That is a very good looking phone if you ask me. I don't think it will be release globally as the OS is for the Chinese market isn't it?
I like the way SE are staying with the cool design of the X10, although I'd like to see more metal used in the materials.

@goldenface its running android. most likely the newest one.
more or less the x10 look alike..

Isn't it an Android based OS for China Telecom? I don't think it will be receiving the same updates as our X10s will it?
Posted by xell
Nope. And we'll never see it "here".

Press release:

Edit: It can operate with GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900
The battery cover seems to be metallic:

I love the OS, finally without Google!
Posted by se_dude
Can anyone please provide some leaks? This is getting to my nerves now.
Posted by c96sthl
really hope this is the model out due to timing with china mobile but SEMC do have a WCDMA version for other region......
I won't go for a EDGE only phone since at this moment, my c901 is my modem as well.....

history about Ophone...
they have their own revision release...china mobile site claim its at version 2 now.
what make me get interested....is SE using Mediatek chip or all those Qualcomm chip they are using now....hope its not the former...only mention this because of the TV function which commonly found in many Mediatek based phone
Posted by Ricky D
We'll not see it outside China.
On a seperate note the X10 has finally made it into China (posters on every bus stop and some stores have dummy models already) without twitter and facebook integration but with Chinese social network integration and includes SE's playnow store. It doesn't have a special OS just the standard android with UXP and doesn't support SCDMA but the same as the other X10i s, WCDMA/HSPA.

what thing will they show?a tablet?
Posted by cableguy
Hopefully the X20 (or whatever its called)
Posted by goldenface
I don't think they will be showing a tablet. In a recent interview they said they would rather leave that to Sony.
Posted by wiraperkasa
and i dont think
will show x20(or whatever they will called) just yet since x10 still using 1.6 android
Posted by motvikt
Hopefully some kind of phone atleast
There was an article in the swedish newspaper "dagens industri" today quoting Bert saying that SE aims to be the worlds largest android phone maker. Also he said SE has a 17% market share in the android segment (omg?) and the biggest market share held by a unknown company (htc?) is 23%.
If thats true then damn... They sold way better than I thought...

hmm, SE said they will be releasing 16 phones this year, they announced 15 so far (if you include the a8i)

that's interesting news. Sounds unlikely, but look at it this way: Nokia don't do android. HTC are probably the biggest android maker. Then the next biggest Samsung, but they also (like SE) have a smattering of OS's. So if SE work hard I think it's plausible that they could hold the 2nd largest android share. Especially if they ditch s60. And as much as I love my Satio, s60 is a really sucky OS.

I asked SE Germany some weeks ago if they're at IFA and they replied that they indeed are, but only at the reseller area.

