Sony Ericsson Live Walkman Review

Score: 51.9 / 100

Sony Ericsson Live Walkman is a mid level Android cellphone launched many years ago, including a great performance processing unit clocking at 1 gigahertz, a 5 MP back camera and a medium sized 3.2" display.

Sony decided to equip the Sony Ericsson Live Walkman using a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 chip, packing a powerful processor ticking at 1 GHz and 512 MB RAM memory. Graphic rendering often eats a lot of processor time, so it also has an extra Adreno 205 GPU clocking at 245 megahertz to help the CPU with those tasks. The Sony Ericsson Live Walkman has a mediocre 327,68 MB internal storage memory, which might be enough for basic users having that this cellphone also has an SD memory slot to store songs, photos and videos.

This cellphone is available in 2 color options, black and white. This cellphone doesn't feel very lightweight for a cellphone of this size, weighting 4.06 oz. This phone is a bit thick for current standards, with a thickness of 0.56 inches.

The Sony Ericsson Live Walkman includes a interesting 3.2" display with a 480 x 320 resolution, providing this phone with an average graphical experience. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This cellphone is equipped with only a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera. It is capable of shooting videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 30 frames per second. Additionally, this cellphone's camera also features many cool features like flash, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

This phone provides Wi-Fi connectivity (which it can share with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G internet connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Ericsson Live Walkman uses a SIM card for GSM networks.

The Sony Ericsson Live Walkman also comes with a couple of cool features like Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth phones, computers and accessories), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This cellphone counts with a 1200 mAh small sized Li-Ion removable battery that provides the Sony Ericsson Live Walkman a below average battery durationcompared to other devices. According to Sony, this cellphone has an aproximate 14.3 hours talk time and a 400 hs stand by time.

This device is being sold for 305 dollars, very expensive for comparing with other similar cellphones.
