A Review Of The Brilliant Xperia X8 From Sony Ericsson

Sony Ericsson have added to their impressive and growing Xperia range of handsets

with the new X8 model, a great looking budget smartphone that should appeal to both newcomers to the smartphone market as well as the younger consumers, thanks to its stylish look.

One nice element of the Xperia X8 is its size, yes the model is a smartphone, but Sony Ericsson have opted for just a 3" screen in this model, rather than following the likes of HTC and Samsung and trying to fit in as big a screen as possible. The result is a phone that does not lack in performance, but also one that appeals because of its compact nature. At 320 x 480 pixels, the display offers superb quality of graphic with the resolution being more than ample given the screens size. Another factor that contributes the the great image quality is the fact the screen can display up to 16 million colours. Utilising TFT technology, the panel is touch sensitive and works using the capacitive system, resulting in a very responsive user experience. The physical buttons that are located beneath the screen enhance the look of the phone as the follow the pattern set by previous Xperia models and feature a chrome finish. These three keys will perform the Home, Menu and Back functions. On the top of the device is where you will the micro USB connection to allow synchronisation with your home computer. Alongside this is a 3.5mm headphone jack which will be much appreciated by music lovers as it allows a massive range of headphones to be used with this model.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 boasts some good social networking features that will appeal to many potential consumers. Not only are individual sites available as applications, the phone also supports a very useful feature named Timescape. What this offers the user is a log that not only incorporates your own messages and missed calls, but also information from sites such as Facebook. This is a simple overview of everything that is happening around you. This feature works well thanks to the phones support of two band 3G. This means whilst on the move and where coverage is applicable, the user can benefit from the fastest possible data exchange rates. WiFi options are also present on this model for the ultimate online connection. Camera wise the unit boast a 3.15 mega pixel unit that also offers geo tagging facilities. Video footage can also be filmed at 30 frames per second in VGA quality.

In the race for the most high specification smartphone, it is refreshing to see a manufacturer step back and produce a handset that is designed with the consumer in mind. A great design, colour options and compact size make this smartphone a real eye catcher.
