Tag: "X10 mini pro"


More info of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro successor has appeared. So far we know that it will run on Android 2.3, have a 3-inch screen at a resolution of 320 x 480, 1GHz (or 800MHz) CPU, Adreno 205 GPU and a slide-out QWERTY-keyboard. A wild guess for this new Xperia family is X20, since it’s a newer generation of the X10 family.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 family Android 2.1

Those of you Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, X10 mini or X10 mini pro users who have already received the update to Android 2.1 shouldn’t get too excited about new Android releases. Sony Ericsson today told that they will not release a major update after Android 2.1. This is really a shame, and doesn’t do any justice to the hardware-wise cool Xperia X10 -family. Let’s hope Sony Ericsson will work better on their future products, and actually release firmware updates for a longer time. Android 2.3 wouldn’t be a bad thing for the Xperia X10.. :(


The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 family is now getting the Android 2.1 update in Scandinavia. The video above shows you the steps needed to update your XPERIA X10 mini or XPERIA X10 mini pro to Android 2.1. Follow this link to see the same procedure done on the XPERIA X10.

Sony Ericsson has published the first official promo video showing the benefits of upgrading to Android 2.1. Even though there’s a text in the video that the update is available now, it isn’t. You still have to wait a little longer to get your hands on the Android 2.1 love for the XPERIA X10 series.


Sony Ericsson has published a new video showing the new features of the Android 2.1 update that their Xperia X10 line will see later this fall.

Features that they demo in this video include timescape and the social phonebook. Enjoy!


Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 family Android 2.1

Sony Ericsson released a few new videos showing the XPERIA X10 running on Android 2.1. They also wrote that the update is still on track to be released in the coming few weeks (late October). It will be rolled out gradually, but the first devices should receive it by the end of this month.

First video out is a short clip showing the home screen that now has 5 panes and some other nice additions such as 5 rows of icons instead of 4. I also show some new widgets that come with the update.

I also made these two videos to show the HD video result. The first one shows a more real life use case where I move the phone from filming a far away object to a much closer one.

In this second video I instead kept the X10 on the tripod and introduce a close object into the scene. This is more of a stress test and it does struggle a little bit in the first attempt but is much quicker in the second one.

Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro - Black

The first shipment of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini pro arrived today at the store where I work.  The X10 mini pro is exactly the same as the X10 mini, but with an added QWERTY keyboard. The Android 1.6 powered little phone comes with a 600MHz processor, 2.6″ capacitive touch screen, 5MP camera, A-GPS, micro USB connector, microSD card, Bluetooth with support for A2DP, WiFi and a FM radio with RDS support.

I personally think that Sony Ericsson has done a good job with the XPERIA X10 mini pro. The screen is small, but with the full keyboard it feels quite good in your hand. Build quality also seems good, and the spring that opens the QWERTY slider is good.

Sony Ericsson today confirmed that they will release an Android 2.1 update for the Xperia X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro during the third quarter this year. The update will also add HD video recording and a feature that can connect a television wirelessly to the phone.

It’s good to hear that they have managed to cut some waiting time for you eager Xperia X10 users out there (it was previously expected to be released in 4Q2010).
