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.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
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?
