Following the launch of no less than four new Xperia devices at the beginning of the year, Sony is gearing up for the release of more smartphones, one of which should feature model number MT25iA.

Nothing has been officially confirmed on this mobile phone, but it has already been spotted on the AnTuTu benchmark, which appears to confirm its existence.

The handset is expected to arrive on shelves with a 1GHz application processor inside, complemented by 341MB of RAM.

At the moment, the mobile phone is running under Android 2.3.4 operating system, but there is the possibility that Sony would load the newer Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on it as well.

However, the one thing that seems to be certain right now is that this will be an entry-level most probably cheaper than the MT27i ‘Pepper,’ the guys over at Xperia.net note.

As some of you probably know by now, the Pepper sports a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 480 x 854 pixels resolution and scratch-resistant glass.

It also packs a 1GHz dual-core processor, a Mali-400 graphics processing unit and 8GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card.

The Pepper features a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back with autofocus, LED flash and HD (720p) resolution, but there's no secondary camera in the front.
