In this article I will take a look at some of the key features of the Sony Ericsson Mini so you can decide if it is the right smartphone for you.
The compact handset measures just 88x 52x 16mm, the front of which is dominated by the 3 inch LED-backlit LCD capacitive touchscreen. The screen itself is impressive with a resolution of 320x 480 which has superb display quality, and is able to display up to 16 million individual colours, making it a great phone for multimedia use. The screen also has the manufacturer’s BRAVIA mobile engine buolt in, which calls upon Sony’s experience as a TV manufacturer, and enhances the display quality een further.
Onboard storage is 320MB, but there is a microSD slot built in which comes with a pre-installed 2 GB memory card. Users have the option of replacing this with a card of upto 32 GB, and by doing so storage is unlikely to ever be a problem. This feature also makes it good for multimedia use as music tracks, video files and games etc can be stored within the device.
As with any smartphone the Sony Ericsson Mini offers fast internet browsing, through both 3G connectivity and Wi-Fi where available. In areas with 3G coverage, download rates are a respectable 7.2 Mbps, whilst a superior connection is achieved where Wi-Fi is available.
The Sony Ericsson Mini is also a highly competent cameraphone with a 5 megapixel offering on hand to take high quality snapshots. It comes with several image enhancing features such as image stabilization, smile and face recognition and auto-focus as well as geo-tagging. A resolution of 2592x 1944 means the resulting images are of very good quality and as added bonus users can also shoot high definition video footage in 720p.
On the software side of things, the Sony Ericsson Mini runs Android 2.3 as its operating system of choice. This is the latest version of the increasingly popular software and comes with numerous handy features as well as the standard Google web tools features on all Android handsets; Search, Maps, Gmail, GTalk etc. To provide the necessary computing power, a 1 GHz processor is on hand to help things run smoothly under the hood.
