HelpAs usual my friend Albin has shot a short video clip showing off his XPERIA X8, comparing it to the X10 products and giving a first glimpse of it.It can be seen as the middle sister to the X10 products size-wise but will as told earlier be somewhat of a baby sister when it comes to price. Something we think will make it very attractive to an even bigger target group.As always remember that these videos are done on prototype hardware and pre-release software so things can of course change until release.Have a great weekend!
Unfortunately the video doesnt say much about the X8 itself except for the fact that it has a full QWERTY touchscreen keyboard like the X10 and the corner shortcuts from the X10 mini. So we turn to Rog’s review from se-first.com….
Our impression
Although the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 looks like being a phone between the Xperia X10 and the x10 mini, it really is meant to be the entry phone to the Xperia line (‘My first Xperia’). However, we definitely think that it is also an absolutely viable option for those who are looking for an Android powered phone that comes in a handy, yet usable form factor and size.
On the negative side one certainly has to consider the low camera resolution with no autofocus option. Another cause for complaint will most probably be the Android version 1.6, which is considered to be outdated for quite some time now already. It is however expected that the complete Xperia line will get an update to a more up to date Android version sometime in Q3 this year.
