Preview: Xperia Play PlayStation Phone – Not by Sony though

While everyone was expecting Sony Ericsson to reveal Xperia Play, the PlayStation phone, at CES, it didn’t just happen. But a Chinese blog got their hands on the PlayStation phone and did a thorough hands on preview of the device. It seems like it’s every bit as good as fanboys have dreamed it to be.

  • 1 GHz snapdragon processor
  • Qualcomm Adreno 205 graphics processor
  • 4-inch 854 x 480 pixel display
  • 8 MP camera with LED flah
  • 1,500 mAh battery
  • microSDHC support
  • 512 MB RAM and ROM

And it runs Gingerbread just like the video we had posted before.

If you’re thinking a 1 GHz processor doesn’t seem fast enough when 1.2 GHz processors will be out in Android phones soon, check out the benchmark result: 1,733 score in Quadrant. Ok, my Galaxy S scored more than that with a lagfix, but then this is in the default configuration.
