Specifications of Sony Ericsson’s new cutting-edge smartphone, the Arc HD, have apparently leaked out alongside numerous photos showing the device from a variety of angles.

Codenamed Sony Ericsson Xperia Nozomi, the Arc HD is said to sport the Snapdragon chipset powered by Qualcomm’s 1.5GHz dual-core processor and the Adreno 220 GPU. According to the anonymous tipster, it will run on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread and feature a 4.3 inch LCD display of HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) and a 12 megapixel camera capable of 1080p video recording.

Other specifications include a HDMI out slot, 1GB RAM, a microSIM slot and 16 or 32 GB of built-in storage. Apparently, the Arc HD won’t support a microSD card for increasing storage capacity.

The snaps and specifications were apparently sent in anonymously to mobile news site GSM Arena, so we have no idea whether they’re real or not.





With so many rumours and different pictures flying around it's hard to know what's real and what isn't. It looks like we'll have to wait until CES next month to get the official lowdown.

Camera and HDMI output are good, as is the RAM allocation and perhaps the cpu.

Not so good are the iPhone-like (quick Apple - sue 'em!) fixed memory and uSIM. And Gingerbread - wtf - the current line are getting ICS when it's stable, so why the heck launch a new phone with an older OS? :wallbash: Even my “old” X10 has an official 2.3.3 ROM running.

And as for the design - :puke: - are these really the same folks that managed to design the X10 and Arc S? Both of which (the Arc S and X10) make this latest effort (if it's real) look like a right minger!

If this is the best that Sony can do, then it's definite that Samsung will be getting my business next year. :mad:

Ugh! I've got an Xperia Arc S and this HD upgrade looks like a downgrade to me. It's a horrible looking phone compared to the Arc. Looks like Sony have dropped the ball design wise here.

Got to agree here. Weird design and 2.3.5??? SE are working hard on getting on top of ICS 4.0 releases for old phones so why ship one with 2.3.5? Kinda of hoping this is fake. If it looked more like an arc s with ICS i'd be tempted as 1Gb of RAM would be nice (My X10 is seriously RAM limited now).
