14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson is reportedly getting ready to come to the market with a second version of its recently unveiled Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pureness handset. The device, as many of you might already know, has been announced to include a transparent screen, being the first handset of the kind in the world.
One should already be familiar with the fact that, although it sports a rather leveraged price tag, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pureness does not strike in any way when it comes to the features that have been packed inside it. Beside the transparent screen and a rater futuristic external design, the phone also includes basic capabilities, in an attempt to keep the usage of mobile phones to a simpler level.
The same is expected to be applied to the upcoming sequel, it seems. According to Electric Pig, Daniel Mauritzson, the Sony Ericsson Pureness’s designer, already confirmed the fact that the second device is under development, while also stating that things will be kept simple once again: “He told us it’d continue the original’s mission of simplifying mobile phones, boiling them down to the very basic functions to act as a 'counterbalance' to feature-packed smartphones,” the news site notes.
No specific details on what the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pureness 2 might include, yet it seems that the mobile phone is only on its early stages of development. “He did hint that the focus would be on the software inside the Pureness 2 though, stating that Sony Ericsson designers had been forced to think differently by the monochrome screen, dealing in large, high contrast icons, and that future versions would simplify it even further,” Electric Pig states.
There are small chances that the second Pureness from Sony Ericsson would be announced any time soon, especially since Mauritzson reportedly stated that the development of the first device took two years to complete. However, based on the fact that the process is mainly focused on removing features from the handset rather than on adding them into the equation, we're pretty interested on what Sony Ericsson will deliver to the market in the end.
