We now have the extremely weird situation where THREE unannounced forthcoming Android phones from Sony Ericsson have been leaked, photographed and comprehensively revealed online. There’s the “PlayStation Phone” that’s everywhere, the little 3″ update of the X10 Mini series and now this – which Mobile Review says Sony Ericsson may end up calling the “Vivaz 2″.
Powered by Android 2.3 with a 4″ 480×854 screen, the Vivaz 2 gets a very good write up, with the previewer liking the fast hardware and Sony Ericsson’s refreshed take on its user interface customisations.
It runs the Qualcomm MSM7630 at 1GHz with the Adreno 205 GPU. The guy at Mobile Review needs to take better photographs. Expect to see the “Vivaz 2″ or whatever it eventually gets named officially announced at Mobile World Congress this Feb. Link via Engadget.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
