Xperia X10 hands on with photos

QuBic — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:19:41 +0000

The very lucky girls over at Chip Chick have got their hands on the recently announced Xperia X10 from Sony Ericsson. For those who missed the news, the Xperia X10 is in fact what was dubbed the X3, codename Rachael. The handset is due to be released February 10th, making the girls even luckier.

The handset is the first Android phone from the company and appears to have the best UI compared to other released or announced Android handsets. Enhancements have been made for multimedia by using MediaScape interface instead of Android’s built in media player., which is sure to make use of it’s 4 inch display. Display resolution is an impressive 800 x 480.

Other changes over the Android interface, include the Nexus interface, which includes MediaScape and TimeScape, which can be set as the homescreen integrating various social sections, such as Facebook, contacts, emails, Twitter etc as floating stacks. Other changes and customizations include a Nexus widget and a built in blue theme. Hopefully when the handset is released though, we’ll see more themes to go with it.

The mini teaser site we reported on yesterday has indeed turned out to be the announcement for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. If you missed the recent news, the X10 was formally known as the X3, or Rachael. The specs are pretty much the same as what were leaked, 4 inch touch screen, 8 megapixel camera and Qualcomm Snapdragon. The X10 will come with Android and will be Sony Ericsson’s flagship phone for the first half of 2010. No specific date was specified apart from Q1, we also don’t know what price range this handset will come in. We can however confirm that it will be coming in black and white. It’s also been made known that, the handset will use a unique UX platform on top of the Android operating system.

More pictures of Sony Ericsson Racheal appear

QuBic — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:28:40 +0000

The lucky folks over at Mobile Crunch have got hold of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Rachael and taken some “spy pics” to share around. The pictures aren’t the best quality we’ve seen and Into Mobile reports that the snaps were taken with a Motorola RAZR phone. The handset is seen with the standard Android UI instead of the Rachael UI previously seen. While the photos were taken with a lower end camera phone, the lighting in the photos is better than other leaked shots of the handset but, still a bit blurry.

Sony Ericsson Rachael to be announced tomorrow?

QuBic — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:47:16 +0000

Rumors around the web point to Sony Ericsson making an official announcement about the Sony Ericsson Rachael handset. It’s better known as the X3 but, as we previously reported, the handset could be renamed to the X10. On the Sony Ericsson website, they’ve started a “teaser campaign” for consumers to keep ears and eyes open on November 3rd. While the page doesn’t directly mention the Rachael handset, the main image on the page is named “Rachael – infinity”. The slogan on the image reads “Sometimes there’s a thin line between the extraordinary and the magical. Did we cross it?”. Only tomorrow will tell, we’ll keep you updated on the news.

Xperia X3 to be renamed?

QuBic — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:34:22 +0000

We first heard of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 as Xperia Rachael, Sony Ericsson’s Android powered smartphone. It’s since become known as the Xperia X3 but, there’s a chance that when Sony Ericsson officially announce the handset, it may be renamed to the Xperia X10. The numbering may not seem logical but, with other Xperia rumours it’s very possible that it could be the X10. We have the upcoming Xperia X2, the Xperia Kiki is supposedly the X5 and the Xperia Pureness. The Pureness was briefly considered the X4 because of the missing handset in the series but, if the X3 does become the X10, it explains why we haven’t got an X4 and perhaps Kiki won’t be the X5 after all. We’ll keep you posted on further updates.

Xperia X3 with Snapdragon caught

QuBic — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:21:33 +0000

It’s already been rumored that the upcoming Android powered Xperia handset from Sony Ericsson will feature Qualcomm Snapdragon technology. The handset has been captured running what does appear to be Snapdragon. The Acer Liquid also uses this technology, tying both handsets as the fastest Android phones. The model on display is running Android 1.6 but, when the Xperia X3 is released it’s expected to ship with Android 2.0. The handset is also likely to include an improved display over the X1 with a sharper 4 inch touch screen display with a resolution of 852×480.

‘Amateur’ Xperia X3 photos

QuBic — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:42:34 +0000

While this photos are rather blurry, it does appear to be the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 in these photos. The photos, while blurry are definitely better than nothing. The shots show off the operating system of the handset. The X3 moves away from Windows Mobile and uses Android instead. The UI is still in the early stages of development at the minute but, it’s a good insight into how the OS will look on the handset.
