Sony Xperia S which will be the companies flagship android when fully launched is now available as a demo at Sony Ericsson experience store near you. Sony is planning to launch Xperia S with in the first week of April.
Xperia S is a direct competitor to Galaxy Note from Samsung. It is expected to be priced at Rs. 36,000. From pricing point of view it will be a big flop until a price cut is done to bring it’s price near to Galaxy Note. As far as the specs are concerned than Xperia S definitely packs some real improvements as compared to their old generation of Xperia android phones. But still at that price range one will expect to get a quad core smartphone rather than a dual core. Although it is true that there is no game or application in android market that can take full potential of quad core but again it will make our purchase a future proof as 36,000 in no sense a small amount.
