Here’s official word on yet another Sony Android model for 2012, the very latest Xperia T. The phone, which has previously been known in a series of internet leaks as the Xperia Mint, will arrive running Android 4.0, with Qualcomm’s powerful, dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor inside to handle the complicated business of being a smartphone.
The Xperia T manages to eclipse Sony’s recent Xperia S and even the newly announced Xperia SL by offering a 13megapixel camera with 16x digital zoom, 1080p capture and a secondary front-facing cam capable of 720p recording, along with a 4.6″ Reality Display running at the 1280×720 HD resolution.
And yet another slightly different hardware design. The Xperia T contains 16GB of onboard storage, plus the built-in battery has a 1,850mAh capacity and there’s NFC tech included – and an SD card slot. We like it. It’s yet another flagship from Sony.
Here’s the full and very long list of Xperia T specs:

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.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
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?
