Sony Ericsson Satio Review

Score: 46.7 / 100

Sony Ericsson Satio is a decent quality device released many years ago, packed with a 12.1 megapixels back camera, a 3.5 inches screen and a quite powerful 600 megahertz processor. But let's get into more details.

Sony decided to equip this phone with a TI OMAP3430 chip, holding a powerful CPU speeding at 600 megahertz with only 256 MB RAM. Helping with graphic rendering, it also uses a PowerVR SGX530 GPU speeding at 200 megahertz. This phone comes with a 131,07 MB internal memory, a poor quantity that may be enough for basic users considering it also has a slot for external memory cards to store photos and videos.

This phone is a little thick for today's standards, being as thick as 0.52". This phone is quite heavy for a phone of this size, weighting 4.44 ounces.

This phone has only a 12.1 mega-pixels back-facing camera. To complete the camera, it also includes multiple amazing features like flash, digital image stabilization, auto-focus, face detection shooting, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.

Sony designed this cellphone with a good level 3.5 inches screen, and a 640 x 360 resolution, which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels in the screen. Its screen uses TFT resistive technology, but it doesn't allow multi-touch gestures.

The Sony Ericsson Satio comes with a 950 mAh small capacity Li-Polymer removable battery that can keep this phone running for some hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. This cellphone has an aproximate 11 hs talk time and a 360 hours stand by time according to Sony.

This phone counts with WiFi connection (although it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and 3G fast internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

The Sony Ericsson Satio also includes a few useful characteristics as Bluetooth (2.0, EDR) and GPS, and a couple sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This phone is being sold for 119 dollars, which is very expensive for a device this level.