Ah, that's a pity. The last couple of years have seen early September announcements too, but I guess it's been all change as far as the old schedule goes.
Posted by doministry
Interesting to know anything about Xperia on WP7
Posted by HxH
Q4 will sometime!
schedule had been changed.
Idk, I'm feel like I'm bit declining from
spell, especially after major purchased of Satio.
I hope
ditch s60 out because of really lack of supported over software new features
(If you don't understand please check 5800XM latest firmware over 2 two years now and still new update avail
- I expect a half of this from
BUT .............. everyone know what happen though software work fine don't have problem with it )
and fully driving to Andriod segment as it WP7 can't make much of customizable.
actually I found way back in with Timescape in XPERIA after some touches I love it but I'm still not sure if it good decision if I'm go back.
How can I make sure that Satio's case won't happen to me again.
Just my two cent.
Posted by Ricky D
Really quiet over here.. I thought we were due an announcement in September or am I mistaken?
Posted by tranced
Yeah,
will be updating their X10 to 2.1 
Posted by Ricky D
We knew that but surely that's not the announcement right?
I want to know what I'm going to get for my upgrade which is due soon, and I'm hoping for a powerful tab device (a new handset I'm not interested in as I love my X10) with SE branding, but something exciting would be nice.
The last big exciting announcement was.... *wrinkles forehead in thought* the X10, let's face it the minis were interesting but not mouth wateringly count-the-days-hours-and-minutes-till-release exciting.
I think it can only be a good thing that there hasn't been an announcement in so long because it must mean they're reducing time between announcements and releases, but we must be due something right?
Posted by goldenface
I'm hoping there is something soon or are we going to have to wait a couple of months till when the X10 was announced last year - November?
Posted by avmaxfan
2 powerful high end smartphones will be launched soon by
One will be the successor to Xperia X10 (Android device with 3.0 Gingerbread and 1.2/1.5ghz processor)
and the other one will be the Xperia X2 successor (Windows Phone 7 Device with 1.2ghz Qualcomm processor )
Its good to see
keeping their next 2 high end smartphones a secret and it only shows that they have learnt from the mistake with the X2 and the X10
Both the devices will be out by the end of the year.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Can't tell if this guy is a troll or what. If those phones really are coming, they certainly wont be 'out' by the end of the year, but they may be announced.
Posted by Ricky D
Well, avmax, you certainly seem to be sure of this information and it makes sense what you say but I can't see a 1.5GHz processor being released this side of Q2 next year nor Gingerbread for that matter (at least not from
).
I do like the tight lipped thing though. From my memory all the best devices from
have been announced when no-one even had it on the rumour radar.
Posted by wiraperkasa
"If se will launch 12 mpx Android smartphone in October they will win a game for 2011.
This product have to be one of the first of next gen"
we should take avmax words more seriously now.above was eldar tweet.3 important words 1. 12mpx 2. android 3. next gen
Posted by domipost
And one important remark: Eldar
Posted by motvikt
Eldar may be crazy but he is a good source for new mobiles. Besides its only logical SE-wise to upgrade the camera in the successor to x10. Hope they've done something to the optics aswell.

any news on upcoming symbian phones?

I am almost sure there won't be any. SE will concentrate on Android and WP.

Oh, I'm sure there will come a 12mpx SE Android Phone, but the question is when. Eldar has just as much been right as wrong, so I don't think he's that good of a source. Remember he kept claiming that the Nexus One rumours were fake? Or that he said that Bada wasn't able to run any native apps?

Wonder if that means there acutally is a 12mpx phone or if he wishes there is one
Posted by Phoner
I understand there is one.
Posted by tranced
And with next gen we can think of Gingerbread?
Posted by Ricky D
It sounded like a heavy hint that one exists and is possibly ready to announce but the commentator sounds worried about the release timescale.
I think next gen should read the next generation of type of device i.e. not a camera that isn't as good as it says on the box, faster than the standard 1GHz CPU, integrated GPU, smoother transitioning or he could just be talking about the next gen of the X10 series.
Posted by avmaxfan
Nope sorry by out I meant they will be "released" in the market by the end of this year around Christmas time.
The two devices (maybe more than two) will be announced in the coming weeks by
And if you noticed, SE lately has reduced the gap between announcement of a device and it actually being available in the market (Eg. X8, Cedar,Yizo,Zylo....etc)
And as far as I know there is no 12mp Android phone coming anytime soon
Posted by rss_ndrsn
^But SE are developing one right?
Posted by Ricky D
It sounds like good news avmax, I hope you're right.
As for a 12MP android phone I'm not actually that bothered about it. I want the cam speed in my X10 to be upto scratch first.
Posted by goldenface
I don't have a problem with the cam speed in my X10, seems to be fine for me.
Anyway, I would rather them keep the MP at around 8 and improve the optics - we've been asking for this for a long time. Xenon would be nice but not if makes the phone thicker - I prefer it to be around 10 - 12mm.

Ah man, i was waiting for a nice high end symbian^4 device.
I don't like Android, its not mature enough to do what i expect. (i'm used to UIQ with lots of nice extra's)
I won an X10 with a contest, but i sold it, its to boring.

^^
Well not quite likely mate
is focusing on Android for the future and most of their high end smart phones as well as feature phones are expected to have Android. Windows Phone 7 is also something that they will concentrate on but definitely not as much as Android.
At the same time as long as Symbian enjoys a significant market share, it will be likely that
will launch phones with Symbian, similar to Vivaz.
Posted by goldenface
Doesn't look like there will be a PSPhone this year, if this guy is to be believed. link, but then again, we've been down this route many times before.
Posted by juris15
isn't mr. bert said that they're working on a device closely with Sony and it will be launched this year? correct me if im wrong... maybe that's the ps phone...
