And so it begins. The quest to shift the poor old Xperia X10 in the face of the HTC Desire ONSLAUGHT is now underway, with famed online retailer Play.com knocking thirty quid off the price of a SIM-free and unlocked X10 – down from the £489 the enormous and fancy smartphone was a few of weeks ago.
Here’s the visual proof:
Obviously it’s nice that it’s a little cheaper, and you DO get a seriously large amount of phone for your money with the SE X10, but £459 is still rather expensive for an Android phone that’s currently limited to Android 1.6 and doesn’t say “HTC” on the case.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ April 19, 2010I think the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is a really great phone, even with Android 1.6, but I am really looking forward to Android 2.1 and Multitouch, as the X10 will be awesome then.
