Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo, previously known as Halon, follows the XPERIA Play pattern of leaking every few days. There is another preview today, 10 days ahead of its announcement, confirming the specs we already knew.
Sony Ericsson has failed completely on keeping its secrets before the MWC this year. It seems all of its upcoming and still unannounced phones have leaked numerous times, leaving nothing new for unveiling on 13 February.
After the countless leaks and previews of XPERIA Play, the Neo has taken the same road. It's been just two days since the last preview and here we meet again.
There are no new pieces of information in the TechRadar's preview - just lots of hardware photos and a few software ones. But it's still disturbing how these secret prototypes break loose and go public through major websites.
The new pictures once again confirm the Vivaz-esque design. The Neo has the same form factor (even the human curvature shape of the back), as well as the looks and front controls. But it's an Android smartphone.

The XPERIA Neo specs should be very similar to the Arc's - 4-inch LED-backlit LCD (Reality) touchscreen with 854x480 pixels resolution, next-gen Snapdragon platform with 1GHz processor and Adreno 205 GPU, 512MB RAM, an 8 megapixel camera with Exmor R sensor, LED flash and 720p video recording capabilities, 1.3 or 2MP video-call camera and rich connectivity package incl. an HDMI port.

As we previously told you, the Neo (also known as Vivaz 2) marks a new beginning - the aging Symbian OS is giving way to a shiny new Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the same customized UI as the XPERIA Arc.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo will be announced on 13 February in Barcelona. We sincerely hope that Sony Ericsson has managed to keep a secret or two and surprise us there.
