Lately we are learning most of the Sony Ericsson phones specs through leaks, rather than with the official announcement. The XPERIA Play makes no exception as it made yet another public...

I dont care about the specs. I care for the games in it. It should have great games from great gaming developers, not like NGAGE that got lousy titles(spare Sonic and Splinter Cell, and Snake too!). But please Google and SE, make those games Xperi-Play-Only-Exclusive-Games coz if it didnt, I'll just get another Galaxy S from the shelve.

    freak!!!, 08 Jan 2011If this phone was only meant to play android games,then the... moreNot sure about the current range of Android games. As far as i can tell from various websites there will be a seperate app specifically to download games for the phone. But they have no relation to psp at all. Sony (not SE) refuse to lend the Playstation branding to SE (so i've read).

      i see most of the people r concerned about the specs.but i dont think its going to be a major concern for having good games.the psp is years old but still the games look gorgeous.its actually the devs job to find the systems potentiality.if they can give us good games why worry about the specs.but yeah it would be cool to have a tegra 2 under the hood...:)

          First there is PlayStation Portable with UMD games, then XPERIA Play with DLC games, then there will be 'PSP2' with Memo Stick games. That's a lot of pocket gaming to choose from Sony!

          And what is a PlayStation Pocket? Is that the name of the OS or the console? Somhow XPERIA Play sounds like the name of an online service.

            Fred, 07 Jan 2011Why are people bashing this phone. First of didn't everyone... moreIf this phone was only meant to play android games,then the why the hell give it seperate navigation keys as most android games are either touch or accelerometer based?
            This phone would make sense only if it could play the original psp games.

              Actually the design is bad.... And the battery power? Wow, i did not know either that can give me a long hour of to play games... I just hope that the review of the phone soon enough to be good and better because i am keeping my money now just to buy this phone if this good!

              p/s: anyway, why still no video call? With this specification, i love to have a "video call" function!

              Maybe Nintendo DS will make a phone ds later! Hahaha

                So basically the first phone made for gaming will not even be on bar with current phones for gaming. The SGX540 is a better GPU, and upcomming Tegra phones will be even better.

                  him, 07 Jan 2011i was also imagine that it will be a great game phone. But... moreOh yeah? Gsmarena says the specs of the X7 is pretty much like the N8 with 680 mhz proc, 450 MB internal, and 256 ram with 8 MP fixed focus cam. Care to give us a link where you got these specs.

                    Why are people bashing this phone. First of didn't everyone say "SE should bring out a psp phone. That would be so cool." and now when they give you what you want it's not good enough. Go get a life you whingers. Maybe the specs aren't the greatest but it was made to run Android games and not psp games. Therefore there wouldn't really be a need for better hardware than its already got. If they do make a successor im sure it'll be even better.

                              Greg, 07 Jan 2011Can I play native psp games on this phone?You won't be able to play native PSP games on this phone.

                              It runs on the Android system and can play Android games. SE have announced that they will produce certain games specially designed for this phone.

                                  Why didn't they include a large amount of onboard storage? Ok you can save to the memory card, but I would have thought that they would add maybe 4-8gb onboard memory aswell.

                                  And also why not a higher capacity battery? 1500mah is pretty much standard and for many top end phones, it barely lasts a day. How long will the battery last with regular phone functions throughout the day as well as an hour or two gameplay?

                                  There is quite a high possibility of this turning out to be an epic fail.......
