Sony Xperia SL now available in several markets

The Xperia SL has been quietly released by Sony, and can be found across various retailers in the US and Europe.

Perhaps the reason why there's not much fanfare around the new device is that Sony does not want to interfere with sales of its just-announced Xperia T,V and J at IFA.

The Sony Xperia SL features a dual-core Scropion CPU clocked at 1.7GHz, 12 MP camera capable of 1080p recording, 1.3MP front-facing camera capable of 720p video, 32 GB of storage and 1 GB of RAM. It comes with Android ICS out of box, but should be able to handle an eventual Jelly Bean upgrade from Sony with ease.

As for where you can get one, if you're in the States online retailer basatne has it for $523, while ATGSM offers it for $499. In Europe, getgoods.de and hoh.de each have it for €599.
