Sony Ericsson W8 Brings Walkman Features to Android

May 18, 2011 - PRLog -- The Walkman series still remains as one of the most successful attempt from Sony Ericsson in creating a new segment in the mobile phone industry. It has been successful in the same way that the touch screen display technology has successful following the introduction in the Apple iPhone. Now, after the small gap in this segment, Sony Ericsson are trying to revive the brand by launching a new phone that promises to fuse the Walkman technology along with the touch screen technology in a never before seen combination. It will be available in the form of the Sony Ericsson W8 Walkman, which was only recently announced by the company.

It comes with a 3 inch display that can be ideal for watching movies as well due to the high resolution offered by this screen. It is 320 x 480 pixels to be precise and it is going to be wonderful for watching movies on this large screen. The usage of the screen is not the interesting aspect of the phone since the dimensions of the phone will be taking a far greater role in the phones importance. The total weight of the phone is kept at just under 100 g, which would make it one of the lightest phones on the market today. It would feel as though the battery had been removed from the phone, whereas the battery would actually be present.

Such is the incredibly compact dimensions of the phone that he has managed to keep the same amount of features that you normally find in this segment for less than half the weight. Once you get beyond this amazing aspect of the phone, you will be greeted to the news that the touch screen display is capacitive and hence, it can recognise multiple touches. It is often found in the high-end smartphones, but to be expecting the same in the budget smartphone is like stretching the limits a little too far. The Sony Ericsson W8 Walkman, however, manages to provide this, despite the lack of the same in the competition. The Sony Ericsson W8 Walkman will also provide 128 MB of memory internally, which will definitely attract the question of the Walkman branding. However, due to the presence of the external memory card support in the phone, it will be able to answer the questions comprehensively.

The Sony Ericsson W8 Walkman will be providing the 600 MHz processor that has been assigned the task of running the Android 2.1 operating system. It will be certainly ideal for the phone given that the phone offers the Walkman branding. Despite the musical connections, the Sony Ericsson W8 Walkman manages to offer a 3.15 megapixel camera that also provides the option of video recording along with the image shooting option. This video recording is going to be done in the VGA resolution at 30 frames per second, which will certainly look good in the final product. The Sony Ericsson W8 Walkman is going to be available in the next few months in the UK.
