Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray ST18i Review

Posted on by

Sony Ericsson has released a number of phones into the range that the Xperia Ray belongs to, the most notable ones being Xperia Pro, Xperia Active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman. While the budget category of the phones may be similar, they vary vastly in their features. While the Walkman is directed at the music buff in you, the Xperia Go, which by the way, is a solo venture by Sony, is made for rough and tough use. The Xperia Ray is a looker, and comes with some great features. Let’s have a look at all its features.

Design:

Xperia Ray is very thoughtfully crafted. The size is almost perfect, which means its neither too large where your finger can’t reach some parts, and neither is it too small which slips out of your hand. The screen is 3.3 inches, and has two touch buttons below it, accompanied by a semi-circular home button, which doubles up as a lock key. On the left of the phone, you have the volume rocker. On the right is the microUSB port and the top houses the power button and the 3.5mm headphone jack. This system, we believe, is the most convenient. A camera button would have helped, though.

Build Quality:

The front part is aluminium and back cover is plastic with a slight rubber coating, which is good for grip and touch. Its 9.4 mm thick, hence slips very comfortably into your pocket, and very light at 100g. We wouldn’t call this the sturdiest of phones, but its average and would fare like the other phones. It has a scratch resistant display, so you can be assured.

Performance:

The Xperia Ray comes loaded with Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS and has a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 512 MB of RAM to take care of smooth and effective navigation. The Timescape UI is very convenient and is a joy to use. The 3.3 inches of screen with 854×480 pixels does a good job, and it’s bright and crisp with good viewing angles. The Sony comes with its own Bravia engine, which enhances display, so the contrast and picture quality is enhanced, so HD videos play really well. You also get an 8 MP camera with LED flash, and the image quality is impressive. It also has a 0.3 MP front facing video camera which enables video chatting as well. It has 300 MB of available internal memory, and you can always expand it by adding external memory through microSD cards. It also comes with screen capture, which is an interesting addition. Also, you can share or like your favourite songs from the music player itself. The battery is 1500 mAh and gives a standard of 6 hours of talktime and very decent standby time.

Conclusion:

At around Rs. 16500, this phone is a very sweet deal. It is equipped with superb looks and design, and good hardware on which the Android and Timescape UI run very well. It shows better performance than expected on this hardware. This is one very pretty phone, which packs in quite some punch as well.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Active ST17i Review

Posted on by

When it comes to the Xperia series, Sony Ericsson has seldom disappointed. What’s more, Sony Ericsson has always ensured that the Xperia series has something for everyone. A look at the specs makes us believe that this particular phone is much like the Xperia series, it has something for everyone! Sony Ericsson’s latest offering the Xperia Active ST17i looks interesting on first sight. Let’f find out if it actually is interesting.

Design:

The phone looks really interesting, with a small loop at the bottom and some interesting colours. Most of the rugged phones we’ve reviewed are rather simple, but this one is stylish. What you make of the design really depends on you, but we found it to be a fresh new change. It has a 3 inch screen with three touch buttons beneath. It has a whitish brushed metal surrounding the screen and a narrow band of orange behind that which houses the side buttons. The back is black. The volume rocker and camera button are on the right hand side, and the power button on the left. On the bottom, rather strangely, you have the 3.5mm headphone jack and the microUSB port, sealed by flaps for water resistance.

Build Quality:

Build Quality of the Sony Ericsson Active is certainly rugged. It is IP67 certified. If you don’t know what that means, it is water resistant upto 1 metre and is dust resistant as well. IP67 is a standard of endurance. The touchscreen is scratch resistant too. So you can get away with some rough and tough use. Next time you’re out in the rain and your phone rings, you can pick up the phone without second thought. Whats more, it supports wet finger tracking as well! At 16.5mm thickness, it is certainly a bit thick, but you will have to compromise on that because it gives you so much sturdiness. The weight isn’t much at 110g. The back cover is curved and rubberized which is soft and comfortable in the hand. You have a secondary back cover to ensure protection from water and dust.

Performance:

The phone comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, and the Timescape UI, so it is pretty convenient and fun. The processor is a 1 Ghz Qualcomm Scorpion one and has a 512 MB RAM to support it. This ensures that you can handle your tasks easily and without any lag. It can handle low to medium usage pretty well, but you might get the occasional lag on a high end game or webpage. The 3 inch screen has a low resolution at 320 x 480p , but the Sony Bravia Engine makes up to a certain extent. You have a certain number of health apps preloaded with helps you keep fit. Sony has gone with its 4-corners icons approach on the homescreen, which ensures everything is at your fingertips. It has a 5 MP primary camera with LED flash, unfortunately but no front facing camera. The photographs taken are standard when it comes to quality and crispness. It comes with a Li-Ion 1200 mAh battery which is on the lower side and gives you around 4 hours of talktime.

