Non-removable battery, no xenon flash, microSim, seem pretty height... Again and again disappointed about SE... We'll be in 2012, come on SE...
Here's the question I have: What the hell is the fuss about xenon flashes? Everything in the foreground gets washed out or completely flattened while everything in the background becomes too dark due to absolute underexposure, it kills battery life like crazy, and they're generally placed too close to the lens thus making red-eye removal software necessary (as if SE's default software processing algorithms weren't extreme enough).
If people weren't so caught up about megapixels and focused on other sensor attributes (such as noise and dynamic range), then it becomes much more probable that we could get a low-resolution, high-sensitivity sensor effective enough to negate the need for a flash at all (and that manufacturers could actually market such a sensor as a superior alternative to a stupid 8/12/16MP sensor that no one needs). |

Maybe your friend was lying to you???Because every leaked cpu test(+SOURCES) suggests that LT26i will be coming with dual-core scorpion at 1.5ghz.++Even if they were using st-ericsson based cpus,anything below u9540 would be less capable than exynos 4210 found on galaxy s2 |

I'm assuming there's a trade-off with putting a non-removable battery in a phone? Does this mean they can have a much more powerful battery installed now, as opposed to having a removable one?

Here's a factually correct response:

Fixed battery means that they can place the elements of the battery in whatever shape or size they want, not have to put it in a special case of it's own and save on precious cubic mm of volume in the casing.

Some guy in an other forum came up with a good point: I'm confused now. Why they put a non-removable battery and a micro sim slot in this phone but don't give it a non-removable backcover? The only reason to remove it is to put a tiny SIM in it. I think with a little more engineering time they were able to put the SIM slot on the outside, so the phone has no gaps.

I've had a feeling for a couple weeks now that this leaked device isn't in fact the Arc successor but Neo's successor and a better device is being kept under close guard.
This could be the metal version of this device, with a different chipset, which a couple of sources have suggested.
or
(I'm hoping for) A completely different device.
I may be misinterpreting, but, badassmam and rog seem to have alluded that there may be more and to not be disappointed by this, so I'm still hoping for better.

It seems like they also wanted to conceal the screws and the regulatory information label, hence the back cover.

Still make no sense. They have managed to hide it nicely on K850 and Pureness, but why on this?

Has anybody spotted the 3.5mm glory hole on this thing? I mean, I use a bluetooth IS800 headset anyway but a 3.5mm would be nice.
If you notice the back cover has almost no markings on it at all beside the SE ball. Every other design that's like this by SE has Sony Ericsson written down the spine. Which means either Sony cut it out in an effort to reduce the 'Ericsson' part's mind share or maybe the back panel will be sealed and the sim slot moved in the final release and this is just a proto.

Actually, no 2011 Xperia phone has Sony Ericsson on the back, only XPERIA. The 2010 Xperias had it though. The only difference with Nozomi is XPERIA is written on the back cover in portrait, instead of landscape.

Love your little tidbits of info. But is the non removable battery and microsim confirmed?

It comes down to how the phones were constructed.
The K850 is held together with plastic tabs: http://www.formymobile.co.uk/Dismantle/k850idisassembly.htm
I don't know about the Xperia Pureness, but it's likely that it's constructed in a similar fashion.
If the LT26's construction is similar to the Ray's, then that would explain why there's a backplate for covering the screws (since it's an aluminum frame with stuff screwed to it).

Hopefully it's, like, an LTE version of an Xperia Play 2. |
