To me it looks (feels) like a SONY (Not SE) product with an XPERIA logo!
Hopefully my feeling is wrong.

I am pretty sure that leaked photo IS the front, see the XPERIA engraved into the plastic that is typical for the xperia line for the xperia logo to be at the bottom of the front of the handset in the centre.

If it was the back then the xperia logo would be along the back in the centre (when the phone is rotated in landscape) unless they've changed the design that has to be the bottom of the front!


I'm still not convinced, look at the curve, it is classic human curvature to be rounded along the sides of the back, it make the phone 'feel' thinner in the hand. I believe it's the bottom of the back and as a white battery cover. It's less of a design change to put the xperia logo on the bottom than it is to curve the front outwardly. It's also much less weird.

If you look at the way the reflections distort closer to the edges it's clear its not at all a mild convex curvature.



Well shall see, I just can't see that imo.

Just a thought but it is interesting that the white isn't actually in the centre of the phone and equal at the edge. What I mean is, at the bottom left of the picture you can see a black strip and the white doesn't go right to the edge, where as on the other side (top right of the picture) it does, which could be down to the angle of the phone when the photo was taken, but the transparent strip and black ingraved xperia part line up with the wite on one side, but not the other. Which is interesting because it should be symmetrical (the white should go to the edge on both sides, or there be a black strip on both sides instead) which would suggest to me that it is actually not part of the phone. But something the guy has placed on top of the screen. Don't know why he'd do this, maybe just to confuse us? thoughts?

I think that Guy has interchanged the Back cover there must be a BLACK device and WHITE device ..

Posted by Ricky D
@adsada
I'm pretty certain it's just the way photo has been taken. I can produce almost exactly the same image if I switch my white and black X10 battery covers.



Edit: I can even get the 3.5mm nubble at the top in the same way.

IT IS THE BACK OF THE DEVICE!

Why is it so hard to get round it. If it is the front, there is LOTS of empty space! And no, the white plastic is not the screen, because it is PLASTIC!

Quite off topic but here is some evidence that I'm not a big fan of Qualcomm mobile solution. It's below average performer and only dual core which is not use Cortex A9 instruction, only double Cortex A8 in one chip. Cheap tech but sell expensive

Nice, mali400>adreno 220

Lets wait and see....Hopefully if sony ericsson chooses st-ericsson,they will choose the a9540 or the a9600 platform,and not the a9500.




Mali400 a single core maybe ahead of Adreno 220 (referred back to Aurelius's report a months ago) but I'm curious how it will perform against Adreno 225 in next year release because Mali400 initially launch in early 2009 but no one adopt it until Samsung jump in and goes for Mali400MP which quad unit and one of the most powerful graphic chip in market but still can't catch up to PowerVR543MP2's power in A5

Earilest of A9600 which paired up with PowerVR sixth generation will available in 2013, maybe they could make some sale with 2012's survivor

Possible next year release could be Nova A9500 combined with Thor M5730 modem which reasonable but will not be high among competitor in same market because A9500 still use 45nm manufacturing and A9540 is 32nm which same as Exynos 4212 newly announced from Samsung.

The u9540 has 4xtimes the graphics performance of u8500 and is manufactured at 32nm,while it clocks at 1.85GHz.If uses something like that,it will definately should be on par with galaxy s3 and better than the H1 2012 qualcomm-powered smartphones,since most of them will use the adreno 220 gpu and will be clocked at 1.5ghz.Krait goes for sampling this quarter,so i dont expect krait-running smartphones to hit before june 2012 and those will most likely be manufactured my HTC since they are the first to use the latest qualcomm chipsets.

Again,if we judge by last year,when the Desire HD was using the processor that all 2011 xperia are using, 2012 flagship smartphones are likely gonna use the processor that sensation XE is using now.

Haha nice edit, though proves why is just has to be the front! Why would they place the SONY logo landscape and the XPERIA engraved one portrait. Look at all XPERIA phones to date... I am so convinced I am willing to put money on it

But it can't be the front due to the curvature, and I don't see any problem with having one logo horizontal and the other vertical.

