The Stylish Look

With its 4” wide touch screen having a wide-VGA resolution and 16 million colors and with an 8-megapixel auto focus camera that has a 8x digital zoom and LED flash that supports a full VGA recording at a cinema-grade of 30 frames per second, the XPERIA X3 is rivaled by a few in the market.

Fastest Internet Connection

Unofficial leaks on the net proclaim that XPERIA X3 is your basic quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE on the 3G network for providing you with fastest internet connection. It runs on the Qualcomm QSC8250 Snapdragon CPU and its Android 1.6 Donut OS carries the Rachel user interface that is said to provide a smoother and more intuitive feel on the handset.

Apart from sporting the same Bluetooth 2.1 with other flagships sets, there’s also the usual high end media players, a stereo FM radio, Bluetooth A2DP for wireless headsets and a 3.5mm headphone jack that adds to its multimedia feature set.

The video calls on 3G, are supported by a front facing secondary camera. There’s an average 256MB RAM and 512MB ROM of internal memory which can also be expanded up to 32GB form its micro SD slot.

It is believed that Sony might have itself released the news of its first Android cellular phone; several unofficial sources also speculate that Sony plans to release it later as X10. Whatever the truth is but it can not be denied that the world will go crazy once this Slim, Dark and Handsome, XPERIA X3- the world’s most powerful handset is released!
