Sony Ericsson has announced a new Walkman series handset called the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman, an Android smartphone that is said to deliver a unique social music experience. The handset has Facebook integration just like the Xperia handsets and also the Qriocity music and video service from Sony Ericsson.
The new handset has a curved design with a glossy finish and dedicated Walkman hardware buttons. The display is a 3.2 inch capacitive touch screen and the handset is powered by a 1GHz processor. It has 5MP rear camera with 720p video recording capability and a front video camera for Skype video calling. The handset will also Sony’s xLOUD feature which enhances audio output.
Nikolaus Scheurer, Head of Product Marketing, Sony Ericsson said: “Consumers want smartphones to deliver a rich and social entertainment experience. Rather than a one dimensional music experience, they want instant and seamless access to new content, combined with the ability to share and connect with their friends. The Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™ provides exactly this, in a powerful package with great style.”
Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will be available globally in selected markets from Q4 2011 and will be available in black and white colour options.
