Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 has been in headlines for a long time. All hot industry features can be found in this handset. The touch phone has dimensions of 110 x 54 x 16 mm and weighs 155 g. The interface of the phone looks very much similar to its predecessor Xperia X1; however, the phone also adds many features to the interface including interactive and animated home screens. Even if the phone's built is plastic it looks majestic due to its superior built quality.
The large 3.2" touch screen is responsive and it uses resistive technology. You need a stylus to use the touch screen at its fullest capacity. It supports a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and it can display 65K vivid colors. The display and backlighting is very good in the dark. Smooth and flat keys for navigation, rather than standard and traditional navigation keys, are applied on this phone. The D pad is converted into an optical pad which completes the touch sensitive feel of the phone.
At the back side, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 has keys for volume rocker and camera shutter. LED indicators available at the top and bottom flash in different colors depending on events such as calls, messages, or meeting. The 3.5mm audio jack at the top is also used as TV out port.
The fully functional QWERTY keyboard reveals itself as you slide open the phone. The buttons are arranged in four rows, but the design is highly functional. The curvy and recessed design of the phone makes the keypad extremely handy to use. The only offsetting feature with the keyboard is its plastic built.
The Windows 6.5 interface looks much prettier because Sony Ericsson has added its customization in the Xperia X2. The main menu displays all links and ClearType font rendering enables you to scroll through tabbed windows. Scrollable screens are a welcome addition to the new Windows interface. The preinstalled panels and UI of the phone looks good. Panels such as CNN, Facebook and Google provide instant and easy access to those applications. The new customized phonebook is of top notch quality both to look at and also to use. All the options and menus are touch optimized making it easy for people with large fingers to use Xperia X2 too.
The automatic rotating feature is not found in the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2. Orientation of the phone can be changed, but not automatically. The messaging features with Xperia X2 are adequate. There is a virtual keyboard which is pretty good to use with the touch screen interface. The Xperia X2 supports Wi-Fi and bluetooth connectivity. It has a GPS receiver too. Surfing the internet with new advanced internet explorer is a pleasure. There are 4 preinstalled games, and you can download more. The Li-Po 1500 mAh battery provides 500 hours of standby time, 10 hours of talk time and 20 hours of music play time.
