Sony Ericsson MT27i Pepper leaked image front

We’ve already seen evidence of two new Xperia smartphones by Sony Ericsson, the well documented Sony Ericsson LT26i Xperia Arc HD Nozomi and a yet unnamed large-screened Xperia smartphone with an off-center rear camera and lanyard loop-hole.

XperiaBlog has just unearthed a third new Xperia smartphone, the Sony Ericsson MT27i Pepper. According to the blog, it will be a mid-range device, and a successor to the Xperia Neo. It has taken some design cues from the Nozomi, but will feature a smaller 3.7-inch 480×854 display. The Peper is said to ran on a 1GHz dual-core processor and will have a 5-megapixel rear camera.

Sony Ericsson Xperia teaser

Sony Ericsson Germany has just uploaded a teaser photo of a new Xperia handset on the company’s Facebook page. The Sony Ericsson Xperia phone is lovingly handled at a train station, though it’s uncertain whether it is a yet unseen device or the company’s long-rumored Xperia Arc HD Nozomi smartphone (ironically Nozomi is the name for Japan’s high-speed trains).

A close look at the teaser reveals an off-center camera and a loop hole on the right side:

Sony Ericsson Xperia Active hit with hammer

We are suckers for rugged gadgets. Our lives are hectic enough and our minds are filled with all kinds of worries, like keeping you informed on all the latest gadgets, to have to worry about pampering our smartphones. We loved the Motorola Defy+ in our recent review, because of the convenience in having such a rugged phone.

Sony Ericsson’s rugged Android smartphone is called the Xperia Active. It’s a small 3-inch device with a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor running Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Someone who either loves or hates his Sony Ericsson Xperia Active immensely, has gone to great lengths to torture-test the device. First, dunking it into a street puddle, then stubbing it with a swiss army knife, a cutter, a screwdriver and a chisel and finally hitting it with a hammer and a wrench. If that wasn’t enough to make you close your eyes and look away in pain, the last test involves driving over the Xperia Active and a potato with a Jeep Wrangler; guess which one survives! All three videos are after the break.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc HD (Nozomi)

Although information is still sketchy, images of a new Android smartphone, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc HD (a.k.a. Nozomi), pegged as the Xperia Arc successor, have leaked over at iAndroid. The smartphone with model number LT26i, is sporting a 1280×720 (720p) resolution with a retina worthy 320dpi (dots-per-inch) pixel density, similar to the just announced HTC Rezound, with a 4.3-inch display.

The Nozomi or Xperia Arc HD is rumored to run on a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor with 1GB of RAM. The Quadrant benchmark score in the pictures is 1,840; this is relatively low for such a processor, but would show how tasking it is for the GPU to drive the 720p resolution. Besides that, from the images we can see front and rear cameras and Xperia branding, while there is a white LED row at the back of the phone.

As with all current Android smartphones, this one is running Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, though Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich might catch up with the Xperia Arc HD before it is finally released, making it the first smartphone by Sony Ericsson to run the latest and greatest version of Android. Besides, remember that 720p is the native resolution for Android 4.0.

More pictures after the break.
