Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson Vivaz

Short Review

  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz features a compact design with dimensions of 107 x 51.7 x 12.5 mm and a lightweight build at 97 grams.
  • Its 3.2-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 16 million colors with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 229 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a 720 MHz CPU and 75 MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.

  • The device runs on Symbian Series 60, 5th edition, which may feel outdated compared to modern operating systems.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The Vivaz is available in multiple colors, including Pink, Silver Moon, and Cosmic Black.
