In 2011, Sony Ericsson did not release a dual core handset. It looks like the newly formed Sony Mobile Communications still is not getting into the smartphones arm race.
The Sony Xperia S announced at the Consumer Electronics is powered by dual core 1.5 GHz scorpion processor and Adreno 220 graphic processing unit, which is basically the hardware you find in last years HTC Sensation XE.
The other specifications are more in line with what is expected for a 2012 flagship phone. The Xperia S has a high resolution 4.3-inch 720p display. The camera is an impressive 12 MP shooter. The Xperia S also comes with 32 GB internal storage, but it does not come with a MicroSD Card slot.
The announcement of the Xperia U and P at the Mobile World Congress confirms that Sony is not getting into the smartphones arm race in 2012 either. No Sony quad core phones have been announced.

For some reason or other all these phones are supposedly going to be launched with Gingerbread, upgradeable to Android 4.0. I think they will launch with ICS off the bat.
We can help but mention that the new styling of Xperia line is distinctive and attractive.
Sony is battling at the mid-level, and phones like the Sony Ericsson Neo V and Live with Walkman have been our value for money propositions for the past few months. Priced correctly, Sony new offerings could continue to do the same.
