Sony Xperia S and Xperia ION smartphones announced

The Sony Xperia S is an Android 2.3 device and will come to the UK in March, with squarer edges than many of the previous Sony Ericsson Xperia devices.

It will come loaded with a 720p, 4.3-inch screen that comes loaded with Sony’s Bravia screen technology.

There’s also a 12-megapixel camera with super-fast shutter speed that promises to eliminate shot-to-shot lag experienced when taking pictures on most smartphones.
