UK online retailer Expansys is at the leaking game once again, this time with news of a new up coming Sony Ericsson Xperia handset.

Although only listed within the site as the Sony Ericsson Xperia the listing details a very different handset to that currently available.

According to Expansys, the new mobile phone will come with an 8-megapixel camera, hi-resolution touch sensitive display and innovative 3D panel interface.

Rather than sport Windows Mobile as with the previous outing, the new model is listed as packing the Google Android OS.

Elsewhere, users will get a large 4-inch display, quad-band connectivity, microSDHC support and stereo Bluetooth.

Sony Ericsson will try to entice photographers with the 8-megapixel camera, as found on the company's C905 and Idou handsets, along with an LED flash. Video support will be in the guise of VGA (640 x 480 pixels) capture at 30 frames per second.

Expansys falls short of listing a release date or price for the new device.
