The last of the three handsets announced by Sony Mobile at IFA 2012 was the Sony Xperia J (ST26i/ST26a). It’s a pretty handset carrying the same arc design seen in the other handsets announced today. The Sony Xperia J sits between the low to mid-end of the smartphone spectrum and features smart illuminations. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon A1 MSM7227A chipset with 1GHz single-core processor and Adreno 200 (enhanced) GPU. 

It will have a 4-inch gorilla glass display with FWVGA resolution (480 x 854) and support 2-finger multi-touch. It will come with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage (650 MB of firmware (using 1.3 GB physical memory to secure against memory errors), 766 MB of phone memory and 2 GB for media) and microSD memory card support.

Camera duties will be taken care of a 5MP sensor with VGA video recording and will also come with a VGA front-facing camera. It will also come with a removable 1750Mah battery capable of 5 hours and 36 minutes of GSM talk time. The Sony Xperia J will have slim dimensions of 124.3 x 61.2 x 9.2 mm and will weigh 124 grams. The handset will launch in four colours (black, gold, pink and white) during Q4 2012.

News : Sony Xperia J comes before the official announcement

The Sony Xperia J borrows design cues from the T and TX, but is a low end device. The screen is a 4" FWVGA LCD, but has narrow viewing angles and isn't very bright, according to Mobile-review's early impressions.

   
Sony Xperia J is an entry level Android ICS phone

The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7227A chipset (Cortex-A5, Adreno 200, 512MB RAM), the same chipset we saw on the Samsung Galaxy S Duos and other phones (the Xperia miro and tipo use the 7225A version, which has a lower CPU clock speed).

The chipset reportedly offers good enough performance for ICS and the 1700mAh battery is enough for a day of heavy usage but can easily go two days if you don't push it too much.

In the end, the Sony Xperia J seems to offer a very attractive package for its price of €150-160, with good build quality, great display for the class and good reception and audio quality.

A few more leaked photos of the Xperia J (ST26i)

We have already seen a few leaked photos of the upcoming Sony Xperia J (ST26i) and what was notable was the absence of the Sony Ericsson liquid energy ball on the back. Some new photos have emerged of the Xperia J in black, white and pink colours which shows that it does look like it will not have the green logo we have all become accustomed to.

The Sony Xperia J is rumoured to have a 4-inch (480 x 854) display, 1GHz single-core processor (MSM7627A chipset) and will launch with Android 4.0.4. We imagine camera duties will be taken care of by a 5MP sensor with LED flash. The power and volume buttons sit towards the top-right of the handset, but we couldn’t make out a dedicated camera key. There are no pictures of the front but we already have an idea of how it will look from the past leak with three capacitive buttons and a front-facing camera.

News Sony Xperia J outed as name for upcoming ST26i handset

The Indonesian Postel regulatory site continues to unveil the marketing names for upcoming Sony Xperia handsets. It has a 100 percent success rate so far so we have no reason to doubt that the upcoming 4-inch handset with model number ST26i will be called the Sony Xperia J on release.

The Xperia J is believed to be another low-range offering with a 4-inch (480 x 854) display, 1GHz single-core processor (MSM7627A chipset) and will launch with Android 4.0.4. Little else is known at this stage, although recent photos suggest that this could be one of the first Xperia phones to launchwithout the Sony Ericsson liquid energy logo.

Thanks Sacrow!
