Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Philippines : Price, Specs, Photos

We've just received word from Sony Ericsson's PR agency in the Philippines that the much-awaited Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc can officially be pre-ordered in a public preview at Sony Summer Hotspots happening from March 11 to 13, 2011 at SM Megatrade Hall 1!





A true flagship release, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc features top-of-the-line technical specifications. The handset runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system with its 1 GHz Scorpion processor and flaunts a massive 4.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display, 8 MegaPixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, HD 720p video capture capability and microSD card slot supporting up to 32GB. As for connectivity, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc supports Wifi, Bluetooth and 3G.



Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc features Sony's award-winning Exmor R mobile sensor with f/2.4 lens, which enables users to capture high quality pictures and HD videos even in low light conditions. All pictures and videos captured using the handset can then be shared in HD on a Sony Bravia TV via the built-in HDMI port.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc dons a price tag of £459.99 in the UK. We've yet to receive official pricing details of the phone in the Philippines but off hand, I'm expecting this flagship release to get an SRP in the range of PhP 30,000 - PhP 40,000. Please stay tuned for updates on this handset's availability in the Philippines.

UPDATE: The official suggested retail price of Sony Ericsson Arc in the Philippines is Php 29,990 -- a lot less than that was earlier predicted. No word yet on official launch date.
