Sony Ericsson unveils next-generation Xperia minis
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Introducing two powerful, versatile and compact smartphones
* Xperia(TM) mini - the world's smallest HD video recording smartphone
* Xperia(TM) mini pro -intuitive fast messaging in a compact smartphone
May 5(th), 2011, London - Sony Ericsson unveils the new Xperia(TM) mini and
Xperia(TM) mini pro, the latest additions to its Xperia(TM) family. Building on
the success of the original mini series, these innovative smartphones come
packed full of features, powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon(TM) processor,
and run the latest platform of Google's Android(TM) - Gingerbread 2.3.
Beautifully designed, Xperia(TM) mini and Xperia(TM) mini pro both integrate
best-in-class imaging and display technology from Sony, including Reality
Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine and HD video recording (720p).
The products offer a full multimedia entertainment experience. Xperia(TM) mini
and Xperia(TM) mini pro enable access to over 150,000 apps on the Android
Market(TM) and has a 3" scratch-resistant, multi-touch glass screen. The
improved user interface allows up to 16 apps displayed on the home screen.
Facebook inside Xperia(TM), a feature just announced for the Xperia(TM) family,
provides a unique social media integration.
Xperia(TM) mini pro brings the optimized slide-out keyboard with smart
functionality first seen on the Xperia(TM) pro to a compact smartphone. A subtle
but fast Type & Send functionality eliminates the need to open a dedicated app
for each type of message, and Smart Keyboard triggers predictive messaging
actions automatically when the user slides out the keyboard. Xperia(TM) mini pro
also comes pre-loaded with Office Suite and McAfee antivirus software, letting
consumers manage documents and e-mails instantly and securely while on the
move.
Steve Walker, Head of Marketing, Sony Ericsson said, "We wanted to provide
consumers even greater choice across the Xperia(TM) range, while building on the
success of the original mini series. These turbo-charged smartphones now contain
even more power, enhanced functionality, a larger screen and premium features
unique to Sony Ericsson. They are packed full of features, making them a perfect
choice for consumers looking for all the benefits of Android and Sony in a
beautiful and easy to use compact form factor."
Sony Ericsson also unveils today a new integration, Facebook inside Xperia(TM),
which will be included in the new Xperia(TM) mini and mini pro and soon to be
available across the wider Xperia(TM) range. Facebook inside Xperia(TM)
integrates social connections throughout the phone, by making Facebook
immediately accessible from the most used areas of the phone such as the picture
gallery, music player, phonebook and calendar. As people are becoming
increasingly reliant on their smartphones for instant communication, Sony
Ericsson is enabling people to 'like', share and comment more easily than ever
before with Facebook inside Xperia(TM).
