Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 photos leak again

We had our doubts the first time but now we are pretty sure this is what the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 will look like. The second portion of blurry photos totally convinces that the device is really in the making and much to our pleasure this reveals a large part of its specs sheet.

Apparently the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 will feature a 3.5" WVGA OLED (!) touchscreen display and an 8 megapixel auto focus camera as its two most major upgrades. The processor speed will also be upped and the RAM will be increased to 512 MB.

The Sony XPERIA X2 will run on Sony Ericsson-customized Windows Mobile 6.5 OS (which will probably be taken beyond the X-panels UI plug-in). The panels themselves will receive some new features too, including PS3 remote play. They will also come with Windows Mobile 7 support so an upgrade will be possible when the OS eventually becomes available.

Finally, Assisted GPS will also be present onboard and so will the VGA video recording of the original Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1.

At this stage there's no official confirmation on either the release date or the pricing of Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2.

Another Great Sony Ericsson 12 Megapixel Cameraphone: Renton, Created by Razec

Sony Ericsson Idou looks so promising that the 12 megapixel cameraphone must have some “relatives” scheduled for launch in the near future. Till then we’ve got Razec’s brand new concept phone, the Sony Ericsson Renton, also packing a 12 MP camera. The device features the Symbian Foundation platform, the Ericsson U500 platform and a 3.5 inch capacitive touchscreen.
The handset’s camera supports 3 point touch autofocus, manual focus and it features a 12.1 megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor, Xenon Flash and an unique slide cover inspired by Sony DSC G3. Renton was designed by Razec

W912 Is a Neat Walkman Design

Echo.shane from the Esato board designed a brand new Sony Ericsson handset, the W910 concept phone, that you can check out below. Notice the 6 megapixel camera at the back, multimedia playback keys on the side and the touch display plus media control touch controls.

No info on the device’s specs, but I guess the W912 supports Memory Stick M2 cards and packs a decent internal memory. Walkman player on board, FM radio maybe and Bluetooth Stereo should be there too…

Sony Simplicity Concept Phone is a Break From Mobile World Congress High-Endness

08/06/2009 14:25 par slaytane

Boy, am I sick of seeing so many new smartphones launched at Mobile World Congress 2009?! Let’s have a break and check out this simple device, the Sony Simplicity concept phone, that’s pretty bulky and seems to lack high end features. It appears to have a touchscreen display, an intuitive interface and a pretty strange form factor.

No trace of a physical keypad, so the handset could pack more touch displays and a virtual keyboard. My intuition and experience tells me that the circular hinge mechanism might incorporate a projector, but maybe I’m an idealist, looking for hot features on a mid-level handset.

C910 , Promising Concept

Although we’re still fascinated by the Sony Ericsson Idou 12.1 megapixel cameraphone, there’s room for one or two handsets in our hearts. One of those could be Sony Ericsson C910, a concept phone designed by Esato user echo.shane. This compact cameraphone packs a touch display, Symbian OS and 8GB internal memory.

Sony Ericsson C910 features a 10.1 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi b/g, face detection, video light and all of that is hidden inside a 97 x 50 x 17 mm case. Plausible design? What do you say?

Sony Ericsson W903 Ryuga Is Extremely Stylish

There are very few things out there that deserve to be labeled as “extremely stylish”, but this Sony Ericsson concept phone is one of them. J. Havrlant is at it again, designing yet another beautiful handset in the Ryuga series, inspired by the Mazda concept car with the same name.

This concept Walkman phone features an OLED touchscreen display, a web feed reader, games, video playback and surely the famous Walkman player. Notice how the gorgeous interface emulates the design of the handset, that resembles the look of Mazda Ryuga. I’d buy such a device! Would you?

Blurry Sony Ericsson Concept Phone Looks Like an Android Beauty

Sealover94 from the Esato forum designed a brand new Sony Ericsson concept phone, pictured below in a pretty blurry image. No info on the handset’s name, no specs, nada… All we can notice is that it features Android OS and its design rather reminds me of a smartphone or a Cyber-shot device, so it’s unlikely that we’ll see the Walkman branding on it.

The concept handset packs a touchscreen display and a couple of buttons beneath the screen, probably used for navigation and calling functions.

Nan Is the Facebook Phone

We’ve seen a Myspace phone at some point, but it wasn’t as promising as this great social device, Sony Ericsson Nan, centred around Facebook support and neat Android widgets. The design belongs to the great WhiteEye, creator of the SE San concept handset.

Among those you’ll find YouTube, Blogger, MySpace, Friendster, Multiply and you’ll be able to customize them at will.

Sony Ericsson Nan is a mid-end web-oriented device, that packs a 3 inch TFT multitouch screen (320 x 480 pixels), a 5.1 megapixels autofocus camera with photo flash and a secondary VGA camera. Android OS is also on the specs list, together with WiFi 802.11 b/g support, aGPS Google Chrome and Picasa for Android.

Notice the full Chrome browser that should be featured on this concept device? We’ve yet to see such an initiative, but I can bet that in 2009 there will be at least one handset using a mobile version of Chrome, if not the full one.

Walkman San Concept, the X-1000 of Phones; Android Music Phone

06/06/2009 16:45 par slaytane

WhiteEye from Esato has an incredibly detailed and impressive design to show us… Believe it or not, Sony Ericsson San is a Walkman phone, one that packs a touchscreen and Android OS. It seems to draw its inspiration from the Walkman X-1000 MP3/Video player that Sony just launched at CES 2009, but takes all the specs to a new level.

The San concept phone is mid-end Walkman phone, featuring a 2.4 inches TFT multitouch screen (240 x 320 pixels), plus touch-sensitive keys with function shift. There’s also a 3.2 megapixel camera on board with flash and a secondary VGA one for video calls.

As far as software goes, Android’s at work for the first time of a Walkman device and there’s even a custom made Walkman Player for Android, with a couple of shots you can check out below.

Among the music-oriented features we must mention AVLS (Auto Volume Limiter System), DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) and Clear Bass, Clear Stereo.

With so much details in the pictures above we wonder why this is not a real phone yet… The function shift idea is particularly interesting, since we’ve seen it on a couple of devices and it would save so much space, if we could switch the use of touch sensitive keys, from phone functions to music ones.

X610 Specs and “Live” Shot Now Available

06/06/2009 16:38 par slaytane

Parsnip’s last concept was a promising start and now the designer is back with more details on his idea. Turns out that the concept phone we saw a couple of days ago is Sony Ericsson X610, a Windows Mobile 7 device, packing a 14 megapixel camera that uses a Leica lens.

X610 features aGPS, Bluetooth 3.0, WiMAX support, a 24 million color VGA screen, a Sky DVB+ antenna and a mobile projector. This handset’s specs are quite futuristic and maybe it’ll hit CES 2011, but in the meantime we must mention that it also comes with a laser pointer and a fuel cell battery.

If the image above wasn’t enough for you, Parsnip Photoshopped a “live” pic of Sony Ericsson X610, that you can check out below. Since this is an “X” phone with Windows Mobile on board, it must be related to the XPERIA series. What do you think?
