The limited edition 24K gold Sony Xperia P smartphone is on the cards and coming soon to compete with luxury phones such as the Gresso Regal Black and Mobiado Grand Touch Aston Martin. According to the official Sony blog, the company will release only 15 variants of this gold-plated handset.
The device belonging to the Xperia NXT series, flaunts a 24K gold coating and is expected to employ specifications similar to the basic version. It should be outfitted with a 4-inch 960 x 540p capacitive TFT multi-touch Reality display powered by the Mobile Bravia Engine. The touchscreen is reinforced by a shatter-proof mineral glass in order to keep scratches at bay and even employs the WhiteMagic technology for producing clear visuals in brightly lit conditions.
Its internal working is carried out with a little assistance of a dual core U8500 processor that clocks in a maximum speed of up to 1GHz. The smartphone can run the Ice Cream Sandwich platform with a software update and comes with 1GB of RAM for ensuring smooth navigation. It ships with 16GB of internal memory. This handset is also the proud owner of a front-facing VGA webcam which can be used for making video calls and recording videos.
Furthermore, the flip side of the Xperia P sports an 8MP primary camera and claims to be capable of shooting videos of 1080p resolution. It even possesses attributes like the Sony Exmor R for mobile CMOS sensor, LED flash, auto focus, up to 8x digital zoom, 3D sweep panorama, smile detection, face detection and more. The device is deployed with the Adobe Flash Video and extends support to multiple formats such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, 3GPP, MP4, PNG, MP3, OGG and WAV to name a few.
The Android handset is pre-loaded with multiple Google Mobile services and applications such as Google Search, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Maps, Timescape with Twitter, Xperia 2.0 with Facebook and many more. It can render improved audio with the help of xLoud and enables users to connect it to various peripherals via a 3.5mm headphone jack.
