While I’ve been looking around for what is to be my next phone, the logical phone after my Xperia x10 mini would be the Xperia mini. However, the biggest disadvan tage of the Xperia mini is that they did not put dual-facing cameras (front-facing and back-facing) on the phone. I’d have to get the Xperia mini pro with the built-in keyboard for the dual cameras.
However, anyway, Sony has now announced the Xperia U which not only has the dual-facing cameras but also has a dual-core processor.
| Phone | Size (mm) | Weight (g) | Processor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xperia x10 mini | 83×50x16 | 88 | 600 Mhz |
| Xperia mini | 88×52x16 | 99 | 1Ghz |
| Xperia U | 112×54x12 | 110 | 1Ghz dual-core |
| Xperia Sola | 116×59x9.9 | 107 | 1Ghz dual-core |
Video is available here.
The disadvantage is that it is nearly one inch longer than I’d prefer it to be, but at least it is thinner AND has front-facing and back-facing cameras.
Update 1: Argh. Got two compliments on my phone (x10 mini) last week while in Raleigh. This is the worst thing that could happen because it would somehow encourage me to keep my current phone until I could find a better replacement.
Update 2: Instead of Xperia U, Xperia Sola looks pretty neat because it can detect your finger without you having to touch the screen. They call it “floating touch”. Also, I’m not a big fan of the new Xperia S style of design (colored bottom), so at least Xperia Sola has a different looking design.
