Next SE XPERIA to Run on Android

Danish site devoted to mobile phones has uncovered some internal Sony Ericsson document that revealed potentially 2nd generation XPERIA phone running on Android code named Rachel. It looks like SE statement about waiting to adopt Google’s OS made the company look kinda silly as the waiting game would only put the phone maker behind while other competitors are already pushing it in full swing.

Anyways, here are some interesting tid bits about this upcoming phone:

Translated English version:
Sony Ericsson ”Rachael” is the codename of the Swedes’ first Android-based mobile phone, that is expected to be announced later this year. It will be part of Sony Ericsson’s series of XPERIA products. We’ve got our hands on internal documents about the phone, that seems to have the potential to be a sales success.

The phone is based on the Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon platform, that enables processor speeds up to 1 GHz, and HSPA-speeds up to 7.2 Mbps. This platform will also sport great 3D graphics capabilities.

The phone’s built-in camera is an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus. There’s also a 3.5 mm jack connector as well as a mini-USB connector at the top of the phone. The touch screen seems to be quite large, but as of yet there is no specific information about its size.

Looks pretty promising, would not you say so? I somewhat like its new body and hope it is not the one that was previously rumored.  It is just missing an OLED display to be a killer phone….
