Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Coming April 13
Sony Ericsson’s upcoming XPERIA X10 Mini will be coming next month and it looks like Vodafone will be carrying the new handset.
The new smart phone has been shown off at the Mobile World Congress and has taken plenty of us by surprise. We have already confirmed that the X10 would indeed have a mini version with the previous reports of the XPERIA Robyn, but nobody expected the device to be ready and on the floor at Barcelona, Spain.
The Robyn does not come alone too. Sony Ericsson has also brought out the XPERIA X10 Mini Pro. The Pro edition actually squeezes in a slide out QWERTY keyboard on the already small smart phone. With very few Androids sporting physical keyboards, the Mini Pro is sure to be a hit.
Speaking of surprise gadgets, there was also a third debutante at the MWC Sony Ericsson booth; the SE Vivaz Pro. Like the Mini Pro, this device also sports a physical QWERTY keyboard for the Symbian smart phone –though it drops the 8 mega pixel camera for a 5 mega pixel cam and still retains 720p HD video recording capabilities.
As expected both the Mini and Mino Pro share the exact same specifications. While it has yet to be confirmed that the existing 1.6 Android Donut will be updated, many are already expecting the update to Éclair to be available in matter of weeks. With the XPERIA X10 already coming this March, Sony Ericsson will have to update the OS else it gets left behind by its Android competitors.
It is estimated that the X10 Mini will be priced at £299.99 while the X10 Mini Pro will be £339.99.
