Xperia X10 Mini successor spotted?

Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10 Mini/X10 Mini Pro is a cute little phone that was introduced last year and now leaked pictures suggest that a successor is already in the works. The pictures show a small phone with a similar form factor, but pack juicier specifications. Considering that the Xperia X10 Mini was announced during the last Mobile World Congress, speculation is that Sony Ericsson might be using that platform again to announce its successor. Rumored specifications of the new Xperia Mini include:

• Android 2.3 Gingerbread
• 1GHz Snapdragon processor
• 3.0-inch display
• Rear- and front-facing camera
• Slide-out QWERTY keyboard
