Sony Ericsson WP7 phones, Xperia X7, Xperia X7 mini seen on Youtube

There are discrepancies in the specifications that one may observe in the leaked videos of Sony Ericsson Xperia X7 and Xperia X7 mini as seen on Youtube. Yet these screenshots seen on you tube have tentatively confirmed the existence of upcoming smartphones from Sony Ericsson to be based on Windows 7 operating system. Hence, we may say that new smartphones from Sony Ericsson are based on Windows Phone 7 OS and these handsets are the Xperia X7 and the X7 Mini. These WP 7 enabled phones of Sony Ericsson, referred to as Xperia X7 and Xperia X7 Mini, are expected to launch in first quarter of 2011.

Sony Ericsson turned from Symbian OS to Windows 7, considering that Symbian OS lacked “ecosystem”. Getting again to the specifications of these phones reveal that there is a 8.1 MP camera with HD (720p) video recording in the Xperia X7 and in the inferior version, the Xperia X7 Mini, there is a 10.1-megapixel camera. It gives us enough reason to think and re-consider the fact that news about these phone is true or not.

The two smartphone gadgets fit the Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 hardware specifications. In Sony Ericsson Xperia X7, there is a 4.3-inch wide capacitive WVGA display and it runs on a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 processor. As mentioned above it also boasts of an 8MP camera with ability to shoot 720p HD video. There is HMDI-Out and for a great sound effect, Dolby Digital Plus surround sound feature is also present in it.

In its slimmer and smaller version, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X7 Mini, there is a smaller 3.5-inches wide WVGA display. Similarly, its processor is slightly less powerful and rated at 1GHz. It is Qualcomm QSD8250, the one that is present inside the Nexus One, the Google smartphone. Its 10.1MP camera that shoots 720p HD video, comes with 3x optical zoom and a Xenon flash features that makes it stand out in the crowd. Such a technologically advanced camera is lacking even in Nokia N8 which was hyped to have the best camera. Windows Phone 7 lovers getting this OS in Sony Ericsson handsets must now be eagerly waiting for these handsets to launch and we too hope it happens to be really happening soon.

Sony Ericsson to bring Windows 7 phones by 2011

In a fascinating revelation, Sony Ericsson CEO, Bert Nordberg has announced that the world class handset maker will launch their Windows 7 based phones by next year i.e. 2011. Sony Ericsson Android operating system based handsets are already booming the market and counts for 19% market share. The company plans to take over the market with Microsoft’s new OS, WP7 as well before its too late. Companies such as HTC, Dell, Samsung and LG have already launched handsets based on WP7 in the Indian handset market.

To a name a few, these are LG Optimus 7 & Optimus 7Q, HTC HD7, HTC 7 Mozart and Samsung Omnia 7. Hopefully, the company will expand its profits via this venture as the smartphone market is on a high in India and the graph is going up only. The feature phones market is on a decline and Sony Ericsson's intentions are quite obvious that it wants to catch up with the latest trend. Windows 7 is being highly praised these days as it is quite contemporary and trendy. Some of the most wonderful features of Windows 7 OS are mentioned below.

It features access to popular entertainment services such as Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE Gaming and Microsoft’s Zune Player for music and video. The former lets users play console video games and the latter let them download and play favourite music tracks. There is an AR Application called as Scan Search which lets user gets real time information on almost every aspect such as people, news, entertainment, weather etc. etc. Some analysts argue that delaying the launch would be disadvantageous for Sony Ericsson and it should have been done as early as possible.

It might be that Sony comes up with some real spectacular handsets. The company, Sony Ericsson hopes to release their WP 7 based hand sets by 2011 in the market. As of now, though nothing is official but phones are expected to come out soon as per the company officials. Sony is sure to make huge profits with these Windows 7 phones manufacturing in the near future. Windows 7 phones are a craze among youth just as the Android based phones and will soon give tough competition to them.
