Sony Xperia S
Sony Xperia SL is already available, however, given that the only difference between the two devices in terms of specs is that while Xperia S gets a 1.5 GHz processor, Xperia SL gets the same processor clocked at 1.7 GHz, and therefore there is not much difference in performance. And looking at the price difference of about Rs 3,500 with Xperia S priced at Rs 25,649 vs Xperia SL priced at Rs 29,000 we are inclined to recommend the Sony Xperia S.
Xperia S came with the Android 2.3 operating system and has since been upgraded to Android 4.0. It is also designated to get Android 4.1 upgrade shortly, so even in OS terms you won't miss anything.
Sony introduced its new Xperia NXT series smartphone recently. The all new Sony Xperia S is powered by a Mobile Bravia engine 2.0. It has a 4.3 inch 720p HD touchscreen display and by default runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Sony is working quickly to make Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich available for Xperia S.
