Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson W960

Short Review

  • The Sony Ericsson W960 features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 55 x 16 mm and a weight of 119 grams, making it portable.
  • Its 2.6-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displays 256K colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, providing decent clarity for its time.
  • Performance is driven by a 208 MHz Philips Nexperia PNX4008 CPU and 8GB of internal storage, supported by 128MB of RAM.
  • The camera offers a 3.15 MP rear sensor with autofocus, but lacks optical image stabilization and video recording is limited to 320p at 15fps.
  • The 900 mAh battery capacity is modest and does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Symbian 9.1 with the UIQ 3.0 interface, the software experience may feel dated compared to modern standards.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b and Bluetooth 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device lacks a headphone jack and stereo speakers, which may limit audio options.
  • Overall, the W960 is a solid choice for basic tasks and music playback, but its specifications reflect its 2007 release.
  • Special features include its unique design and a focus on multimedia capabilities, typical of Sony Ericsson's Walkman series.
