The Mobile World Congress at Barcelona, Spain was a major event for the mobile phone industry. Sunday saw the dozens of brand new mobile phones applications, and telecommunication technologies revealed in a single event.
Sony Ericsson, currently the fourth largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world, unveiled several new devices as well as showcasing some of their already confirmed 2010 lineup. Still coming this March is two of the joint venture’s high end smart phones, the SE XPERIA X10 and the SE Vivaz. The XPERIA X10 is the first Android phone from the Swedish Japanese venture and it packs a large 4 inch touch screen display and a Snapdragon processor. The Vivaz is a Symbian smart phone loaded with an 8 mega pixel camera with the ability to record videos in 720p HD quality.
It was already announced late last year and this January that variations of the Vivaz and the XPERIA X10 would be released, but no one expected the new devices to be present at the MWC.
The Vivaz Pro was originally announced as the SE Kanna. This smart phone looks almost exactly like the Vivaz; the only difference between the two devices is that the Kanna would have a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The Vivaz Pro carries this very same element, though one small detail has changed, the Pro uses a 5 mega pixel camera instead of 8 mega pixels, but it still retains the 720p HD video recording.
The XPERIA X10 on the other hand will have an X10 Mini version. The device will be almost half the size of the original phone, and with watered down specs. Many expect this device as SE’s product for the low to mid price range market. The X10 Mini Pro is a keyboard edition of the Mini.
