We must have missed this from earlier on in the week, but two Sony Ericsson Xperia smartphones managed to pick up awards in the latest annual EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) gong fest. The Sony Ericsson Xperia arc won the European Camera Phone 2011-2012, whilst the Xperia mini won the European Green Smart Phone 2011-2012.
The Xperia arc winning the camera award is hardly a surprise with its 8.1MP Exmor R sensor, despite some very tough competition in the form of the Nokia N8 and iPhone 4. The Xperia mini won the award for its green credentials i.e. being made from recycled plastics and sporting reduced packaging. See the EISA justifying their decisions in the videos below.
