14 DAY TRIAL // Although we don’t have any information regarding a possible release of Sony Xperia GX and Xperia SX outside Japan, at least we know the smartphone will be launched this summer.
During the smartphones’ launch event, Japanese carrier NTT Docomo has confirmed that Xperia GX will hit shelves in July, while the Xperia SX is expected to arrive in stores sometime in August.
In addition, some of the phones’ specs have been unveiled as well, even though both Xperia GX and Xperia SX were officially announced in Japan about a week ago.
In this regard, NTT Docomo mentioned that both handsets are equipped with Qualcomm’s MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processors clocked at 1.5 GHz, which are complemented by 1GB of RAM and Adreno 225 graphics processing unit.
Sony Xperia GX offers users 16GB of internal memory, whereas the Xperia SX only packs 8GB onboard memory. The carrier also confirmed both smartphones would come with microSD card slots for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
For the time being, we’re not sure whether or not either of the two handsets will be delivered with a free memory card in the sales package.
On the back, the Xperia GX boasts an impressive 13-megapixel camera with Sony Exmor R sensor, autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording.
The Xperia SX comes with a slightly smaller 8-megapixel photo snapper, but features the same Sony imaging technology and capabilities.
It is also worth mentioning that Xperia GX sports a large 4.6-inch Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine and HD resolution, while the Xperia SX features a much smaller 3.7-inch display based on the same technology.
Obviously, both Xperia phones will be shipped with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform, but Sony also announced they would be bundled with three new interesting apps: WALKMAN, Movie and Album.
