The Sony Ericsson X10 Offers A Very High Specification Camera

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 was one of the first Sony Ericsson handsets to feature the increasingly popular Android Operating System. As well as this, an appealing spec list includes an 8MP camera, fast internet access and a generously proportioned 4 inch touch screen.

Alert types include vibration and ringing with the option to utilise MP3 files as ringtones, and even includes a composer so users can create their own custom ringtones from scratch, in order to alert to incoming messages and calls.

The TFT capacitive touch screen measures 4 inches and offers excellent display quality thanks to the ability to display up to 65,000 colours within 480x854 pixels. It is manufactured from scratch resistant materials protecting it from everyday wear and tear, and features an accelerometer sensor for auto rotate.

The built in digital camera boasts 8 mega pixels for stunning quality of still images. This operates at a pixel resolution of 3264x2448 and features autofocus and LED flash so the task of taking impressive photos is simplified. Additional features of this camera include touch focus, image stabilization, geo-tagging and smile recognition. Video can be shot in WVGA quality at 30 fps.

A versatile media player supports many different file formats of both video and music files so the handset effectively doubles up as an impressive portable media player. Applications offering direct access to sites such as Google and YouTube keep users connected and up to date.

In order to connect to the internet, the Xperia X10 relies primarily on 3G coverage, where a HSDPA connection is available at speeds of 7.2 Megabytes per second, along with HSUPA at 2Mbps. Wi-Fi connectivity kicks in whenever a signal from a wireless internet router is detected, offering the means to attain a faster connection for an enhanced browsing experience. Connection to cellular networks is provided courtesy of both EDGE and GPRS, both of which are present in Class 10 versions.

The Xperia X10 features an internal phonebook which can store a vast number of entries and fields. This also features the popular Photocall feature which allows users to assign a photo to a contact in the phonebook, and every time this person is in contact the photo is displayed on the screen. For storage of data such as music tracks and video clips, 1 GB of internal storage is provided, as well as an 8 GB memory car in the micro SD slot. If more storage is required, this can be upgraded to a memory card of up to 16 GB.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is certainly an attractive handset, measuring 119x63x13mm and weighing 135 grams. Its slim line profile makes it a pleasure to use on the go, especially given its large touch screen for ease of use.

Thanks to its impressive list of specifications and sophisticated styling, it is easy to see the appeal of this phone, especially since it has embraced the Android Operating System.
