The Impressive Sony Xperia U Features A 5 Megapixel Camera

In this article I will look at the Sony Xperia U and its key features

. This is one of the latest additions to the stylish Xperia range, which recently dropped the Ericsson branding, making the handsets exclusively Sony releases. I will focus on some of the most commonly looked at features when purchasing a new smartphone, so you can decide if it is the right handset for you.

Camera

When choosing a new smartphone, many people look at the pixel count on the camera as one of the most important features. The Sony Xperia U is by no means the most advanced camera phone out there, but if you only use the camera occasionally to take spontaneous snapshots and videos when out with friends and family, it is likely to suffice. At 5 megapixels, the still images are not groundbreaking in their quality, but likely to please the majority of users. A number of features are included to ease the process of taking quality photos, such as an LD flash, face & smile detection, image stabilisation as well as some more advanced features like 3D panoramic capture. The camera on the Sony Xperia U can capture video also, in resolution settings of up to 720p, which is classed as high definition.

Aesthetics

The design of the Sony Xperia U is almost exactly the same as the rest of the Xperia range, which are widely regarded as some of the best looking handsets currently available. The stylish is elegant and modern, and likely to appeal to the vast majority of users. The handset is finished in a black colour scheme aside from a small portion at the bottom of the phone. This is interchangeable with different colours, with white, black, pink and yellow options to choose from. This gives fashion conscious users the chance to customise their phone and make it stand out from the crowd. If you also view your phone as a fashion statement as many people no nowadays, the Sony Xperia U is an ideal choice.

Screen

The quality of a touchscreen can make or break the overall user experience of a smartphone. The Sony Xperia U has a great touchscreen in the form of a 3.5 inch LED backlit LCD capacitive touchscreen. Although not the most advanced touchscreen out there, it is really impressive considering that the handset is essentially the budget offering of the Xperia range. With a resolution of 480x 854, it can handle many multimedia applications, offering high display quality for photos, videos and games, while remaining responsive to the touch, and providing great levels of brightness and wide viewing angles.

Overall, I think the Sony Xperia U us an impressive device. Its spec list is a far cry from stablemate the Xperia S which is the ranges flagship smartphone, but for what is essentially the ranges budget offering, you cant go wrong. It is stylish, has a good screen and a capable camera. These are among the most important features for many people when choosing a new smartphone so I would not hesitate to recommend it.
