The Sony Ericsson Satio - Finally Available In The UK!
Added: (Tue Oct 20 2009)
After months of waiting, the 12MP Sony Ericsson Satio has finally been released. But is it up to the challenge posed by its already available rivals? Let's find out.
Sony Ericsson Satio
There's no doubting the sheer power of the Sony Ericsson Satio. First and foremost on its list of awesome features is its key selling point: the Sony Ericsson Satio is the first phone announced for the UK to have a 12 megapixel camera. It also features technology culled from the Cyber-Shot range of phones, so, quite simply, the Sony Ericsson Satio is the single best camera phone in existence. However, it also has true smartphone credentials, as it features the new Symbian S60 Touch OS, giving it a sleek interface, bags of power, and the option to add on loads of third party software. It is, frankly, an astounding phone!
Samsung Pixon
Here we have another touchscreen mobile phone, the Samsung Pixon, and, to be brutally honest... it's VERY similar to the LG Renoir. The two mobile phones could almost have been separated at birth, and the Samsung Pixon shares many of the best, cool features. So, it has a huge touchscreen, a brilliant 8 megapixel camera, multimedia player, HSDPA, and GPS. Oh, and since this is one of the biggest buying factors nowadays, the Samsung Pixon is ALSO one of the best looking mobile phones on the market. However, unlike the Satio, the Samsung Pixon very definitely isn't a smartphone, so the Sony Ericsson Satio wins this fight.
Samsung i8910 HD
While the Sony Ericsson Satio has a marginally superior stills camera, when it comes to video, it's overshadowed by a phone from Korea, the Samsung i8910 HD. There's a very good reason for that. Whilst it, like the Samsung Tocco Ultra has an 8 megapixel camera, the Samsung i8910 HD is also the first phone to record true 720p HD video. Never before has a phone been able to capture video at that massive high resolution, and coincidentally (or is it coincidence? Maybe not...), the Samsung i8910 HD captures high-def video at the exact quality that Youtube display high-def videos at. It's very possible that the Samsung i8910 HD was designed with its main feature being the ability to get yourself on Youtube, in high-definition. And while both the Samsung Pixon 12 and the Sony Ericsson Satio have a 12MP camera, that's only slightly higher resolution than this phone, and the video on the Samsung i8910 HD easily surpasses the other two. Now add the sumptuous 3.7 inch screen, and a huge 8Gb of internal memory, and it's very clear that the Samsung i8910 HD shows the world exactly how mobile multimedia should be done.
