Sony's highly-anticipated XPERIA X1 is yet to make it to retail, but images of what appears to be its successor have leaked onto the web.
The poor-quality shots (sorry) pictured below, are said to be of a forthcoming Sony Ericsson handset, the XPERIA X5.
The images could, of course, be an elaborate Photoshop, but the leak has been accompanied with an early set of specifications.
The iPhone-like device is said to feature a 3.2in touchscreen display, slightly bigger than the XPERIA X1's 3in offering. The touchscreen takes up nearly the entire front face, with what appears to be just two front-facing buttons.
It's rumoured to feature 8GB of internal memory, with an additional expansion slot, and will offer Wi-Fi and GPS.
Though these images show no sign of the XPERIA X1's slide-out QWERTY keyboard, they do hint at a rumoured eight megapixel camera with autofocus and xenon flash.
We wouldn't anticipate confirmation of such a device from Sony Ericsson anytime soon, at least until the XPERIA X1 makes its debut. That debut, it seems, could be October 30th.
