Also S-LCD (Samsung-Sony LCD manufacturing JV) and SLCD (Super LCD screens) are not one and the same. The Sony SLCD screens used in phones has nothing to do with Samsung or their JV with Samsung but Sony Mobile Displays which is now Japan Display (merger of INCJ, Sony, Toshiba and Sharp mobile display divisions) So yes we will still see Japan Display screens in their phones.


Actually they are Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi, but you are right - Japan Display will focus on high-end technologies, such as Toshiba's LTPS, Sony's AMOLED and Hitachi's IPS.
With announcements made by Hitachi and Toshiba last couple of months we can expect some cutting edge displays on Sony smartphones in the near future.

SONY's OLED not AMOLED

I'm really exciting to see PS Vita's OLED screen compare side to side with Samsung Galaxy S2's Super AMOLED Plus by this Christmas

It's good for them to dump out the SLCD because now Sony teamed up with Hitachi / Toshiba as The Japan Displays.
Probably some Taiwanese optic might interested to invest money after SONY left the place.

Anyway, I'm still wonder because I heard that Sony had cancelled plan investment in LED technology earlier this year and buy from Samsung instead due to it cheaper than company set up one. I had been read from Newspaper brief tech report column.

Sony was the first one they have with OLED also with LED and i i not misteken LCD together with Sharp, but Samsung are nothing more copycats no invest cost.

Sony still invest in LED and OLED as you can see, but Sony don't have big factory to produce them for the mass market, thats why Sony and Samsung work togehter, Samsung have the most profit to use without payment for licents and Sony just have use their factory, very bad for Sony also very bad deal.

So can we see Carl Zeiss or Sony G lenses integrated on Sony smartphones now? knowing Sony they won't care about the price going sky high for as long as they pack everything feasible into it

For all we know, it might turn out to be a boon for all us fans. Sony will surely put in the latest hardware tech nd let the market do the rest.

However I am more concerned about the timeline in which they plan to start launching devices. Are there confirmed reports stating that we'll be seeing Sony devices at CES and MWC? Most of the newspaper reports are talking about how Sony will have a lag of 12-18 months.

why lag? So, there will be no new phones from SE or Sony? I have planned and saved money to buy Nozomi or other dual-core phones from SE

Of course there will be. All that is pure speculation. You will see at least the nozomi by January. (Announcement I mean. not available for sale of course)

how about re-badge? I'm sure Sony Ericsson has prepared about Nozomi..and I'm sure they already have the prototype. So, why don't change the brand to Sony? is it bad idea?

When SE was just a newborn company, they rebranded several models and updated their SW, the T68i being the most remembered. so i think we'll only see a refresh on the current SE models or maybe they'll still release the remaining SE prototypes that are lined for next announcements and make some updates

They will. 2012 any model released will be re branded as SONY. But of course if SONY release their own phones then that would not be necessary and the current SE prototypes shall be cancelled. Let's see what happens.

But the reason I feel they will not re badge the current SE prototypes is then it might make a negative impact and it will be pointless to complete the deal so soon and have the same phones just being re branded and launched as Sony.

The nozomi by all rumors yet is going to be yet another Arc. At least 6 months behind the competition and not a true high end model. Don't really know if SONY will want to take the risk of bad rep with their very first model. And also its 2011(2012) now not 2001 where any bad move might potentially ruin it all for them especially the first 2 years.

But the problem is that Sony might not have made any new phone model yet, and i think 2-4 months is not enough time for them to build even a single high end model, unless they already predicted this instance and made some ready-to-build designs even before the buyout, they have no choice but to release Nozomi. but i think they just need to update some key System HW components (if nozomi's rumored specs are true) and integrate their 16mp camera used on S006/S007 and it will easily look future proof.

and to be honest, I'm wondering about the previous leaked picture...look like a mobile phone with Sony branded and XPERIA logo on the edge..what is it??

Posted by Ricky D
Sony won't make the schoolboy error of releasing phones they haven't designed under the Sony brand. It just doesn't make sense to. It all depends on whether Sony have handsets already in their R&D and when they will be ready to launch.

Until their own handsets are ready to be launched we will see SE leftovers filing the gaps (if they believe they will get any sort of volume out of them).

I would guess about half of the current SE protos will be dumped and only the best ones kept on to pass the time until Sony have their own shizz together.

When Sony have their handsets ready that's when we'll see Sony handsets. Simple as. Although it's anybody's guess how progress is with Sony's own handsets. They might not have even got to the drawing board yet.

Your guess is as good as mine or anybody else's at this point really as we have no idea what is coming in the future. But here my few cents on this

1) made it clear that they will not be using the Sony Ericsson name.

2) If the planned to launch SE under development handsets next year then why would they have hurried the deal and targeted for a completion of the deal by January 2012 ?

3) Lately they have got experience of making Android / 3G devices like the PS Vita, Tablet S/P and the Walkman Z.

