Sony Ericsson planning replacement for Xperia X10 Mini Pro smartphone
Thursday, January 13, 2011 - 23:08:23
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro was part of a successful range of smartphones and now it looks like a revised update will be hitting the market in the coming months, after leaked images and specs appeared online.
The X10 Mini Pro has a full QWERTY keypad and images published on Engadget show that a sleek, slightly larger Xperia-branded mobile bearing this key feature is being developed.
Reports suggest that this unnamed smartphone will run version 2.3 of the Android operating system and it will also have a three inch touchscreen display that is half an inch larger than that of the delightfully dinky Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
Housed within a 1GHz processor and independent graphics chip will give the follow-up handset a decent degree of power. This could mean that decent photography capabilities are also on the card, as a speedy processor is required to enable things like HD video recording.
In February the Mobile World Congress Event is being held in Barcelona and observers believe that Sony Ericsson could be using it to unveil this scaled-down Xperia variant. Others have said that it could be a phone destined for launch in the Chinese market and nowhere else, which would put a UK release on the rocks.
Until some official word has been published it is difficult to judge how the X10 Mini Pro's replacement will be received but the full QWERTY keypad is preferred by messaging and email fanatics, while a slightly bigger display will make it much better for web browsing and media playback.
With many different smartphones breaching the four inch screen size barrier and even budget handsets like the Orange San Francisco sporting 3.5 inch displays, it seems Sony Ericsson is intent upon catering to a shrinking niche.
