Oriented multimedia and social networks, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Reviews has the attributes to meet such expectations. But he is penalized by a little responsive screen and an outdated version of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Google’s Android operating system.
Check availability of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 X8 at SFR
Located in the Sony Ericsson range just below the Xperia X 10, Xperia X8 is a smartphone to a rather young clientele. It is indeed more oriented multimedia and entertainment than productivity. This is why it happens physical keyboard to display a LCD capacitive 3 inch screen with a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels. However, it retains a few buttons on the front and on the right slice.
Android 1.6 and low reactive screen
A use, one quickly finds that the screen (and no doubt with him the couple processor Qualcomm MSM7227 600 MHz/Android 1.6 exceeded) lack of reactivity: it often takes a long time, support or even several times, to launch an application or validate a choice. Fortunately this problem is not feel because otherwise write any message on the virtual keyboard would cross speeds.
Finally on this bad point is ergonomics, it regrets that a “close” or “Cancel” button is not permanently available, this would facilitate navigation. Similarly, with mix between Android and the wrapper House of Sony Ericsson, it has offices each containing a multitude of icons of applications and offices offering only a single widget. It’s too much in one case, and too little in the other. Fortunately, everything is customizable, including the four main icons that appear at each corner of the screen.
A smartphone to listen to and connect
Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Android touchscreen phone being oriented to social networks, we appreciate the integration of sites such as Facebook and Flickr at several levels as for sharing photos, or in the summary of the applications. Function Timescape, which brings together all notifications and presents a little like Apple’s Coverflow, is a treat, and may in some cases, replace the use of a dedicated application. But this is not the Android Market is missing and the choice is wide to find as well as practical software games.
There are what fill the memory but good news, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 games comes with a 2 GB microSD card. Which allows to store also music to listen to the headphone or speaker. And in this player function, Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Specs is to make not too evil, even if sound sizzles a little and lowlands are slightly choked. But overall, it is satisfactory, so a special touch to find quickly to the content on the Internet in connection with the artist is listening. In fact, there with pleasure the leg and the expertise of Sony in the music player interface.
Video and browsing just correct
On the photos, the quality is average but in the standard for a sensor of 3.2 million pixels. It regrets especially the absence of flash, fairly inexcusable on a device of this generation and this level. The videos in 640 x 480 pixels at 30 frames per second they have a very honest quality. The failure comes from the weakness of the microphone.
Web browsing is penalized by the relatively small screen size and the lack of management of the multi-touch in Android 1.6. To zoom in or zoom, should therefore be simply a button + and a button. The default browser is not very advanced, better is worth download alternative software like Dolphin or Skyfire. For our test, we used the version 2 of Skyfire for Android, which proved to be fast and is, in fact, immediately shown essential. For playback of video on a website like YouTube, the passage of the portrait to landscape mode is automatic and instantaneous, it is significant. And not to penalize its 3 G package, can connect easily in Wi – Fi, management is facilitated by a pleasant interface.
In fact, as long as it is, let’s talk about the function first of this device, which is call. Lacks a facade for the visoconférence 3 G video sensor, but for the rest, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 price and specification is practical and complete. The quality of listening is correct even with a Bluetooth headset or headphones delivered. They are connected on a 3.5 mm jack socket and can therefore be replaced by another model, or even by a helmet for those who wish to enjoy to the best of its multimedia capabilities. For SMS and MMS, predictive seizure is effective but given the size of virtual keyboard keys (fairly reactive him again), it almost comes to regret the absence of pen, even if this is not quite fashionable.
In the end, it cannot be said that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Apps is a bad device, as its autonomy is remarkable, but we would really like to see what he could give a more recent version of Android. Appropriate however to a large majority of users knowing that it is found from 1 euro with a package or within 200 euros with a prepaid offer. Its dimensions also allow him to be placed in any pocket or purse, which can count the purchase.
