Pink and blue Sony Xperia S may include faster CPU, sell as Xperia SL

Rumors have been circulating for a while concerning the Sony LT26ii, said to be an Xperia S (LT26i) with slightly updated internals. And today we might have our first glimpse of the device, as the render above made its way out on notorious Sony-leaking Chinese site IT168. On the face of it, the chassis is identical to the older Xperia S, only the device now comes in a couple of new colors. The internal changes are what's really new -- there's allegedly a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S3 powering the SL, up from 1.5GHz in the Xperia S. On the software side, we'd certainly hope that this thing would ship with at Android 4.0 or later, rather than the Gingerbread-based firmware that was on Xperias S, P and U out of the box.

If these reports are accurate, this turn of events would perfectly mirror last year's late Q3 bump from the Xperia Arc to the Arc S. Announced at IFA 2012, the Arc S gave Sony's 2011 flagship gain a couple of new colors and a slightly faster CPU. This time around, though, Sony faces tougher competition than ever, so we're sure it'll want to push out new high-end hardware wherever it can, following a somewhat lackluster early 2012 line-up. Our money's on an announcement at the IFA show in Berlin next month.
