Sony Ericsson Vivaz a Review
(U5a) Score: 45.2 / 100
Sony Ericsson Vivaz a is a decent quality cellphone released many years ago, packing a powerful 720 megahertz processor, a 3.2 inches screen and an 8.1 MP back facing camera.
This phone is sold in a variety of color options: black, blue, red and gray. This cellphone doesn't feel very lightweight comparing to other cellphones , with a weight of 3.42 oz.
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz a is equipped with a very good 640 x 360 3.2-inches display, which makes it hard to see the pixels taking part of the display. This display uses TFT resistive technology, but it doesn't allow multi-touch gestures.
Sony ships this phone with a powerful CPU speeding at 720 megahertz. This phone comes with a 76,8 MB internal storage, a mediocre quantity that may be adequate for some users considering this cellphone also has an external SD slot to store songs, photos and videos and even some apps that allow external memory installation.
This cellphone only features an 8.1 MP back side camera. It also films videos in HD 1280x720. This device also includes flash.
This cellphone uses a small 1200 mAh Li-Polymer battery, which is quite poor for a demanding cellphone like this. According to Sony, this cellphone has an estimated 430 hours stand by time and a 13 hs talk time.
This device features WiFi capability (but it can't be provided to other devices acting as a router or modem) and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz a works with a SIM card for GSM networks.
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz a also comes with a few nice characteristics like Bluetooth (2.0, EDR), GPS and FM Radio, and some sensors likeLight Sensor and Accelerometer.
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz a is really overvalued considering it is priced $ 195, while many similar phones are sold for much less than that.
