When manufacturers compete in Western and Asian creativity to design elegant and original designs, there is a little disappointed with the look “old school” of the last W995. Certainly, the use of quality materials (plastic, metal frame) makes it unusual strength on a mobile. However, the proliferation of buttons on the front or on the edges are not the best taste.
However, the Sony Ericsson W995 does not blush against the best LG, Samsung and Nokia. Not only its 2.6 inch screen with resolution of 240 x 320 pixels is very nice but the camera is also one of the best ever encountered on a mobile phone. Peaking at 8.1 megapixel resolution, the sensor with auto focus delivers high quality pictures in most situations. In video (QVGA 30fps), same conclusion. Equipped with a radio chip 3G / HSDPA / HSUPA and Wi-Fi, streaming video playback (via YouTube) or updating blogs (Blogger), websites (MySpace, or Picasa web album) is very simple .
Talented to the image as a Cyber-shot, it remains less efficient in music as a Walkman. With speakers located on both ends, it delivers a sound of unusual accuracy, even at high volume. Hiding at the top a 3.5 mm, it becomes a real MP3 player (FM radio and RDS) using the M2 8GB Memory Stick card and provided specific buttons on the right flank.
The quality of reception is also featured on the W995. If it works on a proprietary operating system, it also offers useful features for navigation and location with A-GPS. With Google Maps or Wayfinder Navigator (operational for 3 months free). Images can also be labeled with details of their location shooting.
For fans of photos, videos and music, seeking a talented mobile multimedia, not encumbered with a sometimes complex smartphone, the W995 is an ideal device.
Plus : Excellent quality audio and video, face detection with the camera, beautiful screen, metal frame, updated from the mobile site.
