New Sony Ericsson Phone

4,3" screen @ 720p
1,4 GHz cpu
It seems to have a built in screenshot function, looks interesting or is it on the new Android version standard (it should be):

It should be the Xperia Duo.

I personally doubt it given that almost every aspect of those specs differs from what has previously been rumoured about the Duo - the CPU, the screen size and the screen res are all different.
Also, I can't see the appeal of a handset with a 720p display and such a relatively poor CPU/GPU.
To power a handset with a screen like that, you'd want something better under the hood.

The specs actually quite match the Duo's. 1.4Ghz might just as well be a 1.4Ghz Dualcore. 720p display will never happen for now just because it's useless and SE would have to redo their whole UI for it (everything has to be rescaled). And the screenshots are definately not from a 720p device.

Even assuming they've somehow confused single-core and dual-core, none of the rest of the specs match up.
Not that there's much in the way of specs mentioned in that article...
It could be the Duo but probably only if that article's completely wrong.

yes, the single-core wont match the HD screen. So the pierce of info is just fake. Or at least, it contains much wrong info.

But the screen shot is not 720p, maybe they just tested the ROM on an Arc or whatever. And the article indeed says single core

Oops, forgot to post the links, thanks.

I have already seen the phone. My friend works for SE and has got his hands on it. According to him, the processor is the exact same as we have in the Arc. It has just been upped to 1.4ghz. Thats all I can tell you...

Official ZTE Blade II confirmed

The only real upgrade point in my mind is the arm 11 processor. Would make a big difference in capabilities.

Seems a shame it's not 1ghz though

I think you're getting mixed up. ARM11 = ARMv6 Cortex A8 = ARMv7, No difference all smartphones nowadays use ARMv7. But ARMv6 is commonly used in budget droids

yes, i would have thought it was a better upgrade.
but i think this phone is for people who dont have the original and want a phone thats cheap with decent specs.
kind of like the htc desire s compared to the old desire

Had a quick look and ppl want a lot more for the S and the Desire ...almost twice the price. So the Crescent is by far the best option at the price.

I suppose, but its very similiar to the desire to desire s upgrade;
They beefed up the CPU slightly, added a front camera, and made the design nicer

the blade is a great phone, but the battery is appalling .... Hope they fix that in the new version.

minimal changes, even I will not buy ... leave ZTE Blade

'Xperia Arc HD' and 'Xperia Nozomi (Ion)'

I guess they are two different phones, often confused as being each other. If you look at the 'Nozomi' It has that kind of ring-like buttons at the base but the Xperia Arc HD this is not present on the back cover photo-shot.
I had my suspicions but all will be revealed at CES 2012
Anyone looking forward to them.
Features Known: Dual core processors, 12 megapixel camera........list goes on etc.
Do we seriously need 12 megapixel cameras or is that just to make the product stand out in the market?
Can Sony make a comeback against the dominating HTC, Samsung etc. smartphones?

Nozomi and arc HD are the same phone.
Nyphon and xperia DUO are other rummored phones..
Nozomi (arc HD) will have
1.5 SINGLE core CPU
1GB ram
16/32 GB internal memory
NO MICRO SD slot
MICROSim only
12mpx (or 13)
and 720p display (720*1024)

The single core CPU sucks imo, even if it's enough ^^
When all other brands use dualcore they should/have to do it, too.
Won't buy that phone, outdated on release...

If these are the specs most arc users will either stay with arc go for different phones. The only Thing that will make me get this phone is if it's build quality is half as good as iPhone4.

No problem, mate.
It's the MSM8660 chipset.

Whoops sorry.....I thought the same

Since they said 1080p video recording I guessed it was dual core Anyways I have to wait for few months until they reduce the cost when it comes out, I'm sure it will do very expensive. Sony always are

You could just buy a normal One X and overclock it.

Yep. Xperias are so bad, tested it @ o2, deleted all widgets from the stock launcher and it was still laggy ;D (Xperia S), and the HW buttonz are so bad. Nthxbye

Nothing new. All it is, is just a slightly upgraded version of the Xperia S.
I love my PLAY by the way ( ha it rhymes )

Might consider Sony's next flag ship (GX, Haysbusa?) since I want a Snapdragon S4

Is there a FTF file for the Xperia SL? I might wanna try flashing it on my Xperia S

Xperia SL
Got my SL couple of days ago. I had Galaxy SII earlier. Although, SII is a beast but this isn't a bad deal at all. Great phone, Superb Excellent display.... It rocks....
Couple of things which I didnt like are :
1. The buttons are not responsive. Sometimes you have to click 2 - 3 times to get it work. But I got a trick that instead of pressing the button, just swipe it downwards and it works like a charm.
2. The usb connector is on left side which is sometimes very awkward. Should have been at botton like GSII.
Rest all is cool....

It is still a sexy A$$ phone! I saw this phone a month ago & I still like/want it.

CM10 run perfect and the hdmi out is good?

This device is still using the Qualcomm S3, which is a cpu from carrier locked SII, its hopelessly underpowered regardless of clockspeed. It'll have trouble with newest 3D games and some HD movies. The Galaxy Nexus OMAP and SII Exynos 1.2Ghz are faster. And this thing is still running ICS which is not acceptable being released today.
One thing Sony need to do for people to buy their phone is keep up with the hardware and software technology.

Yea, it seems to be a Sony Mobile trend to release outdated stuff. I guess they rely too much on their "Sony" reputation, and not enough on actual quality. Shame, they could do so much better.

the phone is already old.
you are not forced to buy it, so why is it a shame?
let them do what they want!

We can definitely take apps from this phone if they don't have XHDPI and XXHDPI drawables in them. The XZ apps are so big because of the bigger resolution images. Hopefully Sony won't also tone down the UI to make it like a low-end phone.
