The Advertising Standards Authority has upheld a complaint against Sony Ericsson for the phone specifications shown on its website.

The web page for the Xperia X8 smartphone claimed ‘Standby time (up to) 446 hours’ with a note below reading ‘Battery performance may vary depending on network conditions and configuration, and phone usage’. An ASA investigation was launched after receiving a complaint that suggested the standby time for the smartphone was substantially less than the advertised figure.

Research published by the GSMA shows that the number of mobile devices will grow 100% within the next ten years from more than 6 billion today to 12 billion in 2020.

The GSMA says this’ll offer mobile operators a worldwide revenue opportunity of nearly $1.2 trillion by 2020.
