Xperia X10 Screen IS 16M Colours…just not yet

Since the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 was announced there has been quite a lot of confusion over the number of colours supported by the screen. Sony Ericsson then tried to clarify the matter by answering some frequently asked questions but caused widespread discontent when they confirmed that the screen was a mere 65,536.

Now though, it seems there’s a little more to it. According to posts from SE support on their Developer Forum, it is Android 1.6 which is limiting the colours to 65k. The hardware in the device will support more, much more in fact as it is apparently capable of displaying the 16M colours everyone wanted.

So, there you go. Is that a clear answer at last or just more fuel for the fire of confusion, it’s up to you how much faith you put in those comments. We’ll likely have to wait and see to be absolutely sure!

    So….. until X10 gets Android 2.0 or above, the 16m colours won’t be unlocked?

    If SE release this phone with Android 1.6 it will bomb. Period.

    Nothing to do with screen colours, but at a time with products like the Droid and soon to be many more upgrading to 2.0, this will be just like the original XPERIA, outdated before it even hits the shelves. I do feel for you SE.

    Is it me or is this a much faster Software update on this X10? Much more impressive than the GSM Arena videos.
