Sony Ericsson W8 Review -Spec and Design

Fresh from unboxing my Sony Ericsson W8 (Sony Ericsson W8 Review -Unboxing), it's time to share on the nitty gritty technical specifications on this tiny gadget, and what sets it apart from it's previous generation, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. In this post, I shall be sharing the specification and a short comparison of this latest W8 and Experia X8. This post serves as Part 2 of my review.

#1 To open the cover for access, just snap off from the side as shown.
Design wise, the W8 is a real piece of art as I found it both pleasing to look at, and light as feather. My iPhone felt like a brick when comparing their weights. Weighing at only 104gms, for a smartphone, no other mobile phones come close.

To open the cover, there was no sliding involved, as it just involves snapping the back cover out. It came off easily without much trouble. I was initially apprehensive that it will spoil the phone, but it was just needless worries. Inside we have the 1200mAH battery, as well as the the sim card and micro SD memory card slots.

The W8 came with a 2GB micro SD memory which should suffice for normal usage. Should you find you have too much songs or videos, you can upgrade to a bigger storage memory card. For me, the 2GB storage space should be more than enough for my daily needs.

When I brought this phone out to the office, quite a number of my colleagues commented that it looked exactly like its predecessor the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Smartphone. The Sony Ericsson Xperia W8 basically looks like a differently colored Xperia X8 with a Walkman logo inscribed on it. We have the same 3-inch scratch-resistant capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 320x480 pixels.

Do check out below on the detailed specification of Sony Ericsson W8 being compared side by side with the Xperia X8.

    probably the best way to utilize this phone is with the deal, grab the phone for RM99 and use the digi plan for a different phone. LOL
