Mas que diabos, Sony Erisson? “Reality Display”!? Isso é inveja dos comentários sobre a Retina Display da Apple, da Super AMOLED Plus da Samsung e NOVA da LG? Bom, tanto faz, este smartphone com Android Gingerbread tem 8.7mm de espessura –sim, um novo celular “mais fino do mundo”.
Eu me sinto meio mal pela LG, de verdade, que ficou menos de um dia com seu título de “mais fino do mundo” por causa dos 9,2 mm do Optimus Black, e que desbancou o iPhone 4 por ser um milímetro menor.
O Arc tem um Reality Display de 4,2 polegadas com resolução de 854 x 480, que eles dizem que será mais vivo e nítido do que outras telas por ter a “versão mobile da engine Bravia”. Tem uma câmera de 8.1 MP atrás (nada de câmeras frontais aqui), e duas opções de cor. “Opções de cor!!”, vocês dizem. Sim: Midnight Blue e Misty Silver. Wow!
Ele estará nas lojas nos próximos meses.
UPDATE: Desculpem, parece que o LG’s Optimus Black na verdade tem 6mm em seu ponto mais fino, então eles ainda não precisam passar a faixa de miss para a Sony Ericsson.
