Review : Sony Ericsson W8

Sony ericsson w8 phone review
Packed in the slick combination between Android and music features, make the phone seem special. Well, Sony Ericsson summarized it in an equivalent combination. As the first Android phone to music, let alone offer phones that are quite affordable price?

Design
Candybar, glossy plastic, hotswap
Like most forms of android mobile phones, W8 present at a fairly simple form. At first glance no different from the Xperia X8 lawasnya products. Pinned on a few buttons in the form of a typical tapered lines, making the phone look dynamic. Attend a micro USB port, universal audio jack, camera switches, and the ranks of navigation: menu, home screen, and back. Not to forget, because this special series, there is the word 'Walkman' phones in order to reinforce functional. But why yes, we did not find a dedicated button to access the walkman feature?

Screen & Menu
TFT capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors (320 x 480 pixels), 3.0 inches, Accelerometer sensor, Timescape UI, Walkman
Although closely as X8, but this series is to immerse the optimal color depth. Also present range of interfaces typical android phones Sony Ericsson, coupled with access to a walkman. The goal is to facilitate you to enjoy features such Mainstay. Log into the realm of the menu, present a typical interface. By pressing a little longer, then you can move or remove the desired application.

OS
Android Eclair
Equipped with CPU 600 MHz ARM 11 processor, as well as Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset, W8 platform is still in the lower level class android. But Sony Ericsson is promising to prepare for upgrading to a better version. As a brand-new product, it is quite unfortunate because this version does not support the wealth of connections.

Camera
3.15 MP, 2048 x 1536 pixels, Geo-tagging, Video, VGA @ 30fps
Berbanderol low impact on the limitations of the camera as well as features backers. But to simply 'jeprat-snap' is allowed. That is, you do not rely on this sector to an interest of the photos and videos with good results.

Cameras are only measuring those standards do not seem reliable for indor photo needs, aka the room. In addition to producing images with the dominance of blur / soft, you need enough light to get the maximum results, not only by the lights. Another case when you use for a photo session outdor. The results are pretty good with a fitting contrast tinggat. Also of course in the light conditions are adequate.

Audio & Video
Walkman player, MP4/3GP/WMV player, MP3/eAAC + / WMA / WAV player, TrackID
Realm is the value plus this phone. In addition to complete in presenting features, the phone is equipped by the sound system is quite okay. Well when listened to via earphones or multimedia speakers. Special walkman, besides being able to enjoy the chant music, you also can access the video via youtube clip of the song by touching the button invinity (number 8 reversed). Teruntuk video player, you can play only a standard playlist format. Radio and voice recording can be in leading others to you who like 'karaoke'.

Internet & Connectivity
HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 2 Mbps, Wi-Fi, Hotswap micro SD (up to 16 GB)
This phone is pretty convenient when you do an internet browser. Aside from being able to do multitab, you too can share a page or a text selection. But unfortunately the multi-touch and you can enjoy flash yet. In addition to Bluetooth and data cable, you can maximize hotswapnya micro SD slot that can accommodate up to 16 GB.

Features
Time Scape, Youtube
Although it runs on base eclair, W8 injected some excellent features. Timescape for example, as one of the distinctive features of Sony Ericsson Android phone, you can easily view the notification in the form of status updates from your facebook friends, folowwer twitter, SMS and MMS. Formation was fairly easy to access your fingers, you just sweep it towards the top or bottom.

One other feature that is not less superior is youtube. W8 cuklup arguably faster to access youtube with buffering in a fairly stable. Of course it's also thanks to the funnel-class connections that it provides.

Conclusion
As products are targeting the middle segment, W8 seems quite able to be a wise choice considering the price is competitive. But as a music phone, W8 seems less than optimal to accommodate the needs of music, for example the lack of equalizer options. However, with a bandage style casing with a 'dual tone' phone is quite describe the dynamic character of its users. As the first android phone bury Anyar music features, you already have a device that has a value-added more than enough.
