Unofficial shot of Sony Ericsson Xperia 2 leaked?

June 6th, 2009

Xperia 1 has not been the best of devices and Windows Mobile certainly hasn’t helped Sony Ericsson do anything spectacular. Our friend @Farrhad using a Xperia X1 appears extremely frustrated with the slow and sticky OS. A leaked picture of the upcoming Xperia 2 has leaked online.

We already know that HTC is no longer building the Xperia series for SE, however the Xperia X2 design looks pretty similar to Xperia 1. The LCD is visibly bigger though (I guess this would be a capacitive one). Hope WM 6.5 comes in with some life for Sony Ericsson (yes this will run on Windows Mobile, the buttons on the leaked image confirms that), though I anxiously await the Android 2.0 powered SE smartphone.
