New SE Devices Revealed at MWC
Sony Ericsson’s 2010 lineup will be seeing three new phones. The devices were revealed last Sunday at the Mobile World Congress held at Barcelona, Spain.
First in the new series of SE phones is the X10 Mini. This phone was initially revealed as the SE Robyn (the XPERIA X10 was originally named Rachel) and early on, it already showed the general design features that are present in the device today. This phone is literally a Mini, being almost half the size of the original XPERIA X10. Obviously, some hardware features and specs had to be dropped with the device to reduce its size. The X10 Mini helps extend SE’s range to include the low to mid range Android smart phone market.
Sony Ericsson also showed off the X10 Mini Pro, a special edition of the Mini that comes with a physical QWERTY keyboard. Thanks to its slide out form factor, the device is generally about the same size as the Mini, but only thicker. The Mini is confirmed to be available in various colors; it is expected that the Mini Pro will also have the same color choices available.
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro is a special edition of the Vivaz that comes with a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The device was originally named as the Kanna (at that time, the Vivaz was still known as the Kurara). Originally, it was announced that the Kanna would have the same specs as the Kurara with the addition of a keyboard. As the Vivaz Pro, this has mostly not changed, with the exception of the camera which has been reduced to 5 mega pixels from the original 8 mega pixels of the Vivaz. It still keeps the ability to record videos in 720p HD quality.
