Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro Review
(SK17i) Score: 50.5 / 100
Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro is a not so powerful cellphone launched many years ago, including a compact 3" capacitive display, a great performance processor speeding at 1 gigahertz, and 2 cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera.
This cellphone is a little bit thick compared to current phones, with its 0.71" thickness. Sony made this phoneavailable only in multiple colors: black, pink, green and white. This device feels quite heavyweight for a phone this size, with a weight of 4.8 ounces.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 chip, which holds a good performance 1 GHz processing unit with 512 MB RAM memory. Helping with graphic rendering, it also counts with an Adreno 205 GPU working at 245 MHz. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro has a 409,6 MB internal memory, a low amount that could be enough for basic users considering it also has a slot for external memory cards to store songs, photographs and videos.
This phone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back side camera and a 0.3 megapixels front camera. It can also capture HD 1280x720 videos. This camera also has a lot of interesting characteristics like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.
Sony packed the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro with a good level 3-inches display, and a 480 x 320 resolution, giving this cellphone a good graphical experience. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.
This cellphone includes Wi-Fi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot) and 3G fast internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM connection.
This phone comes with a 1200 mAh small sized Li-Ion battery that can keep it running for some hours, although you will find yourself looking for a place to charge it if you use it heavily. Sony informs a 5.7 hours talk time and a 331 hours stand by time for this phone.
This phone also features some nice characteristics as Bluetooth (2.1, EDR) and GPS, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
Sony is selling this phone for 170 dollars, which is not a good offer for comparing with other similar cellphones.
