A new phone and some great news about our latest Gingerbread Update

We have been having a lot of questions regarding the update for our 2011 Xperia™ phones to the new Android 2.3.4 version. And we are happy to tell you that today we announced that the 2.3.4 version of Gingerbread platform for all the 2011 Xperia™ Smartphones will start the roll out during October at select markets.



Some of the features you will get from this update are:



Google Talk with Video Chat for smartphones with front-facing cameras

Updated Facebook inside Xperia™ functionality for enhanced like, share and discover abilities. We have talked about Facebook inside Xperia™ on previous posts.

Xperia™ smartphones introducing world’s first 3D sweep panorama functionality powered by Sony.

The software upgrade will enable consumers to turn their Xperia™ smartphone into a mini-mobile PC by connecting USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard or game controller) to Sony Ericsson LiveDock™ multimedia station. Connect the smartphone to a TV via HDMI to get a big screen experience.

Swipe text input – text input by swiping the finger from one letter to the next

Screen capture – allows the user to share a screen grab from anywhere in the phone

Also, we are announcing the launch of Xperia™ neo V, an Android smartphone that continues growing on our Xperia™ portfolio, and that will be available in selected markets from Q4 2011. Xperia™ neo V is one of the first products to launch with the new software and will include features such as Google Talk with Video Chat, 3D sweep panorama and Facebook inside Xperia™.



What I like the best about Xperia neo V is the design. It is very comfortable for taking pictures and video, as it is designed with the Human curvature on mind. Also, neo V has Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine, and has a built in HDMI connection, that makes it easier to connect it to your HD TV to share the pictures and videos you took with everyone!



The software upgrade will be available in select markets through a phased roll out starting from October 2011. Xperia™ owners will receive a notification in phone instructing them to instantaneously download the software over the air via 3G or WiFi. Alternatively, they will have the option to connect to a computer and download it via PC companion.
