Sony Ericsson’s MWC Surprises
Nothing makes us happier than seeing news about brand new phones. This is why Sony Ericsson has given everyone a nice big helping of joy when they brought out three totally unexpected devices during the MWC.
While it was already expected that the Android smart phone XPERIA X10 with its Snapdragon processor would be present at the event, no one knew it would also come with its successor, the XPERIA X10 Mini and the never before announced X10 Mini Pro.
The X10 Mini was previously rumored as the SE XPERIA Robyn. The X10 Mini Pro on the other hand, was totally unheard of before now. Looks like Sony Ericsson is truly expanding the market range for their devices. The X10 Mini is a significantly budget friendly revision of the high end XPERIA X10 which is not meant for general use (no matter how good the specs of the X10 are). The X10 Mini also cuts down on the large size of the X10 which makes it ideal for carrying around and storing in a bag.
The Mini Pro is a QWERTY keyboard version of the X10. This slide out variant provides plenty of accessibility for users that engage in plenty of messaging and typing purposes. Initial images of the X10 Mini and the Mini Pro showcase the many different colors of the devices.
It has been confirmed that it will be using the old Android 1.6 Donut operating system, though it is expected that an update to version 2.0 Éclair or higher will be made available soon. So far, Sony believes that the X10 Mini is as small as today’s current technology can go. They still managed to pack plenty of hardware into the small device too.
