Hikaru, The New High-end Slider

[d@rK nEmEsIs]

Are you ready to forget the Xperia X1? Probably not, but listen up here: Sony Ericsson is getting ready to release a new touchscreen handset that will bring 8GB of internal memory and an 8 Megapixel camera.

This handset’s codename is Hikaru and, according to the SEMC Blog, it will be the next high-end slider of the Swedish-Japanese manufacturer.

For the moment, it’s not clear where Hikaru will fit into Sony Ericsson’s range of products. Will it be a Walkman, a Cyber-shot, or perhaps a G-series? Who knows?

Also, it’s not clear if it will have an alphanumeric or a QWERTY keyboard, but I guess any of these two would be nice to have, together with the phone’s supposedly large touchscreen display.

Since there’s no image with the real Sony Ericsson Hikaru, here's mockup of it, based on SE’s W960 model. Here it is:

The official Hikaru most probably doesn’t look like this. Let’s hope it will actually look better.

Apart from Hikaru, a Sony Ericsson Twiggy is also said to come next year. It will be the successor of W350, thus it’s a Walkman phone.

Sony Ericsson Twiggy will have a 240 x 320 pixels display, a 3 MP camera and two color versions. It should be on sale starting the second quarter of 2009. No image with it yet.

Specs according to SE-World.info:

- Walkman slider
- Compact metal-housing
- WLAN, 2,6″ Display
- 8.1-Mp camera with AF
- Facedetection, photo-flash, video QVGA 30 fps
- Walkman player 4.0
- 3.5mm jack
- Stereospeakers
- Extra player keys
