Sony’s Xperia acro S Receives FCC Approvals

Another Android-based mobile phone from Sony has received the necessary approvals from the FCC, namely the Xperia acro S.

The handset, made official a few months ago, was granted GCF certification last week and is now approved for use in the United States.

The FCC listing shows that Sony's Xperia acro S comes with support for AT&T’s HSPA radio bands, although it was not specifically designed for the carrier’s network, as Engadget reports.

The handset will hit shelves with a large 4.3-inch touchscreen display, as well as with a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU and a 12-megapixel photo snapper on the back.

The official specs list for the device also shows 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, and Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to power them all. No info on the phone’s possible launch stateside has emerged so far.
