The Xperia miro (ST23i/ST23a) handset has just been uncovered by Sony Mobile’s “Fast-Forward” Facebook campaign. The 3.5-inch mobile will launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in four different colours (black, black/pink, white and white/gold). It will have a 5MP rear camera sensor and also a VGA front-facing camera. Sony is emphasising the “deep Facebook integration” throughout the handset (contacts, gallery, and music). Users will be alerted to new messages and social updates via what Sony calls a ‘unique illumination’ notification light.
In terms of specifications, the Xperia miro will be armed with a 800MHz MSM7225A chipset, 512MB RAM, 4GB of internal memory (2.2GB user accessible) and microSD memory card support. Other features include a battery with 1500mAh capacity capable of 5 hours of GSM talk time and 8 hours of video playback. The Xperia miro is pegged for a global release during the third quarter of 2012.
