Sony Ericsson Satio

Back in February, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Sony Ericsson showed off a prototype  of an upcoming touchscreen phone they were working on, called the Idou. The biggest wow-factor of the phone was that it came with a 12-megapixel camera, and the world has been waiting for the company to launch it ever since. Quotes from dieticians

Now, it has finally come to Indian shores rechristened as ‘Satio’. The 12-megapixel camera is still intact, complete with autofocus, xenon flash, touch focus, geo-tagging, face and smile detection and image stabilisation. Able to shoot VGA video at 30 frames per second, the device also has a video LED flash to light up those night shots.

All of these pictures you take can be stored on the packaged 8GB microSD card (expandable up to 32GB) and enjoyed on the 3.5-inch touchscreen TFT (16 million colours, 360x640 pixels). This large screen display also means that you get to easily operate the custom user interface running on the Symbian S60 5^th edition platform, powered by an a 600MHz processor and 256MB RAM.

When it comes to connectivity, the phone has it all – 3G, Wi-Fi, EDGE, Bluetooth, GPS and A-GPS (with Google Maps), stereo FM radio with RDS, etc.

What’s more, the built-in accelerometer enabled the user to active gesture control and play motion-control games.

With an impressive battery that boasts of lasting for up to 11 hours of talk-time and 360 hours of standby time, the Sony Ericsson Satio rightfully claims the high-end price of Rs. 35,950.
