The new UXP that they're talking about on both the ion and s, think it will come to the 2011 phones? I have a feeling it wont  is there any confirmation on this? Also in the video above it seems that they scraped the current camera layout! It's now got a standard silver button like other android phones... that is a shame as the current interface is so good.

Because the new Xperia range announced is called the 'NXT series' and they talk about the interface of this series being the UXP look. They probably want to differentiate this series and so wont update the 2011 range...
hope I am wrooooooong!

We shall see I guess Sony will want to keep their older Xperia owners happy for a while like they did last year. They did well last year on update promises.

As I am sooo going to get this (already thought about preordering it for 449,90 in an online shop here in Germany), I sized it up to the phones I have here and it came out quite well.  So glad it's not too much bigger than the Nexus S!

449 euro is still about $575 US dollars... that's not bad but i'd love it to be cheaper!
can't wait for more information about the materials used in the body

I wonder why it is quite heavy at 144g, that would be the only thing that would put me off slightly.
I do like the form factor of the arc, but it the S is a solid construction then I can except a slightly more bulky phone.
Would be interested to see the camera samples, if they were like the ones previously leaked that were supposedly from the Ion then the camera is a massive improvement on the Arc. |

What a beauty i wont be getting it though, not as powerful as a GS2 unfortunetly and my next phone be quad-core, but it will be interesting to see how this does, but i hope SONY stop using these Qualcomm CPUs and does what Samsung do, create their own or use TI OMAP.

I believe the UI used in the older series was also called UXP. Nothing new there. And the NXT only referes to an updated design language where the transparent buttons will be part of all Xperias in the NXT series. |

Are you sure it is a Widget ? Looks more like a Theme selector or something similar. |

These are the Timescape Widgets, as you can see from the icon on their edge.

sorry i meant the third photo.. and yes, thanks xell.. i see that now. wow.. looks like timescape has changed a lot. can't wait to see a walkthrough of this...
I'm looking carefully at the official images ... looks to me like the body of the xperia S is some kind of plastic. i'm assuming that if it were magnesium, they would say so in the description like they do for the ion? no one has mentioned it in reviews either... :/ that is kinda disappointing if it is plastic.
