Recently, according to Taiwan media reports, Sony Ericsson will release three new machines in the next week to mid-market with more market share.
Medium end markets
Although Taiwan’s media, and Sony Ericsson did not disclose those models will be released, but learned that “there is no arc that end, we have not seen will be several new machines.” In the past, some of the information on the network exposure, Sony Ericsson SK17i, ST15i and CK15i the potential to become the protagonist of the conference.
All three may be released in the new models, known as the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10mini PRO2 SK17i the highest frequency of exposure, and will most likely launch. The machine code-named “Mango”, the main orientation is introduced as the XPERIA X10mini PRO successors. Equipped with a 3.0-inch capacitive touch screen, support HVGA resolution and multi-touch features, and Sony Ericsson also equipped with a 1GHz clock speed for the aircraft’s high-pass snapdragon QSD8650 processor, which in the mid-market models of rare.
Sony Ericsson XPERIA Duo or
Sony Ericsson SK17i also equipped with 512MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM capacity, but also loaded with Android2.3 gingerbread system and built-in 500 million pixel camera, with WCDMA / HSDPA networks and WLAN wireless LAN, GPS navigation, Bluetooth technology, USB connection and memory card expansion functions.
Since Sony Ericsson has previously applied for, including XPERIA Play, XPERIA Neo, XPERIA Arc and XPERIA Duo, including four new trademark. Therefore, in the other machines have been fully unveiled three new cases, with the machine so often the extent of exposure, so that people have every reason to infer that Sony Ericsson SK17i may be the only remaining XPERIA Duo.
XPERIA X10mini successors
As for the other a Sony Ericsson model ST15i codename for the new machine was Smultron, will serve as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini successor soon. As Xperia X10 mini past itself is functionally almost Xperia X10 mini Pro is not much difference, so the upcoming release of Sony Ericsson ST15i in the functional specifications with SK17i should not much different. Example, will also be equipped with a 3.0-inch capacitive touch screen, support HVGA resolution and multi-touch features, and also will be equipped with high-pass frequency 1GHz snapdragon QSD8650 processor with 512MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM capacity.
As for the Sony Ericsson ST15i other features should include carrying loaded with Android2.3 gingerbread system and built-in 500 million pixel camera, with WCDMA / HSDPA networks and WLAN wireless LAN, GPS navigation, Bluetooth technology, USB connectivity and memory card expansion functions. Therefore, simply the difference between the aircraft and SK17i may be the abolition of the sliding cover the whole keyboard only.
Relatively mysterious CK15i
As for the Bluetooth testing surfaced just as the Sony Ericsson CK15i is a bit mysterious, according to Japanese media to say this phone is not a smart phone, but the A200 platform, the product of the past, will be equipped with WQVGA resolution screen and QWERTY keyboard to support 3G networks and Bluetooth technology, and other related functions do not have any configuration information.
It is worth mentioning that, although Sony Ericsson has just released the first Walkman phone Atradius system W8, but will not rule out next week before the introduction of the Sony Ericsson W15 exposure possible. And according to those who broke the news before the news, Sony Ericsson will launch this year with a group of about 9 mm ultra-thin body, with a 3.2-3.5 inch touch screen, and the price at 1500-2000 yuan.

Sony has unveiled two new Android tablets that will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb and are the first Playstation Certified devices to be announced since the arrival of the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY.

The second tablet, codenamed S2, has a dual 5.5-inch (1024 x 480) display with a clamshell design (much like a Nintendo DS). Not much else in terms of specs or price has been disclosed at this point.

New Sony Ericsson handsets to be announced next week?
Take this news with a pinch of salt, but Taiwanese site ePrice is suggesting that Sony Ericsson will unveil three new handsets, with at least one to be announced next week. They even have an image with three different silhouettes , however we’re not sure whether the shapes are those of the actual new handsets or whether it’s just for illustrative purposes. If it is true, then the likely candidates could be the X10 mini pro successor, the SK17i Mango, which we’ve already seen lots of. The other handset is likely to be the successor to the X10 mini and we may even see SE’s dual-core handset announced. Click through for a larger image, however let’s wait and see if this turns out to be true.

