Sony Ericsson Satio review

Network and connections
A high-end Smartphone launched on the market by Sony Ericsson, following its preview at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It offers high-quality technical solutions, starting with the GSM Quadband network receiver. It integrates UMTS support for advanced network functionality. Web browsing capability is advanced, with HSDPA support for fast data traffic. This way you can use the HTML browser to view pages and multimedia content. In addition, it is possible to take advantage of distributed Wi-Fi networks. To transfer data with other devices you can use Bluetooth, or the USB data cable.

Design and features
A distinctive style, elegant while maintaining simple and clean lines. The front has sharp, slim contours. The large 3.5-inch screen allows you to perfectly view every image, thanks to its 16 million colors. It is equipped with Touch Screen technology for intuitive and quick management of functions. The dimensions are really compact, with a thickness of 13 mm for 126 grams of weight. This way, portability and handling are guaranteed. The back shows a slight bulge, due to the camera lens cover.

Main features
The platform with which the Satio is equipped is Symbian Series 60 Fifth Edition. This is synonymous with efficiency and practicality, as well as expandability and customization thanks to Java support. Every basic management application is present in the standard configuration. You can manage E-mail from multiple accounts, also sending and receiving attachments in Office and PDF formats. Network multimedia content, such as Google Maps, is also supported. You can also manage your own Blog or contact friends via Instant Messaging. As for pure phone functions, worth mentioning are the hands-free speaker, voice recorder, and video call support, thanks to the dedicated front-facing camera.

Entertainment and multimedia
It is in this area that the Satio clearly sets itself apart from other high-end devices. In fact, it is equipped with a camera boasting as much as 12.1 megapixels. The photo quality is amazing, like that of a professional camera, relying on digital Zoom and Xenon Flash, Smile Detection, Touch Focus and Beast Pic to take as many as 9 photos in one second, so you can always choose the best image. The memory available in the standard configuration is 128 MB. However, to store large amounts of files, it can be expanded up to 32 GB, thanks to microSD cards. The media player will take care of faithfully reproducing music and videos. GPS support is also included, to integrate satellite functions such as navigation and GeoTagging. Finally, battery life is also good, with a duration of 340 hours in Stand-by.
