The Sony Xperia Eterion smartphone has been pictured before on our website and now it’s ready to make the third appearance. Designed by Frank Tobias, this smartphone adopts a rectangular design and reminds me of the Xperia S and Xperia Ion devices, particularly through that dotted area at the bottom, that somehow replaces the notification area on the Xperia S and its lighting.
Xperia Eterion has 4 touch buttons on the lower side and their symbols will appear under them when they’re needed. I guess that this could upset Google, that ordered all makers of Android 4.0 compatible hardware and software to give up the Menu keys and other extra buttons they had, both virtual and physical. Back to this 2012 Xperia concept, it also comes with a 16 megapixel camera with LED flash and a very original design of the cam + flash area, that’s minimalistic and elegant. It’s almost like a little keyhole…
I guess that the three dots above the Sony Ericsson symbol are the speakers here, but I may be mistaking. You must know that the Sony Xperia Eterion runs Android 4.0 and the designer also promised a version with Android 5.0 Jellybean in the future. Other specs include 16GB of internal memory, a quad core 1.4GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM. Frank Tobias hopes that this Xperia design is OK… I say it’s more than OK, it’s great!
This flagship Sony Xperia comes with a 4.5 inch Full HD display with a 720p resolution and 4 buttons at the bottom. These are capacitive buttons with symbols that appear each time you need them. There’s a 16 megapixel camera at the back and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as the OS here, plus 16GB of storage and up to 128GB of extra memory. The CPU of choice here is a quad core unit with 1.4GHz frequency, accompanied by 2 GB RAM. I wonder what kind of customization ICS will suffer…
Maybe the MediaScape and TimeScape have evolved into something greater and more modern this time. Or maybe Sony decided to customize everything, from icons to widgets and phone functions. Anything goes, since this is an Xperia concept after all.
Frank Tobias created the Sony Xperia Eterion concept that you’ve all seen a while ago on our website and now he’s back with the detailed view on the handset. We can finally have a look at its back, profile and a list of imagined specifications. This phone render is associated with a 4.5 inch Full HD Crystal LED touchscreen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.
