Ben Ling is back with yet another concept phone, the Sony Xperia Quad
handset, that you can see below. Dangerously close to the definition of a
phablet, this 5 incher feature a Full HD TFT shatter proof screen and a
scratch resistant body. The screen supports a 1080p resolution and at
the back of the device we find a 14 megapixel camera with LED flash.
There’s an Exmor RS sensor in here, as well
as Sony White Magic technology and support for 16x digital zoom. The
camera does 1080p video recording and the front 2 megapixel camera is
capable of Full HD capture as well. The specs list of the smartphone
involves a quad core Exynos 4412 processor, although strangely the list
also mentions a Krait CPU with quad core 1.7 GHz frequency, so maybe
there are two versions. The handset measures 9.2 mm in thickness, weighs
129 grams, so it’s 17 grams heavier than the iPhone 5.
It also has 2 GB of RAM, LTE, Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean as the OS and
the usual selection of Sony technologies, like Mobile Bravia Engine 3,
xLOUD Experience and more. Finally, there’s a Li-Ion 2500 mAh battery on
board and microSD is also here. As far as design goes, the handset is
more screen less body, being totally focused on the screen area and less
on various body modifications to appeal to the eyes. Frankly I find
that transparent bar on some Xperia models useless and Sony may figure
that out too soon…
