Sony Ericsson LT26i Nozomi high-res images leak

by XB on December 12, 2011

 It was only last week that we were speculating that it won’t be too long before high-resolution images of the Sony Ericsson LT26i ‘Nozomi’ leak and here they are courtesy of GSM Arena. 

We have seen the front of the phone plenty of times, but now we get to glance the sides too. The left side has a micro USB slot (with cover) and the right side has HDMI slot (with cover), a volume switch in the middle of the phone and a reasonably sized camera button. The phone eschews the curves of the Xperia arc and has a very boxy design.

Strangely the glowing strip at the bottom looks like it is made out of see through plastic as the icons can also be seen on the back of the phone. GSM Arena’s tipster has verified a lot of the details we brought to you exclusively over three months ago.

This includes a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 4.3-inch (720 x 1280) display, micro-SIM, no microSD slot, 1GB RAM, 16/32GB of internal storage, 12MP camera and sealed battery. The tipster also confirms what our sources have told us i.e. that the phone will launch with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread and then receive Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at a later date. We’ll bring you more details as we have it, but in the meantime check out the lovely pictures below.

Black Sony Ericsson LT26i Nozomi spotted in the wild

by XB on December 7, 2011

The previous live pictures if the Sony Ericsson LT26i ‘Nozomi’ were of the white version, however as we revealed over the weekend a black version is also being planned. Now it appears that live pictures of the black Nozomi have been snapped in the wilds of Hong Kong.


The overall appearance looks similar to what we’ve already seen with the Sony Ericsson logo sitting above the ear-piece and a front facing camera to the right. We then have what looks to be a >4-inch display, with a slightly wider bezel than seen in the recent render.



The most revealing part of this new photo is the capacitive buttons which sit behind three small white illuminated dots, quite a nice touch in our view. Previously we had only seen the actual tiny icons (menu, home and back) that sit above the thin glowing strip at the bottom. We’re not sure what the small triangle towards that third capacitive button is (this could be a sticker and nothing related to the phone). We’re also not sure what the line of text is above the Xperia logo on the bottom. Although this could be a reference to this particular prototype, hence why it seems it has been blurred out.


Another photo has appeared from Concept Phones, but instead of being a render this seems to be a live model. It shows a silver trim on the side edge not seen in the other photos. Most of the features do seem very similar to the above photo, although there are small discrepancies when comparing both photos. However, the photo below may have been of an earlier prototype, or as the author points out, the guy that sent it in could have created this mould himself (must be a huge Sony Ericsson fan if true!) Either way, with leaks intensifying it shouldn’t be too long before we have some higher-res live shots of this beauty soon.

New Nozomi pic surfaces; to be called Xperia Cloud?

by XB on November 30, 2011

A new picture of what is supposedly the Sony Ericsson LT26i ‘Nozomi’ has emerged. It is a tiny photo (which we have blown up below) and looks like it was taken from a crop of a Sony Ericsson spec sheet. The picture looks very similar to the recently leaked Nozomi photos at the beginning of the month.

Interestingly, this new picture seems to suggest that the name of the handset will be called the Xperia Cloud (at least that’s what it looks like to us). You can also half-see a list of specs on the right side which includes the fact that this handset will have a candybar form factor and come with a dual-core processor. The picture appears to show the handset running Android ICS with typical SE UI colours. This could very well be a fake, you can judge for yourself below. We’ll bring you more news as we have it. 


Thanks adsada!

Exclusive: Sony Ericsson Nozomi landing in March 2012 with a powerful 1.5GHz dual-core, 4.3-inch 720p screen.

One of our insider Sony Ericsson sources has been in touch recently to give us some more details on what will be the company’s hero phone for 2012. Nozomi will be armed with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 32GB internal storage and a monster 4.3-inch display with 1280 x 720 resolution. This would give it a pixel density of 342 PPI, above that of the iPhone 4 at 326 PPI.

Nozomi will be the first Sony Ericsson phone to come with a micro-SIM and will have no memory card options. It will also come with NFC and a 1750mAh battery. The phone is currently scheduled for a March 2012 release , which would make sense as this is when the company normally launches its new ‘Hero’ phones i.e. the Xperia X10 was launched in March 2010 and the Xperia arc / PLAY was launched in March 2011.


It goes without saying that we’d classify all of this firmly under the rumour category for now and our source says that some of the specifications are subject to change. We wouldn’t normally speculate without hard proof but this source has given some credible information in the past so we have no reason to doubt.

Thanks tipster!

Rumour titbits: Sony Ericsson Nozomi is global phone

by XB on August 25, 2011
in News,Rumours

An anonymous tipster has got in touch with a few bits of information regarding future handsets. First up, he says that the Sony Ericsson Nozomi, the next Sony Ericsson flagship rumoured to run a 1.4GHz processor and sport a 4.3-inch 720p display, will not only see release in Japan (through DoCoMo with model number SO-02D) but will also be released globally. It will come with the model number LT26i / LT26a.


Secondly, we recently wrote about the Sony Ericsson SK19 suggesting it could be a Xperia ray pro. However, he says this model is now cancelled. It was a keyboard slide phone being developed for AT&T in the US and would have sat in between the Xperia mini pro and Xperia pro. The reason we trust him? He told us all about the Xperia neo V before today’s announcement including the difference between it and the Xperia neo. We’ll bring you more news as we have it.

Thanks tipster!
