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.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
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.
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.
