Sony Ericssons Xperia X10 Rachael Phone Knows Your Friends
Posted in: Android, phone, Sony Ericsson, Today's Chili
All of a sudden, Google Android phones are everywhere: the Acer Liquid A1, the Samsung Moment and Behold 2, and of course, the Motorola Cliq and Droid. Well, add the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, or “Rachael,” to the list.
At present, the Xperia X10 stands out as perhaps the premier Android phone for amateur photographers, if only because of its camera hardware: an 8.1 megapixel camera sensor pushes the X10 into the point-and-shoot camera category, and the phone contains a 16X digital zoom, auto focus, smile detection, geotagging, and even image and video stabilization.
There’s one additional nifty photo feature: face recognition, which can
apparently identify up to five faces per photo and link them to your
contacts and social connections. If this works as advertised, it seems like a
real step up over other platforms.
The phone’s screen is a 4-inch, 480-by-854 pixel touchscreen that Sony Ericsson touts as “scratch-resistant”. TrustedReviews, which obtained a phone for a hands-on impression, reported that the touchscreen is capacitive. Inside is a 1-GHz Snapdragon QSD8250 processor and an 8 GB MicroSD memory card. The operating system is Android 1.6, however; Android 2.0 wasn’t listed as an option.
