Sony Ericsson Xperia X12 snaps leak online

Images of the latest Sony Ericsson Xperia model, the X12, have leaked online, with Russian bloggers giving it the once over and revealing what it's wearing under the hood.

Codenamed Anzu, it features a 4.3 inch LCD display running at an 854 x 480 resolution with a 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 chip powering the show, the same as can be found in the HTC Desire Z.

As for the OS, it's currently stuck on Android 2.1, with 2.2 due for inclusion before its retail release. Sorry for those hoping for a Gingerbread smartphone, but you're going to have to wait until some time in 2011 until the X12 makes that particular jump.

No news on pricing or release yet, or even an official name yet, but we'll keep you posted on whatever comes of the Anzu. For now, enjoy a few more snaps of the phone below.

Sony Ericsson Anzu aka Xperia X12 Previewed, Release Date Is Early 2011

Eldar Murtazin is a very popular figure in the gadget world as he always manages to get his hands on devices that others dream of touching. The last phone to fall into his hands is the rumored Sony Ericsson Anzu, a device that should become SE’s flagship device in 2011.

The Sony Ericsson Anzu is powered by a 800MHz processor from Qualcomm, the same CPU found in the T-Mobile G2 aka HTC Desire Z, and Android 2.1 OS. Murtazin says that the SE Anzu will run on Android 2.2 Froyo at launch, while users will be able to download Android 2.3 Gingerbread soon after.

If the CPU will be clocked at this speed, then the Sony Ericsson Anzu should run stock Android UI in order to prevent any lag. Still, I can’t understand why would someone put a 800MHz CPU when the competition will bring smartphones with dual-core 1.2GHz processors to the market.

Sony Ericsson might be crazy, but the Anzu will feature a 4.3-inch touchscreen with a 854 x 480 resolution, HDMI output, and a 12-megapixel camera on the back capable of shooting 720p HD video. Again, others will bring 8MP cameras capable of recording 1080p videos. In 2011 filming 720p videos will be so… 2010.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X12 enjoys public outing

Those of you hoping the phone that Sony Ericsson codenamed Anzu, but should be released as the Xperia X12, would be packing Gingerbread out of the box are in for a disappointment as a Russian insider has got his hands on the device and dismissed the rumours.

The early-model device pictured is said to be running Android 2.1, with 2.2 expected to be loaded up come launch day, and 2.3 not coming until later on in 2011.

But despite the lack of next-gen Android action, this device does look like a sexy bit of kit, and is packing some decent hardware on board too.

It has a 4.3-inch LCD display with a 854 x 480 resolution and it runs via the same chip that you'll find inside a HTC Desire Z, the 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 .

Its camera is 12 megapixels and it is capable of shooting 720p HD videos as well.

There's no release details for the codenamed Anzu as of yet, but as always we'll keep you posted.
