James Bond will use Sony Xperia T phone in SkyFall

At IFA in Berlin, Sony CEO Kaz Hirai has revealed that Xperia T, the latest smartphone from its new Xperia range is set to feature in SkyFall – the 23rd James Bond film and first to feature an Xperia smartphone from Sony.

Sony has been in the field with 007 before as Sony Ericsson, with gadgetry featured in previous missions Die Another Day, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.

Sony Ericsson first partnered with Bond for Die Another Day starring Pierce Brosnan in 2002, using both the T68i and P800 in the film. Sony Ericsson phones have since featured in all Bond films, with the K800i and M600i making their debuts in Casino Royale, and the C902 bringing limited edition glamour to Quantum of Solace.

Xperia T will be part of a new range of smartphones available upon the film’s release later this year.

• 4.6” HD Reality Display powered by the Mobile Bravia Engine for razor sharp clarity
• 13MP fast capture camera that goes from sleep mode to snap in just over a second
• Full 1080p HD video recording capabilities and a 720p HD front camera for the highest quality content
• PlayStation™ Certified
• Latest generation 1.5GHz dual core processor for improved battery life, fast performance and ultra sharp graphics
• MHL connectivity for viewing content on a big screen without the need for a charger

More details on the phone will be released over the next few weeks.
