The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 : The Basics Explained

August 30, 2010

Ericsson have been making mobile phones for about as long as the industry has been around, but it wasn’t until the Sony-Ericsson brand was developed that they started to see real success in what has become an incredibly competitive market. Their partnership with the Japanese electronics company has developed a range of popular phones, for users who wanted a phone that was also a great camera and music player. But with the demand for smarter phones, how does the new Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 fair?

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10′s large 4 inch screen is one of the things that makes the phone stand out from the others on the market. The clear, bright display makes normal phone functions clear and easy to see, but you’ll appreciate it most when you’re browsing the internet, watching movies and taking pictures with the excellent camera.

Sony Ericsson have built a reputation on providing phones with great camera technology, and the Xperia X10 is no different. With 8 megapixels, the camera can be used to take photos as well as capture video. The LED flash and simple but effective settings interface mean that whatever it is you want to capture, the Xperia X10 will give you the kind of impressive results you won’t get from other mobiles, and even some digital cameras.

Sony Ericsson’s spin on the Google Android interface can be a bit of an acquired taste, but it is flexible enough to make sure that most users will be able to customize their phone to suit their own needs and personality. You won’t be lacking any of the other features most modern smartphones come with these days, as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has GPS, Wi-Fi, and as you’d expect, Sony Ericsson’s music interface is an excellent alternative to iTunes.

With a quality, minimalist look that you would expect to see from the high-end smartphones on the market, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 certainly looks the part. The buttons that are present on the face, top and side are big enough to be found easily, but not so large that they appear out of place. The shape of the phone has been enhanced to make it easier and more comfortable to hold, thanks to some recent research Sony Ericsson has carried out in an effort to make their handsets more ergonomic.

Sony Ericsson isn’t usually a name you associate with a top smartphone. But with one of the biggest displays on the market, the usual high-quality camera and music functions, and a wealth of other smartphone features, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 does give those looking for a new smartphone, something to think about.
