Few days ago, Sony Ericsson announced a new mobile phone model. It’s called Aino and it’s a slide one model.
Aino model seems big in the left picture but I got to say it has the following dimensions 104 x 50 and 15.5 m thickness and weights 134 grams.
The display is an TFT capacitive touchscreen one having 16M colors and it has a size of 240 x 432 pixels. The display have accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate and a few touchscreen options.
Sony enhanced on this model an 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash and having a lot of interesting features such as: Touch focus, geo-tagging, face detection, image stabilizer, smart contrast, red-eye reduction, videocalling. Videos are shot @30 fps.
Storing the media files is not a problem, as the phone comes with an 8GB microSD card and only 55Mb internal memory.
Now let’s talk abut connectivity options Sony Ericsson Aino offer. It comes with GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, Usb 2.0 port and Gps receiver.
The gadget includes various Java applications such as: Remote play for Playstation 3, Media player, Google Maps, Picture editor/blogging, YouTube & Facebook, Organizer, Voice memo, SensMe. Also the phone has Stereo FM radio with RDS. The web can be easily be browsed using NetFront 3.5 mobile browser which operates only in fullscreen mode and supports Flash .
The battery, a Li-Po 1000 mAh one can last 380h in stand by mode, 13h in talk time and 31h in music mode.
We don’t know the price of the phone, but is expected to hit our stores at the end of 2009.