Conclusion:

It is a rugged phone with a certain amount of coolness that is usually missing from rugged phones. While whether you like the design or not is entirely dependent on you, you’d agree it’s a welcome break from the serious designs that most other rugged phones have. It gives you good protection and a decent performance. So, if you’re looking for a rough and tough phone with good design and performance, be sure to check this out.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Review

Posted on by

Samsung’s Galaxy Series has given us, arguably, Samsung’s best mobile phone products. Samsung Galaxy S was one of the best smartphones, if not the best, in its time. The Galaxy S2 carries a huge amount of expectations on its shoulder, being the successor to the Galaxy S, and it claims it can be the best smartphone in the market as well. And on paper, it’s got enough to be the best. But how does all that translate in practical experience? We’ll find out shortly.

Design:

Anybody picking up the phone for the first time would wonder at how slim and light it is. Considering they’ve packed in some solid hardware into this phone, it is a rare feat. At 8.49mm it is one of the slimmest phones we’ve seen beating competition from the best of the best. It would easily slip into your pocket, no matter how tight it is. It has one physical button and two touch buttons below its screen. The volume rocker is on the left hand side, with the power key on the right. The 3.5mm headphone jack and the microUSB port are on the top, which is perhaps the same for all Galaxy phones, and is really convenient.

Build Quality:

It has a 4.3 inch screen and the design is rectangular, but has some intelligent curves. The rear has a good textured finish and is great to hold, considering its only 116g, which is feather light for what the hardware packs. Samsung has made a slight compromise of the quality of the plastic, in terms of thickness and sturdiness to give the phone a lower weight and the back cover feels like it could break.

Performance:

The Galaxy S2 runs with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but subsequent updates have been released for it to upgrade to 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The phone runs on a 1.2 Ghz ARM Cortex Dual processor and 1 GB of RAM which gives it quite a punch. This is also loaded with the new 4.0 Touchwiz UI, that makes a number of aesthetic changes for sake of convenience. The touch sensitivity is crisp and superb, as is the case with Samsung’s other Galaxy phones as well. One of the striking features of the Galaxy S2 is its 4.3 inch screen with 800×480 resolution with Super AMOLED Plus, which gives you some exceptional viewing experience. The quality, crispness and brightness are all brilliant and so are the viewing angles. It has an 8 MP back camera with LED flash that gives brilliant pictures, even in low light. It also enables video shooting of up to 1080p. It also comes with a front facing video camera of 2 MP which beats all competition in that segment. Along with these, you get all the wonderful music and office apps that Samsung brings. The 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery is quite decent and would last you the day, and quite frankly, you don’t really expect much more from Androids. It also gives internal storage of 16 GB which is great.

Conclusion:

The Galaxy S2 looks destined to follow the footsteps of its predecessor and become one of the most successful smartphones of its time, thanks to the brilliant hardware, screen, interface and the engineering feat of incorporating that into just 8.49mm thickness(we still can’t believe it) of a phone. If you’re looking for a premium phone, this is one of the best you’ll find in the market.

Posted on by

There aren’t many projector phones which are currently very good. Samsung was the first one to launch projector based phone in the year 2010. Continuing this tend Samsung launched another projector phone known as the Samsung Galaxy Beam. The only difference from its predecessor is that it s based on Android operating System. It can easily beam your images, videos and other contents up to 50 inches with the help of inbuilt 15 lumens projector. This handset was announced in the Mobile World Congress along with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. The price and date of launch is still undecided. It is not a complete review but a hands-on on Samsung Galaxy Beam.

Design:

The design of the Samsung Galaxy Beam is little bit different from the other phone because the design compensates the space for projector. The lumens projector is available on the top which doesn’t spoil the rim design of the phone. Since the projector makes use of the top edge, the camera is placed below than many other phones.  It weighs around 146g and the colors used are distinctive and very attractive in nature. Holding the phone in your hands is very comfortable.

