Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 launching on November 3, Media UI gets Previewed on Video

Posted in News. Written by admin on November 2nd, 2009

Last month, Ericsson announced via Twitter that their Android-based Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 will be launched this month.

We were a bit skeptical about its authenticity back then considering that Ericsson is just half of the Sony Ericsson tandem, but thanks to this new teaser video, we’re now convinced as it looks certain for a November 3 launch.

Sadly though, aside from featuring some delectable new shots of the XPERIA X3, this video doesn’t provide us very little new info on its specs. Be that as it may, we already have a very good inkling of what to expect with Sony Ericsson’s first foray into the Android scene based on previous reports. A 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 4-inch WVGA touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera, WiFi, and GPS are just some of its more notable features along with 10Mbps HSDPA connectivity.

In related news, this new video showcasing the XPERIA X3’s media UI also just recently surfaced on the internet. Sure, this is just a concept but it does give us an idea of how meticulous Sony Ericsson is in improving the whole Android experience for their followers. Tie this in with the XPERIA X3 UI video we featured back in July, what you have is a completely revamped user-interface unlike any Android overlay in the market today.

Good job, Sony Ericsson! Now let’s get this baby out the door as soon as possible before its novelty wears off.
