Sony Ericsson Confirms ICS for 2011 Xperia Range

Back in September, it was rumoured that all 2011 Sony Ericsson Xperia devices would be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich. A Sony Ericsson representative told SoMobile that an announcement regarding the updates would be made in ‘October or November’ and this is now ringing true. A statement on the Sony Ericsson Product Blog today confirms that the following handsets will be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich:

Xperia™ arc and arc S,

Xperia™ PLAY,

Xperia™ neo and neo V,

Xperia™ mini and mini pro,

Xperia™ pro,

Xperia™ active,

Xperia™ ray

As of yet a timeframe for the updates has not been specified, but the Sony blog tells us that ‘more detailed information regarding this upgrade, timing and global availability will be communicated in due course here on the blog.’

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc HD (Nozomi) Pictures Leaked

It looks like Sony Ericsson’s new flagship device will be known as the Sony Ericsson Arc HD, aka the Nozomi. A couple of photos of Sony’s first dual-core device have emerged, as well as a Quadrant benchmark. The specs that are expected for the Arc HD include a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 4.3” 1280 x 720 display and 1GB RAM. As has been the case with Sony’s 2011 Arc Range, it looks like the Arc HD will come with a rather sleek form factor. The leaked handset that has been pictured over the web is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but given the rate at which Sony has kept its handsets updated this year, it wouldn’t be all that surprising if the Arc HD is running Ice Cream Sandwich by the time it’s released.

We have listed the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S on our site today.

You may have seen the announcement over the last 24 hours that Sony Ericsson have launched this new model.  The Arc S is essentially an upgraded Xperia Arc, like the Defy + is an upgraded Motorola Defy.

There are a few small, yet important improvements which may be worth holding off for if you were looking at the original Xperia Arc.

  • 1.4GHz processor as opposed to the original Arc’s 1GHz (delivering up to 25% faster performance)
  • 3D sweep panorama technology – Take your pictures with 3D Sweep Panorama. View them on a 3D TV or on the multi-angle 3D display.
  • Sony entertainment network services access – Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited – Download media direct to your smartphone
  • 25% faster camera start up time
  • 20% faster web page rendering
  • Improved call and standby time

Still on the device is the 8.1 megapixel camera, Google Android operating system, HDMI out, microUSB port, 4.2” reality display and 3.5mm audio jack to name just a few features.

Official pricing has yet to be confirmed, as has the colour variant that we will be stocking, but the good news is that the Arc S is due by the end of September, even as early as the 26th.

We will bring you more news as we have it, but you can register your interest HERE if you wish.

Here is a short promo video that Sony Ericsson have produced.
