We previously showed you some photos and some press shots of Sony Ericsson’s latest Android smartphone, which is codenamed Nozomi, and now it would appear that the device will be called the Xperia Arc HD.
The photo below gives us a much better look at the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc HD (Nozomi), which is rumored to feature a 4.3 inch HD display with a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, and it will feature a dual core 1.5GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.
The Xperia Arc HD will come with dual cameras, the rear camera is reported to use Sony’s new 12 megapixel sensor, and it is expected to launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. We are expecting the Xperia Arc HD to be unveiled at CES 2012 in January.
Advanced Camera Capabilities
The 12-megapixel rear camera on the Xperia Arc HD is one of its standout features. Utilizing Sony’s advanced Exmor R sensor technology, this camera is expected to deliver exceptional low-light performance and high-quality images. This makes it an ideal choice for photography enthusiasts who want to capture stunning photos even in challenging lighting conditions. Additionally, the camera is rumored to support full HD 1080p video recording, allowing users to capture high-definition videos with remarkable clarity and detail.
The front-facing camera, although not as powerful as the rear camera, is expected to be sufficient for video calls and selfies. With the increasing popularity of video conferencing and social media, having a reliable front camera is a significant advantage.
Performance and Software
The Xperia Arc HD is expected to be powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, which should provide ample performance for most tasks, including gaming, multimedia consumption, and multitasking. Coupled with 1GB of RAM, the device should be able to handle multiple applications running simultaneously without significant slowdowns.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Xperia Arc HD is its operating system. The device is expected to launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which brings a host of new features and improvements over previous versions of Android. Some of the key features of Android 4.0 include a redesigned user interface, improved multitasking, enhanced notifications, and better integration with Google services.

Design and Build Quality
The Xperia Arc HD is expected to continue Sony Ericsson’s tradition of sleek and stylish designs. The device is rumored to have a slim profile with a slightly curved back, making it comfortable to hold and use. The 4.3-inch HD display is likely to be one of the device’s main selling points, offering vibrant colors and sharp details, making it perfect for watching videos, browsing the web, and playing games.
In terms of build quality, Sony Ericsson has a reputation for producing well-built devices, and the Xperia Arc HD is expected to be no exception. The use of high-quality materials and attention to detail in the construction of the device should ensure that it feels premium and durable.
Connectivity and Storage
The Xperia Arc HD is expected to come with a range of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and possibly NFC (Near Field Communication) for mobile payments and other applications. The device is also likely to support 4G LTE networks, providing fast internet speeds for browsing, streaming, and downloading content.
In terms of storage, the Xperia Arc HD is rumored to come with internal storage options of 16GB or 32GB, with the possibility of expandable storage via a microSD card slot. This should provide ample space for apps, photos, videos, and other media.
