3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB a nice 3-inch LCD display screen. Specifications wise the phone is decent for price: 8.1 megapixel camera every typical connectivity option you need, i.e. I can’t say I had the most fun or intuitive time with the interface.īut if you can get past the interface hurdle (this is huge, I know), the phone has brilliant gems amongst the flaws. I put in about 2GB of songs into the 8GB mini-SD card (comes bundled with the phone, which is nice), and the phone took time to sync and load the songs and playlists into the touchscreen interface. Seriously, if the touchscreen was spoilt, the phone would work perfectly fine for every function.Īnother major gripe is that the interface can be laggy. To me, the touchscreen “media mode” looks nice, but it feels tacked on just for the sake of being cool. The keypad interface can access any phone function. From the touchscreen you can only access the media stuff, like playing videos, music or taking photos. However, this touchscreen interface is also different from the keypad interface. Only when you slide shut the phone does the touchscreen spring to life. At least two other friends (besides myself) instinctively tried to activate icons on the touchscreen whilst the phone was open, but this doesn’t work. I like various aspects of the phone, but other parts of this slide phone irritate the heck out of me.įriends whom I’ve showed the phone to the first time invariably ask the question “Is this a touchscreen phone?” It *is* a touchscreen phone, but when you slide the phone open, the touchscreen is inactive and only the T-9 keypad buttons work. I had the opportunity to play around with the Aino for about two weeks, and like Alf’s take on the Satio, I have mixed feelings about it. Prices listed here are the recommended retail price without any contract with a telco.

While the W models don’t exist anymore, it doesn’t stop Sony from further improving their built-in Walkman feature and providing a stunningly clear sound every time you listen to it.You may want to check out Alf’s review on the Satio if you haven’t read that, as the Aino phone is a sister phone to the Satio and some of the bundled apps are similar.

Combine that with the slip-proof, textured back panel of the phone and you’ve got yourself a pretty accident-safe, high-tech mobile phone. Plus, it looks sleek and simple, much like a lot of today’s smart phone models, but most importantly, the phone is completely waterproof.

The phone is a little bigger compared to other Android phones, but with features like that, the bigger the better.

Another huge selling point for the Sony Xperia Z is the cutting-edge, 5-inch 1080p HD Bravia 2 display. With a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon CPU, operating the phone is shockingly fast. True enough, Sony’s current flagship mobile phone, the Sony Xperia Z, is a monster Android phone that is loaded with amazing features and specs and has the probability of leveling with, if not surpassing the popularity of the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Nokia Lumia 920.
