Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, Great Connectivity, Multimedia stalled

Sony Ericsson still has not been satisfied to compete with its competitors in the segment of touch screen phones. This time it is still a hero of the Xperia family. After X10 and X10 Mini scrolling, the bluff through the Xperia X8 vendors. In some ways, a new series based on Android 1.6 is as well positioned in between the X10 and X10 Mini.

Design & Display
Display Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 with model number E15i still smell 'Xperia'. Advance candybar form, the X8 has a body not much different from the X10 Mini. It's just that this phone has a larger dimension, but not exceed the dimensions of belonging bongsor Xperia X10.

In hand, this phone feels a bit thick though lighter weight impressed. This is because the material which casing is made of plastic material. Front body has a hard and solid texture. Unfortunately, the rear casing components made ​​of plastic that seemed cheap. Apart from that, X8 look quite elegant.

Like most touch screen phones, minimalist look of the front body. There is only the big screen with three physical buttons with Xperia typical pattern stands out in the bottom of the X8. That is the menu button, home and back.

Not much different from competitors' products based on Android, Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 forward 3-inch diagonal screen and a resolution of 320x480 pixels (HVGA). Pixel is at least sufficient to guarantee an ideal image. Sharp and clear.

One note, though X8 already support 16 million colors, the output looks less than optimal. Reflecting on the case of Optimus few editions ago, the ability of the operating system Android 1.6, which reportedly supports only 64 thousand colors should be blamed as the culprit.

For interaction, no need to use a stylus for touch screen phone has to offer capacitive sensors. An advantage of some other Android-based phone is still performed with resistive sensors. Touch screen performance is quite good and responsive.

Execution menu, scroll through the screen or typing a message feels solid. Although almost no lag but the screen is still less smooth transition and less rapid. For typing, X8 provides a virtual keypad, the QWERTY and numeric formats.
