Li Xiang and I was invited to the Sony Ericsson blogger gathering at Orgo which is located at Esplanade’s Roof Terrace. Pretty nice location!

Sony Ericsson showed us 3 phones:

Xperia Arc

Xperia Arc
Xperia Arc

Arc is the successor to the Xperia X10 and features some cool stuff like:

  • Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine
    Enhanced contrast. Richer colors. Less image noise. It reduces light reflection and thus the picture stays clear when you’re outdoors.
  • Sony’s Exmor R
    Sony’s Exmor R for mobile CMOS sensor lets you capture high-quality, bright pictures and videos in poor light conditions. The camera has an aperture of f2.4.
  • All Black Display in Standby
    When you phone is in standby mode, it’s screen is being camouflage with the rest of the phone because of the All Black Display.
  • No Air Gap Display
    When you look at your screen at an angle, you will notice that there is a gap between the display and the touch screen. Because of the No Air Gap Display, the arc does not have this.

You can start pre-ordering the Arc at the Sony Ericsson Concept Stores located at Ang Mo Kio Hub or Parkway Parade or at your respective telcos, SingTel, m1 or StarHub. It comes with a Montblanc leather case and no word on the pricing yet! (Thanks To Justin Lee for the info)

Play is dubbed the PlayStation Phone, but in fact, it is a phone which is PlayStation Certified. Going forward, other handsets manufacturer are able to make their own “PlayStation Phone” and get it certified from Sony Computer Entertainment. It features a “Real game controller” which is basically dedicated gaming keys, shoulder buttons and an analogue touch joystick. It also provides stereo sound and support for multi-player gaming.
