Sony Ericsson rolling out Xperia arc and Xperia neo Android 4.0 updates as we speak

Sony Ericsson rolling out Xperia arc and Xperia neo Android 4.0 updates as we speak

Posted on Jun 01, 2012 by MG3

Just because it has no “Ericsson” in its name, that doesn’t mean Sony has forgot about its existing Sony Ericsson customers. Quite the contrary, the company is rolling out firmware updates for select devices wearing both names as we speak.
The select devices are Xperia arc and Xperia neo, which users have reportedly started receiving their servings of Ice Cream Sandwich. The phones will be updated to Android 4.0.4 and will remain on kernel 2.6.32.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc successor teased for CES

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc successor teased for CES

Posted on Jan 05, 2012 by MG1

Sony Ericsson has just posted pictures of what appears to be a successor to the Xperia Arc. An update on Facebook shows a camera key very similar to the Arc's, a squared-off Micro-HDMI port, an HD camera, and an Android icon. No details were given, but a caption reads "just a few more days until we can reveal some interesting news," hinting that we'll be seeing the phone at CES.
Currently, two phones might meet the bill for this teaser. The first, the 4.3-inch Nozomi or LT26i, was leaked in November, with more information coming to light last month. A close look at one of the leaked Nozomi photos shows it with a covered HDMI port, however, and the camera key doesn't look like the one above. ...

Sony Ericsson announces Xperia Arc S with 1.4GHz CPU

Sony Ericsson announces Xperia Arc S with 1.4GHz CPU

Posted on Sep 01, 2011 by MG1

Even today, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is one of the sexiest phones to ever exist in my book, hindered only by its late 2010 specs. Well, Sony Ericsson just announced the Xperia Arc S, and slightly beefed-up Arc with a 1.4GHz processor. Whether or not it’s enough to make us want to pick one up is another story but it’s still the sexy beast we’ve come to love.
So what exactly does this spec bump bring to the tablet? Well, Sony Ericsson claims the 1.4GHz CPU will allow camera start-up and media conversion times to be up to 25% faster, and 20% faster web page rendering compared to the original. You’ll also see some new features like Sony 3D panorama shot, as well as Music and Video Unlimited.

Sony Ericsson Xperia arc now available unlocked in the U.S.

Sony Ericsson Xperia arc now available unlocked in the U.S.

Posted on Jul 08, 2011 by MG1

U.S. residents have had to sit idly by as one of the best Sony Ericsson smartphones in recent memory, the Xperia arc, made its tour around other parts of the world. It looks like the wait has come to an end, as an unlocked version of the Xperia arc is now listed in Sony Ericsson's U.S. store.
This particular variant features 3G compatibility on the 800/850/1900/2100MHz bands, meaning you can get the most out of it on AT&T's network. Using it on T-Mobile will slow you down to 2G, EDGE speeds though, since it does not support the 1700MHz AWS band.

Sony's quartet of high-end Android smartphones including the Xperia arc, play, neo and pro might just have gotten updated to Android 2.3.3, but the engineers over at SE are already testing and working on delivering the latest version of Android Gingerbread, 2.3.4, according to an unspecified source quoted by SE-centric Semcblog.
