Yesterday, Sony Ericsson launched three of its latest phones in India, the Satio, Aino and Yari.
The Sony Ericsson Satio has a 3.5-inch TFT touch screen with a resolution of 360×640 pixels. The Satio is somewhat chunky due to all the extra camera gadgetry added to it at the back, but the regular Indian buyer shouldn't mind the extra bulge. The touchscreen is resistive, not capacitative but it's still one of the more responsive touchscreens around.
The Satio is the first phone from Sony Ericsson to run the Symbian S60 5th edition operating system. It comes with a whopping 12.1-mega pixel (MP) camera with digital zoom up to 16X, geo tagging, smile shutter, autofocus, Xenon and LED flash, and video recording. This probably makes the Satio’s camera one of the highest resolution mobile phone cams going around.
The device weighs 126 grams and its dimensions are 112.0 x 55.0 x 13.0 mm. A bit large but quite poclet friendly.
Connectivity features of the Sony Ericsson Satio are integrated WiFi, with specifications of 802.11 b/g, DLNA, PictBridge, USB support, Bluetooth, aGPS, and Google Maps. The phone also comes with built in FM radio and has an internal memory of 128MB. An 8 GB microSD card comes with the handset and if that's not enough for you, you'll be happy to know it is expandable to 32GB.
The phone works on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE network at 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and UMTS/HSPA network at 900/2100 MHz.
The Sony Ericsson Satio comes with a standard Li-Po 1000 mAh battery with the following specs:
Stand-by time: Up to 360 h (2G) / Up to 340 h (3G)
Talk time: Up to11 h (2G) / Up to 4 h 50 min (3G)
The phone that comes in three colors – Black, Silver, and Bordeaux – will be available in India at a price of Rs 35,950.
I feel that this price is justified for the overall package that you get as the Satio, which truly is your all in one multimedia device. At this price point, the device will be competing with top end blackberry models as well as the iPhone 3G but it leaves all of them behind due to the sheer weight of its spec list.
Sony Ericsson Aino
The Sony Ericsson Aino comes with a 3-inch touch screen in two colors, Obsidian Black and Luminous White. The touchscreen support is partial and it is only available in media menu and the camera, which are the two most used apps in any device.
The phone has a 8.1-mega pixel camera that comes with up to 16x digital zoom, touch focus, face detection, geotagging, photo feeds, video recording, photo flash, send to web, and smart contrast.
The USP of the Sony Ericcson Aino is that it enables users to access content stored on their PlayStation 3 from a remote location using a WiFi connection.
Another feature of the Sony Ericsson Aino is the Media Home app that allows users to access media content from their PCs to their phones via Wi-Fi.
The Aino works on GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS/HSPA 850/1900/2100 networks.
Connectivity features of the Sony Ericsson Aino are A-GPS, DLNA, PictBridge, Bluetooth, Google Maps, USB mass storage, USB support, and WiFi. The phone comes with an onboard memory of up to 55MB and an 8GB SanDisk microSD card.
The Sony Ericsson Aino comes with a standard Li-Po 1000 mAh battery with the following specifications:
Stand by time: Up to 380 h (2G) / Up to 367 h (3G)
Talk time: Up to 13 h (2G) / Up to 4 h 30 min (3G)
Music listening time: Up to 31 h
The Sony Ericsson Aino will be available in the Indian market at a price of Rs 28,950.
The Yari is a gaming focused phone from Sony Ericsson. The phone comes with a new Gesture gaming feature that allows users to plays games by just moving the device.
The Sony Ericsson Yari sports 2.4-inch TFT touch screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The phone comes with a 5-megapixel camera with up to 4x digital zoom, auto focus, geotagging, send to web, smile detection, face detection, photo feeds, photo fix, video light, and video recording.
Connectivity features include Bluetooth, Google Maps, A-GPS, DNLA, PictBridge, USB mass storage, and USB support.The phone comes with an internal memory of 60MB and a SanDisk microSD support.
The Yari runs on GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS/HSDPA 900/2100.
The Sony Ericsson Yari has a standard Li-Po 1000 mAh battery with the following specifications:
Stand-by time: Up to 450 h (2G) / Up to 450 h (3G)
Talk time: Up to 10 h (2G) / Up to 4 h 30 min (3G)
The phone will be available in two colors, Achromatic Black and Cranberry White, at a price of Rs.16,950.
I feel this will soon become a hot selling handset in this segment owing to the large number of features offered at such a moderate price point.
