SI: Sony Ericsson?s Mighty XPERIA X10 Coming In 2010 ? Full Specs And Pics

Snapdragon indeed, well, officially the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250. That’s the speed and name of the processor behind the new XPERIA X10, complete with a 4 inch capacitive touch display, 8.1 megapixel camera with LED flash, custom Google Android (Donut and Rachael), and 8GB included MicroSD removable storage. Click here for an outrageously large XPERIA X10 gallery. The custom UI is so slick that you swear you were looking at a device that was in the most recent Star Trek movie. It’s so fluid, so beautiful, and so powerful. But power comes at a price. We all know the more power intensive a device is, the battery suffers. Engadget had an exclusive first hands-on with the XPERIA X10 (as well as SlashGear) and shared some excellent pictures, videos and thoughts, but was worried about that as well by stating,

Another thing that Snapdragon can do, apparently, is eat through your phone’s battery. Again, we are dealing with a pre-production model here, but the number of power issues and the near-permanent attachment to the charger of the one device on show did not bode well for this phone’s endurance. It sports the same 1,500mAh battery as the X2, so make of that what you will

So you may wonder why I list a problem with the phone so quickly after stating the specs. Because, to be honest, I can’t find anything else wrong with the X10. It’s anyone guess what the battery figures will finally end up being, though. I assume there will be different power modes and some sort of efficiency system for that 1ghz processor. Sony Ericsson has always pushed the bar for battery life and I don’t expect it to be totally disappointing. If the Android App Store keeps growing and PlayNow somehow comes to the USA, I could see iPhone users getting very tempted with this incredible device because it has so many features that make nearly everything else look like its from the stone age. If you’re wondering, yes, it even has a 3.5 mm audio jack. AND a Webkit browser.

The XPERIA X10 comes in curious colors called “Sensuous Black” and “Luster White”
