Xperia neo - HD video sample
We already provided you an unboxing video of the Xperia neo. We also took the retail version of the Android for a test drive and shot an HD video (indoor).
Just like the Xperia arc, the neo features the EXMOR R sensor from Sony. The sample video was shot in fair light condition indoors. We were quite impressed by the vivid colors, but check it out for yourself (make sure you set the resolution to HD via the button below the video):

Sunset with Xperia arc

The launch of the Xperia arc is imminent now, spring knocks on the door (at least here in Switzerland) and there was a beautiful sunset last night - enough reasons to post some pictures taken with the arc, don't you think? :-)
It is a matter of days now for the Xperia arc to appear in stores. We already posted a number of arc sample pictures earlier on, but since we had a really nice sunset last night, we thought we could share those additional snapshots with you. They were taken at two slightly different times (which explains the difference in colors), plus in two different resolutions (8MP in 4:3, 6MP in 16:9) The links to the original files are below.
Enjoy spring everyone!

Xperia arc - hands on video

Xperia neo - hands on, live pics and cam samples
We also see a streamlining of operating systems: Sony Ericsson announced a couple of months ago that it would take a break from (read: abandon :) ) the Symbian OS platform. While Vivaz was running on the latter OS, the Xperia neo is powered by Android 2.3. It is actually the identical version that is also working under the hood of the arc.
Generally, the neo and the arc share most of their features - for example the 8.1 MP EXMOR R sensor or the Bravia Mobile Engine.
Generally, we found the handling of the Xperia neo easier compared to the arc, for a simple reason: size. As we already mentioned, the display size of the Xperia arc is at the max regarding usability. The neo is small enough for comfortable one-handed operation. Obviously, this comes at the price of a smaller screen.
For the rest of it, we leave you with some first look impressions on video, including a size comparison with the Xperia pro and the arc. In addition, there is an extensive live picture gallery, and last but not least, some sample pictures shot with the neo in different lighting conditions.

Xperia PLAY - unboxing video
Today, we are proud to be able to provide you with another unboxing video. This time, we take you on a tour showing you what you can expect in the box of the Xperia PLAY. This is the first mobile phone carrying the "Playstation certified" label, and it runs the latest Android version 2.3 (Gingerbread).
The phone comes in two color variations, black and white.
In the box are the following items (we guess subject to the various markets, so don't be disappointed if your box will hold different stuff):
Xperia PLAYHeadphonesBatteryGreenheart charger with USB charging cableManual with high level descriptions8GB SD micro card (in the phone already)
Before we head over to the video, a couple of links if you want to get to know the Xperia PLAY better:
The PLAY will be available towards the end of March - again, depending on the market, we assume. And now enjoy the video!
