Sony Ericsson Unveils Xperia-minis Phones

Sony Ericsson today unveiled in London the new Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro, the latest additions to its Xperia family.

Building on the original mini series, these smartphones are powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and run the latest platform of Google's Android - Gingerbread 2.3. Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro both integrate imaging and display technology from Sony, including Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine and HD video recording (720p).

Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro enable access to apps on the Android Market and has a 3" scratch-resistant, multi-touch glass screen. The improved user interface allows up to 16 apps displayed on the home screen.

Sony Ericsson also unveiled today a new integration, Facebook inside Xperia, which will be included in the new Xperia mini and mini pro and soon to be available across the wider Xperia range. The feature integrates social connections throughout the phone, by making Facebook immediately accessible from the most used areas of the phone such as the picture gallery, music player, phonebook and calendar.

Xperia mini pro brings the optimized slide-out keyboard with smart functionality first seen on the Xperia pro to a compact smartphone. A subtle but fast Type & Send functionality eliminates the need to open a dedicated app for each type of message, and Smart Keyboard triggers predictive messaging actions automatically when the user slides out the keyboard. Xperia mini pro also comes pre-loaded with Office Suite and McAfee antivirus software.
