Sony Xperia J gets (P)Reviewed before it’s even announced

As is tradition with mobile-review, they’ve managed to get their hands on the Sony Xperia J (ST26i) and previewed it just a week before it might be announced at IFA 2012.

The Xperia J boasts a 4 inch screen that apparently suffers from glare, bad color reproduction and low viewing angles. Not something that usually happens with Sony’s BRAVIA screens so I’m assuming their unit is either a prototype or not retail (obviously since it’s not even announced). Or maybe it’s because the Xperia J is an entry level device and doesnt have the bravia screen tech?

Apart from that you have Android 4.0.4 with an older version of Sony’s NXT UI on top, capacitive buttons, a microSD card slot, 512MB of RAM, and a 1700 mAh battery powering things. There’s a front facing camera, 5 megapixel camera at the back, with a single LED flash but it only records video at a low 640×480. D’oh.
