Sony Ericsson Android with retailer Expansys

Sony Ericsson Xperia (X5?) Android phone aka “Rachael” has got a big touchscreen display, and is built on Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon platform. Snapdragon has some pretty amazing amazing specs – up to 1 GHz CPU, HD video decoding ,12mpx camera, GPS, broadcast TV and Wi-Fi support. Though it remains to be seen which of them make it into a new SE Android handset.

Sony Ericsson Android game confirmed by retailer Expansys now that they have a preorder page up. Code-named Rachael, and branded as the X3, Expansys offers a healthy spec sheet:

* 4″, 800 x 400 touchscreen
* 2G: 850/900/1800/1900 (Quad-Band)
* 3G: 900/2100 (Dual-Band); HSDPA (10Mbps), HSUPA (2Mbps)
* 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and 8 x digital zoom
o LED Flash
o Image Stabilization
o Smile Shutter
o Face Detection
o VGA Video Recording
* POP3, SMTP, IMAP4, MS Exchange e-mail
* miniUSB, 3.5mm AV connector
* Bluetooth (2.1), Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11g), AGPS

The Hero’s nice and all, but considering we heard the X3 is going to be packing a 1Ghz processor, it’ll be the monster Android handset for awhile, and combined with all of we’ve been seeing of the X2 lately, Sony Ericsson’s next couple of quarters look noticably brighter than their last one. We had seen what was supposedly the user interface Sony Ericsson was going to use for Rachael, but the video didn’t show the music player widget pictured above – who knows if it was fake or not, but we’ll be finding out soon enough.
