The Sony Ericsson Kurara is the latest handset the Japanese-Swedish mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson has been rumored to deliver to the market in the near future. We've already had the chance to enjoy a series of leaked images with the handset, as well as some specifications on it, and now some more details on what the Kurara might feature have emerged.

According to a recent post on Mobile Review, the Sony Ericsson Kurara will sport an ARM Cortex A8 processor inside, which is complemented by 256MB of RAM and paired with a PowerVR graphics processor. The handset has already been rumored to come around with HD capabilities, and these specifications seem to confirm exactly that, while also showing that it will be able to offer enough raw power to enhance the user experience.

We should expect for the Sony Ericsson Kurara to sport 720p video recording and playback capabilities when launched, which doesn't sound that bad after all. Moreover, the Symbian S60 OS it sports is said to deliver a nice experience, which means that the HD features might not be all that matters when it comes to the new device.

We will still have to wait a little longer before being able to see exactly what the Sony Ericsson Kurara is capable of, for its release date is said to have been set for the second half of February in Europe. As for the price tag it might come with, consider €500 ($745) the possible cost for it on the old continent. No details on the handset's availability or pricing in the US emerged at the moment.

Previously leaked specs on the device included a 3.2-inch display, GPS receiver, Wi-Fi connectivity, a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD memory card slot, LED flash, face detection, and smile shutter features for the camera, and a 1200 mAh battery. Take a look at the new image available with the phone, for it is a clearer one, and stay tuned for further updates on it.
