Two Sony Xperia smartphones will be unveiled by Sony during the Mobile World Congress. These smartphones, the Sony Xperia P and the Sony Xperia U, will be the first dual-core Android-powered smartphones of the company following its acquisition of Ericsson recently.

The Sony Xperia P and the Sony Xperia U are expected to be delivered to Barcelona for the annual trade event for mobile gadgets.  The Sony Xperia P and the Sony Xperia U will have the capability of connecting to the Sony Entertainment Network, which would provide users with a number of entertainment options.

The Sony Xperia P and the Sony Xperia U will also feature the Bravia graphics, which will facilitate the display of websites, games, and HD movies.

Even as Sony Xperia P and the Sony Xperia U share some features, they also have some differences which would give users of the two Android-powered smartphones different user experiences.

The Sony Xperia P will feature the WhiteMagic technology that allows the display of text and images with excellent illumination. The four-inch screen of the smartphone will also focus on the content and provide solid details with its 960 by 540 qHD resolution. The Sony Xperia P also features an eight-megapixel camera that has the capability of recording 2D as well as 3D panoramas.

In contrast, the Sony Xperia U will come with a 3.5-inch display screen that features an 854 by 480 resolution. The Sony Xperia U also features a five-megapixel camera.

The two Android-powered smartphones from Sony also features the near field communication or NFC technology, which would allow the devices to utilize the more advanced features of the Android 4.0 OS like the Google Beam and Google Wallet. This is however dependent on an Android 4.0 update or the use of the latest Android OS for the device.

However, some observers have indicated that they were somewhat disappointed by the use of the dual-core processor on the Sony Xperia P and the Sony Xperia U instead of a quad-core processor. For the moment the price tag of the two devices were not yet revealed by the company.
