Mobile Review had just posted its hands-on preview on the yet to launch Anzu device from Sony Ericsson. This is the anticipated successor of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 which is believed to be called the Xperia X12 when launched early next year.

The device runs on Qualcomms’s 800Mhz MSM7230 which is identical as the HTC Desire Z with Android 2.1 installed. The screen is slightly bigger at 4.3″ but displays the same 854×480 resolution as the X10. It is said that the new device will be able to support multi touch which has been a lacking feature in the Xperia X10. Mobile Review says that Android 2.2 Froyo for the Anzu is currently under development and will be made available during launch. Considering that it is launched early next year, it is quite a disappointment that it won’t be running on Gingerbread. Knowing how long it took Sony Ericsson to release the Android 2.1 update for Xperia X10, we are still unconvinced with Sony Ericsson’s commitment in pushing out the latest OS version.

Head over to Mobile Review for the full article.

Xperia X10 blog has been tipped on a possible successor of Sony Ericsson’s android flagship device. The device which carries the codename Anzu is said to be designed to run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

It will also come with a 4.3″ display and offers HDMI output in a slim candybar profile. However from the photo above, the device currently runs on Android 2.1 and the final product is expected to be released somewhere in Q1 2011. Nothing else has been revealed but we’re guessing this could be launched together with Sony’s portable gaming device that runs on Android. It is good to see that Sony Ericsson is actually doing something and we hope this time around they would be proactive in releasing products with current Android versions. No more new Xperias with Android 1.6 please!
