Sony is working on a range of low-end mobiles. And among them is the one known under the code name " Tapioca " or Sony Xperia ST21i. A terminal that is designed for customers who are not too demanding but who do not want to leave out the Android experience. The launch of this new terminal is scheduled for next July, and as it is known since last January - thanks to the GSMArena portal - its price could be around 150 euros in free format.
The 600 euros that the Sony Xperia S - current flagship of the manufacturer - costs in free format is not available to all pockets. For this reason, Sony also thinks of a large public that could already be satisfied with mobiles that, in addition to allowing calls and sending text messages, can also use the famous WhatsApp instant messaging service and can surf the Internet.
Sony Xperia ST21i will be the first of the members of the low-end of the Asian company after the separation of Sony and Ericsson at the end of last year 2011 and where Sony created the new division in charge of mobile telephony called Sony Mobile . During the past Mobile World Congress the full range of which will be the benchmark this year 2012 was shown: the Sony Xperia.
However, the portal TechBlog has shown images which will be the first mobile low cost or low cost to the manufacturer. In the images that have been leaked, this Sony Xperia ST21i appears next to the first Sony Xperia S sword. And the difference in size between the two models is considerable. In addition to the relevant photographs, the portal has also revealed some of its main features.
First of all, this model will not have a very powerful processor; you should be content with a single-core processor with a working frequency of 800 MHz. Along with this, the RAM that will occupy the interior of the Sony Xperia ST21i will be 512 MB, enough for an entry-level computer; nothing is known about the possibility of inserting memory cards or the storage capacity that is inside.
On the other hand, the screen size will be reduced compared to the top-of-the-line Sony Xperia family. This small smartphone will feature a 3.2-inch diagonal capacitive-type multi-touch screen and will offer a maximum HVGA resolution (480 x 320 pixels). A decent screen that will allow the user to browse Internet pages and watch the odd video from the terminal itself.
Continuing with more features, Sony Xperia ST21i will have a single camera and it will be in the back. The resolution of the sensor reaches three - megapixel -no comes with a Flash integrative and will be able to record video clips, but with a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 pixels (VGA).
Finally, it has also been known that Sony is up for the job. And the version of the Google operating system that it will have installed is Android 4.0 or Android Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest mobile platform of the Mountain View. In addition, it should be remembered that the company is working to bring this update to the rest of its old catalog and that it is expected by the end of May / beginning of June.
