Vivaz Articles

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz knows what it is, and doesn’t try to be anything more. A touch screen smartphone running the Symbian(Series 60) operating system, it’s already in dangerous waters. Both Sony Ericsson and Symbian are thought of as unreliable, as a mobile phone manufacturer and an operating system, so the combination makes the idea of the Vivaz doubly ominous. However, the phone itself isn’t too much of a disappointment and partially redeems itself in its most amazing feature.

It is the camera features on the Vivaz that save it from being just an average unreliable model. It records in HD video, super sharp at 720p resolution. The video recordings include continuous auto focus with an additional light and image stabiliser. This is extremely impressive capacity for a mobile phone, and you can then upload your videos straight to YouTube to show them off. The Vivaz also boasts video calling, certain to become quite in demand over the next couple of years. The still camera on the phone is equally impressive boasting a massive 8.1 megapixel resolution. It also includes face and smile detection, auto-focus, an LED flash and geo-tagging due to the phone’s built in GPS.

It seams this year will be a crowded one for Sony Ericsson because they announced a lot of mobile phones and some of them will be available soon(Q1 of 2010).
We will take them in order and try to write a brief for you.
XPERIA X10, a model we previewed long time ago and whom will be available soon in stores, has 2 little brothers now called: XPERIA X10 Mini and XPERIA X10 Mini Pro. The two little models have same internal characteristics, but contain small design differences, with the pro model being a QWERTY version of the mini version.

The camera has 5 megapixel, autofocus, LED flash and Geo-tagging, the processor is a Qualcomm MSM7227 having 600MHz. Both phones come with Android 1.6 as running operating system and .

It’s hard to notice, but Mini Pro version is 0.7 cm longer, 0.2 cm thinner than Mini one and the QWERTY keyboard doesn’t make the phone look too big. Gps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Radio FM, Wisepilot turn by turn or Timescape application are some of the features you’ll discover if you plan to buy one of this two phones.

Next models: Vivaz and Vivaz Pro.
