Sony Ericsson 'Kurara' is Fast, Really Fast
Techtree News Staff, Nov 19, 2009 1729 hrs ISTLikely to arrive in February 2010 for about $745
Sony Ericsson's upcoming S60 based handset, the Kurara has been in the news for a while now. In fact, the last time we heard of it, it was regarding the "HD" label that someone found the phone with.
Back then, nothing much was made of the label since little was known about the kind of processing power the Kurara was likely to sport. Almost a month down the line, Eldar Murtazin from Mobile Review seems to have got hold of an early version of the Kurara. He seems to have figured out that the phone comes with an ARM Cortex A8 Processor with 256MB of RAM, which for a S60 phone translates to blazing performance.
It is also likely to be equipped with a Power VR chip for dedicated Graphics processing. In fact, the hardware specs seem to match that of the Omnia HD, which is arguably the fastest S60 handset around as of now. The Omnia HD also boasts of HD Video recording - thanks to its processor - the same one as the Kurara's. Now, speculation is rife that since Kurara has the capability and the hardware to record HD Videos, has Sony Ericsson gone ahead and enabled the same for the device?
Eldar is likely to post first impressions of the handsets later this week and we will finally find out if the Omnia HDs reign as the only HD capable (recording and playback, both) phone has eventually come to an end. The Kurara is likely to arrive officially by the second week of February 2010 in the $745 (Rs, 34,000) price range.
