Sony Xperia NX SO-02D (Xperia S) to arrive in Japan 24th February

Once again it looks like our friends in Japan will be getting a cool phone before we do. To be more specific we are talking about Sony’s upcoming Xperia S handset. The device is expected to land on NTT DoCoMo’s network as the Xperia NX SO-02D on the 24th of February, while our friends over in Europe are expected to see the device only a month later.

Now for those who might have forgotten or might have missed out on the news of the Xperia S which was launched during CES 2012 earlier this year, the handset will sport a 4.3” 720p HD Reality display, a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor under the hood with 1GB of RAM, a whopping 12MP rear-facing camera with an Exmor R sensor and will run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Fret not though as the update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is expected to follow later.
