Sony Xperia S unleashed in silver

The Sony Xperia S impressed with its super sharp screen and excellent camera when it debuted earlier this year, and now it’s back for more. A flashy new silver version has landed on the Japanese mobile company’s official blog, and it’s headed our way.

The “dark silver” Sony Xperia S will join the existing black model, giving a much more subtle granite look to the super fast, 1.5GHz 4.3-inch Android phone. While the news will be of little use to existing Xperia S owners, it could tempt more people to make the jump from their current handset. The matte black finish on the Xperia S was a bit of a letdown compared to what’s inside it, picking up fingerprints like an actor on CSI. With any luck, the silver Sony Xperia S will stay a bit more polished.

Sadly, we don’t know when the new silver Sony Xperia S will launch, or even if it will make it to Blighty, but the company says that it’s “about to arrive” so we’ve got our fingers crossed. We’ve contacted Sony Mobile UK to find out, and will update as and when we hear back. Where do you stand? Sony Xperia S, HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone 4S? Let’s hear your thoughts on the new colour scheme in the comments.
