New pictures of the purported Sony Xperia U handset have emerged ahead of a potential launch at Mobile World Congress next week.
The diminutive device is shown next to the recently-unveiled Xperia S and will reportedly arrive toting a 3.5-inch WVGA display and a scaled-back 1GHz processor.
According to the snaps, the Android handset, known in some circles as the Kumquat or the ST25i, brings the same aesthetic qualities to the table, although the Sony Ericsson branding is still present.
The attractive, squarer design, curved back, protruding chin and the transparent strip of capacitive buttons near the foot of the device are all in place.
