Concept mockup of what Sony’s smartphones could look like

Interested in seeing what a Sony Android smartphone could look like? Well thanks designer Jsus, he has managed to edit a photo of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and tweaked it slightly, thus giving us a clue of sorts as to what we could expect from Sony in the future.

As most of you guys should be aware by now, Sony has announced their plans to buy over Ericsson in their Sony Ericsson joint venture and will be dropping the Ericsson name some time in 2012. The company has got their foot out the door with their Tablet P and Tablet S tablets, so it is no surprise that many are curious as to what they can come up with on their own.

As you can see in the photo above, the Xperia Arc has been given a makeover with a bulge at the base of the device, similar to that of the Sony Tablet S. The bulge supposedly made the tablet easier to view when laid flat on a table, but we’re not sure how this would translate to a smartphone. Either way it’s an interesting design – who knows, perhaps Sony could be adopting this idea in the future.
