Sony Xperia Play Announced; Is a PlayStation Certified Phone
After the numerous leaks in the last one month, Sony Ericsson announced the Xperia Play along with a bunch of other Xperia branded handsets at their on-going event in MWC, Barcelona. The handset is powered by a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor with the Adreno 205 GPU core handling the graphics department.
The handset sports a 4-inch LCD with a resolution of 854×480. The Xperia Play is a ‘PlayStation Certified’ handset and runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Sony’s custom UI on top of it.
As evident from the picture above, the Play will sport a slide-out gamepad to fulfill all your on-the-move gaming needs. The Xperia Play will come pre-loaded with one legendary PlayStation game. The name of the game was not mentioned by Sony, so this remains a mystery for now.
The back of the handset will feature a 5MP camera. The Xperia Play will start shipping from next month i.e. March. The handset will hit the Verizon network in the states in “early spring.”
