Sony Ericsson Nozomi rumoured; Xperia Ray and Active to be launched in India soon

Multiple reports suggest that Sony Ericsson is working on a new Android 2.3 flagship smartphone called Nozomi. The rumoured device is said to have a 1.4GHz processor and sport a 4.3-inch 720p HD display. However, there's no concrete news on release date of the device.

In the meanwhile, if reports are to be believed, Sony Ericsson's Xperia Ray and Activesmartphones will be launched in India tomorrow. The Xperia Ray and Active, part of Xperia family of smartphones, were introduced few months ago and were touted to be launched in the third quarter. Though the official website of Sony Ericsson has still listed the two Android-based devices in the “coming soon” section, the latest reports suggest that they are coming to India sooner than expected.
