Sony Ericsson has been a regular in the headlines in the last couple of days when it was reported that the manufacturer is getting ready to launch a new flagship device in the form of the LT28at. In addition to that, there have been leaks as well about the Sony Ericsson Nozomi, a handset that could very well be running for the flagship title as well.Sad to say, we are currently lacking with details about the two handsets. In addition to that, it hasn’t been ascertained yet if the LT28at and the Nozomi are one and the same and not two distinct smartphones. What we can be certain of though is that there is a possibility that Sony Ericsson will release a device that will have the name “Xperia Ion”.This development came up when the company reserved the Xperia Ion name via the USPTO and filed for a trademark with serial number 85493863 for the said model name. due to this, there is a fair chance that the handset that Sony Ericsson will be unveiling at CES 2012 could very well have this name for that matter.If it turns out to be the Nozomi that gets the Xperia Ion branding, here are the details of its specs sheet to give you an idea of what the handset brings to the table.The Nozomi will come with a circuitry based on the SnapDragon platform and this handset is expected to pack a QualComm Snapdrago chipset with an SoC architecture. This type of chipset will give the Nozomi a dual-core 1.5GHz Scorpion processor in addition to a dedicated Adreno 220 graphics processing unit.The Nozomi is also expected to pack a full gigabyte of RAM and would be available in either 16GB or 32GB version when it comes to its storage capacity. It is also expected to show up with a massive 4.3-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display with a 1280 x 720 resolution and pixel density of 342 ppi. The display of the Nozomi is said to made of scratch-resistant glass while the shooters of the handset will be a rear-facing 12MP shooter and a front-facing video call camera. The rear unit of the Nozomi is said to be capable of capturing 1080p clips at 30fps.When talking about the LT28at on the other hand, this device is said to be headed AT&T’s way once it becomes officially announced. Not much is known about the handset at this point but certain leaks point to the device as having a dual-core processor running at 1.5GHz. it also comes with a bigger 4.55-inch Reality Display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.In addition to that, the LT28at is also expected to come with LTE support in addition to the whopping 13-megapixel shooter that graces its back panel. The front shooter of the LT28at on the other hand is rumored to be capable of capturing 720p clips. All in all, Sony Ericsson is said to be breaking into the superphone category with the LT28at.Whichever way the Xperia Ion name gets used, we are pretty sure that Sony Ericsson has got some rather exciting smartphones up its sleeve just waiting to be released. With that in mind, we just can’t wait for the company to make the announcements.