Xperia arc versus Xperia neo – which should you choose?
Sony Ericsson has created a dilemma for many people in the upcoming launches of the Xperia arc and Xperia Neo. Judging by our recent poll, 70 percent of you are looking forward to the Xperia arc versus only 11 percent wanting the Xperia Neo (the balance was split between the Xperia Play and Xperia Pro). However, having gone hands-on with both phones recently, we are beginning to think that many people will be swayed by the Neo once they can see it in the flesh.
Yes, the Xperia Neo is chunkier than the arc, but the anodised metallic look combined with the extra weight gives it a more premium feel. Plus, it also comes with a crucial extra – a front-facing camera. This omission from the Xperia arc even left some of the Sony Ericsson reps we spoke to slightly bemused.
Combine this with the fact that the Xperia Neo is cheaper than the Xperia arc, yet offers most of the arc’s headline features (1GHz processor, 8.1MP Exmor R camera, HDMI and Bravia Engine) then it seems that the Neo could be a potential best-seller for Sony Ericsson. On the flip side, there is no denying that the Xperia arc is a more beautiful phone. The general trend towards larger displays, also means many people will naturally gravitate to the arc.
So which handset should you choose? There is no doubt in our mind that the Xperia Neo offers the better value for money. You get most of the same features plus the bonus of the front-facing camera (for those that need it). However, comparing the two side-by-side, there is no denying that the arc is more desirable. Whether this and an extra 0.5-inch in display real estate warrants the extra money will come down to your disposable budget.
Similarities
- 1GHz Snapdragon MSM8255 chipset
- 8.1MP Exmor 'R' Mobile CMOS Sensor
- Reality Bravia Engine display
- HDMI support
- HD Video Recording (720p)
- Larger 4.2-inch screen (Xperia neo has a 3.7-inch screen)
- Sexier design (Slim)
- Thinner and lighter – despite the larger display
- Front-facing camera (missing on the Xperia arc)
- Cheaper
TechRadar crowns Xperia arc best mobile in world today
TechRadar recently updated its list of the “20 best mobile phones in the world today”, a list that has been dominated by the HTC Desire since it launched. However, the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc has gone straight to the number one position in its latest roundup.
TechRadar said it earned its place through “sheer quality” and that the handset shouldn’t be overshadowed by dual-core phones whose power wouldn’t be exploited right now. It also praised the Xperia arc for its “stunning good looks, superb screen and very decent photo performance”. The only other Sony Ericsson representation in the list was the X10 mini and X10 mini pro, which came in at 15th place.
1. Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
When we talk about a Phoenix Phone, it will forever be the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. A company that was making phones like the Xperia X10 on outdated software just a year ago has brought out one of the world's thinnest and most attractive handsets that sits atop our 20 best list.
And it's earned it place on our list through sheer quality - the things we're impressed with on the Xperia Arc are almost too many to list.
From the beautiful Reality Display with Bravia Engine to the powerful-yet-simple 8.1MP camera with Exmor technology, this is one of the phones that people actually want to hold and play with when you show it off.
The new Sony Ericsson overlay has cool features like an 'exploded widgets' view, and the integration of YouTube searching for videos of songs currently playing is super cool too.
OK, it's not dual-core powered, but until we start seeing some applications that really start to challenge these smartphones, we're happy to recommend a phone that is slick under the finger, slim in the pocket, satisfying in the hand and kinder than many on the wallet to boot.
Quick verdict
The hardware is extremely impressive, both in terms of looks and performance. Forget the fashionable dual-core phones – when done right, a single-core 1GHz processor can do it all.
As it is, we're prepared to overlook the Xperia Arc's minor flaws thanks to its stunning good looks, superb screen and very decent photo performance. You can't help but love it once you've held its magically thin body and gazed adoringly into its dazzling Reality Display.

Sony Ericsson Xperia arc on White & Black
White Xperia arc on the horizon?
Having seen some of the different colours available for the Sony Ericsson Xperia acr, we were feeling a bit envious that they weren’t seen on the Xperia arc. Black and white should be standard colours and whilst the Midnight Blue arc is close enough to black, there’s no white alternative. Luckily it looks like Sony Ericsson may have a white Xperia arc round the corner. The images below were snapped by an insider who says it is an original white Xperia arc rather than just a change in casing. This looks like it would be a nice addition to the Xperia arc family, especially for those who treasured their white X10’s.
Upcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) snapped in every angle, sized up against X10 mini pro
Sony Ericsson has a notoriously bad reputation when it comes to leaks and it doesn’t look like that will stop any time soon. We have a full gallery of pictures below of the yet-to-be-announced successor to the X10 mini pro. The Sony Ericsson SK17i ‘Mango’ will be an Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) device with a 3-inch (320 × 480) display, 5MP camera and sliding QWERTY keyboard.
It has been pictured in almost every angle by the bods over at Mobile.163 in high-res detail leaving nothing to the imagination. They’ve also conveniently compared the handset to the X10 mini pro in a number of the pics (remember the X10 mini pro has a smaller 2.55-inch display). Other things we noticed was a flap cover for the USB port and a 1200mAh battery. All of the pictures are available after the jump.
Anyway, this maybe just a concept prototype. Just share to all Sony Ericsson fans here, this would run below of Xperia Pro specs & it might work without a Mobile Bravia Engine & Exmor 'R' CMOS Sensor, but the design is still pretty cool right.

Sony Ericsson on Android Market
April 13th, 2011
Today we’ve launched our very own channel in Android Market. We’re the first mobile phone manufacturer to do this and I’m really excited to see what we will be able to use it for. It should start to become available for most of you out there starting from today. It is an operator dependant feature though so it will not be there for all of you but most of you will get it.
What it means is that the “My Apps” option in Android Market is replaced by a link to our specific channel. (Don’t worry – “My Apps” is still available as well if you press the menu key.)
We will use this channel for many things, as a starting point this is our plan:
- Provide recommendations to help you find the best games & apps that enhance your Sony Ericsson ‘most entertaining’ experience.
- Provide a way to easily find original apps from Sony Ericsson such as Timescape plugins etc.
- From time to time offer exclusive games & apps only available in this channel.
- Help our developer partners promote their apps & games giving them a highlighted market space to our consumers.
This will give us a unique opportunity to more easily help consumers finding the stuff that we often get asked about or things that we know really enhances the user experience of our phones.
I’m sure there are more ways we could use this channel going forward so if you have ideas or suggestions on what you think we should do just shout away in the comments section!
