Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc a.k.a. Xperia X12

Launched as the latest addition to Sony Ericsson’s popular Xperia range, the Xperia arc promises to be “the world’s most entertaining smartphone”. Previously code-named the Xperia X12, the arc is Sony Ericsson’s first Gingerbread-powered smartphone, offering a hoard of high-end tech and impressive specs. The handset offers a whopping 4.2 inch “Reality Display”, which uses Sony’s Bravia Mobile Engine to offer crisp and vibrant images at 854 x 480 pixels.

Despite its advanced touchscreen, the Xperia arc offers a curved chassis, measuring in at just 8.7mm thick at it’s skinniest point. It may not pack a dual-core processor, but Sony Ericsson’s latest Xperia handset has a hefty 1GHz Snapdragon processor under the hood, boosting its multimedia experience. This is helped even further by the handset’s 8.1 megapixel camera with Exmor R CMOS sensor and 720p HD video capture, its USB and HDMI connectivity and its beefed-up 1500mAh battery.

Once launched in Q1 2011, the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc will be available in both Misty Blue and Misty Silver.
