After kicking off the rollout of the software update for many of its 2011 Xperia range of devices, Sony mobile communications (SMC) now announces its new range of Xperia smartphones at the IFA 2012 consumer electronics show, currently underway in Berlin.

Leading the Xperia range charge is the Japanese firm’s new flagship, the Xperia T (129.4 x 67.3 x 10.45 mm; 139 g), which sports a Godzilla sized 4.6" HD (1280 x 720 pixels) Reality display powered by the company’s Mobile Bravia engine for enhanced clarity.

Users will also find a rear-facing 13 MP fast capture, autofocus camera that the company claims is able to go from sleep mode to capturing photos in a little more than a second. Whilst this snapper is able to record full HD (1080p) videos, its front-facing 1.3 MP counterpart will be able to capture videos in 720p.

Powering James Bond’s smartphone of choice (the device features in the forthcoming Skyfall movie) is a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Krait MSM8260-A dual-core processor. Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) handles the operating system, but Sony did state that the Xperia T will be upgraded to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) following its launch.

Also onboard this PlayStation Certified smartphone is NFC support, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB internal storage (expandable up to 32 GB via microSD slot), and Sony’s xLOUD audio filter technology for an improved audio experience. Sony’s Xperia T will launch globally over the next few weeks.
