Sony Ericsson projected 60% of smartphone based Android sales come with a base market of 180 million units in 2011.
Sony Ericsson Senior Vice President and Senior Technology Advisor to CEO, Ericsson Group said the company Jan Uddenfeldt expects the Android based smartphone market to 60 million units from Increase in 2010 to 180 million units in 2011. With 60 percent of Sony Ericcson’s sales coming from smartphones, Sony has forged a new pathway That Will Deliver smartphone see it That only run Android. While it has supported the Symbian OS in the past, it has dropped from the OS ITS plans altogether. Although not ruling out Windows 7 Phone, Sony Ericsson Uddenfeldt said That Will Not Be shipping the device with the OS this year.
Sony Ericsson still want to have any option other than the Android and therefore remains open to other system, besides of course your system’s native Sony Ericsson. To cash in on this market, Sony Ericsson has focused on Ensuring new devices are running its more recent releases of the Android OS. It has also Increased its Android phone line from four models in 2010, to a planned eight in 2011. This week has just released some models of the Xperia minis (Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro) but do not have the official price of the smartphones. Everything indicates that Sony Ericsson wants to enter the fray for prices of handsets and offer consumers more competitive prices to become one of the companies to have an Android smartphone accessible and cheap.

Looks fine to me! Too bad they've smudged the label showing the megapixel count of the camera
It actually plays a couple of leagues higher than the X8 
Share some more info please
Is that supposed to be a higher-end but compact phone?
Posted by HxH
If it have eight as you suggest, I think It should have one model equipped with MSM8255T single core clock at 1.4GHz
to keep compete in the market later this year if they still polishing on dual core software which position upper hand than XPERIA Arc
(HTC and Samsung will have one as well)
Unknown pink model look interesting for it size and design (thinking of LG Chocolate BL40 but this one shorter), probably equipped MSM8255 same as the XPERIA line of 2011.
And I think it have active noise cancelling microphone like upper end, look from it back and I hope it right
BTW, where is W8
Posted by nikos_se
HEY guys what do you think about the size of the x8 replacement???i think it's design is a mix of the new mini and the arc.i think we can expect a 1ghz processor,5.1mp,3.3" fwvga??i really hope that those are the specs,it also looks quite slim,maybe less than 10mm??it can be a bestseller...HOPEFULLY!!...maybe an announcement in june,and release september???

According to the XML file WT13i has a screen resolution of 240x400 which means an aspect ratio of 1.666:1.
If you measure the sides of the screen on the photos of this "pink" phone, its screen aspect ratio is very close to 1.66:1.
So maybe the "pink" phone also has a 240x400 screen (or a 480x800 one, but
has used only 480x854 up till now)

Posted by tranced
Neo is MT16 and it uses an 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon™ MSM8255
This ST18 should be something between neo and the new mini. It has no qwerty keyboard but a touch screen only. To be honest I think this is the successor of the X8.

Chinese version perhaps.
Posted by Xajel
@tranced
actually it's spec is exactly the same as Neo...
Neo's processor is sure Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8225 @ 1GHz, but it's already based on Cortex A8 ARM core, so saying that Neo have Cortex A8 is correct also...
Personally I can't see any different compared to Neo...

It can be the Cyber-Shot phone from spy pic too. It seems to have this screen resolution, but I would be more happy with HVGA, beause it would make the phone more compact, and cheaper. But I expect, if that phone exists, it will have different code, like W for walkman.

Do you really need to take 16mpx photos??? What do they have over standart 8mpx photos, except doubled size? How many SLR and DSLR with 16mpx have you seen and why do you think they're so rare? How do you expect such a small sensor to be capable of doing good photos at that size?
I'm 100% agains such phone, everything beyond 8mpx is just useless and not price worthy. SE should concentrate on the quality of the photos, not their size. I don't want to pay for 16mpx if I'm going to use no more than 3 of them ( I usually take photos at 3mpx ). That are just money, thrown to the wind.
Whatever you tell me in response, you'll never convice me in the opposite.

every ppl have there own thoughts bro ur tie but still Ppl wont get it..
I am not happy with the negative press around SE Exmor R everybody seems to be taking only abt G II.
SE wher top in camera department now they are behaving like some Average Company.
No doubt Exmor R is good but we need the best in best.
Ppl keep takin abt Nokias 12mp n G II. that makes me sad.
am no pic crazy guy etc etc.. but we need SE to makes kickass camera phone and walkman phones with android.
they where best back then why cant they do it again?
i dont care abt dual core. the 1 thing u can never Future proof these days is ur Smart Phone.
nxt yr u will see Quad core blah blah blah n Nxt yr there will be so much advance in Android OS we never knw if our phones will support those software n stuff..
i just want
to Excel in Camera n Media Department

Well You have a good point, but there is something else to it. You're absolutely right that 8mpx is enough, BUT, all we get in phones is shitty 8MP, it's as good as 3MP. My hope is, that when they release 16MP camera phone, it will behave like a good 6-8MP which would be awesome right?

No... I think it would be just worse. Neither the C905 nor Satio captured more detail with their 8 and 12 MP camera than C901 with its 5MP. When they are trying to squeeze more senzor pixels in the same, or less, space it is phisically impossible that the pictures you take to be better.
I my opinion too 8 MP senzor -but a better one- would be enough. But SE has marketing experts and they know well that most people would be prouder and more satisfied with a 16 MP phone, because it sounds better, when someone asks how many pixels has your phone's camera. And there are many people who think, or can really believe that they can shot better pictures with a 16 MP camera.
Sadly a 16 MP camera would be just much more expensive, and would make worse pictures than a 8MP one. But if you don't have an apple on the back of your phone, at least the "16 MP" would be written on the back of it.
Posted by mediar
Exactly. The mathematical equation a/b = 2a/2b doesn't apply to this case. Instead of that, while trying to "put all these megapixels" in your ultra-slim phone, you can even worsen the overal quality of the pictures in all resolutions. Everything beyond 8mpx is just addition noise, generated in the process of enlarging the photo to the exact size. Whatever they tell you, it's physically impossible to put so many photodiodes on such a small space. They try to make them smaller and smaller, but that decreases their sensitivity and affects the photos at lower resolution too. So more megapixels = lower quality in general.

There are very few TV services outside of Japan that the Acro could pick up.
