Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson Xperia pro

Short Review

  • The Sony Ericsson Xperia pro features a compact design with dimensions of 120 x 57 x 15.3 mm and a weight of 142g, making it portable yet sturdy.
  • Its 3.7-inch LED-backlit LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 265 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which supports everyday applications but may struggle with more demanding tasks.
  • The 8 MP rear camera captures decent images, though it lacks optical image stabilization and has a maximum video recording capability of 720p at 30fps.
  • Battery life is supported by a 1500 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
  • The device runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), with an upgrade path to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), providing a basic user experience.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
  • The absence of a front-facing camera limits selfie options, as it only features a 0 MP front camera.
  • Special features include a physical keyboard that slides out for easier typing, enhancing productivity.
  • Overall, the Xperia pro is a functional device with practical features for its time.
