Sony Xperia S hits UK, carrier Three is the first to get it

The Sony Xperia S finally completed its journey to the UK and is now available for purchase. The first smartphone to ship with the Sony branding, rather than Sony Ericsson, is already offered by Three both on a contract and on a pay-as-you-go basis.

You can have the Sony Xperia S for free if you are willing to sign a contract on The One Plan worth ?30/month or ?36/month. That would give you all-you-can-eat data, 2,000 minutes and 5,000 texts and, of course, the chance to own the latest and greatest in the Xperia world.

Alternatively, the Sony Xperia S can be had with a pre-paid card, but you'll need to pay ?369.99 upfront. You'd need to spend ?15 or ?25 extra for either an All in One 15 or All in One 30 package, but you won't have to commit to Three long term.

Sadly, the Sony Xperia S is still unavailable at the Three UK online store, so you'll have to visit one of their brick and mortar stores if you want to get it, or just wait for a few days until it comes up.

The other major UK carriers are all expected to start offering the Sony Xperia S in the following weeks, but we are yet to learn more about the specific conditions each of them is going to be offering.

First press shot of the HTC One X appears

The hotly awaited HTC One X has its first press image leaked days before MWC. Now we can finally see the Taiwanese 720p LCD droid face to face in clear view.

As you can see, those icons have lost of real estate all to themselves on the One X's 4.7-inch 720p LCD screen, which will run HTC's refreshed Sense 4.0 UI skin on top of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Seems like HTC isn't ready to ditch the capacitive hardware buttons in favor of the virtual ICS ones. If you are curious about how HTC Sense UI 4.0 will look like, go have a look.

There are still three days left until HTC officially announces the One X. Currently, besides the 4.7-inch screen, it's pretty much certain the One X will feature a Tegra (3) 4-PLUS-1 chipset, 1GB of RAM and an 8MP camera at the back.

Stay tuned for our in-depth coverage of everything MWC 2012 and especially our hands-on of the HTC One X.
