Sony Xperia SL improves on Xperia S with 1.7GHz chip, Android 4.0

The Xperia S may have only arrived earlier this year, but it looks like it's successor is already being lined up in the form of the Sony Xperia SL.


A quick glance at the leaked images of the Xperia SL though, and you'd be forgiven for thinking we're just getting confused with the Xperia S as the handsets sport an identical chassis.

The difference, according to Chinese site ePrice, is under the hood, where the Xperia SL packs a beefier processor and updated operating system.


Instead of the 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 found in the original, Sony's opted for a 1.7GHz chip in the Xperia SL. You're also be treated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich right out of the box instead of having to limp along on Gingerbread and wait for Sony to cement its OTA update plans.

The phone's weight and thickness remain unchanged, and the 4.3-inch 720p Mobile Bravia display and 12MP Exmor R rear-facing camera still feature prominently. Sony's also offering up two new color options now-white and pink-in addition to the original silver and black hues.

Sony's still trying to establish itself as a force to be reckoned with in the wake of its break with Ericsson. The Xperia SL might not have shoppers lining up in the streets for opening day sales, but it's good to see that the company is willing to re-tool a solid phone that's already on the market. Better that than let the Xperia S sit around on store shelves and slink into obscurity as new hero phones arrive from other manufacturers.

It's still unclear when the Sony Xperia SL will be released and how much it will cost, but we'd expect it to carry a price tag somewhere in the region of $700 , if the Xperia S is anything to go by.
