Sony Ericsson Aino is a musical mobile phone with great screen. It is, really an interesting model and is indeed worth attention.
Design
The Novelty from the Swedish-Japanese joint venture is very voluminous. It hardly fits in the palm, and it is clear that someone may not like it. Well, someone has a small hand. However, if you’re a lumberjack, a master of shovels and sledgehammers, or just a big man, then this is your size. However, everyone has his/her own taste. Want a great phone? Here’s a great phone.
What I personally do not like is the fact that it is not very comfortable to hold, the phone seems somewhat unpretentious, despite the verified design.
By the way, when we first met it we all thought that the device is fully touchscreen, and has no keyboard, seeing the large diagonal display. Half a minute later we could find the keyboard, moving the top half of the shell.
The quality of the materials used does not cause problems – everything is done solidly, reliably, on the reverse side of the cover is relegated stylishly executed corrugated metal insert. I really liked the decision.
Of course, inserts on the ends could also be made of metal, but it would make the device even more slippery, and, of course, will increase its value.
Oh, how nice it was to see in such a multimedia device standard 3.5-mm audio input, but alas … Sony Ericsson took up the old one and put on the left side the firm universal connector. On the right side there is the camera button and control wheel of sound, in the bottom we see the slot for the dynamics of polyphony. In short, everything is as usual.
In general, the device produces a pleasantly strong impression with a high quality and successful combination of materials and, of course, great display.
Display and keypad
It is equipped with a 3-inch display, with non-standard resolution of 240 x 432, high brightness (adjustable by hand), greater viewing angles.
Screen is convenient, comfortable to understand information. It allows you to read e-books, to watch photos and video. I will tell you honestly, Aino is suited for this purpose perfectly. You can watch images on your PC.
Interestingly, when the keypad is locked (the phone is closed) the screen turns into a horizontally oriented one. Simply put the closed device, go with a finger across the screen, thus removing the lock, you’ll see five icons multimedia features and … can chose what you want to run. Finger input is easy, because all the icons are large (even as beautifully drawn) and mistakes simply do not happen. The sensitivity of the screen is what should be. Just great!
Camera
In Aino is installed an 8-megapixel camera with flash. Resolution is impressive; there are users that pay attention to it. As we already know, the camera works only when the phone is closed. Interface is touch, you can take a snapshot by traditionally pressing the shutter button, or simply clicking on the screen by selecting the focus point. After 1.5 seconds the camera “catches” the focus and makes that shot. By the way a very amusing feature. As I already mentioned, it’s very convenient to control – the icons are large and well-painted.
Focusing speed is high, misses almost do not happen. You can assess the quality of images from a merely remark that the matrix starts to make noise even when adequate artificial lighting.
Entertainment
Yes, Aino does not belong to a series of Walkman, but the MP3-player will be enjoyed by all without exception, I am sure for one hundred percent. Music application is tastefully decorated. It’s nice that some of the settings slightly redraw that somehow distinguishes the shell of what we have seen in old models. Also, we note that the scroll bar to display the names of songs is located on top. If you flip phone, then it will turn taking a horizontal position and an image. There is no sacred meaning in this act, if you do not pay attention to animation styles. These are decorating tricks to please the user’s eyes. Most of all I liked the tape, which swirls while playing videos.
When the track comes to an end, it ends on one side of the tape. If anyone remembers, the way it happens in the recorder, it may cause nostalgia. There are more animations with CD, records, flying balloons, etc. This looks more than amusing.
Outcome
Sony Ericsson Aino will interest fans of products of the Swedish-Japanese joint venture. Moreover, everyone wants to hold it in his/her hands and play with touch screen. Price is 20 thousand rubles. For me Aino is a decent device, which has many pluses, at least a rich and complete set of gorgeous screen.
