Sony Ericsson Vivaz

24.03.10

MOBILE PHONE MAKER Sony Ericsson's Vivaz falls into its entertainment series of handsets. the same range populated by the Yari, Aino and the 12.1 megapixel Satio camera phone that we reviewed last year.

The mobile boasts a new design format that Sony Ericsson is using for the rest of the year, which is said to fit the natural curve of the hand. Improvements have been made over existing models, with the video capture quality being the most notable enhancement of them all.

On initial inspection the phone has the appearance of a budget handset, as it's very light with a very thin and flimsy removable plastic backing that takes up the whole of the rear of the mobile and doesn't evoke the image of a quality phone. This is bound to pass through many peoples' minds as they first remove the backing plate to place in the SIM card and battery. Look past these initial doubts, as looks can be deceiving, seeing as how this actually is a midrange handset with redeeming qualities. With the weight of the handset being only 97grams, it is one of the lightest handsets we've seen, and it also has a reasonable size at 107mm by 52mm and only 12.5mm at its thickest point. It's not too absurdly small, nor is it too large to fit in the palm of the hand and operate comfortably.