Posted by idumbakumar
Is it a chinese copy cat? I dont think its nozmi. Se never copied their own design Obviously! I don't want that too happen. We expect some fresh design.

it same MSM8260 ? but clock is running at 1.5Ghz instead 1.2Ghz.

btw, Cortex A8 instruction is too old for smartphone today and unable to catch up with Cortex A9 even worse Cortex A15 is yet to come in OMAP 5.

Posted by adsada
I don't really see it curved and if I'm honest, it looks a lot like the bottom of the front of my arc (without the straight bottom edge, and not chamfered)

I've done a quick mock up of what all (excluding the active and x10 mini) Xperia handsets have in terms of their logo layouts on the cover.

What is the problem of it being the backside of the device?
Here are some XPERIA devices with horizontal "EXPERIA" inscription on the back:





Posted by adsada
In the case of the active and x10 mini, they both have the SE green liquid logo right above the XPERIA writing, which is absent on the device in question?

Ericsson: Sony to acquire Ericsson's share of Sony Ericsson

October 27, 2011, 08:16 (CEST)

Sony Ericsson to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony and integrated into Sony's broad platform of network-connected consumer electronics products
The transaction also provides Sony with a broad IP cross-licensing agreement and ownership of five essential patent families
Ericsson to receive EUR 1.05 billion cash payment
Sony and Ericsson to create wireless connectivity initiative to drive connectivity across multiple platforms
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) and Sony Corporation ("Sony") today announced that Sony will acquire Ericsson's 50 percent stake in Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB ("Sony Ericsson"), making the mobile handset business a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony.

The transaction gives Sony an opportunity to rapidly integrate smartphones into its broad array of network-connected consumer electronics devices - including tablets, televisions and personal computers - for the benefit of consumers and the growth of its business. The transaction also provides Sony with a broad intellectual property (IP) cross-licensing agreement covering all products and services of Sony as well as ownership of five essential patent families relating to wireless handset technology.

As part of the transaction, Ericsson will receive a cash consideration of EUR 1.05 billion.

During the past ten years the mobile market has shifted focus from simple mobile phones to rich smartphones that include access to internet services and content. The transaction is a logical strategic step that takes into account the nature of this evolution and its impact on the marketplace.

This means that the synergies for Ericsson in having both a world leading technology and telecoms services portfolio and a handset operation are decreasing. Today Ericsson's focus is on the global wireless market as a whole; how wireless connectivity can benefit people, business and society beyond just phones. Consistent with that mission, by setting up a wireless connectivity initiative, Ericsson and Sony will work to drive and develop the market's adoption of connectivity across multiple platforms.

"This acquisition makes sense for Sony and Ericsson, and it will make the difference for consumers, who want to connect with content wherever they are, whenever they want. With a vibrant smartphone business and by gaining access to important strategic IP, notably a broad cross-license agreement, our four-screen strategy is in place. We can more rapidly and more widely offer consumers smartphones, laptops, tablets and televisions that seamlessly connect with one another and open up new worlds of online entertainment. This includes Sony's own acclaimed network services, like the PlayStation Network and Sony Entertainment Network," said Sir Howard Stringer, Sony's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr Stringer also noted that the acquisition will afford Sony operational efficiencies in engineering, network development and marketing, among other areas. "We can help people enjoy all our content - from movies to music and games - through our many devices, in a way no one else can."

"Ten years ago when we formed the joint venture, thereby combining Sony's consumer products knowledge with Ericsson's telecommunication technology expertise, it was a perfect match to drive the development of feature phones. Today we take an equally logical step as Sony acquires our stake in Sony Ericsson and makes it a part of its broad range of consumer devices. We will now enhance our focus on enabling connectivity for all devices, using our R&D and industry leading patent portfolio to realize a truly connected world" said Hans Vestberg, President and CEO of Ericsson.

When Sony Ericsson started its operations on October 1, 2001, it combined the unprofitable handset operations from Ericsson and Sony. Following a successful turnaround the company has become a market leader in the development of feature phones by integrating Sony's strong consumer products knowledge and Ericsson's telecommunications technology leadership. The WalkmanTM phone and Cyber-shotTM phone are well known examples.

