26 February, Mobile World Congress, Barcelona - Sony Mobile Communications today

smartphones from Sony, the new Xperia P andXperia U. In addition, Xperia S, the
ultimate HD smartphone, is now shipping to markets across the globe, with first
sales in the Sony Style store in Barcelona during Mobile World Congress. Xperia
P and Xperia U will be available to consumers globally in the second quarter of

Xperia NXT series - a connected entertainment experience
Incorporating the best of Sony technology and premium entertainment, the Xperia
NXT series is a cornerstone of Sony's connected experience. With easy
connectivity, consumers can enjoy and share content on whichever screen best
suits them, whether it's their smartphone, TV, laptop or tablet.
With the next generation of smartphone design from Sony, the Xperia NXT series
has a look that is instantly recognisable. These smartphones have intriguing
design features including the "transparent element", a band that encircles the
base of the phone and also integrates invisible antenna components. The
transparent element illuminates when receiving calls, texts and notifications.
The new User Interface (UI) follows the same design principles and enhances the
Android(TM) experience - offering rich applications and content with a simple
and clean look. A new album, video player and music player will deliver
compelling entertainment experiences and the new UI design also allows
consumers to access their favourite application direct from the lock-screen.
Xperia P and Xperia U boast Reality Display powered by Mobile BRAVIA® Engine for
razor-sharp clarity, along with fast capture to take the camera from sleep to
snap in a little over a second with a single key press. Both smartphones come
with powerful 1 GHz dual-core processors for super fast performance.
As with Xperia S, Xperia P and Xperia U connect consumers to premium
entertainment experiences with access to the Sony Entertainment Network*. Out
of the box, consumers can watch the latest Hollywood blockbusters on Video
Unlimited or listen to millions and millions of songs** through Music Unlimited.
Xperia P - ultra-bright viewing experience
With a full aluminium unibody design, Xperia P debuts WhiteMagic(TM) display
technology from Sony for the first time on a smartphone. WhiteMagic technology
delivers the brightest viewing experience; whether at the beach or on the ski
slopes. Smart power efficiency automatically adjusts the brightness of the
screen to the surroundings to conserve battery life.
The new SmartDock, exclusively for Xperia P, offers simple connectivity to
multiple screens, turning the smartphone into an entertainment hub for the
living room. Using a TV remote control consumers can easily navigate their
smartphone's media content to watch their HD videos, the latest movies or
favourite TV shows on the big screen. With USB support in the SmartDock, they
can also use a wireless keyboard and mouse to write emails, browse and post on
Facebook or watch videos from YouTube on their TV.
