Sony Ericsson Satio a Review

Score: 46.4 / 100

Sony Ericsson Satio a is a decent Symbian cellphone launched back in 2009, having a 12.1 mega-pixels back-facing camera, a fast 600 MHz processor and a medium 3.5-inches screen.

This device feels quite heavyweight for a phone of this size, with a weight of 4.44 ounces. This phone is a little bit thick for current standards, being as thick as 0.52".

Sony equipped this phone with a interesting 3.5 inches display, and a 640 x 360 resolution, providing this phone with a good level image quality. This display uses TFT resistive technology, but it's not multi-touch.

Sony decided to sell this phone with a quite powerful CPU running at 600 megahertz and as little as 256 MB of RAM. The Sony Ericsson Satio a has a 131,07 MB internal memory, a little quantity that could be enough for some basic users having that it also has a slot for an SD memory card to store songs, pictures and videos and even some applications that allow being installed in the external memory.

This cellphone only features a 12.1 megapixels back camera. The camera also includes a few nice features like flash, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting and face detection shooting.

The Sony Ericsson Satio a provides WiFi connection (but it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and the fastest 3G connection type, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This device also features a couple of interesting features such as Bluetooth (2.0, EDR) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and a few sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The Sony Ericsson Satio a packs a 950 mAh small Li-Polymer replaceable battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours, although you will need to charge it even after moderate use. Sony reports a talk time of 11 hs and a stand by time of 360 hs for this device.

Sony is selling this cellphone for 119 dollars, which is expensive for this kind of device.
