Xperia S with an anti-stain shell and fast charge capability

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Sony’s new flagship, the Xperia S is to come with an anti-stain coating and fast charge capability. There are no details regarding this in their blog or in the phone white paper but the company’s Facebook page confirms it. Anti-stain coating is a nano coating on the phone that keeps the dirt away and is also UV active. PocketPC.ch recently spoke to a Sony Ericsson production manager and he also confirmed the presence of anti-stain coating on Xperia S.

It seems there is another interesting feature in the Xperia S, that is the fast charge capability. In detail, the charging time of the phone is considerably reduced. That is, the battery gets to 80% in just 30 minutes since it is charged on relatively high amperes and thereafter the current rate lowers until it is fully charged. In daily life this means a 10 minutes charge will give you a 1 hour talk time and if you charge your phone for 30 minutes, you easily get a day out of the battery. This sounds cool if it is true and is really a feature of Xperia S’s sealed 1750 mAh battery.

Update:

We have a video from Mobile-Review demonstrating the anti-stain feature of Xperia S.

Saturday, July 30th, 2011
The Sony Xperia Mini and Xperia Mini Pro are already on sale in some parts of the world, but not here in Europe.
SE-First got their hands on a Xperia Mini Pro to show us a what’s in the box.

The Xperia Mini Pro comes with two covers, the white model comes with a pink cover and the black model comes with a turquoise cover.
But some regions get more in the box like others. For example some come with screen protectors and some not.

Here’s the unboxing:

X10’s update to 2.3.3 delayed!

Monday, June 20th, 2011
Once again bad news for the X10 owners!
The update to 2.3.3 will be delayed, too. We all hoped to get it within the next few weeks but now Sony Ericsson just posted that we’ll get the update in the beginning of August.
They didn’t post a real reason for the delay but at least the update that is in testing at the moment is almost finalized.

What’s sure about the update now:
- The X10 will keep it’s old camera application and won’t get the stock Gingerbread one which is really good
- Facebook Inside Xperia will come to the X10
- It will bring an experience like on the 2011 SE Android devices to the X10

Also Sony Ericsson posted a preview video of the update:

After watching the video I’d say that the 32fps cap still exists in the update, which is bad.

So once again we have to keep waiting.

Video: Uploading to YouTube from the X10

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Following on from their recent post demoing streaming video services on the Sony Ericsson X10 the Sony Ericsson product blog has posted up a nice video demo of uploading videos to YouTube directly from the handset. It’s not rocket science of course and most of you will not need to be told how to upload a video, but it’s useful or less experienced users and it’s always nice to see the X10 in action again.

Huge Xperia X10 Preview – Live Pics & Videos

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Our good friend rog has posted a huge preview of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 over at se-first.com.

The preview offers videos of Timescape, Mediascape, e-mail client, browser, messaging and camera application in action as well as a plethora of live images!

Here’s a snippet of the article:

Let’s start with some facts and figures. The X10 sports (among a lot of others) the following main-features:
Android 1.6 (Donut)
WVGA screen (480 x 854)
Scratch resistant, 4 inches, capacitive TFT touchsreen
Size: 119 x 63 x 13 mm, 135 grams
1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 processor
Sony Ericsson Timescape™ & Mediascape™ User Interface2
HSPA
8 Megapixel camera with touchfocus, multipoint-focus, automatic scene detection, smile detection
WVGA video recording
Face recognition on pictures
aGPS
Exchange ActiveSync
3.5mm headset jack, miniUSB connector
1500mAh battery

……….

Let’s get into details a bit more, our first video gives you some impressions of the Xperia X10’s look, which hopefully gives you some better feeling of the Android device (for best quality, watch it in HD!):

……….

Next thing: let’s have a look at the newly introduced concept of Timescape™ and Mediascape™, which basically represents Sony Ericsson’s customization of the Android UI.

……….

What can we say about XPERIA X10 at the current stage? Well… It is definitely fun to use, the huge screen displays every content in a brilliant way, the capacitive screen is responsive, and once the firmware gets into a more final state, the phone for sure will also be more fluent in the usage. A glimps on the power that is hidden under the hood is very noticable already now in the browser, which is ultra-fast.

Sony Ericsson’s approach of including a wide area of social networks and tearing down the borders between those services in such a forceful way is certainly something new in the mobile phone area. A little doubt remains though: will the average (and even the above-average) user really make complete use of all the features that the X10 offers?

X10 Live 2

The preview is excellent and the phone is looking great, probably the most responsive we’ve seen it performing so far. So head on over to se-first.com to read the full article as well as another two videos and of course loads of live photos.

Cheers rog!

More Extensive Hands On With Xperia x10

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

This video is quite a few days old now but I hadn’t come across it until today for some reason. There’s 8 mins & 31 seconds of airtime for the X10 and it’s UX Platforum interface this time. While it’s still a little jerky in places it’s definitely more responsive than the builds we saw in earlier videos.

More Hands-on with The Xperia X10

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Never mind that Kurara, here’s more of what’s REALLY interesting from Sony Ericsson…the X10. This is another hands-on video showing a prototype X10 which is still rather laggy though perhaps performing better than that shown to engadget.

We can only hope that the final versions will run as smooth as silk like the concept videos promise.

Head over to GSMArena to see their full X10 preview .
