Here is a treat for all you Sony Ericsson fans – an exclusive Hands On of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 running on the Google Android platform. It’s the first Android phone from SE and it’s a pretty good effort !
We are sure most of you have been eagerly waiting for this phone ever since it was announced last year. After having played with it during MWC 2010 , the 4 inch display is gorgeous and the Timescape feature is interesting. The 1GHZ Snapdragon CPU means that its pretty fast .
The 8.1 Megapixel Camera with LED flash does take some good pictures . Timescape lets you access Social networks such as Twitter and Facebook and you can track updates from all your friends.
There’s MediaScape for organizing your media such as photos , music and videos and there is even Face recognition for photos.
On the connectivity front , it’s got Wi-Fi, Bluetooth , A-GPS , HSDPA and a microUSB connector. Memory is expandable via a microSD slot and not some proprietary junk.
Finally Sony has managed to cram in a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Talking about battery life , we were told that it gives about 1.5 days of runtime and excessive use means it will last a day
The phone runs on Android 1.6 and there is no information if there will be an upgrade to 2.0
