Can Sony Xperia Lotus be the successor to Active?

Information has been leaked about the Sony Xperia ST27 Lotus.

Some information has appeared on Sony Mobile’s site about a hitherto unknown device, the ST27. Based on these, the smartphone has a dual-core CPU ticking at 1 GHz. The size of the display is unknown, but it is known that it can display 854 × 480 pixels. Android Gingerbread is currently running on the device, but that is sure to change until it comes out. According to the numbering, the novelty has a good chance of being a successor to the Xperia Active, as it was known as ST17. This will certainly come to light soon.
