At the back of the Xperia S resides a 12-megapixel camera with Sony’s Exmor R backlit sensor, while at the front there’s a 1.3MP camera for video calling purposes.

Sadly, the Xperia S will come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box, but don’t fret as it will get an Ice Cream Sandwich update in the second half of 2012.

The Sony Xperia S will be available in two colors – silver and black and should hit stores at the end of the first quarter of 2012.
