Sony Xperia X10- the good and the bad

ony launched its Xperia X10 mobile phone which  is seen as one of the bigger smartphones that is based on Android 1.6. The phone is offered by AT&T as its official carrier. Xperia X10 packs a user friendly design, a large 4.7 inch touchscreen display and a generous feature kit in a slick device. Sony offers you a faster performance speed and a decent call quality in Xperia X10 with a virtual keyboard that comes with its unique elements.

The Xperia X10 runs on Android 1.7 also known as ‘Donut’ that looks pretty outdated especially when we are seeing the rival Droid coming up with Android v2.0 and promising to bring the Froyo, the Android 2.1 real soon. We heard Sony to bring the Android 2.1 update no sooner than Q4 this year which makes it even obsolete in the times when Froyo becomes the talk of the town. But on the upside, Xperia X10 is definitely a huge smartphone and Sony did not forget to offer you a big 4.7 inch touch display with 65k color support and a rich resolution of 854 x 480 pixels.

Sony Xperia X10’s 8.1 MP camera with LED flash is surely impressive. The camera comes with features such as touch-to-focus, smile detection and video recording which captures at 30fps. The phone lets you upload photos directly to Facebook, Flickr and Picassa and offers UX technology that recognizes a person’s face and automatically tags it for you. The smartphone runs on 1GHz Snapdragon processor and comes with solid multimedia features. The Mediascape feature lets you view your most recently played track, offers browsing and playback modes and displays the album art.

Xperia X10 also brings Timescape feature that promises to offers your alerts, contacts and messages in a steady flow. It displays your social media alerts, your latest emails and text messages, but sadly it suffers due to the crawling speed to launch content and images.

But apart from the Android and Timescape glitches we have no regreats with Sony Xperia X10. The phone is liked for its curvy design, brilliant display and amazing features set, not to forget the call and data quality.
