MWC 2010: Sony Ericsson announces Xperia X10 mini and Xperia X10 mini pro

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini

Sony Ericsson announced two new Xperia smartphones earlier this week. The two, the Xperia X10 mini and Xperia X10 mini pro, are inspired by the Xperia X10 but offer a more compact form factor.

By introducing mobile phones that are both compact and clever, Sony Ericsson is challenging the norm and defining a brand new offering that combines high specification features with a version of Sony Ericsson’s powerful UX platform specifically designed for smaller devices.

Both the Xperia X10 mini and X10 mini pro are powered by a 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor and Google Android 1.6 with the Sony Ericsson UX interface. They will come with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and either dual or tri-band (depending on the model) UMTS/HSPA connectivity, a 2.55-inch QVGA touchscreen display, 128MB of internal memory, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth with A2DP, a 5MP camera with auto-focus, an FM radio, a 3.5mm headphone jack, micro USB port, and a microSD card slot (supporting cards up to 16GB). The X10 mini pro also comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

Both the Xperia X10 mini and X10 mini pro will be available in Q2 2010 in select markets. Pricing has not been revealed.