4) Launching SE handsets next year might not be the best idea as they will want to start off with a product that makes a bold statement and sends out a clear message that is in the smartphone business now and their competitors better watch out and also reiterate their technology and design superiority like they did with the Tablet S

5) Another reason they cannot take any risks with sub par products is that the smartphone business in the only ray of light at the end of the tunnel for them. They just announced their Q2 results and now forecast a loss for the year 2011-12 ending March 2012.


So I would say its pretty likely they might have a phone prototype already with all their technological know how crammed into it.
And we all know how secretive Sony is about their future products.

What Device is this ? Xperia shukatsu ?

http://www.sonyericsson.co.jp/product/campaign/xperia-shukatsu/

And apparently Nozomi and other will be rebranded as SONY and sold next year. In house developed SONY phones will come out only by Q3 2012.

Source: unknown13x from XDA. He works at so the info is definitely credible. He posted this :

"We won't be seeing "Sony Ericsson" starting early next year. There will be some changes to the brand, but won't completely phase out the "E" part til late Q3 to full Sony brand. No worries, Sony did not cut out any important products that was previously planned, so we'll still enjoy its full scale mobile products "

That looks to me like the Japan only Xperia Arco. Maybe it's the 'Arco S'.

Posted by goldenface


It looks like whole new device to me, smaller than Arc but bigger than Ray.

Posted by randomuser

Yes it looks like a completely new device
[ This Message was edited by: randomuser on 2011-11-02 08:44 ]


Posted by semo
After comparing to my Arc, this one looks almost the same.
Same body/frame for sure, but the screen seems slightly smaller.
There is more space around the screen, especially the gap above the three buttons.
Could be an even cheeper version of Arc?

Edit: In the next page the screen is back to normal:
http://www.sonyericsson.co.jp[....]aign/xperia-shukatsu/king.html
So I guess that at the front page the phone has a photoshopped screen just for showing the orange logo and text.
There is also this 'Android 1.6' text there which is slightly puzzling.

So next year we will see last SE phones. That may be a reason to get one I'm afraid that Sony will bring it's bullshit fragmentation. Like cybershot with awesome camera, but shit OS(or hardware), great smartphone hardware wise but shit camera, etc. etc. But let's wait and see...

Posted by razec
Nozomi should now have that 16mp sensor, Apple is surely to use higher MP camera phone next year, so if sony is serious about being first and maybe "superior". they need every bragging rights they have to compete

Posted by Karun
But they'll be branded as 'Sony' or 'Sony Ericsson'? I'll wait till MWC. If the specs are on par with competition, i'll probably end up buying it. The last true phone.

SONY will Surprise us with some Dual Core in Q1

Am pretty sure They where Working with some phone before the deal actually took place.[Thats why they started making Tablets they had something on their Mind]
They also have a Year Experience with Mobile stuff + Android in their Tablets and Walkman Z and Now the Staff is with them.

Fingers Crossed Q1 for SONY Killer device

Few points from the Sony Earnings press conference

For atleast a few months into 2012, will remain in the picture. And remain semi independent like it is now. Only that it will work more closely with Sony and the development and product release will be faster. will be fully integrated into SONY only after about an year.

Well if you call dual-core surprise a whole year later then the rest.
I don`t care when exactly Sony will lunch their first device and with what name, cause I know it`s the same company and will be the same at least 'till the end of 2012.

Why are you so negative about Sony? Look at the PS3 the best hardware and software.

You`re so wrong, even U8500 from late 2009 was dual-core Cortex A9 processor.. and it was first to incorporate Mali 400 GPU.

Here it is the whole 2011 ST-Ericsson line up, presented at MWC this February:

The Nova A9600, built in 28nm, will deliver groundbreaking multimedia and graphics performance, featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex- A15-based processor running up to up to 2.5 GHz breaking the 20k DMIPS barrier, and a POWERVR Rogue GPU that delivers in excess of 210 GFLOPS. The graphics performance of the A9600 will exceed 350 million ‘real’ polygons per second and more than 5 gigapixels per second visible fill rate (which given POWERVR’s deferred rendering architecture results in more than 13 gigapixels per second effective fill rate). Thanks to Rogue Nova will support all existing APIs such as Microsoft DirectX. The Nova A9600 is sampling in 2011.

The Nova A9540, built in 32nm, uses a dual-core Cortex-A9 running at up to 1.8 GHz and delivers graphics performance up to four times that of the U8500 and is sampling H2 2011.

The Nova A9500, built in 45 nm, uses a dual-core Cortex-A9 running at clock speeds of up to 1.2GHz, with Mali™ 400 improving graphics performance up to 20 percent, supporting full HD camcorder capabilities and up to 20 megapixel cameras. It is sampling and in design with ST-Ericsson customers today.

The Thor M7400 can connect to 2G, 3G, TD-SCDMA, HSPA, HSPA+ dual carrier and LTE FDD/TDD networks. It offers peak download speeds of up to 100Mbps in LTE networks. The Thor M7400 supports voice calls via fallback to circuit-switched networks and via the VoLTE (Voice over LTE) standard, it is sampling Q2 2011.

The Thor M7300 is a multimode HSPA+ modem supporting speeds of up to 84Mbps and is sampling Q2 2011.

