Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, one of the latest Android-based smartphones that Japanese-Swedish handset vendor unveiled to the world during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, is expected to arrive on the market in Germany with a price tag of €346 attached to it.

The smartphone also includes 320 MB of internal memory, along with a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space, (an 8GB microSD included in the package).

Sony Ericsson packed it with an 8.1-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with HD video recording (720p) capabilities, and LED flash (Sony’s Exmor R for mobile).

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, DLNA, HDMI support, and 3.5mm headphone jack were also included into the mix. The Sony Ericsson Xperia neo measures 116.0 x 57.0 x 13.0 mm and weighs in at 126.0 grams.
