Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc – Android 2.3, 4.2" screen

Wow. This is an as-yet unannounced new Sony Ericsson Android phone, currently being referred to as the XPERIA Arc. You don’t need a spec sheet or measuring tape to tell this is one incredibly thin phone – apparently it’s only 8.7mm thick/thin around its bony, curved waistline.

According to Engadget, the site that leaked the image claims the XPERIA Arc comes with a 4.2″ screen running at 854×480 resolution and the Arc will arrive powered by the “Gingerbread” Android 2.3 release.

As with last year’s Xperia X10, there’s a decent camera inside as well – an 8megapixel sensor. It’s all powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm processor. It’s on the shortlist for this year’s upgrade.

UPDATE:
Two more very nice photos have emerged.  Here they are:

    Gary, you of all people should know that megapixels aren’t related to image quality, what with your protestations about the (un)importance of length. And girth. And tumescence.

      I’m dumbing down for the mainstream audience. I’ve typed the line “Of course, it’s all about the quality of the sensor” enough times in my life already.

    Christ almighty. Forget that gaming phone rubbish, this is for me. 2011 is the year of the Sony Ericsson comeback!
