Sony Xperia SL: Overview of SL's main features

Sony Mobile's Xperia smartphone series is starting to confuse me - Are you going to use only alphabets for name for everything else too? I love the name 'iPhone 5' or 'Samsung S3' or 'Nokia Lumia 920' (man, I love the name 'Lumia'). Sony isn't relenting on Xperia, however, and has now brought in the Sony Xperia SL - another HD, fast android smart phone that is banking on its HD functionality and high photo imaging features promised by its big 12 Megapixel camera. The SL is said to be certified as having the sharpest HD display of the entire Xperia series smartphones.   

The Xperia SL has brought back the original WALKMAN app. I'm thinking that the sudden interest in old classics like the Sony Ericsson Walkman w995 forced Sony to incorporate popular features in the more advanced android models. The Xperia SL comes in the colors pearl, black, pink and white.   

For starters, the Xperia SL has High-Definition 4,3” Reality Display which is pushed by Mobile BRAVIA Engine. According to Sony Mobile the Xperia SL's HD screen has the highest pixels per inch (PPI) of any Sony smartphone to date and is certified as the sharpest+ HD smartphone display. You can capture videos all in full HD video (or click still images from your videos). Just download Sony’s Frame Grabber app from Google PLAY and you are on.

Another cool thing about the Xperia SL is the mobile device's super fast dual core 1.7 GHz processor. The latest version of the Xperia Android is so fast you need no longer have to face the inconvnience of typing in password locker - just use your face. The imaging is so fast with the dual core 1.7. Thats why you can, video chat man -  You can also chat face-to-face with your girlfriend via the Xperia SL’s HD front-facing camera, cool na?

The new Sony WALKMAN app a small upgrade of the original Walkman makes its presence felt in the Xperia XL. There is a manual equalizer, surround sound and an intuitive user interface. You can also share your music files by the wireless One-touch Listening and listen on NFC speakers. 

Another feature of interest in the Xperia SL is the functionality it offer users to view photos and videos on a big screen - one has to simple swipe the display to watch it all on a tablet, TV or laptop via DLNA. Alternatively, users can simply plug the smartphone into a HDTV’s HDMI port to view the images and videos.

Now here's the on spec that yopu have been wiating for: The camera. kThe Sony Xperia SL comes with a big 12 megapixel fast capture camera. Accoridng to Sony, the shutter is sleep-to-snap of in just one second. Also in low lighit, yopu can take lighter images with the Xperia XL's Exmor R™ cell phone camera sensors to 'lighten up any gloomy day.' Oh, there is the photo app Instagram and other photo effects.

The only UC Browser version that works on Samsung Wave 525 (Bada OS)

It's been about 4 years since the Samsung Wave 525 was launched. When it came out in 2010, it was one of the best mid-segment "smartphones" that hit the market. How many momentous, technologically-superior smartphones have come and gone since the Bada OS Wave?  The 525 must now feel like a dinosaur - and it is. In terms of its web browser, the most troublesome dinosaur ever. Prior to using the Samsung Wave, I'd used several other phones and none gave me any problem when using the internet as did the 525.  Browsing experience had never been so much a problem unlike the one the 525 gave me since i bought it three years ago. The various versions of UC Browser , a nifty little mobile browser that was touted to be the "fastest browser" for mobile phones that time, was the choice of wave 525 users. The only problem? In a world where every app and gadget was either android or windows, none worked for Bada OS (Samsung's own operating system). The Sams...
