone’s WiFi, launch the GPS app or switches the phone off to silent mode.

Seing the NFC for the first time is pretty amazing and I wonder why other smartphones haven’t thought of that. If you are the type of person who changes the settings pretty often then this will be a very useful feature which can help you save a lot of time.

There is also Xperia P sold at SRP 22,990 php, Xperia U sold at SRP 13,990 and the Xperia sola at SRP 16,990.

And before I forgot they run on Android OS which is another great mobile for android fan boys out there.
