The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo has a built-in HDMI port and will offer an "exceptional multimedia experience", according to Sony Ericsson. The Android-powered smartphone uses Sony's Bravia graphics engine in order to produce smoother video playback, and also has an Exmor R camera sensor that claims to take better photographs in low light.
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo smartphone features a 3.7in display with a resolution of 854x480, an 8-megapixel rear camera that doubles as a 720p HD video recorder, and a 2-megapixel front camera for video calls. The XPERIA Neo is powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, has 1GB of RAM but strangely just 320MB of internal memory; though there is a microSD card slot for extra storage. It runs the latest 2.3 Gingerbread version of Google's Android platform.
Telstra hasn't announced when the XPERIA Neo will be launched or how much it will cost. All we know is that it's coming some time in the first half of this year, and will be exclusively sold through Telstra for the first three months of its release.
