It belongs to Sony's large family of Xperia smartphones and tablets. This family was launched in 2008 by a joint venture initiated in 2001 between Sony and Ericsson. Sony bought Ericsson's stake in the joint-venture in 2012, and since 2012, all-new Xperia products have been branded only Sony. The Xperia arc is also known as Anzu or X12 or LT15i, LT15a... (the ending letter in the 'LT15~' names -also often written with small caps 'lt15~'-, indicates different models, in particular, related to geography.)
It has a 4.2-inch (110 mm) touch-screen, the mobile BRAVIA engine which optimises the picture and runs at a resolution of 854×480 pixels, a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, an 8.1 mega-pixel camera, micro-HDMI-out and 512 MB of RAM. The name of the handset refers to the arc-like side silhouette.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia arc is available in four colors: Midnight Blue, Misty Silver, Pink (Japan and South Korea), Black (US), and White and Black (South Korea and Mexico only).
