Sony has unveiled a new functionality in the upcoming Xperia SP. According to Engadget, the smartphone has the capability to hook up with Sony's DualShock 3 controller to let you play games using real controls instead of on-screen controls, which are often pretty bad.To hook up a DualShock 3 controller to an Xperia SP, you simply have to pair both the devices via Bluetooth, as the controller uses simple Bluetooth protocols. After the first time, you can connect the controller to the SP by pressing the PlayStation button on the controller.Although only the Xperia SP seems to have this capability right now, it may be only a matter of time before Sony's flagship, the Xperia Z, can also do this. One can also assume that it won't take long for the functionality to be ported over to other devices by enterprising developers.
