Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson Xperia X8
Short Review
- The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 features a compact design with dimensions of 99 x 54 x 15 mm and a weight of 104 grams, 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, a 600 MHz ARM 11 CPU, and an Adreno 200 GPU, although the limited 128MB RAM may hinder multitasking.
- The rear camera is 3.15 MP, capable of recording video at 480p@30fps, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 1200 mAh battery provides basic longevity, but there is no fast charging or wireless charging support.
- Running on Android 1.6 (upgradable to 2.1), the software experience is quite dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device is available in multiple color options, including White, Dark Blue/White, Aqua Blue/White, Pink/White, and Silver/White.
- Overall, the Xperia X8 is a basic smartphone with limited features suitable for casual users.
- Its design and build quality are decent, but performance and software limitations are notable.
