This declination “professional” or “productivity” of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro Android touchscreen phone is distinguished by its full keyboard makes text entry. For the rest, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro is a multimedia smartphone without surprise.
As its name indicates, the Xperia X10 mini pro is the “professional” counterpart of the Xperia X10 mini, himself being a smaller version of the Xperia X10. Like its congeners, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro games is now animated of the operating system Android version 2.1, what has not yet law Xperia X8.
Above all, to differentiate and to justify his side “pro”, it incorporates under its hull a physical keyboard, which appears when sliding the screen on the side. What to ensure productivity of its use, its reduced dimensions and other characteristics the electing to devote to multimedia for the side.
Design
For a smartphone, Xperia X10 mini pro has really reduced dimensions. With 9 inches of height to 5 centimetres wide, Sony Ericsson does not in the liliputien but almost. And if he “peaks” 1.7 centimeter in thickness, it is because of his sliding keyboard. Otherwise, it would simply 1.6 inch as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro Specs. At the time, it is very convenient to place it in a pocket or purse, even if its weight of 120 grams is slightly feel. It would almost be a notch too small to hold well in hand.
But it is especially its screen that suffers of this small size because it measures only 2.6 inches (6.6 cm) diagonal, and its definition is limited to 240 x 320 pixels. Another disadvantage, this capacitive screen is certainly touch and rather reactive, but not multi-touch. A default that is pas felt for navigation menus, which is very easily. We appreciate the choice to call to top offices filled with icons or to the left widgets of the overlay software installed by Sony Ericsson.
They figure the now famous Timescape allows you to display the last notifications received, whether SMS or Facebook or Twitter friends status updates. Handy also, the “Four corners” interface that displays a (customizable) icon to each corner of the screen. It allows to quickly show the telephone keyboard or music player for example. However, the passage from portrait to landscape is not always very quick if not always automatic step, for example with the Facebook application.
Full multimedia use
In fact, the small size of the screen is cruelly felt once it comes to browsing the Internet, even using a browser that is installed by default. A problem much more shouting than without multi-touch, it barely zoom. Is this just two buttons + Zoom and Zoom – or tap twice quickly on the screen. Then of course, the pages are well scaled and vertical scrolling is fluid, but do not have big fingers to click on the correct link or the good icon.
For other multimedia uses, on the other hand no problem, if the definition a little limited screen for video. Its brightness allows them to view great images, including those taken with the built-in photo sensor. With a size of 5 million pixels and accompanied by a flash, he recorded shots net and rather respectful colors, even if a better sensitivity would prevent the appearance of noise when the brightness is a little too low.
The use of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro Android touchscreen phone as a player, it is facilitated by Sony expertise at the interface of reading and the sound quality level. But our copy of test was delivered without headphones, we could not gauge the quality of them. A point of view intrinsic however, this smartphone produced a sound worthy of a small player.
The advantage of the physical keyboard
As a phone, there is not much to report, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro price and specification is in the standard both in terms of quality of listening to hook network. Let us not forget “professional” use with in the first place, the receipt and email writing. This is not the choice that lack with for example the Gmail application integrated by default, but also compatibility with Microsoft Exchange Active Sync. Of course, large most comes from the Azerty keyboard, easy enough to use even if there are no fingers of child. But given its length, this physical keyboard may be complete.
i, in addition to the shift, a function key allows, as on a laptop computer, type numbers, symbols or punctuation instead of letters, a key symbols worksheet called it on-screen virtual keyboard providing access to special characters and smileys. We must therefore sometimes combine virtual keyboard and real keyboard to enter his message.
The autonomy it is correct but without more. It affects almost four hours in Active mode and Wi – Fi turned on (navigation for example) but do not expect to stay more than 24 hours without reload Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro reviews.
