Hey, folks! See what we got in hand? The successor to the XPERIA X1, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 with full of industry leading features- the first Windows phone runs Windows Mobile 6.5 and sports 8MP camera with touch focus, bringing Flash support in Internet Explorer Mobile and Microsoft's app store, larger display, new keyboard and navigational keys design. Let’s show you what to expect from the first Windows phone of Sony Ericsson.
In the package, we have the phone, a Battery, a charger, a handsfree, a USB cable, TV-out cable and Manual.
Most of the front of X2 is taken by the 3.2” touch screen which is bigger than the previous ( X1got 3” only), and it's a real fingerprint magnet.
XPERIA X2 is available in two colors: Elegant Black and Modern Silver.
Here is the one in Silver. The 4-row QWERTY keyboard of X2 features a new overall design, which is distinctive in terms of shape and design compared to X1.
Here is the one in Black. We are definitely pleased at the QWERTY keyboard of X2, as it is very responsive. The only thing is that the plastic material doesn't impress at all.
On the top of X2, we find the 3.5mm audio jack which also doubles as a TV-out port. And the power key is just along with it- the same position as on the previous X1.
The back of the X2 is made from stainless steel (actually, it seems like plastic) and is quite immune to fingerprints. It hosts the 8.1MP autofocus camera with LED flash, and the lanyard eyelet is just next to it.
On the left side of the device, you may find the microSD slot. It is only accessible after the removal of the back cover.
The new version of the Internet Explorer Mobile web browser has received a nicer touch-optimized interface and a cooler design. The large optical trackpad on the front panel is providing high level of enjoyment as well when you brows on the web.
For sure, Sony Ericsson is always synonymous with portable media players and cameras. 8.1 MP camera with the Multi Menu packing all the available settings to facilitate the user experience.
The X2 runs on Win6.5 which upgrades the old-school ver. 6.1 with a brand-new and much prettier homescreen- displays all your applications and links to system functions in a honeycomb grid and consists of a scrollable list, as on the iPhone. And The Xpanel interface is still there with 14 panels preloaded on the smartphone and 16 others available for download, including those for Skype, CNN, and Google. With all interface improvements and 8MP camera onboard, the Sony Ericson X2 is the top and high-end Windows-powered handsets which give a good run for you money.
