Sony Ericsson steps up at the 2011 CES in Las Vegas with a new addition to the Xperia line-up with the introduction of the Xperia Arc, a super slim Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone, measuring only 8.7mm at its thinnest part.
It’s a new smartphone running Android 2.3 and sporting a 1 GHz Qualcomm CPU, 512 MB of memory and a 4.2-inch multi-touch display (Sony Ericsson calls it the Reality Display) with a 854 x 480-pixel resolution.
It has a 8.1-megapixel camera with HD video (720p) recording capability and a slim, curved body that’s just 8.7mm thick at its thinnest part and weighs 117 grams.
The list of the camera’s capabilities is very long for a mobile phone camera; highlights include auto focus, face detection, LED flash, image stabilizer, geo tagging, and noise suppression. The device also features Sony’s Exmor R technology, which enables you to take good looking photos and videos in low-light conditions.
As far as connectivity goes, you have a 3.5 mm audio jack at your disposal, as well as HDMI, USB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support. The device also supports aGPS and DLNA as well as memory cards with capacity up to 32 GB (it comes with an 8 GB microSD card).
Lastly, in terms of the availability, nothing solid announced just yet, however it is expected to be “available globally in selected markets, including Japan, from Q1.”
Here in KSA only brochures available and it’s such a shame on retailers part posting it hence not available,they should have not post it thus only made a big frustration on us consumers expecting it’s available and wasted our time, I’ve sold my x10 just to purchase this but it’s been almost 2months of agaony on my end…really sucks though…
