The FCC boys were clutching at their multimeters in horror once they saw how much work they’d have got to do when Sony’s new Xperia S rolled into the bunker. Still, their loss is connectivity’s gain, because the Ericsson-branded phone is packing: GSM 850/900/1800/1900, GPRS/EGPRS, UMTS I, II, V, VIII, HSPA, RFID, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, 802.11 WiFi b/g/n and GPS. The corporate also found room to squeeze in ANT+ , the fitness tracker sensor, that will promise some healthy accessories at the horizon.
In related news, owing to a post at the company’s Facebook wall we all know that the unit can be clad in an “anti-stain shell,” — hinting at the same nano-coating to what we have seen at the Droid Razr . We’ve also heard rumors of a quick-charging mode that’ll provide an hour’s usage with just ten minutes of cable-time. Either way, it won’t be long until we discover out what’s true, because the unit’s sashayed past the FCC then it’s most probably on for that promised Q1 launch.
