MWC 2012 overview
We're at Sony's first MWC press event as a standalone mobile phone manufacturer.
Sony gets right to it - Xperia P (rumored as Nyphon) and Xperia U (rumored as Kumquat) go official. They are the smaller versions of the Xperia S.
The Xperia P has a 4" display of qHD (540 x 960) resolution, which features the so called "White Magic" technology for superior sunlight legibility. It has an 8 MP camera with 1080p video recording and a dual-core NovaThor U8500 processor with 1 GB of RAM. It's an aluminum unibody device.
Xperia P
The Xperia P will come in brushed aluminum finishes in three versions. It also has NFC connectivity compatible with the Xperia smart tags.
The Sony Xperia U has a 3.5" 480 x 854 Reality display, Sony's xLOUD technology, a 5 MP camera with 720p video recording, dual-core 1 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM.

The Xperia U's transparent band at the bottom changes color too.

Both devices will be globally available in Q2 this year.
Also the Xperia S is now shipping globally and will be available at the Barcelona Sony Store exclusively this week.
Here's our overview of the Sony press event including hands-on with the devices.
Back in October, Sony had announced that it will be purchasing Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson's 50 percent stake in the Sony Ericsson joint venture for €1.05 billion, turning it into a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony. And although the deal was supposed to finalize in January, it took a bit longer than that but the process is finally complete.
Starting today, Sony Ericsson will be officially known as Sony Mobile Communications. Every new phone launched from the company will bear only Sony's name, and we have seen a couple of them already. However, the existing range of devices out in the market will continue to bear the Sony Ericsson name.
