Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Review
Score: 44 / 100
Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is a mid-to-low level Android cellphone launched many years ago, featuring a 3.2 MP back camera, a 600 MHz processing unit and a small 3 inches display. Is that all? No, it's just the starting point.
Sony appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 3.67 ounces cellphone. Sony sells this phone in many color variations, gray, pink, blue and white. This cellphone is a bit thick for today's standards, with its 0.59" thickness.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 includes a good 3 inches display with a 480 x 320 resolution, which makes everything look quite colorful and brightful. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, but it's not multi-touch.
This phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227 chip, which holds a fast 600 megahertz CPU. Graphic intensive games and applications usually consume lots of processor time, so this phone counts with an additional Adreno 200 GPU working at 128 megahertz to improve overall performance. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 counts with a 131,07 MB internal storage memory, a poor quantity that could be adequate for basic users knowing that it also has an external memory slot to store songs, photos and videos.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 counts with wifi connection (although it can't provide it to other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA and UMTS technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM connection.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 only has a 3.2 megapixels back side camera. In addition, the camera includes geo tagging.
This cellphone features a 1200 mAh small Li-Polymer battery, which is quite low for a thirsty cellphone like this. This phone has an aproximate 4.8 hours talk time and a 446 hs stand by time.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 also comes with some cool characteristics like Bluetooth (2.1, EDR), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and some sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is not very convinient considering it is priced $ 80, and some similar cellphones cost a lot less than that.
