One of the first smartphones to be released after Sony’s buyout of Ericsson, the Sony Xperia S is definitely heading in a slightly new direction when it comes to style. This simplistically beautiful device comes in both black and white and boasts a 1280x720 4.3 inch display. Yes, that’s a 4.3 inch 720p HD screen for anyone who was wondering.

Other specs include a single-core 1.5GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM and both 16 & 32GB versions. The rear camera is also impressive, coming in at 12MP it’s not quite as jaw-dropping as the 16GB camera on the Titan II, but it’s still definitely worth a whistle and a glance over. There’s also a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video calls, if you’re a fan of that kind of thing.

Unfortunately this device will apparently come running Android 2.3 out of the box, but with a little luck that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update won’t be trailing too far behind.

No word on in which countries this bad boy will be available just yet, but Sony’s record with the Xperia line would indicated that UK and Europe users should probably be among the first to see it. Countries like Australia and NZ would probably follow, with America only a possibility to receive it at all.

However, since Sony’s ditching of Ericsson it’s entirely possible that this pattern will change completely, so we’ll try to keep you all updated as more information presents itself.
