Xperia X10 will get the Android Gingerbread update

Here is some good news for Xperia X10 users. Sony Ericsson who previously shut doors to update the Xperia phone beyond Android 2.1, has now confirmed to give the Android 2.3.3 update. Sony Ericsson’s change of heart decision came after working on their 2011 range and felt Xperia X10 can be upgraded for a better experience.

Although Sony Ericsson will work to provide most of Gingerbread features, SE will remove and replace some features found in the Android 2.1 build like Moxier, Mediascape, Sony Ericsson Backup and Restore and support for bi-directional languages will be reduced.

Unbranded Xperia X10 users can expect the update in Q2 / early Q3 this year.
