Sony Ericsson announces new generation of Xperia Mini and Mini Pro smartphones

Sony Ericsson has just outed a brand new pair of compact Xperia smartphones. The new Xperia Mini will run Android Gingerbread (2.3) on a 3-inch multitouch, scratch-resistant display, which comes with Sony’s proprietary Bravia Engine with Reality Display, There’s a 1GHz processor inside, access to Android Market, and home screen customization with custom shortcuts available in the four corners of the screen. A 30 percent improvement in battery life is also touted, courtesy of a larger cell. As you can see above, SE is also pretty jolly about having the world’s smallest smartphone capable of recording video in HD. You’ll be able to grab yours in one of four different colors this August. The new Xperia Mini Pro also features a 1GHz processor and the same battery life improvements, but it adds that sliding QWERTY keyboard that made the original Mini Pro such a favorite. The new model is coming at some point in the third quarter of this year. The launch presentation is still ongoing, but we’ll have more details and hands-on pics as soon as we can.
