Sony Xperia sola sits somewhere between the Xperia U and Xperia P

Sony announced a new member of its Xperia family – Xperia sola, which sits somewhere between the Xperia U and Xperia P. It comes with a 3.7-inch Reality Display powered by Mobile BRAVIA Engine, whereas the Xperia P has a 4-inch screen and Xperia U – 3.5-inch one. In addition, the new Xperia phone also sports xLOUD and 3D surround sound audio technology delivering “crisp and loud sound,” a 1GHz dual-core processor, NFC, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show. An upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich will be released during the summer months.

On a software side, the Xperia sola features direct access to Sony Entertainment Network with pre-installed Video and Music Unlimited apps. Moreover, Sony says web browsing with its new baby is “magical” — by hovering your finger above the screen you’ll make it act like a moving cursor, without actually having to touch the screen. Once the desired link is found it can be highlighted and a simple tap will load the page. Sounds kinda weird if you ask me, but Sony seems bullish on this technology promising to further enhance it with new user functionality and applications through software updates and engagement with developers…
