According to reports from IT168 and Engadget, the Xperia PlayStation Phone uses a Qualcomm Adreno 205 GPU, a 4-inch LCD monitor screen with 854 x 480 resolution, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash, 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a microSD slot, a SIM slot, a micro USB, and a second microphone.
Of course, none of these specs have been officially confirmed by Sony. Sony Computer Entertainment’s Kaz Hirai strongly hinted at the PlayStation Phone at CES 2011, using the words “tablets,†“smartphones,†and “PlayStation,†in the same sentence. “Strategy encompasses driving the development of a variety of new strategic products and services including tablets currently in development as well as smartphones, all the while of course integrating the knowhow and the assets that we’ve accumulated from our PlayStation business,†explained Hirai during a keynote.
But we have yet to hear any concrete details amidst the steady stream of rumors and mysterious leaks about the elusive PlayStation Phone.
