Sony Ericsson Vivaz - Small and light full-touchscreen smartphone



Sony Ericsson's first Symbian S60 phone was an epic disaster, at least for us. It was by far one of the most annoying phones I have ever used and the software was so badly put together that using the phone was painful. It did not even matter to us that it had a 12 megapixel camera with xenon flash with very good picture quality. The poor software made everything else irrelevant, making the phone almost unusable. Not to be deterred with failure, Sony Ericsson decided to experiment with Symbian again and came up with yet another smartphone, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz.


The Vivaz brings with it a new hardware design with features that are just a notch below than that of Satio. Okay. But the hardware wasn't much of a problem with the previous phone, it was the software. Unfortunately, Vivaz still runs on the same old Symbian S60 5th Edition operating system.



Plus Points :
Beautiful design, ultra small and light weight, good display quality, plenty of features, good audio quality (headphones), HD video recording with continuous autofocus


Minus Points :
Poor interface design is frustrating, frequent application crashes, sluggish camera interface, poor implementation of flash in camera, camera quality could have been better
