Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson W8
Short Review
- The Sony Ericsson W8 features a compact design with dimensions of 99 x 54 x 15 mm and a weight of 104g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 3.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 192 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227 Snapdragon S1 chipset with a 600 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 128MB of RAM, suitable for simple applications but limited for multitasking.
- The 3.15 MP rear camera captures images without optical image stabilization and can record video at 480p, while there is no front-facing camera.
- The 1200 mAh battery provides basic longevity but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.1 (Eclair), the software experience is dated and may not support newer applications.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in vibrant colors like Azure, Orange, and Red, adding a touch of personalization.
- Overall, the W8 is a straightforward phone with essential features, but it falls short in performance and software updates.
- Its design and build quality are decent for its time, catering to users seeking a simple mobile experience.
