Sony Ericsson, the cell phone manufacturer with a reputation for their strong emphasis on music, is a big player in the competitive market for smartphones. In 2008, Sony Ericsson successfully penetrated the smartphone market with the release of the Xperia X1. To date, 7 models on this line have been created based on various platforms and the popularity of these smartphones has been picking up with each release. Now, let us take a look at some of the recent 'Xperia' options available.
Xperia X10 - The X10 is one of the first handsets to boast a magnificent 4-inch capacitive touchscreen. Sony Ericsson had dedicated a huge budget to advertise its flagship multimedia phone and the beautiful social networking interface. A strong combination of capabilities and elegance propelled the X10's success, as it became one of the most desired smartphones around. The X10 runs on the Android 2.1 OS and has extensive integration with Facebook and Twitter (Timescape). It sources for updates on your social networks and displays them in an appealing 3D interface on the large touchscreen. The phone comes with a 1 Ghz Snapdragon processor and a high quality 8 MP camera that features HD video recording (720p). If you enjoy multimedia and staying active on your social networks, this phone is made for you.
Xperia X10 Mini / Mini Pro - The names of the X10 Mini and Mini Pro should give you a good idea of their similarity to the Xperia X10. Aside from an additional slide out keyboard and removable battery, the X10 Mini and the X10 Mini Pro are otherwise two very similar cell phones. Both the X10 Mini and Mini Pro smartphones have a 600 Mhz processor that operates Android 2.1 OS. They both have a 2.55 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors. The compact smartphones come with a 5 MP camera and the Timescape UI that is identical to the Xperia 10. That means you will be able to enjoy social network integration on the same appealing 3D interface. One of the downsides of a smaller touchscreen is the virtual keyboard. The small keys create opportunity for loads of frustrating typing mistakes. Hence, users who often draft emails or modify documents on the go are recommended to get the X10 Mini Pro - it comes with a slide out physical keyboard.
Xperia X8 - The Sony Xperia X8 is an affordable smartphone that initially shipped with Android 1.6 OS. However, the OS is upgradeable to the newer Android 2.1 OS, which offers significant improvements. As for aesthetics, this phone looks like a smaller twin brother of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. The Sony Xperia X8 is an affordable alternative to the costly large screen smartphones. The 3.0 Inch capacitive touchscreen compliments the Xperia interface perfectly. Although the Xperia X8 does not come with state-of-the-art hardware, it offers great value for money.
To summarize, if you want a great smartphone, look no further than the Sony Ericsson Xperia range!
