Sony Ericsson today confirmed that the XPERIA X10 will be upgraded to Android 2.1 in the fourth quarter of the year. They’re calling it a UXP (User Experience Platform) upgrade and it’s going to be great! Besides upgrading the operating system to version 2.1, the UXP upgrade will also include other new features. HD video capture like on the Vivaz is one of these. This means you’ll be able to record 720p (1280 x 720 pixels) video clips on the phone and I’m also hoping for continuous auto focus during video recording.
They’re also upgrading the two signature applications Mediascape and Timescape to “make them even smarter and richer”, whatever that means. DLNA support is also coming in this upgrade.
More details will be available later in the year, but that’s all we’re getting right now. It’s coming in Q4, so I’d say some time around October. There’s also a small update for the X10 coming within the next couple of weeks, that’ll improve stability and usability.
Oh – the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro are also getting an Android 2.1 update in Q4 this year. Nice!
