At the E3 conference which was held last night, Sony announced an upcoming PlayStation smartphone from HTC. This will be the first outside of their own company. Sony only teased fans of HTC and PlayStation with the announcement, as they didn’t provide any specifics regarding the handset. Andrew House, CEO of Sony took a handset out of his sport coat as he made the announcement and it looked very much like a production model. Despite not providing much information, for fans of HTC handsets the fact that HTC have joined with Sony in their licensed program is great news.

The CEO also made the announcement of a PlayStation Suite, a toolkit that gives developers the chance to merge PlayStation products into devices running on the Android operating system. The toolkit suite will have the name of PlayStation mobile. PlayStation mobile allows fans of the popular games console to enjoy a PlayStation experience on mobile devices which have been PlayStation certified, this includes the PS Vita.

HTC One X hardware would be a good start
WIth the top HTC smartphone at the moment the HTC One X, we would love to see the upcoming Playstation phone based of its hardware. With quad-core processors, a super-bright LCD2 display measuring in at 4-inches and running the latest Android OS, it would no doubt attract fans of Sony Playstation titles. Here’s hoping they do better than the Sony Xperia Play does.
