Sony Xperia Mint details leaked

Another well stocked high-end smartphone

Details of another Sony handset have made their way onto the web, this time surrounding the Sony Xperia Mint.
We first got wind of the Mint name back in January, when a leaked roadmap of Sony handsets for 2012 turned up, with the Mint pegged for a September arrival and a price tag of 562€ (around £440/$680).
According to Russian site Mobile-review, the Xperia Mint (or Xperia ST30p as it's also known) packs a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 4.3-inch HD (1280x720) display, Android Ice Cream Sandwich, a decent sounding 13MP camera with LED flash and micro SD slot.

IFA arrival?

The Xperia Mint looks to slide into Sony's handset range alongside the Xperia S (and Xperia Ion in the US), which sport a similar array of specifications, so similar in fact we struggle to see why we'd need the Mint at all.
This could well be an indication that it won't be making its way over to the UK or US, with Sony focussing the Xperia Mint on other markets instead – but it's likely to make an appearance at IFA 2012 in September, so keep an eye out for more information.
We've contacted Sony asking for more information on the Xperia Mint and we'll update this article once we hear back.
