Mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson announced Thursday the launch of two additions to its Xperia smartphone product portfolio, the Xperia mini and the Xperia mini pro.
Sony Ericsson is a joint venture formed in 2001 between Sweden's LM Ericsson Telephone Company (NASDAQ:ERIC) and Japan's Sony Corporation (NYSE:SNE).
The London-headquartered company said the new handsets are "building on the success of the original mini series" and will utilize Google Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) new Android operating system, Gingerbread 2.3.
A one-gigahertz Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) Snapdragon processor powers both phones, which use SONY display technology. The Xperia mini pro has a keyboard that slides out while the company claims the Xperia mini is the world's smallest Android running smartphone that also has HD-video recording capabilities.
The phones will go on sale in the third quarter.
Shares of Ericsson are trading down 1.46% at $14.84.
