Class is evident within the Sony Ericsson S312

When it comes to stylish mobile phones, Sony knows what it takes. Their comprehensive range of phones encompasses excellent design ethics. The Sony Ericsson S312 is another example of a well crafted phone, with a feature list that offers something for everyone. From its expressive display screen through to its connectivity, it provides a competent phone with a dash of panache.

A 2 mega pixel camera is built in to the Sony Ericsson S312 and is able to take effective snap shots if required. The camera operates at a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. To help in taking images the phone has at its disposal an LED flash. As an alternative to static images, video capture is also available and is always a useful addition to any handset.

The 2.0 inch TFT screen is expressive and opulent. It offers vivid colour representation due to the fact that it can display 256,000 colours. The inclusion of a scratch resistant surface means that images are shown in extraordinary colour and the screen is not dulled by scratches or blemishes.

Entertainment is provided by the addition of an integrated MP3/ MP4 player. With TrackID as standard the user is assured of knowing the details of any track being played. For those who prefer live broadcasts instead of downloaded music, the built in FM radio with RDS offers respite and alternative entertainment. The phone comes with an internal memory of 15 Mb, which is not the largest, but fortunately, this can be rectified by making use of the memory stick micro facility to increase the capacity up to 4 GB.

The phone comes with numerous connections, which include GPRS and EDGE, Blue tooth and USB. This ensures that the phone can be connected to multiple devices and conduct numerous tasks, whilst on the move.

The Sony S312 is a compact and useful mobile phone. It is 100 mm x 46 mm wide and 12 mm thick whilst only weighing 80 grams which makes it a lightweight phone. The handset is simple and effective to use and is comfortable to hold. It has already become a firm favourite with many and there is no reason to expect that it will not continue to be popular.
