Review of Sony Xperia Sola
based on the examination at the exhibition
CONSUMER ELECTRONICS & PHOTO EXPO 2012Going to the
Crocus Expo(Moscow) from 12 to 15 April 2012.
You can also see pro SXP:
part 1and
part 2.
IN studied system:
Housing, dimensions, ergonomics Good plastic housing, durable, easy, no squeaks and backlash, a little loose there's just nothing. The exhibition was put up the prototype only in black.
The device design stands out from the new line of Sony: No transparency strip, the back is flat (everyone else it is convex).
In size - generally correspond to the diagonal of the screen. Less SXP, but slightly larger SXU.
See photos:
In his hand is sitting comfortably, touch control buttons are conveniently located off button / lock, however, is at the top on the left side:
The hand feels good, it is easy. But after heavy and solid SXS and SXP felt "plastic".
Screen Display - LCD simple enough level. With good viewing angles, but "monsters" SXS and SXP falls short.
In comparison with SE Xperia Arc (both the 100% brightness):
Arc slightly pink, SX Sola slightly Shinichi image. Brightness about parity. Thus, SX Sola in brightness lags SXS and especially from SXP.
gumption At a sufficient level. Podlagivany not noticed, the interface is smooth, even if you run "water" live wallpaper.
Camera Photo module is as follows:
In appearance, it is weaker than specified in SXP, but more impressive SXU.
Examples of photos taken on the SX Sola (please note poor coverage):
Sound The noise level at the exhibition gave evaluate any ring tone or sound in the headphones.
Floating Touch While the technology is only effective in the browser and is not very stable. It should be well get the hand to drive his finger over the screen at a distance of 1-2 mm, without touching the screen. While the technology is clearly flawed - we will see what will happen next.
The results, the overall impression Good, easy apparatik. Not such a significant design as the rest of the lineup in 2012. Nevertheless, it is quite nice, in his hand is good.
In general, this device - for those who SXU is too small and does not have enough memory, as well as the design seems too SXU youth.
Distance from SXP much more:
- Screen: the difference in technology is much more difference in the diagonal - is simply a must see
- body: the apparatus against the average level business phone
- RAM: 512 MB versus 1024 MB - that reduces the possibility of the device to the software apgreytu
- Camera: weaker, and it's not just megapixels; besides in SXP it uses much more advanced processing algorithm
The SX Sola draws against SXP: slot for the microSD, price, weight, dimensions (slightly less).
