Sony surprised everyone when they announced the Xperia miro. But news just kept coming, as they announced an entry-level ICS droid. Dubbed, Sony Xperia tipo and tipo dual the unique set of devices mark their entry into dual-SIM arena.
The Xperia tipo is a compact phone (103 x 57 x 13 mm, 99.4g) and features a 3.2" HVGA TFT screen with scratch-resistant mineral glass. But it is said to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at launch. The set will be powered by an 800MHz processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7225AA chipset).
The phone also has a 3.2MP camera, 2.9GB of built-in memory (expandable by a microSD card), 3.5mm audio jack, microUSB port and a 1500mAh battery. On the connectivity side, there's HSPA-enabled 3G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS.
The Sony Xperia tipo will be available in a dual-SIM version too - called Xperia tipo dual. But, both cards will not be active at the same time - it's not a dual standby deal. Instead, a special button on the side of the tipo dual would allow you to toggle the currently active SIM.
Both versions will be launched globally sometime later this year. The device will come in Classic black, Classic white, Deep red and Navy blue. No pricing info available yet.
