Sony Ericsson's 720p shootin', S60 runnin' Kurara leaks out

Rumor

se-kurara-3

A year ago Sony Ericsson’s prominence was dropping faster than Kirstie Alley could pound back Quarter Pounders, but its most recent offerings have been successful in generating buzz in a way that the Japanese-Swedish phone maker hasn’t experienced in quite some time. Fast forward to today where pictures of the companies second Symbian S60 device have leaked out by way of Russia and again we have some buzz, this time about how its 8.1 megapixel camera might be able to record videos at resolutions up to 720p. It’s codenamed Kurara and is said to have a 3.5″ AMOLED display, but other than that we really don’t know anything about it, other than it’s likely to come sometime within the next 6 months. More pictures are available after the break.

Thanks to everyone that send this in!

    In one picture, its the size of the soda can, and in the other, its half the size of the soda can. So which pic in more accurate?

      it’s standing up on the one photo, it’s on it’s side on the other.

      Because SE has revolutionized the cell industry with it’s first ever morphing cell phone! Makes itself small or big depending on the user’s hand. Hope that explains it, you idiot.

    It looks like a camera-fied Cowon S9 — strangely cheap. If it feels as cheap as an S9, I’d be pretty well turned off…but if the camera’s at the same level as the Instinct HD (from what I’ve heard), I’d look past that.

    Wonder why there is an American Coke can in pictures from a Russian site? Where might that leak have really come from?

    All Sony really need to do now is migrate the PSP onto the phone. Only then would I ever consider purchasing a phone from them.

    First OLED touchscreen? SE needs to bring it to market ASAP or iPhone 3GS2 will. But wait, amoled in this thick case?
    P.S. Genius, you’ve got a typo in AMOED label.

    I wonder how much it weighs. I like the specs but I’m not reallyh feeling the design.

  • adil

    seems like a weird placement for the camera lens.

    @ Funtom, didn’t samsung already come out with a couple AMOLED screen phones?
