Sony Ericsson Vivaz Review
(U5) Score: 45.3 / 100
Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a fair quality Symbian S60 5th Edition device released many years ago, which counts with a medium 3.2 inches screen, a powerful processing unit clocking at 720 megahertz and an 8.1 MP back-facing camera.
This phone is for sale in lots of color variations like black, blue, red and gray. Apparently Sony didn't care much about the weight in this 3.42 oz device.
Sony equipped this cellphone with a very good 3.2 inches display, and a resolution of 640 x 360 , which makes all images and movies look colorful and brightful. Its display uses TFT resistive technology, but it doesn't allow multi-touch gestures.
This phone is powered by a powerful CPU running at 720 megahertz. This cellphone counts with a 76,8 MB internal storage, a small quantity that could be enough for some users considering that this cellphone also has an SD extension slot to store songs, photos and videos and even some applications that can be installed in the external memory.
This cellphone is only equipped with an 8.1 MP back-facing camera. This cellphone can also film videos in 1280x720 (HD). To complete the camera, it also has many cool features like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz features wi-fi connectivity (although it can't be shared with other devices around, as a mobile mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz works with a SIM card for GSM connection.
This cellphone also features a couple interesting features like Bluetooth, GPS Navigation and Radio, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor and Accelerometer.
This phone counts with a low capacity 1200 mAh Li-Polymer replaceable battery that can keep this cellphone running for some hours, although you will need to charge it even after moderate usage. Sony reports a 13 hs talk time and a 430 hours stand by time for this cellphone.
Sony sells this device for $ 195, which is not a good offer for comparing with other similar phones.
