A look at Sony Ericsson's UXP Interface

For its Xperia X10 smartphones, Sony Ericsson designed a new user interface from scratch. Called the User Experience Platform or UXP, it sits on top of the Android operating system on the Xperia X10, X10 Mini, and X10 Mini Pro smartphones.

Here are a few shots of how the UXP interface actually looks on the X10 mini pro.SE has done a fantastic job shrinking it for the smaller Xperia devices.

1) Timescape

Timescape displays your latest e-mails, text messages, and social media alerts for various contacts in a flowing design that resembles a stacked deck of cards. The S-shape of the stream was based on a flower.

2) Main menu

The blue background is standard across the UI. The typeface is based on a new font Sony Ericsson developed called "Soma."

3) Dialer

The phone dialer interface features touch controls for each number. Notice the four shortcut icons in each corner. As you move between different screens, the shortcuts will change to offer access to related features.

4) Homescreen

As on other Android phones, you can access the notifications bar and the main menu window shade.

5) Camera

The camera viewfinder uses the whole 2.55-inch display on the X10 Mini Pro. Shortcuts and camera controls hide in the corners of the touch screen.

6) Video Player

The video player has a simple interface, although its not a device on which you'd like to watch a full-length movie.

7) Media Player

We have a toned down version of the Mediascape. The infinity button is still there.. If you press it you'll see a list of all media files by that artist.

8) FM Radio

Here's how the radio UI looks like.

Here are shots of the entire UI. Sony Ericsson has done a remarkable job with it. Am looking forward to get a X10 mini pro :)
