Here’s a quick look at the Sony Ericsson vivaz. In the preview I’ll be covering the design of the phone, updated standby panels, camera and multimedia as well as the web browser. All in about four minutes or so. Now, this was my very first video preview like this, so please forgive any mistakes I [...]
Having spend a couple of days with the Vivaz and being a former user of the Satio, Sony Ericsson’s first smartphone with Symbian^1, I feel well equipped to write some sort of a preview of the phone based on my first days of using it.
I’d like to kick off with a bit of a comparison [...]
Before saying anything else, I’d like to point out that it is virtually impossible to take a photograph of the Vivaz that does the phone justice. It has a tendency to look rather large and bulky on photos, but it’s nothing like that in real life. I tried my best to make it seem as [...]
I received the Sony Ericsson Vivaz today and I’ve been playing with it ever since. If you’re considering getting the Satio — don’t. Get Vivaz instead. It’s cheaper, faster and feels a lot more complete. Besides, the camera – both stills and video – performs considerably better than Satio.
Here are a few unboxing photos for [...]
Check out these sparkling new photos of the Kurara / Vivaz. Like them better than the spy photos? Yeah, who wouldn’t?
The final specifications of the phone have already been posted here by me in a previous post, but let’s just do it again. It’s got a 720 MHz processor, 3.2 inch TFT display [...]
It’s crappy, short and not very detailed, but none the less it’s the first actual video of the Kurara (or U5) and it’s just hit YouTube. Check it out below!
Eldar has done it again. A preview of the Kurara (or U5) has been published at Mobile-review with screenshots and lots of pictures. I still can’t understand how he’s permitted to publish such content An interesting thing about the U5 is that it seems to be able to auto focus during video recordings. [...]
A leaked video sample from the Kurara has been published on YouTube in 720p resolution. I’ve downloaded the original HD video file and uploaded it here, so you can check the quality. It’s from an early prototype build, so it’s nowhere near being finished.
The video shows that it currently records video with a video bitrate [...]
Sony’s Media Go software is also used to synchronize content between your computer and Sony Ericsson handset. That’s why Sony also lists compatibility changes with Sony Ericsson phones in the change log when providing new updates. It seems like they’ve let a few phones slip.
In the version 1.3 Media Go update, the change log mentions [...]
This is just a quick post, really. Eldar has just posted yet another picture of the Kurara and has confirmed some of the previously rumoured specifications, i.e. the 600 MHz ARM CPU and PowerVR GPU – just like in Satio. In addition to this he notes that the 720p video recording is impressive and that [...]
If you’re a trusty reader of GSMArena you will know that the team has just released a couple of photos of an upcoming Sony Ericsson handset under the codename of Kurara. The rumoured specifications are much like the Satio’s but with a few important changes. The battery has been juiced up a bit, now 1200 [...]