The NovaThor U9500 is a complete platform combining Thor M5730 with A9500 and is sampling now.

The NovaThor T5008 platform combines a TD-HSPA+ modem with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 and Mali 400 graphics. It supports full HD camcorder capabilities and up to 20 megapixel cameras and is sampling Q2 2011.

The NovaThor U4500 platform combines a powerful Cortex-A9 application processor with a HSPA+ modem. It supports DVD-quality camcorder capabilities and 8 megapixel cameras and samples in 1H 2011.

Apparently they had problems with their 8500 design. SE was forced to choose qualcomm 2011 because of this. The 2012 lineup is said to have ST-ericssons SOCs, guess we will see

Posted by randomuser
ST-Ericsson is making losses and apart from Nokia no other manufacturer has used their processors. I think that does say a lot about the whole situation.

So yes will live on for the first half of 2012 and even for little longer. Only by 2013 shall be fully integrated/absorbed by Sony Electronics.

So still has some life left.

I just saw benchmarks about HTC Sensation Z710t which use ST-Ericsson dual-core A9500
Here it is the scores compared to 4G version of Sensation with Qualcomm chip.

Neocore:
4G - 41 MFLOPS
Z710t - 38 MFLOPS

AnTutu:
4G - 3247
Z710t - 4729

Neocore had been developed by Qualcomm, so it no surprise here as it should have better driver optimized for 4G but Z710t use Mali 400 did a respected performance for not fully graphic driver optimized yet.

Nowadays, I'm preferred to AnTuTu to compare hardware performance one to other and Z710t did outclassed performance to 4G.

Could you provide a reference link please?

Here it is - chinese page, with a lot of screen shots of Z710t
http://detail.zol.com.cn/pict[....]0/index7393328_0_p283076.shtml

and I was mistaken it`s not Neocore but Linpack result 38,6 MFLOPS. Neocore result for Z710t is 49,6 FPS.

We have to point that NovaThor used in Z710t was underclocked at 1GHz not 1,2 like pure Nova A9500.
I think NovaThor in Z710t does some respectable job beating Qualcomm 1,2GHz at some test, and Tegra2 in Optimus 2x at others.

This thread has suddenly died with the Sony takeover, sad but life has to move on.

Funny how the last SE phone I bought was/is the last one that had soul and not just a shell with SE on it like all the new SE phones have become. The P1i is their last true great smartphone and I am still in love with it to this day, the fact that it is still my primary phone says a lot about it. The other phones with the SE soul were the T610i, T68i, K700i, K750i, K800i, K850i, W800, W810i, C905i, P-series line-up.

I hope Sony brings their A-game or they might as well have left SE die a natural death as they were dying in any way.

I am really looking forward to what Sony does with their phones cause I will need a powerhouse of a phone in 2013 and they will most likely be my first choice for sentimental reasons and because there isn't much out there that appeals to me, that, however, doesn't mean I will accept mediocrity from them.

I am also hoping that they do prove me wrong and succeed cause I am tired of going through all these changes, first, I had a girlfriend named Ericsson, then Sony Ericsson and now it looks like I am about to start dating another one named Sony or something completely different depending on what Sony decides to call their mobile division. I am getting fed up with falling in love within one family and it ends up not working out

So, Sony, make this the fairytale relationship, like fairytales exist LOL, and take me on an exciting journey of technological innovation and excitement.

Don't make me regret it now!

P1i FTW!!!! I havent replaced it YET...

Posted by razec
it's funny that P1i was certainly abused by detractors during its birth since at that time many are drooled with the N95 which i think was a flop if not for its unmatched specs in paper. P1 was a nice phone and sadly i never owned one even with just a second hand that phone had nice design and functionality, SE really innovated with the styling on that phone as it doesn't look neither Sony nor Ericsson.

Posted by masseur
N95 was far from being a flop, and its specs were certainly superior to P1

N95 had GPS/accelerometer/A2DP/stereo speakers/S60 v3 (i.e. NOT UIQ!) /5megapix carl zeiss camera/16M colour screen...

I could go on but there's more than enough there that N95 had over the P1

Don't forget about the S700i (respectively W550i/W900i) . And with deductions the W902 and W995 .

Oh my word!

How do I forget the mighty W900i? Gosh, that was one hell of a phone and its follow up, the S700i was very good as well.

Yes, the W995, as you point out, with deductions could be included in there.

I am not sure I'd include the W902i.

"We got an interesting tip from one of our readers, about the upcoming Sony Ericsson flagship. The handset, which he refers to as Sony Ericsson Arc HD (though the final name will probably be different) is said to come with a 720p screen (that’s 1280 x 720 pixels) and support FullHD video recording. "

Its the name arc HD thats new

Lets hope they don't use the same design again

Posted by motvikt
This is new.

"A pretty cool feature of the Sony Ericsson (or just Sony, if the deal goes through before the announcement) Xperia Arc HD will be the option to capture full-res still shots while recording video. That would allow you to capture the most interesting moments of your videos in full resolution without interrupting the videos themselves. "

Posted by NightBlade
I wonder whether there will be any phones branded Sony Ericsson that will come out next year...
