Our pals over at our new affiliate site, Mobiwoo, were also attending the London event yesterday. So they had a play with all 3 handsets - namely the Satio, the Aino and the Yari - and took some photos as well. Hit the links below to see what I’m talking about.
The guys at BelgiqueMobile have had a hands-on experience with all 3 of yesterday’s newly-introduced Sony Ericsson phones. We get to see the UIs in action.
The lads at GSMArena have done a pretty positive preview of Sony Ericsson’s recently announced gaming phone. Here’s the conclusion:
So there you have it - while the Sony Ericsson Yari isn’t a revolutionary device, Sony Ericsson have just successfully revolutionized their portfolio. You’ve got a top-notch music player, high-res camera with Face and Smile detection, GPS receiver, a praise-worthy web browser and the latest in Sony Ericsson UI development all in one device. Not to mention the extraordinary gesture-based gaming.
How many times should Sony Ericsson be told that users love CGI? At least there’s some at the end of each video. Oh, and the Satio one has a catchy tune.
Sony Ericsson announced the Sony Ericsson Yari today. The Yari is the first phone to feature the Walkman v4 player, which introduces interchangable themes (or styles as Sony Ericsson prefers to call them).
Sony Ericsson wants to target this phone as a ‘fun’ phone with motion games and gesture controls. It’ll also have the Media application menu and support the most recent features, including SensMe, Shake control, TrackID and Clear Audio. It’ll also have direct access to PlayNow Arena with the new movies offering.
The camera resolution is 5 megapixels and the camera supports auto focus. It’ll also have a flash and feature geo-tagging, smile shutter, photo fix and face recognition.
The TFT screen is 2.4 inches large and sports a 240 x 320 pixels resolution. It’s capable of showing up to 262.144 colours.
It’ll support A-GPS, Bluetooth, DLNA, PictBridge and USB transfers. It’ll come with Google Maps for navigational purposes.
It supports quad-band GSM and EDGE, as well as UMTS and HSDPA. It’ll be available in Q4 in Achromatic Black and Cranberry White.
