I had a few questions too!
1. Will Xperia P have exchangeable caps?
2. Do the buttons of Xperia P change color too?
3. Any Ideas on the price and launch dates?

re: Mobile World Congress 2012 discussion thread

I saw this yesterday , Xperia P looks Good

If all specs are correct then

Pros

WhiteMagic technology (similar to ambient sensor for screen brightness)
and list

cons

No expandable memory
doubtful build quality
Low Battery (1350 mhz)
shpis with Android 2.3(planned upgrade to ICS later this year)



launch date is Q2 2012 (April-June 2012)
price must be around 20-22K ,guess, at launch might be Higher

Re: Nokia 808 PureView: Belle OS, 4-inch display, 41-megapixel camera

But its 41 MegaPixels!
It'll launch for €450(29.5K)
I know its not the Mega Pixel count that affects the quality of an image as long as it doesnt pixel-ate But the sample images look stunning!

It is a 41-megapixel SENSOR.

Thread title changed accordingly.

The Nokia 808 uses a 41 MP sensor, which captures image data from seven adjacent pixels and condenses it into one, resulting in stills at around 5 MP resolution with amazing detail and low noise levels.

Noobish question whats sensor?

I love the specs of Xperia P. This week I was about to buy Sensation XE. But today morning when I saw sony's announcement I changed my mind Sony phone surely will have better camera and sound quality. I think it can also beat Sensation XE in benchmark tests because GPU used by Xperia P is Mali 400 which is also used in Galaxy SII.

But the doubt which I am having is the battery capacity of xperia P&U which is less than 1400 Sony claims that Novathor CPU(developed by ST ericsson) is 60% power efficient. Whether it will come up to the expection? And I hope that this will release next month

@ mods better change this thread name to "MWC 2012 discussion thread"

nokia 808 at 27K-30K will be good to watch..

I am waiting for Samsung

 

[thetechfreak]

41 mega pixels? That too on a phone?

 

[ohm.patel1]

It won't be really 41 mp. Effective pixels would be really less.

Breaking the Myth of Megapixels -- Breaking the Myth of Megapixels - New York Times

...one myth is so deeply ingrained, millions of people waste money on it every year. I’m referring, of course, to the Megapixel Myth.

It goes like this: “The more megapixels a camera has, the better the pictures.”

It’s a big fat lie. The camera companies and camera stores all know it, but they continue to exploit our misunderstanding. Advertisements declare a camera’s megapixel rating as though it’s a letter grade, implying that a 7-megapixel model is necessarily better than a 5-megapixel model.

I can show you plenty of enlargements from a 4-megapixel camera that look much sharper and better than ones from an 8-megapixel model. Meanwhile, a camera with more megapixels usually costs more, and its photos fill up your memory card and hard drive much faster. And more densely packed pixels on a sensor chip means more heat, which can introduce speckles into low-light shots.

But you can repeat this lesson until you’re blue in the newspaper column, and some people still won’t believe you. They still worry that their 5-megapixel camera from 2005 is obsolete. They still feel sales pressure when shopping for new cameras.

Nothing Amazing from Samsung yet
Only the Galaxy S Player (Its a PMP) and the Galaxy Beam (Projector phone)

@ mods better change this thread name to "MWC 2012 discussion thread"

+1

The Nokia Lumia 610 for $255? Way too much especially cuz you can get its elder brother, the 710 for 15K ($300)
Its price would gradually decrease. If it launches in India for 11K , would be a great hit!

Also its sad Sony didnt release the Neo V successor codename Pepper.

Pricing revealed! The UK Prices of unlocked phones are almost the same as India's and in some cases more than India!

Xperiablog.net :
We can reveal that the European suggested retail price of the Xperia P will be €449, whilst the Xperia U will come in at €259. The Xperia P sits very close to the Xperia S price point (€499), so it seems that you really are paying for the metal chassis design. The Xperia U looks very reasonable, especially considering it runs the same 1GHz dual-core ST-E U8500 NovaThor chipset. However, you are sacrificing storage and a smaller screen over the Xperia P. With many manufacturers announcing quad-core phones at MWC, we think Sony Mobile may need to price the Xperia P more keenly to be a true success.

Nice phones, what happened to Xperia S?

 

[tkin]

Each image will be 100 of MBs in size, or more, but 41MPx?

re: Mobile World Congress 2012 discussion thread

I think till now HTC One X is the best one....

Re: Mobile World Congress 2012 discussion thread

correct the Sony GPUs. Those are ARM Mali 400. GSMArena got it all wrong.
