CDMA Xperia Play visits FCC, promptly gets dissected

There are few things we enjoy greater than seeing the glittery innards of a tool splayed before us inside the name of science — especially when it happens to be the CDMA version of Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play . The Verizon bound phone made a cameo on the FCC today where it was subjected to — and passed — the same old battery of SAR tests before getting dissected. What’s intriguing in regards to the pictures within the FCC report is that the CDMA model features the identical combination SIM / microSD card slot as its GSM sibling . While some are theorizing that Verizon’s gaming handset might support LTE, we expect it’s much more likely that the Xperia Play uses a dual-mode CDMA / GSM radio and that the SIM slot will either remain empty and disabled in firmware or that the Xperia Play shall be considered one of Verizon’s global offerings. Look at the gallery below and decide for yourself.
