MWC 2012 has finally begun with loads of surprises in store. The first day was full of big announcements and press conferences with most developers and technology partners previewing new stuff. Sony has announced two new Android powered gizmos, the Xperia P and the Xperia U that would be added to the Xperia NXT series.
The Xperia P debuts Sony’s Whitemagic display technology allowing the screen to be visible in across beaches, snow, and locations with complex visibility while automatically adjusting the brightness settings to improve performance and save battery life. The 4-inch Reality display makes movies and videos fun by integrating Sony’s Mobile BRAVIA Engine to provide ultra sharp image clarity. To enhance the overall multimedia and sharing experience one can also try multi-utility SmartDock that makes media sharing and playback easier and simple.
