The PlayStation Phone Gets a whole Preview [PlayStation Phone]

We’ve been hearing about a PlayStation Phone since August , with enough leaked video here and there to whet our appetite. But today, Engadget’s got a whole preview of what we now know as the Sony Xperia Play .

Engadget confirms that the phone will run Gingerbread underneath a 4-inch multitouch 854×480 LCD display. Apparently to have a 1GHz processor of unknown provenance, a Adreno 205 GPU, and 512MB of RAM that publish some very impressive benchmark scores. That, combined with a wiser-than-decent 5MP camera and an interface that sounds modestly improved over the woeful Xperia X10 , makes the Xperia play sound find it irresistible’ll be a solid phone beyond any gaming considerations.

The physical buttons look like what you’d expect from any other Android phone: back, menu, home, and search are coupled along with your standard power button and volume rocker. Needless to say, that’s until you push the screen up to expose the control pad.

The controls resemble the regular Dual-shock controller, except there’s just one shoulder button per side in place of two. It apparently has some balance issues given the tip-heavy display, although they were only in a position to run games off of emulators-we’re still looking ahead to a native gaming experience.
