Sony Ericsson to Offer ‘X10′ Android Smartphone

11:19 am on November 3, 2009 | Category: Cell Phones, Mobile Devices, Software

Sony Ericsson unveiled its first Google Android-based smartphone today, following rivals such as Samsung, LG, and Motorola onto the Android bandwagon.

The Sony Ericsson X10 will feature a 4-inch touchscreen display and 8.1-megapixel digital camera. It will also come equipped with a speedy Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

“The X10 is a high-value smartphone that will help Sony Ericsson back on the road toward profitability,” said Strategy Analytics analyst Neil Mawston, referring to the company’s loss of market share in recent quarters, and its failure to make a significant impact in the growing smartphone market thus far.

Meanwhile, “Android’s momentum continues apace with four of the top five vendors in the world having now announced an Android product and roadmap,” according to UK-based CCS Insight analyst, Shaun Collins.

Sony Ericsson’s X10 device is expected to be commercially available in select markets in the early part of 2010.
