Sony has completed the purchase of Sony Ericsson, which means that newer Xperia devices will arrive on shelves with the company’s branding on the front.

That includes the Xperia S smartphone that was made official in January during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and which can now be admired in an unboxing video, courtesy of XperiaBlog.

The handset packs a dual-core application processor, along with a large touchscreen display and a 12-megapixel photo snapper on the back. This makes it one of the most appealing Android smartphones unveiled to date.

The hype around this smartphone has been pretty high, and it should increase even more as the device approaches market availability. Today, however, enthusiasts can have a look at the video embedded above to see the phone and at its new branding.
