We’ve received a tip-off from an anonymous source who has left us valuable information about the Sony Xperia S and Samsung Galaxy XCover. Both of the devices are expected to launch on Optus in the middle of next month — stores will be able to order them in two weeks.
The Xperia S is Sony’s latest flagship device and is set to impress with its stylish looks (check out its specs here). The Galaxy XCover on the other hand is a heavy-duty device (IP67 certified) that’s able to be covered in mud and drowned in water, and it will still work just fine.
- 3.65-inch 320×480 capacitive display
- Android 2.3
- 800MHz single-core Marvell CPU
- IP67 certified dust+water resistant
- 3.15MP camera
There’s currently no confirmed pricing, however, when we find out we’ll pass the info straight on to you guys!

can’t wait for the Sony Xperia S to be released. I am waiting for a NextG version to be released and then i will be getting it 😀 Mobiciti dont have a nextg version 🙁
Every Xperia S can connect to the Next G version, Mobicity are clueless….
Apparently the Sony Xperia S is due at Dick Smith within the next 2 weeks as well for $555, not sure if this is branded or if it’s a mistype of the Xperia Arc S considering the low price for a flagship.
Been waiting a while for the Xperia S launch now.
