The Xperia X10 Mini Pro’s Successor Leaked!
By on December 29th, 2010

I don’t know what is with Sony/Sony-Ericsson. Almost all of their new products get leaked weeks before their official update, and for the most part, there is no fun in their official updates (which are tediously written and rather slow).

However, the folks over at Sony Ericsson have been up to promising things with their PlayStation Phone (the Xperia Play) up and coming with some rather nice features. The smaller cousin of the X10, the X10 Mini (and Mini Pro) packs quite a tight punch with its tiny screen and processor and is quite a popular phone. Thus, SE decided that it just needs to notch up the processor, run it off Gingerbread (Android OS 2.3), add some wicked fast graphics chips and let it run amok with Neocore and Quadrant to see just how fast a tiny computer can be.

It is extremely fast (if the leaked photographs are to be believed) with a Neocore framerate of 42.5fps and a Quadrant score of 1,533. The original leaker on the SE.it168.com forums says that it sports a 3-inch (320×480) multi-touch display, a 1GHz CPU and an Adeno 205 GPU. The pictures seem legit as the unofficial X10 blog rightly points out that the overall hardware layout seems similar to the previously previewed ANZU with regard to the button layout.

Is that excessively exciting? You bet! I personally use an X10 Mini Pro since I’m averse to large-screened phones (I have to take extra care of them) and really like a QWERTY solution. If this phone has a QWERTY slide-out keyboard, I know what my next phone will be the mini version of the PlayStation Phone!

    Hello,
    I am madly love with SE Xperia Mini Pro,though i feel reluctant to buy it because of some reviews of this phone I went through online.There were many problems explained in these reviews such as no zoom while taking a picture,difficulty in bluetooth file transfer(i guess that can be solved by app download via android market),poor battery life etc….these things didn’t bother me as much as the news of no android 2.2(froyo) update for this mobile…..
    I went through ur posts too and i found out that u are also using this cell phone,so I want to ask u if there is any way by which we can update it to froyo???
    I also read in ur post that SE is launching the successor of Xperia series with Gingerbread(android 2.3) onboard………if its true,then when are they expected to be launched in the market??what will be their prices roughly????
    Advise me some other good Android 2.2 or 2.3 phones roughly around 15000,my budget is 15000,plus/minus,1000……….
    Looking forward to ur reply as my decision to buy phone depends on ur reply……
