Sony Ericsson S302 for your snapshots

We told you about the Snapshot series quite some time ago in a post about the new nomenclature of Sony Ericsson phone names, and today we’ll be unveiling Sony Ericsson’s first phone in this series - it’s called the Sony Ericsson S302 Snapshot.

The S302 Snapshot is a cheap camera-enabled quadband GSM phone with further support for EDGE networks. It’ll be available in Europe (S302) and China (S302c).

The S302 Snapshot sports a fair 2 mega pixel camera with fixed focus, meaning your shots won’t get past the snapshot-level, which is basically expectable from a product with that as its surname. It does, however, feature the more advanced camera interface from earlier Sony Ericsson phones, and considering it’s a low/mid-end solution, that’s not half bad. Further more, it’s got a photo light and it features PhotoFix as well, if you decide to use that.
Your favourite moments can be recorded on video, although it won’t be in that great quality, and the internal memory of only 20 megabytes is also somewhat of a hindrance if you had plans about holding your entire photo album on it. It is, however, expandable with a Memory Stick Micro card.

Photos and videos can be easily transfered via either Bluetooth 2.0 or USB 2.0 (notice the 2’s, did you?). If you don’t want to use either, you can post both your images on a blog, or print them directly with the built-in PictBridge support.

Other features worth mentioning are A2DP-support, media player, support for various audio codecs, PlayNow, TrackID, a built-in FM radio and the Access NetFront xHTML web browser.

The S302 Snapshot measures 101 x 46 x 11 (12) millimetres, and weighs a mere 79 grams, making it quite light. Its display is a 2-inch TFT-display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. The battery life is set to 7 hours of talk or 300 hours of standby.

The phone will be available in early Q4 this year, and announced on the 17th. It’ll come in Thunder Grey and Crystal Blue colour trimmings. Its price is yet unknown, but it’ll be quite low.

    Seems like a fairly decent handset. Price will be the decisive factor.
    @Mizzle
    You’ve mentioned that it’ll be out in Europe and China. Will it also be available in the rest of the world? Such a handset would do pretty well in developing countries like India, so it seems a strange move by SE to overlook these markets.

    So this is the new K series?

  3. Michell Bak says:

    Karun,
    Unless the S302c hits India, then I don’t think that will happen.

    mmm,
    No, K-series is still alive.

    K series is still alive? Doing what? I can’t honestly see room for it anymore. We’ve got the S, T and C series covering its old jobs.

    I don’t mean to call you a liar but I kinda think the K series is dead. Theres no place for it. Unless you have some proof? :)

  8. Michell Bak says:

    K series is still alive yes. Want proof? It’ll come Tuesday, along with the rebirth of another series.

  9. mmm says:

    @Muhammad-Oli
    I’m guessing SE is covering all its bases with a K series (basic cameras), S series (medium cameras), and C series (Cyber-shot).

  10. Kevin says:

    Or the K-series will just be relegated to candybar-only like it always was without any camera requirement.

  11. Chu iAN says:

    argh! will sony ericsson ever put autofocus in low and mid end camera phones anymore?
    i think there should be more models like K750…i simply cannot live without autofocus..!

    hmmm i’ve been thinking about that what the heck is up with the fixed focus??? well i guess they are gonna leave auto focus to mid range/high end phones only.

    The news that the K series is still alive will be a big relief to many :) I didn’t think SE would discontinue it actually, as it does have a huge fan base and am sure SE would’ve taken that into consideration. Am looking forward to the new handset announcement which might give us an idea as to what SE’s future strategy would be, with respect to the K series.

  22. karun says:

    @Michell

    Still think this phone would have done pretty well in India. But there’s still a possibility it might be launched there.
