We found the Xperia Arc to be quite a turn on and with news of a smaller version of the same doing the rounds, we don’t mind getting some more of it either. The ST18i has been caught on camera again and this time with some specifications as well.

BRAVIA Engine on a 3-inch display

The ST18i had earlier made an appearance along with the CK15i, but back then there weren’t any specs of the former. Now GSMArena’s got hold of some more photos of the ST18i which is codenamed Urushi and flaunts a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor with an Adreno 205 GPU to give a boost to the graphics. The smartphone will be running on Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread and is said to have a 3.2-inch display that has a BRAVIA engine and comes with a nice resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. That’s not all though, the handset has an 8 megapixel camera with LED Flash that can record videos at 720p.

Belongs to the Xperia family

Keeping the specifications aside, there’s something about ST18i launching some time in September this year, but that along with the specifications has to be confirmed with an official announcement.
