Sony Ericsson has launched its latest Android device, the Xperia X8, a mid-level entry to the smartphone market.
The device will have a 3-inch HVGA touchscreen, a 600 MHz processor,Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS, a 3.2MP camera, a microSD slot, a 3.5mm headset jack, and will run the aging Android 1.6.
An update to 2.1 is expected "soon," however, says Sony. On top of the Android OS, the device will use Sony Ericsson's "four corners" UI layer.
Additionally, the X8 will run the Timescape app, which manages calls, texts, emails, and social networking.
As with all SE devices, the phone will come with strong video and audio playback players.
Price and release date were not revealed.
