Just several days ago we presented a review on the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, and we find the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a very interesting high-end touchscreen phone with a very nice style and camera result. Today we will do a comparison between the Sony Ericsson Vivaz vs Samsung Omnia HD vs Sony Ericsson Satio vs Samsung Jet. We will focus the comparison on camera capabilities and the touchscreen comparison.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz vs Samsung i8910 Omnia HD
It is a destined comparison. The reason? Both of Sony Ericsson Vivaz and Samsung Omnia HD has a Symbian OS and 720p video, making them a bitter rival. Samsung Omnia HD was released months before the Sony Ericsson Vivaz. Samsung Omnia HD does have some problems at launch, such as audio quality and framerate issues in videos. But since it’s been a while since the launch, Samsung have managed to fix the audio problem by switching to AAC, but video is still struggling to make it to 24 frames per second.
In the opposite side of the ring we have the Sony Ericsson Vivaz. We already aware that the Vivaz has some issues as well, but it is capable of delivering all 24 fps – and the HD video recording is quite promising. In addition, the Symbian UI in the Sony Ericsson Vivaz also feels more refined and smooth. Simple yet effective placement of phone functionality on the home screen is nice, and there’s also the custom media menu. I also think that the Sony Ericsson Vivaz’s design is better compared to the Samsung Omnia HD
Sony Ericsson Vivaz vs Sony Ericsson Satio
Most of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz’s functionality can also be found in the Sony Ericsson Satio. Based on the design, they also have some resemblances. The difference is that the Vivaz has a more curved top and bottom. Another difference is the screen size. Vivaz has 3.2″ screen, while the Satio has 3.5″ screen. However, the Vivaz won in the video recording capabilities, since the Satio can only capture VGA@30fps. However, the Satio has 12MP still shots. Satio still lives in a FastPort world though, so finding a good pair of headphones might be a problem.
Sony ericsson Vivaz vs Samsung S8000 Jet
We have to admit that Samsung S8000 Jet has one of the best touchscreen display out there. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz does have a slightly bigger screen, but the Samsung Jet has 480 x 800 pixels resolution. And for the record, it also uses AMOLED screen (SE Vivaz only uses resistive TFT screen with 640 x 360 pixels) so the Samsung Jet really does have a great pixel density.
However, in terms of camera Sony Ericsson Vivaz outrun the Samsung Jet big time. The Samsung S8000 Jet has only 5 megapixels and D1@30fps to offer. Another problem with the Samsung Jet is that it doesn’t have the flexibility of a smartphone, even though it has a SatNav software and a document viewer.
Ok so that’s it for today, and hopefully in the future I will release a more detailed comparison between those smartphones. So stay tuned here at gadgetwidgets.com
