Sony Ericsson Dual Core HD "Nozomi" Phone To Take On iPhone 5 Next Year

March 2012 appeas to be a long way from now (half a year) but Sony Ericsson is apparently going to be launching a new phone then codenamed Nozomi, a handset that will be the flagship device for the company for the rest of the year.
One source close to Sony Ericsson told XperiaBlog that the phone will come with a 1.5GHz dual core SoC (probably a Qualcomm model), 1GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, a 4.3-inch display with a HD ready resolution (1280x720 pixels).

This would give the Nozomi a higher pixel density compared to the iPhone 4 (342ppi vs 326ppi); the phone will also be the first one to come with a microSIM like the Nokia N9 and the iPhone 4. It will also sport a 1750mAh and NFC capabilities but will lack any memory card option which, we suspect, means that we might see a Windows-based Nozomi version as well.
Expect the phone to be launched at the annual Sony Ericsson party in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress 2012 and to replace the Sony Ericsson ARC S as the top of SE's portfolio.
It is likely that the followup to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, the Xperia Pro and the Xperia Play - the one we're most eager to see - will also be presented.

Sony Ericsson introduces 3D photography to 2D phones

New Xperia Arc S can take 3D panoramas using a standard camera, using a new feature that will also be added to other Sony Ericsson Xperia devices. 

Sony Ericsson’s new top-of-the-range mobile phone will be able to take 3D panoramic pictures using a standard 2D camera, the company has announced.
By taking multiple images and then stitching them together, the Xperia Arc Swill be able to simulate 3D on any appropriately equipped 3D television, the manufacturer said. On the phone itself, pictures will only be viewable in 2D.
The device is based on Google’s Android operating system and will be released from October in the UK. Sony Ericsson also claims that it runs 25 per cent faster than its predecessors, the Arc, because of a faster, 1.4GHz processor.
The Arc S includes a 4.2” screen and the camera definition is 8.1MP. Any 3D images are viewed by connecting the phone to a 3D TV using the HDMI output.
Sony Ericsson’s new products are increasingly integrated into Sony’s mainstream products: the Arc S can act as a remote control for Sony Bravia televisions, and it also features Sony’s Music and Video Unlimited media stores.
