According to a post on Sony Ericsson’s Product Blog today, the underlying framework that houses the company’s many custom modifications to Android will be updated at the end of the year, adding new features including HD video recording – and also updating the X10 range’s Android 1.6 OS in the process.
The short version of that is… The X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro will find themselves running Android 2.1 in Q4 of 2010. That’s quite a long wait, but it’s to be expected when you consider the massive amount of customisations poor old Sony Ericsson’s developers have to port across to the new OS.
The blog post also says that a smaller, non-core, bug-fixing update for the full-sized Xperia X10 will arrive sooner than that to fix a few issues with the phone, but it won’t update the handset’s basic OS or be anything too exciting.
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?

/ May 5, 2010lol thats so funny, so if this comes out on time, which it probaly wont as there is always delays, everyone else will be running android 2.2, so x10 owners will always be behind.
