Following on from the official announcement from Sony Ericsson of the Xperia X2, the company have also officially announced one of the other Xperia handsets which had photos floating around the net and it isn’t what we expected. Many were expecting the Xperia Rachael, aka X3 to be the next Xperia handset to be unveiled by Sony Ericsson, but instead it’s fallen to the Xperia handset formally known as Kiki.

Sony Ericsson have named the handset Xperia Pureness and is due for release in November to selected markets. Unfortunately further specifications of the handset are still unknown so we’ll keep you posted. Photos and a video however have been captured, which you can view after the jump.

We recently showed you pictures of the upcoming Kiki handset from Sony Ericsson along side Rachael. Rachael has since been named the X3 by Expansys which leaves the spot open for Kiki to be the X5. With no information regarding an X4, Kiki could be that instead. From the first impressions, the handset doesn’t follow the regular specs of an Xperia handset, but located on the back is the Xperia wording, adding the handset into the Xperia line. New pictures have emerged of the handset, showing it from new angles.

It appears that the upcoming Xperia Rachael handset from Sony Ericsson, while it’s the third Xperia handset we’ve seen, it isn’t the X3. The Rachael handset has been dubbed the X5. A strange handset, codenamed Kiki is said to be the X3. Kiki has left many wondering where they keypad is, but it also features a transparent screen. Other details are scarce at the moment but it’s rumored to also run Android like the Rachael handset. The X4 is missing in the lineup, so hopefully we’ll hear some news about that soon. It was hoped the handsets would be announced via Sony Ericsson’s Twitter, but instead the C905a and W518A were announced.