Features:

Powered with 1GHz dual-core processor and 768MB of RAM, the speed of the interface is smooth and zippy. It uses obsolete Android Gingerbread 2.3 which can be very annoying because Ice Cream Sandwich is available now. Samsung provides user with some of the most terrific hardware the unavailability of the latest Android operating system is a big let down. All the other aspects such as the home screens, Notifications and many widgets are similar to any other Android set. Some terrific changes wee made to the operating system but this phone will not get those updates. The call quality is good but there were some problems when the reception was not good, but overall the quality was maintained by this phone. The capacitive screen size is 4.0 inches which gives 800 X 400 pixels resolution.

For connectivity GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 2.0 is provided. Surfing the internet is very fast while using the Dolphin browser or any other downloaded browser. Dolphin is the default browser and will fulfill every browsing need but if you still want other options there are lots of browser on the Google Market. On the back panel you will find 5MP camera which is very less in this competitive market as under the same price range 8MP camera is provided. The camera is not that bad and provision for scenic modes and other functionalities gives you a lot more power to capture great images on the go.

Coming to the main feature of this phone which is projector is very good. After selecting the respective file, turn-on the projector from the interface and project it on the canvas preferably black. The size of the display can be modified up to 50mm only. There aren’t many options to modify the settings of the projector but you can obviously adjust it.

Battery:

Samsung Galaxy Beam uses 2000mAh battery which can survive for 8 long hours while using 3G. The battery life will be affected while using the projector but the strength of the battery is good.

Posted on by

As a buyer of a Smartphone you will be easily confused by the various ranges of phones which are available in the market. Android is the one operating system where many manufacturers are competing for the top spot and Sony is one of them. After parting ways with Ericsson, Sony has come up with some astonishing phones. One of the phones is the Sony Xperia S which is not only fast but also has a large screen and to top it off it is very sleek. It is up to you to decide that Sony Xperia S is good alternative for Samsung Galaxy Nexus and LG Optimus 4X HD. The complete review of the Sony Xperia S is given below.

Design:

Even with the 4.3 inch, Sony Xperia S feels good in the hands. Square edges may be a problem but the design is completely new among other Android phones. Behind the flap you can find a physical camera button, volume rocker and a HDMI port. Overall Sony Xperia S looks very good but you may face some problem while holding it. There are no such issues while using the fingers to use the home screens.

Display:

Sony Xperia S boats 4.3 inch which uses the Bravia technology. Images, videos and texts are bright and very colorful. Sony has done tremendous work on the screen and it shows on the display. If you want to compare it with the iPhone 4S then it will not satisfy you but this phone is one of the best OLED screens available. The screen gives 1280×720 pixels resolution which doesn’t match the Samsung Galaxy 2 AMOLED screen or iPhone Retina display.

Performance:

Powered with 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor with 1GB of RAM gives this phone a smooth and zippy feel. Opening up webpage, playing games and watching HD videos doesn’t slow down the phone. Unfortunately this phone uses the Android Gingerbread operating system which is quit obsolete in this market but it is expected to get Ice Cream Sandwich update soon.

Camera:

Sony Xperia S has the capability to capture 12MP images and 1080p videos. If you see it on the HDTV the output is also very good as sharpness, clarity and brightness is maintained very well. Every small details has captured by this phone which is just great. Even Samsung Galaxy S 2 will not be able to compete with it. Dedicated button to take images and videos also makes the job very easy for users. Functions such as the 3D panoramas give you some additional capabilities.

Battery:

The battery life of this phone is good and you need to charge it once in a day. The battery is sealed and you cannot remove it and the same method is used for the inbuilt memory. There is no provision for any extra SD card but it is expected that the 32GB is enough for any users.

Conclusion:

Sony Xperia S is a very nice phone and is priced at £430. It is one of the best Android set and it is recommended to look at it before purchasing another Android handset.

Blackberry Bold 9900 Review

Posted on by

While the various mobile phone makers battle it out for superiority in the smartphone market, each claiming its own Android powered device is better than all competition, the Blackberry stands on a different footing. It has a different OS and features, and exudes class. Blackberry loyalists wouldn’t touch any other phone than a Blackberry and sometimes you wonder. Blackberry does have an impressive legacy of phones. Tonight we’ll be reviewing the all new Blackberry Bold 9900, and lets see what it has in store for us.

