Sony launches water and dust proof Xperia Z

                                        Sony launches water and dust proof Xperia Z

Sony has officially launched its flagship device, the Xperia S, at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas. There are a number of leaks and rumors about the Xperia S before the launch. The main features of the device are as follows:

• It has a 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor.

• The device has a 5-inch Full HD screen. The screen resolution is 1920 x 1080.

• The OS is a bit of a disappointment. The device runs Android 4.1 aka Jelly Bean. One would think that Sony would have gone for the last 4.2 version of Jellybean.

• The smartphone has 2GB of RAM and up to 16 GB of memory. This is expanable to 32GB via a microSD card slot.

• Like the iPhone 5, the Samsung Galaxy S III and other high-end devices, it will also support 4G/LTE tire for high-speed internet.

• The camera is probably the biggest advantage. The Xperia S comes with a 13.1 megapixel rear camera and a 2.2MP front-facing camera. This is much more than both the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III, each an 8 megapixel rear camera.

• The device supports Near Field Communications (NFC).

• The device is water and dust resistant.
