Sony Ericsson mobiles get leaked weeks before their official update, and for the most part, there is no fun in their official updates. After recently seeing pictures of the Sony Ericsson Hallon taken by the rumored Anzu, they represented a couple of pictures showing a so far un-named Sony Ericsson Xperia Android smartphone. The device looks to be a successor to those in the current X10 line-up (a reasonable guess for naming this device could be X12 mini pro). As a matter of fact, X10 mini pro was an adorably tiny device with a surprisingly good keyboard, and based on a few pictures, it looks like Sony Ericsson is ready to refresh the form factor with some much beefier specs. The previous X10
line-up packed quite a tight punch with its tiny screen and processor and was quite admired phones. So descendant of those just needed to notch up the processor, run it off Gingerbread (Android OS 2.3), add some iniquitous fast graphics chips and let it run amok with Neocore and Quadrant to see just how fast a tiny computer can be.

It will sport a 3 Inch multi-touch display with resolution of 320×480. The screen resolution is estimated to be HVGA and Bravia-Quality, not like the PlayStation phone. It is a rumor that the newly leaked device will be running on Android 2.4 operating platform though Android 2.3 Gingerbread is all you can really recognize for now. The button layout somewhat resembles to the previous Anzu. The CPU ticking inside is said to be a 1GHz Snapdragon, confirmed by the impressive benchmark results. 1 GHz with an Adreno 205 GPU will provide some pretty impressive 3D graphics rendering. The benchmarks reveal a score of 1,533 which currently beats the Froyo running Nexus One while the pictures speak of a small sized device with three hardware buttons, wearing the XPERIA branding. It also has a QWERTY slide-out keyboard.
The XPERIA X10 Mini Pro was announced at the Sony Ericsson press conference at the MWC 2010 so we will probably see the newly leaked device properly announced on 13th February just before the start of MWC 2011.