Design and Hardware:

When you look at the design and hardware, it is probably one of the finest we’ve ever seen. The front is all black, and looks classy. There is a metal bezel around the front and the back is soft touch, textured with carbon fibre, making it wonderful to hold. This is one premium phone, make no mistake about it. Whether in terms of design or hardware quality, it has stuff you can be proud of. On the right you have the volume rocker and the camera buttons, embedded beautifully into the silver bezel. The left houses the microUSB and audio jack. The phone is slick in the true sense, and at 10.5mm it is very slim. The differentiating factor about Blackberrys has been their QWERTY keypad, and many people remain loyal to their QWERTY keypads rather than opting for the touch ones, and not without reason. The QWERTY keypads that Blackberry produces are up there amongst the best, and this one certainly is one of the finest we’ve seen. It’s a little bit wider than the previous models, backlit, and is superb to touch and to type. The phone houses a 2.8 inch touchscreen.

Performance:

It is the first phone to come loaded with Blackberry 7 OS. It has a 1.2 Ghz processor, and along with that the RAM is of 768 MB. The touchscreen is 2.8 inches, and this is where it has never been able to match the Android phones, mainly because it has to house the QWERTY keypad as well. The display is pretty good though, at 640 x 480 pixels and great viewing angles. The new Blackberry 7 OS has liquid graphics as an update, along with a host of other ones. Liquid graphics makes the display and transitions much better and smooth. We’ve always loved the trackpad that Blackberry provides and with the new OS its even more fun, due to the host of new features that it provides to navigate through. For example, the web browsing is much more improved. You also get a search bar on the homescreen itself which makes searching for in-phone and online stuff easier. It has a 5 MP camera with LED flash and the photographs taken are decent. Battery life is also pretty decent, with it likely to last a day and a half with moderate usage.

Conclusion:

The Blackberry has a class of its own. Although multimedia isn’t its forte, its super for business and pretty much any type of communication. Your email is just a touch away and so is your Blackberry Messenger, which is RIM’s innovation. You have a great QWERTY keypad which helps with the communication as well. This particular phone has superb hardware and looks. The hardware ensures a powerful performance in supporting its wonderful new Blackberry 7 OS. Priced at around Rs. 33000, you could argue its a bit too much though, especially considering the amount of superb Android phones you can get at that price. But Blackberry has a charm of its own. Ask anybody who owns a Blackberry, he’ll tell you.

Veterans Remain Consistent with Nokia N8

Posted on by

N Series has been the flagship of Nokia which has created a sudden impact on the forefront. Arising as the newest inclusion, N8 has been the salvation bearer for this flagship. This is due to the long time taken before bringing it out in the market. Making the Symbian Foundation in the Nokia breed, N8 is far better than the latest releases in today’s market. Dating back to April 2010, it had arrived in a future hold package. OLED screen was introduced as the newly asset of display functioning of this mobile. Display was not the only enhanced part but 12MP camera along with Xenon Flash brought the amazing special effect at that time only. Today, the general mid-range smartphones have 5MP or 8MP to the max but Nokia N8 brought the big fish in the market at that time only. Big screen display for HDTV viewing was also kept in mind. This is why the phone comes with one HDMI connector and another Mini HDMI connector. Along with that, two USB connectors are also present for hassle free transferring of data. Finally, the box of N8 engages a set of headphones and a power charger to complete the whole package.

Nokia N8 brought a new revolution in the mobile world at that time. Not only the design but the material used to build this mobile has also enhanced the mobile manufacturing in a good way. Anodized aluminum body can be seen covering Nokia N8 which gives a special feel when you hold it in your hand. The cold vibe can be felt when you pick it up in your hand, especially in winters, and lightweight factor also works as a definitive advantage for Nokia N8. Areas which are left off from the aluminum anodized covering are the top and bottom end. This part features the charging port along with power button and other ports. Glossy plastic strip covers the top and bottom region which is not that bad. The best thing about N8 is that it brought the future technology of display at that time. Speculations were made regarding its built but after its release the critics were dropping their jaw and gave it 5 out of 5 stars.

Talking about the various apps that supported Nokia N8, there were some very famous apps that were specially introduced for N8. HD Player was one among them which was an overall multimedia player. The high definition viewing enhanced the GUI and N8 already had a good display foreground. Keeping the agility of crisp and stunning display, the apps of Nokia N8 were designed. NQ Anti-Virus App was recently launched during that time and had a good support for Nokia N8 too.

Overall, the presence of N Series Flagship is still there in market and Nokia N8 was one of those impacts which happen rarely in the world of mobile.
