Communication and everything else with the Sony Xperia U

If there’s one thing I really like about Sony’s Xperia NXT range, it’s the fact that its form really attracts me. But let’s not dwell on that; we all know there’s more to it than meets the eye.

If you haven’t had enough of Sony’s latest phones, let me throw you another one: the Sony Xperia U. Rightfully described as “all about you”.

That “all about you” thing can be best attributed to its interchangeable bottom caps — whether you’re feeling blue or red-hot, just snap it on. And that’s just for starters; this feature-packed phone will really bring out what you want to do.

As always, the Xperia U boasts Sony’s Bravia Engine. Combine that with its 3.5” Reality Display — really bright — xLoud 3D surround sound and the pre-loaded Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited apps, you’re ready to kill the summer-heat time with movies, music and everything else. And its 5MP camera activates in a second, even when it’s locked.

Do your stuff quickly with its 1GHz dual-core processor, 8GB of internal storage and Android’s Gingerbread OS. Alert: it’s upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich. Perfect for summer, no?

THE LAUNCHPAD 

HUAWEI ASCEND P1 — First in its Ascend Platinum series. Ice Cream Sandwich. 1.5GHz dual-core processor. 4.3” Super Amoled. I told you these guys are serious challengers. 

GEARS OF WAR: JUDGMENT — Last week, Xbox 360 lovers (like me) probably drooled over the teaser. So, if you want more, mark March 19, 2013 for this expected epic. I’ve done so. 

PANASONIC LUMIX DMC-FT4 — Water-proof. Shock-proof. Freeze-proof. Completely dust-proof. Over a million landmark information across 82 countries. Do you need 
anything else?
