NOW AVAILABLE!
In my recently published preview of the Vivaz I mentioned that the software is one of the key differences between Satio and Vivaz. It’s been updated quite a bit compared to Satio, and I was wondering if Satio owners would be able to get this update as well. It’s now been confirmed by Sony [...]
In an interview with Mobile Today, Sony Ericsson’s Nathan Vautier, Head of Sales in the UK, said that the company will announce 14-16 phones this year, including “a number of Walkman phones” for the lower-/mid-end segment. Most will be priced around the £100 mark.
Interesting. The last announcement of a product in the Walkman range was [...]
Here’s a pretty cool video, showing the navigation application on the Satio. In my review of the Satio, you can read that I quite fancy it
Although not entirely finished… I ran into a bit of an issue just a few minutes ago, which prevents me from finishing it totally, but all that’s missing are a few screenshots and camera samples. I’m unable to add any at the moment.
There’s a total of 8,200 words and more than 100 pictures to satisfy [...]
Just wanted to let you guys know that the new Satio firmware update brings along huge performance improvements. I just ran the SPMark Mobile JSR 184 benchmark and I noticed a performance boost between 40 – 80 percent! That’s huge! Really impressive stuff, no doubt.
By the way… I’ll publish the review in a few days. [...]
The updated Satio firmware has just reached SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and is now ready to be deployed on most handset variants across the globe. Operator specific versions of the firmware have yet to arrive on SEUS, but that’s pretty normal. The update (R1CA037) ensures improved performance and speed, and includes a lot of [...]
Here’s a short video clip I just did, showing some of the 3D graphics capabilities of the Satio using the Futuremark 3DMark Mobile JSR 184 application. Enjoy!
Here’s a 17-minute video preview of the Sony Ericsson Satio. There’s no audio as I simply couldn’t find a track long enough. Fire up your favourite music player if you want music to go along I had to divide it into two parts because of YouTube’s 10 minute limit. Hope you’ll enjoy!
As most of you know Sony Ericsson is a changed company – or at least they’re trying to be. Their new make.believe brand message seems to have done a lot of good for the company and I was hoping to get a chance to speak with someone from Sony Ericsson about the change and what [...]
We’ve got an interview with Aldo Liguori, Corporate VP and Head of Global Communications & PR, coming up tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Swedish mobile magazine Tidningen Mobil has just announced the winners of its Mobilgalan, which is basically a gala party for mobile phones that is held each year, awarding the best in show, so to speak.
Sony Ericsson’s Gustaf Brusewitz and Rikard Skogberg were at the party and could walk back to the company with two awards [...]
This is a bit of a mystery. The retail units of Satio ship with a 1,000 mAh battery, which is a bit low on the juice considering it’s a high-end phone that needs a lot of power. However, there are reportedly 1,350 mAh batteries around that are compatible with the Satio.
According to Steve O’Hear from [...]
Here’s an unboxing video of the Sony Ericsson Aino that was released to market just recently. It’s quite a nice phone, although I must admit that I absolutely resent the keypad and soft keys. It’s way too cramped for my taste.
As you can see from the video, the Aino comes with a desk stand, Bluetooth [...]
The question of the week comes from Faris and is: “Could you please show some stuffs about gaming in Satio? How does it manage games which require more input than just tilting the device? Like for example Assassin’s Creed or something like that? I havent seen any other place which shows more about gaming.”
Gaming on [...]
A shoutout to Mattwood @sensedotnet for posting how to get to the service menu on Satio: red – green – red – red – green – red (call keys)
Sony Ericsson’s latest campaign is called “Eyes Wide Open” and as the name suggests it is a photo campaign to celebrate the launch of the new Satio.
In partnership with Vodafone in the UK, Sony Ericsson have teamed up with star photographer Jilian Edelstein who has shot many wonderful portraits of celebrities and personalities over the [...]
I got my own black Satio just yesterday and thought I’d do a few comparison shots, so you can all see the difference in colour. I honestly must say that I prefer the black one over the silver one. It’s so much cooler in real life.
Sorry about the dust specks on the black one. Tried [...]
This is just a quick post, but I thought some of you might find it quite interesting. It shows the capabilities of OpenGL ES 2.0 and the hardware graphics in the Sony Ericsson Satio. Go to 3:32 if you want to see the demos on a computer and to 5:00 if you want to see [...]
Sony Ericsson claims the U1 (Satio) is capable of giving a mediocre compact camera a run for its money, and I have basically said that I more or less agree with that statement. But just how does match up to a high-end professional DSLR camera? That’s what I wanted to find out and judging by [...]
Would anyone be interested in a camera comparison between the Sony Ericsson Satio and a Nikon D700? A bit overkill, I know, but still…
In the comment section on the Satio video samples post, akudan asked if it was possible for me to upload a video clip from Satio that was shot in low light. Last week I had recorded a video of me and a friend playing table tennis on our own little set up (the net was [...]
Unlimited. Entertainment Unlimited. That’s what Sony Ericsson is trying to emphasize with the release of the Sony Ericsson U1, also known as Satio, which in my opinion sounds a lot cooler. There’s just something special about it.
Anyway, let’s get back on track here for a moment. After having had the Satio for a few days [...]
The Satio is Sony Ericsson’s best camcorder to date, and would probably rank among the best on the market. I’ve shot a few video samples for you guys, so you can see the excellent video quality. You can download the original (unedited) video clips from the links below (right click and save). And yes – [...]
Here’s a 4-minute video unboxing of the silver Sony Ericsson Satio. The video includes a look at the retail box and its contents as well as a quick look at the phone and operating system. Enjoy!
PS. Sorry about the missing sound. I have no idea why that happened!
Here’s a bunch of high quality photos of the silver Sony Ericsson Satio, also known as the Sony Ericsson U1. This thing looks amazing! Check out all the photos after the jump.
Today’s the day. Sony Ericsson have just announced the shipping of three of their latest additions to the Entertainment Unlimited series, the Aino, Satio and Yari. According to Sony Ericsson, the Aino and Yari will hit the stores this week (week 41), while Satio is coming next week (week 42).
I’ve just received a retail review [...]
