We know for some time now that Sony Ericsson (SE) is working on Google
Android base mobile phone, but the company has been keeping mum on
details, However pictures leaked by a Danish site appear to reveal Sony
Ericsson’s upcoming Android phone, and it looks like a good one.
Code-named Rachael, Sony Ericsson’s Android phone will be announced
later this year, according to information obtained by the Danish Mobile
magazine. The phone will part of SE’s XPERIA series, which so far
includes the Windows Mobile-based XI model.
And as SE joined the Open Handset Alliance in December last year, it
was shaping out quite clearly that the Swedish company would join the
Android-running smartphone army, Mobil says that the Android-loving SE
Rachel is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon platform (QSD8250), which
would give the phone processor speeds of up to 1GHz and 7.2Mbit per
second HSPA downlink speeds.
The leaked pictures also show the SE’s upcoming Android phone
featuring an 8.1-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. At the top
of phone a 3.5mm headphone jack and a mini USB port are also present. No
specific details on the phone’s display size or resolution were
released, but the Dutch magazine says it has a pressure-sensitive
touchscreen.
Some of the specifications of SE’s Android phone are looking very
good in comparison to other smartphones on the market today. An
8.1-megapixel camera would be most powerful on an Android handset yet,
and remarkably better than the 3-megapixel camera on the latest iPhone
3GS. On the Android realm, the HTC Hero and the Samsung Galaxy have only
a 5-megapixel camera.
It’s highly likely that SE’s Rachel will run on the upcoming 2.0
version of Google Android operating system, which is also expected to be
released towards the end of this year. As for Adobe Flash, it is yet
unclear whether this phone will feature this capability.
