Sony Ericsson Neo packs 8MP and Gingerbread

Sony Ericsson has officially announced the Neo, its photo-centric Android Gingerbread smartphone, at MWC 2011 today. Effectively an Android update to the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, with that handset’s focus on digital photography, the Neo has an 8-megapixel camera, HDMI connector, and screen technology borrowed from Sony’s BRAVIA line.


Like the XPERIA Arc, there’s EXMOR R display technology, and Sony Ericsson have integrated the Neo with Sony’s remote control systems so that you’ll be able to navigate the phone’s menu and galleries while it’s connected via HDMI. A front-facing 2-megapixel camera rounds out the main specs.
The Sony Ericsson Neo will launch in dark blue We’ve also been told that Vodafone will be exclusively offering the Neo in red. No word on pricing at this stage.
