Sony Xperia S has yet hit shelves, but details on the phone's new user interface were a bit scarce until recently. It appears that a new promo video shows some of the highlights of the new UI, which is dubbed “UXP NXT.”

However, given the fact that this promo appears to have been shot in Japan, where the phone will be available as Sony Xperia NX, the name of the UI may be changed for the European version of the smartphone.

The video spotted by the folks over at XperiaBlog shows the widgets, music player, home screens, virtual keyboard, FM radio, as well as new lock screen. Unlike the old Timescape UI, the new user interface seems more smoothly designed and more stylish.

It's unclear if Sony plans to update at least some of its Xperia 2011 smartphone with the new UI, but owners can hope for it.
