Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 - The True iPhone Contender

Finally, a phone that is better than iPhone in features and performance. Sony just introduced their newest phone with Touch screen called XPERIA X1. The X1 would be the first product in the XPERIA series that Sony plan to introduce in coming months.

A New Experience

I believe that is what meant by XPERIA. A new experience in smart phones that all started with the iPhone. The standard feature of such phones is a touch screen with loads of features. This phone also has such a screen and it is believed that Sony developed a new user interface called “panel” for the Windows Mobile OS 6 exclusively for this particular phone.

This interface shows nine tiny tiles that represent individual application windows. When touched, they open up to display the application using a smooth animated style. The new experience also comes with a full QWERTY keyboard, 3-inch widescreen display capable of producing a resolution of 800 * 480 pixels. This phone also feature a 3.2 Mega Pixel camera that iPhone really lacked.

XPERIA also feature the brand new arc slider design that easily slides the display part over the QWERTY keyboard. The other features are: full multimedia capability, full internet capability with wi-fi, an internal memory of 400MB, a MicroSD slot, Bluetooth, A2DP and aGPS.
