 "Sony Ericsson unveils Xperia arc S")
Sony Ericsson have updated their flagship Android handset with a speedier 1.4GHz processor giving it a 25 percent performance boost on average. Known as the Xperia arc S, the new droid will hit retail shelves globally in Q4 2011. No word on the pricing yet, of course but, if we were to hazard a guess, it’ll probably be priced under 30K and the existing arc may be pushed down the price bracket or discontinued.
