Sony Ericsson Vivaz Design review

Sony Ericsson Vivaz has a standard design for a touchscreen phone. It has a large touchscreen display with nHD resolution (360 x 640 pixels) and three buttons bellow. Compared to the Sony ericsson Satio, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is pretty similar but the top and bottom part is more curved. The material used for the Vivaz’s case is mostly plastics, but surprisingly it is very good and solid. All in all, it’s a well-built handset using quality plastics. Compact and lightweight, the Vivaz is a very friendly device, and beautifully styled too.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz Display review

As we’ve mentioned before, the 3.2″ resistive touchscreen has 640 x 360 pixel resolution and 16 Million colors. It has nice picture quality with excellent contrast for a TFT unit. Resistive displays generally need more pressure to get a click registered. As we found out though, the Vivaz screen response is excellent. The resistive technology is certainly not a drawback here. Unfortunately, the sunlight legibility is poor – the Vivaz does slightly better than the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, which has a screen with the same size, resolution and touch technology.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz User Interface (UI) Review

Checkout the video below

Sony ericsson Vivaz loud speaker and audio review

Our folks at gsmarena have conducted a loudspeaker test for the Vivaz. And the result is not so good. Compared to other phone such as Acer NeoTouch, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, SE Satio, and HTC Touch HD, the sony ericsson vivaz loudspeaker fall behind.

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz isn’t the loudest of them handset as far as headphones volume is concerned. However when subjected to our traditional audio quality test it showed a decent overall performance with even a few excellent marks here and there. The noise level, dynamic range and stereo crosstalk are particularly impressive, while the distortion levels are both pretty decent.

The cut-off extreme bass frequencies are the only slight shortfall of the Vivaz frequency response. However it is excellent for the rest of the audible range so no biggie.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz Camera and Image Review

The Sony Ericsson Vivaz packs an 8-megapixel camera and is capable of taking photos of up to 3264 x 2448 pixels. It also sports a LED flash, but its serves video better than the still images. The interface is quite comfortable. In the options you’ll find several features such as self-timer, white balance, flash on/off, effects, image stabilizer and picture size.

Regarding the image quality, Sony Ericsson Vivaz produces splendid photos. The colors are vibrant and rich (too bad we don’t have the weather to prove it), the amount of resolved detail is very good and the noise levels are low. Overall the image quality is very impressive!

Sony Ericsson Vivaz main disadvantages:

• No camera lens protection
• No auto mode for the flash/video light
• LED flash not powerful enough
• The S60 5th edition UI isn’t to the best in class standards
• No proximity sensor sensor to lock the screen during a call
• No DivX or XviD support out-of-the-box
• No smart or voice dialing
• No office document editing (without a paid upgrade)
• No stereo speakers
• No digital compass (magnetometer)
• Videocalling uses only the main camera (no secondary one)

Ok, I think that’s about it. Now what do you think about the Sony EricssonVivaz Review? Don’t forget to read the comparison between Sony Ericsson Vivaz vs Sony Ericsson Satio vs Samsung Omnia HD vs Samsung Jet

Yay, finally the long-awaited Nokia E72 got a professional review from our Russian folks at the Mobile-Review. It is a long long review, so I took the liberty to sum up the Nokia E72 Review for you There are several review aspects that I would talk about here; the The E72 Design, Specs, Features, and Comparison to the predecessor, the Nokia E71 and its QWERTY goodness.

E72 Design

Ok, I think we all agree that Nokia E71 has a great design, and it seems that Nokia doesn’t want to risk that. The E72 is very much alike its older brother in terms of design. The size of E72 (114×59.5×10.1 mm) and the weight (128 gr) is really close to the E71, which means it will fit in in most common places such as  hirt pocket, in jeans, trousers, not to mention the bag or something similar. There are 3 original colors of the E72, Zodium Black, Metal Grey, and Topaz Brown.

The case uses the same material with E71. However, there is an addition of 3.5 mm standard headphone jack!! Not that we don’t love the E71’s 2mm jack, it’s just that we love the bigger jack better Another important upgrade is the sound chip, which makes the E72 has a better sound. The E72 uses the same display as the E71 (QVGA, 320×240 px, 16m colors)

Another difference found in the E72 is the QWERTY keyboard. The Nokia E72 has a slightly bigger QWERTY keyboard keys but the space key is smaller than the E71. It is all about habit actually, but many people prefer the E72 keyboard. However, there’s an addition of optical trackpad on the new Nokia E72, but it takes time to get used to.

Nokia E72 Specs and Features

E72 used the lithium-polymer battery BP-4L 1500 mAh (the same battery of Nokia E71). According to the manufacturer, the phone is able to work out to 12.5 hours of talk time (GSM), up to 20 days in standby mode. Music playback time – up to 37.5 hours. The E72 is 15-20% more energy-efficient than the E71

E72 uses 250MB of memory, 140 MB bigger than the E71. The RAM is still the same, but the max capacity of the memory card is increased from 8GB to 16GB. The CPU is also better, twice better. The E72 CPU speed is 600 MHz CPU compared to E71’s 369 MHz CPU

In terms of navigation, the E72 has the same GPS with the E71, but it has additional digital compass . The data connectivity is also great, It has HSDPA 10.2Mbps down and HSUPA 2Mbps up.

Nokia also upgrades the E72 camera. The new E72 still has the E71 features such as the autofocus and LED Flash, but the new E72 boasts a 5 megapixel camera with larger resolution (2592×1944) compared to the E71 (3.2 megapixel. 2048×1536 pixels).

Ok, the conclusion:

Impressions

Basically in terms of performance, Nokia E71 and E72 offers a great experience. However, due to the faster processor I believe that the Nokia E72 might be faster compared to the Nokia E71. Another thing that makes difference between the two phones is the sound quality. The Nokia E72 has a louder sound on the table compared to the E71; but the E71 sound louder when you put it in your jacket’s pocket. Well, it is just a matter of preference, actually. I also think that the which phone is louder is not that important. Lol. Anyway, the vibration call remained exactly the same.

There is a slight changes in terms of design. I personally love the Nokia E72 design better than its predecessor. I’m not saying that the Nokia E71 design is bad, the E71 has a hot and same reliable design, I just love this one better.

One thing I would like to note here is the increased speed (again); responsiveness, and 20% of increased performance… The camera does not produce stunning impression, it is ordinary, but the clear winner of the Nokia E71.

Overall, the Nokia E72 in this review is a damn good phone. The Nokia E71 successor completes most of the previous phone functions. And if you asked me, I would upgrade my E71 to this hot-looking and reliable Nokia E72….This is the most interesting devices on the market to date!
