An overview of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8
The new Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 offers great Android smartphone functionality, but with a compact and modern design that really sets it apart from many other new models available.
The Xperia X8 offers a compact but high-quality screen that produces great image quality. The 320 x 480 pixel resolution may not attract attention, but since you are on a screen that measures only 3 inches, the results are excellent. The screen uses a capacitive touch panel to achieve a high level of response. Color-wise, the unit is capable of displaying up to 16 million, so whether you’re viewing websites or your own media, what you actually see looks vivid and vibrant. Design-wise, the phone undoubtedly looks good. A range of different color finishes are available, and the mostly plastic construction helps keep the weight down to an impressive 104g. The overall dimensions of the model are 99 x 54 x 15mm, which is as compact as you can ask for in a smartphone. There are a few physical buttons distributed around the chassis of the unit, including the volume rocker and the camera shutter button, as well as three chrome-finished buttons on the front that perform the Home, Back, and Menu functions. The usual set of connections is on the top of the chassis, including a 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro USB port.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 comes with only 128MB of internal storage, but it comes with a 2GB sd card to give you space to store various media files. The micro SD card slot accepts cards up to 16GB. The phone has a good quality camera that takes pictures with a resolution of 3.15 million pixels. The results are nice and the device also has useful geotagging facilities that allow you to store each snapshot with a geographic location. If you want to capture video, this can also be achieved thanks to VGA recording that is offered at a rate of 30 frames per second. The Xperia X8 can handle a wide selection of audio file formats including MP3, eAAC +, and WAV. Thanks to the aforementioned headphone jack, you can choose from a large selection of headphones to listen to your music. A 1200 mAh battery gives users a good 5 hours and 40 minutes of 3G talk time and 476 hours in standby mode.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 offers great smartphone functionality in a modern and compact chassis. It is the perfect phone for newcomers to the world of smartphones and will also have great appeal for the teenage market thanks to the vibrant range of colors available.
