Multimedia

The camera has a resolution of 3.2 megapixels and it has autofocus. This is not a high-end camera resolution nowadays, but it’s great that the handset can record VGA resolution videos. There aren’t too much settings available, we can choose from five different preset modes (portrait, landscape, night mode, sport photo, document), and we have focusing to touch, which means that the camera focuses on the spot we tap at on the screen. There is image sequencing, a couple of effects; we can disable camera sounds, set white balance and JPEG compression. That’s it.
Test video coming soon, we’re having some small technical difficulties, excuse us for that.

Image quality is not too good, and that’s the least to say. It’s no news about a Sony Ericsson handset that it can’t set white balance correctly by itself, so on most open-air images there is too much blue color. Still, probably no software update will help the image noise and lack of details, edge sharpness is also far from being perfect. I could say that I’ve been disappointed by this as well, but considering the other parts, I didn’t even expect much…

We can access multimedia contents from the X-Panel. The image browser is rather good, it works very fast and it’s easy to use with fingers, although it’s based on a different concept than TouchFLO – for example we can zoom with a slider, but it’s really smooth. We can browser the pictures with our finger, but this part is rather innovative, since all images pop up when moving around, so we can browse really fast.

The music player, however, is a disaster, as we can only access from the X-Panel part, so we can say there is no dedicated program. If we don’t like this we can stick to Media Player. The player can sort tracks by ID3 tags, it can display album covers, it can seek, but it has no equalizer. The headset in the package is the in-ear type we might know from the Walkman series, it’s really, really good, although I think it has a bit too much bass. Sound quality is pretty bad through the handsfree speaker. There is an FM radio, it works.
