There’s no new information contained within the report, with this UK newspaper doing little more than furiously rewriting Engadget’s Android PlayStation Phone exclusive like everyone on the internet was yesterday, but still.
It’s a good indication that there’s a massive, massive demand for a PlayStation-branded phone of any sort among the sort of people who don’t usually pay attention to phone developments. Here it is:
We definitely believe this is a genuine prototype handset, but suspect there’s still a chance Sony’s gaming division could simply say “NO” when the Sony Ericsson hardware development team ask if it’s OK to launch it. We’ll see.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ October 28, 2010I see a very big egg on face moment GTA Rothbury style very soon. Badly faked pictures now making headline news? Moronic XFactor Sun readers must be even thicker than previously thought.

/ October 28, 2010It looks rough because it’s a prototype. It hasn’t got proper logos and buttons because it’s a one-off made to test the hardware. The software hasn’t got the right buttons in it because it was written by a programmer, not a user-interface specialist. The screen looks bad because it’s been chucked around an office between 20 people who’ve been hammering it non-stop for four months.
Like I said, I’m sure it’s 100% real but still may not launch due to political issues between Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Ericsson.
