Vaio has already announced its first laptops since it broke away from Sony, but its smartphone comes as a bit of a surprise. It doesn’t really fit the premium image we’ve gotten from previous Vaio products, but it seems a relatively capable device nonetheless.
t best, it's a humble-looking mid-ranger that is toting a not-so-affordable price tag and seemingly does not come with a true show-stopping feature. The same can be said about its specs - we have a 5-inch 720p display at the front, a quad-core 1.2GHz chipset (most probably a Snapdragon 410 MSM8916 one), 2GB of RAM, as well as a 13MP camera at the back.
The phone is running on Android 5.0 Lollipop, marred by no custom UI and providing you to an almost-stock Android user experience. Reading the specs sheet and eyeing the clean, somewhat sterile exterior design, you'd probably imagine that the VAIO Phone will be flaunting an oh-so-affordable price tag, right?
Wrong! The handset will cost you 51,000 yen, which is roughly $420. The phone will launch on March 20 in Japan and will most probably remain a local exclusive..
