Sony Ericsson Announces Xperia Mini And Xperia Mini Pro

Sony Ericsson unveils the new Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro, the latest additions to its Xperia family.

Building on the success of the original mini series, these innovative smartphones come packed full of features, powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and run Android Gingerbread 2.3 OS with Sony Ericsson’s custom four-corner Android UI & Timescape.

Beautifully designed, Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro both integrate best-in-class imaging and display technology from Sony, including Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine.

The two Minis features the same 5 megapixel snapper with LED flash at the back. Plus, their cameras are capable of shooting 720p HD video.

Xperia mini pro brings the optimized slide-out keyboard with smart functionality first seen on the Xperia pro to a compact smartphone. A subtle but fast Type & Send functionality eliminates the need to open a dedicated app for each type of message, and Smart Keyboard triggers predictive messaging actions automatically when the user slides out the keyboard. Xperia mini pro also comes pre-loaded with Office Suite and McAfee antivirus software, letting consumers manage documents and e-mails instantly and securely while on the move.
