Exmor R sensor for Sony Ericsson Mobile

Sony Ericsson Neo – Live video

The Sony Ericsson Xperia neo takes Android 2.3 Gingerbread mainstream, with its 3.7″ 480×854 pixels screen, utilizing the Mobile BRAVIA Engine for enhanced sharpness and contrast when watching multimedia. The Sony Ericsson Xperia neo will come with support for HD video playback, HDMI-out port, an Exmor R sensor for the 8MP camera with LED flash. It is powered by a second generation 1GHz Snapdragon processor, so you can rest assured performance won’t be an issue here.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pro – Hands-On at MWC 2011

The Sony Ericsson Xperia pro is the first Android 2.3 Gingerbread handset with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It also sports a 3.7-inch screen with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The display features the Sony Bravia Mobile Engine for enhanced sharpness and contrast when watching multimedia, an 8-megapixel Exmor R camera sensor with LED flash and capable of HD video capture on the back, as well as a 2-megapixel shooter up front.






The Xperia Pro is the one handset from its MWC presser today that wasn’t known about in advance, but we’re damn happy to see it anyhow. It features a well-spaced QWERTY keyboard that slides out much in the same way as the gamepad would on the Xperia Play. We did notice there were some software issues on our demo devices — the Sony Ericsson-customized Android 2.3 installation was nowhere near as smooth as what we’ve seen on the Xperia Arc previously, so maybe SE will need a bit more time to fashion out its software here. Physically, the Pro is compact and seems decently well built — we did find the oddly placed power button and teeny tiny volume controls a bit of a bother to locate and operate, however. Obviously, this is a big step up in size from the Xperia X10 Mini Pro, but thickness is kept mercifully in check. It doesn’t feel significantly thicker in the hand than phones that lack its hardware keyboard. We’ll have video of the device for you very shortly, but for now, enjoy the hands-on shots below.