With the successful introduction of the P1 in 2007, Sony Ericsson early on established itself in the smartphone segment. More recently, the company has successfully made the transition from feature phones to Android-based Xperia(TM) smartphones. By the end of the third quarter of 2011, Sony Ericsson held a market share of 11 percent (by value) in the Android phone market, representing 80 percent of the company's third quarter sales. During its ten years in operation Sony Ericsson has generated approximately EUR 1.5 billion of profit and paid dividends totalling approximately EUR 1.9 billion to its parent companies. Prominent models include "XperiaTM arc" and "XperiaTM mini" which received 2011 EISA Awards, while recent notable additions to the lineup include "XperiaTM PLAY" and "XperiaTM arc S".

The transaction, which has been approved by appropriate decision-making bodies of both companies, is expected to close in January 2012, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

Ericsson has accounted for its 50 percent share in Sony Ericsson according to the equity method. Following completion of the transaction, Ericsson will have no outstanding guarantees relating to Sony Ericsson and will no longer account for Sony Ericsson as an investment on balance sheet. The transaction will result in a positive capital gain for Ericsson which will be defined after closing of the transaction.

SEB Enskilda is acting as Ericsson's sole financial advisor in the transaction.

So is next year's thread going to be "Sony -Sony Ericsson Portfolio 2012" ?

Posted by randomuser
SONY 2012 portfolio. The SONY devices come out next year. It was mentioned in one of articles about the press conference earlier today by Sony regarding the takeover. Nozomi, Aoba and the likes are most likely cancelled as they mentioned devices made by SONY and not under development phones.
We might see SONY phones announced at CES 2012.

Well, according to Swedish news papers, the company will keep the name Sony Ericsson for a while longer. They state they will change the name, but currently do not know when this will be done.

Cancelling anything that is already more or less developed would just be a strange move. I'm betting it will be business as usual for some time and then gradually changing into the new Sony organization.

In the press conference today Sony made it clear that a task force has already been set up to come up with a new name and "Sony Ericsson" name will continue only for a "short term". So by January will no longer be used.

Posted by goldenface
It wouldn't surprise me if Sony have already been developing their own mobiles but my guess is that during the transition period, which is from today, current mobiles under development could be rebranded under the new name - whatever that may be.

Vaio Mobile maybe?

Not Vaio Mobile. It will be a completely new name. And I believe so will be the products i.e. No under development phone will be sold as there are indications SONY phones are already under development .

Also I think now on the rumor threads here will never have much activity as Sony products won't leak out and the reason we have had so many leaks was that R&D was in Sweden and most members here are European. But Sony R&D will be in Japan and also Sony is quite strict with regards to "leaks".

Last hope is....they don't go and remove the logo by Takuya Kawagoi

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=110799

that's I can say the nicest looking logo for a phone company.

If you ask me. Motorola/ Nokia/ Samsung/ LG/ RIM/ ZTE/ HTC all have lousy logo (oh well...some of them have none but with boring font)

HuaWei is so so....

only Apple and have a logo that you can recognize them without having the company name printed.

ok enough on this.

Yes all R&D will move to Japan together with Sony's Vaio and Sony Computer Entertainment R&D center. The mobile division will work closely with the Vaio and playstation division. That is what Sony said, and Howard Stringer also mentioned that they will stop using the name "Sony Ericsson" very soon.

And its quite obvious that the logo will also go.

Whatever the name, logo or products Sony is going to bring we will be curious at least.
And I say this as fan.

After initial sadness I can say now that this is good thing, cause we were tired of disappointments - was slow, not adaptive to the market changes and consumers demands. Yes, I`ll miss Ericsson part, but we have to give Sony some credit.

PS: Of course if decide to made even one high-tech smartphone a year - I`m sold, sorry Sony.

There's a buzz in China of TI OMAP5 being given as priority to SE. This is coming AFTER the announced Sony buyout, with Q4 next year cited as the time to market.

Can anybody with any credence lay weight to this?
