Global (ST18i)     See other variants reviews Score: 53.7 / 100

Sony Ericsson Xperia ray is a decent Android cellphone released some years ago, in 2011, with a processing unit clocking at 1 gigahertz, a 3.3 inches display, and two cameras, an 8.1 megapixels back side camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. Let's take a deeper look at what this device can give us.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia ray has a gorgeous design, with a thickness of just 0.37 inches. Sony offers the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray in a variety of color variations: black, pink, yellow and white. It seems like Sony forgot about optimizing the weight in this 3.53 ounces cellphone.

Sony decided to equip this cellphone using a good performance CPU clocking at 1000 megahertz with 512 MB RAM memory. This cellphone comes with a 307,2 MB internal storage, a little quantity that may be adequate for basic users knowing that it also has a slot for an SD memory card to store songs, photographs and videos.

This cellphone is equipped with a good looking 854 x 480 3.3-inches display, which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels that compose the display. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone provides WiFi connectivity (which it can share with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Ericsson Xperia ray works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This device features two cameras, an 8.1 MP back-facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front camera. It is capable of filming 1280x720 HD videos at 30 frames per second. This device also counts with a lot of cool characteristics: auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

This phone also comes with a handful of useful characteristics as Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia ray packs a mid sized 1500 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep it running for many hours, but you may need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. According to Sony, this phone has an aproximate talk time of 6.5 hours and a stand by time of 430 hours.

This phone is being sold for about $ 119, not cheap for comparing with similar devices. In case want a social phone, this device is probably a great choice for you. This cellphone is packed with Synchronisation and file transfer, User documentation, 4GB microSD memory card, microUSB cable for charging, Charger and Stereo portable handsfree.
