Sony announces the Xperia P: Aluminum unibody, shipping Q2

[![][1] ][2]

Sony's [press event][3] is in full swing, and the first to arrive is the Xperia P. The phone follows on from the styling we saw on the [Xperia S][4]; but it looks likely to be the middle child, with a similar Sony-themed skin atop what appears to be Google's Gingerbread, still housing dual-core power under the hood. Previously known as the Nyphon, the Xperia P has a 4-inch "WhiteMagic" display encased in an aluminum unibody. This new screen technology is apparently geared toward outdoor viewing, with NFC, HDMI connectivity and an eight-megapixel camera with full HD video capability. It will also be gifted with its own incoming SmartDock, which is set to arrive alongside the phone. And that's going to be pretty soon; the P model will ship mid-Q2, but pricing remains as dark as Sony's live event stage.
