http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/xperia.jpg Sony’s announced its first two LTE-capable phones for its Japanese customers – and there’s two of 'em. The Xperia GX is up first, with a 720p 4.6-inch display squeezed in alongside a new 13-megapixel camera – a first for Sony’s mobile family. A 1.5 GHz dual-core processor ensures it should all tick along nicely, while the hardware design follows the curves of last year’s Xperia Arc, this time with a matte finish. The camera upgrade and huge screen makes a good case for this to be Sony’s new flagship device – mere months since the Xperia S debuted in Europe – and before the Xperia Ion has even had a chance to launch in the US.
It’s joined by the Xperia XS, which Sony’s calling the world’s lightest LTE capable handset, weighing in at just under 100g. It packs a smaller 3.7-inch screen with the same Mobile Bravia engine found on its bigger brother – and the rest of Sony’s recent handsets. It’s joined by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor (although there’s no specifics on what type just yet) and a more standard 8-megapixel camera. It wouldn’t be a Japanese phone without infrared connectivity, mobile wallet and a mobile TV – they’re all built-in. Both phones will launch in black and white, and Android fans can rest easy, as they’ll both arrive with Android 4.0 installed when they hit stores in Japan this summer.
