One of the smartphones that Sony Mobile has been long rumored to bring to the market in the coming months is the Xperia A, a handset that still hasn’t been officially announced, but which has just made an appearance over at the FCC.

Listed as Sony SO-04E for NTT DoCoMo, the Xperia A will arrive on shelves with a 5-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a full HD resolution, while also packing the same 13-megapixel camera as the Xperia Z, Engadget notes.

Furthermore, the new mobile phone packs 16GB of internal memory, along with a removable, 2300mAh battery and support for LTE networks, while keeping Sony's OmniBalance look.

For the time being, however, no specific info on when the Sony Xperia A might become official has been provided, though rumor has it that it could be unveiled on May 15, when NTT DoCoMo announces its entire summer lineup.
