Sony Ericsson Brings Out New Mobile Phones for 2010
This week has been full of surprises -thanks mostly to last Sunday’s Mobile World Congress.
The Japanese Swedish joint venture Sony Ericsson had its own share of news with the reveal of the new X10 Mini, X10 Mini Pro and the Vivaz Pro. Already we have seen many of the initial specs and images of the XPERIA X10, Vivaz and the Aspen –three major SE devices that many wanted see.
The XPERIA X10 is an Android smart phone that runs on the Snapdragon processor. It also has an impressive 4 inch capacitive touch screen and it uses the new Timescape and Mediascape user interface. The only flaw about this smart phone is that like most high end smart phones, it is not a good device for the general market. Not everyone will dish out the money for a Snapdragon powered behemoth.
SE’s answer to this is the X10 Mini and the X10 Mini Pro. Both of these two devices share the same watered down specs of the XPERIA X10, at the added bonus of a significantly smaller size and a cheaper price tag. The “Pro” in the second smart phone connotes the presence of a slide out physical QWERTY keyboard.
The Vivaz Pro is pretty much the same. It is a Vivaz Symbian smart phone with the ability to record in 720p HD video and has an additional slide out QWERTY keyboard. There is one more difference between the two devices; the Vivaz Pro only has a 5 mega pixel camera while the original Vivaz has an 8 mega pixel camera.
The Aspen Greenheart smart phone which runs the new Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Maldives OS is unlikely to ever get a Pro version since it already has a physical keyboard.
