Sony Ericsson's Xperia X8 will get an upgrade to Android version 2.1 before the end of the year, a company spokesman said on Monday.
The Xperia X8 is based on version 1.6 of Google's OS.
Sony Ericsson started distributing an upgrade to Android version 2.1 for its other Android-based smartphones:
the Xperia X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro.
Xperia X8 is one of a growing number of cheaper Android-based smartphones, and costs about €200 (US$280) before subsidies. It started shipping in the beginning of October, and comes with a 3-inch display, a 3.2-megapixel camera and navigation using A-GPS (Assisted-GPS).
Sony Ericsson reported a third-quarter net profit of €49 million, compared to a loss of €164 million a year earlier and a profit of €12 million in the previous quarter, and it has Android to thank for the turnaround, the company said.
