Sony Ericsson arc Announced at CES; Sony Ericsson’s Thin Xperia arc Smartphone runs Android 2.3 & Features Mobile BRAVIA Engine

Sony Ericsson is known for its quality design and built. Last year’s Xperia X10 and X8 were formidable Android smartphones, and this year, Sony Ericsson is introducing the Xperia arc at CES 2011.

Xperia™ arc takes the stunning design language that Sony Ericsson has become known for to a new level. Super slim and light, Xperia™ arc is just 8.7mm at its thinnest part and has a super wide 4.2” multi-touch screen. Created from premium materials and with a stunning arc body, this smartphone is sleek, strong designed to fit perfectly in the user’s hand. The best of Sony technology is inside Xperia™ arc.

The Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine delivers exceptional visual brilliance and a crystal clear image which enhances the overall entertainment experience. Furthermore, Sony’s award-winning Exmor R™ mobile sensor with the f/2.4 lens enables the capture of high quality, bright pictures and HD videos even in low light.

All pictures and videos can be shared in HD on your living room TV via the built in HDMI-connector.

As with Sony Ericsson’s previous Andriod offerings, the Xperia arc is a premium phone with focus on design and functionality. The phone will ship with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and will, of course, support the hundreds of thousands of applications in Google’s Android Market.

Sony Ericsson will release the Xperia arc in the first quarter of 2011, with Midnight Blue and Misty Silver colors.
