Sony-Ericsson has just announced an upgrade to the Xperia Arc, a similarly-looking but slightly faster Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S. It’s an odd upgrade which involved a 40% bump in the clock speed, instead of going dual-core.
Aside from that, I could not see any design or cosmetic difference or improvements between the original Arc and the Arc S. The suffix on the name probably stands for “speed”.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S specs:
4.2″ LCD display @ 480×854 pixels
1.4 GHz processor single-core

What they actually did was add more colors — so instead of the white and black, they’ve added blue, silver and pink. Expected release date is as early as October this year. The suggested retail price might also follow the figures on the original Xperia Arc.
