Sony’s
Xperia series now has a new entry: Xperia Sola which comes with an
unusual feature dubbed as ‘floating touch’. Floating touch means less
finger touching on the screen because now you can hover your finger over
the items and if you really need to click something then you lightly
tap the screen. Is it something good or users might find it a wasted
effort.
The
phone itself is a lot slimmer than its predecessors and weighs only 107
grams. The screen, completely dominating the front panel, is a 3.7-inch
Reality Display Bravia touchscreen with an 854 x 480 pixel resolution.
It’s camera is 5-megapixel one with auto-focus and video light.
Xperia
Solo comes with a 1Ghz NovaThor processor. Solo has also an additional
feature: NFC connectivity, plus a couple of Sony’s Xperia NFC SmartTags.
The only downside at the moment is that the Xperia Sola has Android 2.3 Gingerbread installed from the factory, but Sony says that an Ice Cream Sandwich update will be coming during the summer months.
The
Xperia Sola will be launching around the world sometime between the end
of this month and the end of June, when it’ll be available in black,
white or red. Pricing has yet to be confirmedThe only downside at the moment is that the Xperia Sola has Android 2.3 Gingerbread installed from the factory, but Sony says that an Ice Cream Sandwich update will be coming during the summer months.
