Sony Mobile unveils Xperia sola​

Sony Mobile Communications has expanded its Xperia smartphone lineup with the unveiling of Xperia sola. Running on Android 2.3 operating system (with promised upgrade to Android 4.0), Xperia sola boasts of a 3.7 inch Reality display, 1GHz dual core processor and a 5-megapixel camera.

Just like the Xperia S, sola is NFC-enabled and comes with two SmartTags. These SmartTags allows users to change the settings of their phone simply by touching.

The company has introduced a new technology called Floating Touch navigation that lets users navigate the web by hovering their finger above the screen so it acts like a moving curser, without actually having to touch the screen. Once the desired link is found it can be highlighted and a simple tap will load the page.

Featuring the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, Xperia sola comes with SmartTags, which allow the consumer to instantly change the smartphone settings to a pre-defined set by simply touching them to the phone. Sony sola comes in black, white and red colurs and is expected to be launched globally by the middle of the year.

Sony Xperia sola specifications:

* Floating touch navigation * NFC enabled and Xperia SmartTags * 3.7" Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine * 1GHz dual core processor * xLOUD and 3D surround sound audio technology * Direct access to Sony Entertainment Network with pre-installed video and music unlimited
