Is This The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X12?

The XPERIA X10 blog has leaked the Anzu, aka XPERIA X12 (2), which could very well be the successor to the popular Sony Ericsson X10 smartphone. Undoubtedly a flagship model for 2011, this rumored cell phone has several interesting features, such as a 4.3 inch screen and will run Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Other features include 1080P video recording, front-facing camera, HDMI output, and a very crisp vivid LCD (16m colors?). I would imagine the phone would have at least a 1GHz processor.

Aesthetically the phone reminds me of the X10 in several ways because of the button layout and the overall shape of the phone, but you can obviously see this is much larger. The rear of the phone is rather interesting, it is certainly quite qide and the rear camera is very large and placed at the very top next to a LED flash. The shape is fascinating, almost an arc in some ways.

The XPERIA X10 blog states that the “loudspeaker and in-ear performance of the ANZU is much clearer/louder than the X10.” Launch window looks to be sometime in early 2011.
