Sony’s Xperia acro S smartphone, which was made official back in May, has been spotted on the Global Certification Forum website, where it has received all the necessary approvals.

The handset is expected to become available for purchase before the end of this quarter, and the fact that it got the GCF blessing shows that it is on track for that.

Xperia acro S should arrive on shelves with a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, a large 4.3-inch HD LCD that can deliver a 720 x 1280 pixel resolution, and with Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform on board.

Moreover, the phone will feature a 12-megapixel photo snapper on the back, along with a 1.3MP front camera, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal memory. The smartphone packs a 1910mAh battery inside, NFC, WiFi, Bluetooth, and the like.
