Speaking of Sony Ericsson, I believe many friends will think of its photography and music camps for the first time. Among them, Sony Ericsson changed the K series that was previously photographed to? Cyber shooting? The C series named after the initials, and at the same time, major manufacturers are also vigorously launching mobile phones mainly taking photos, which has led to the decline of Sony Ericsson's photo series, but what about its flagship? Walkman? The popularity of music mobile phones is still unabated, and Sony Ericsson will always play different tricks on music mobile phones. Today, Sony Ericsson released three new Walkman mobile phones at this year's MWC exhibition, including W995, W508, which supports replacing ultra-thin flip with Style-Up color case, and W395, which is an entry-level music player. Today, this ultra-thin flip W508 supporting Tyler-Up color shell replacement came to our IT 168 mobile phone channel. In addition to supporting color shell replacement, what are the highlights of this phone?

Square and fashionable walkman style appearance

The overall design of Sony Ericsson W508 inherits the main features of the predecessor W980, presenting a square ultra-thin flip body with the size controlled at 93.5? 50? 14mm, its weight of 98 grams is also very convenient to carry. The Sony Ericsson W508 we received this time is a white version, which looks more elegant. In addition, the machine also has gray and orange versions, giving users more color choices.

Compared with the high-end W980, Sony Ericsson W508 abandons the mirror material and uses frosted material as the body coating, which effectively avoids the pollution of fingerprints and sweat stains when holding. It is worth mentioning that the machine supports the Style-Up color shell replacement, and a Style-Up shell is attached at random, so users can order more exquisite shell replacement and create their own unique fashion mobile phone.

Sony Ericsson W508 is Sony Ericsson? Walkman? Another flip-shaped series of mobile phones, because it is located in music, has a large touch button and a small touch button dedicated to music control on the front, and adopts a concave-convex design. Even if the mobile phone is put in the pocket, the user can control the music through the concave-convex buttons, and the three touch buttons will light up the lavender backlight when the mobile phone is opened and closed.

In addition to the touch buttons dedicated to music, Sony Ericsson W508 also embeds a mirror material on the front of the fuselage. While playing a decorative role, this mirror material hides an organic light-emitting diode monochrome screen, and there is a 3.2 million camera above the screen for taking pictures.

For flip phones, many users are very concerned about the handle of the flip and whether the central axis will be loose when used in the future. The flip style of Sony Ericsson W508 is somewhat similar to that of Japanese mobile phones. When fully unfolded, the angle is large and it fits the face very comfortably. When opening and closing the upper cover, it will accompany? Click? The sound is very reassuring.

After Sony Ericsson W508 opened the top cover, it used a silver-gray panel inside, adding a bit of sedate temperament. The machine is equipped with a 2.2-inch inner screen and is wrapped in black. On the left side of the receiver, a sub-camera for 3G video call is placed. After WCDMA is officially launched, this sub-camera will be used with 3G network.

The keyboard area of Sony Ericsson W508 is very wide, and each key is very large. But in the navigation key area, the design is unreasonable, and the keyboard design itself is beautiful. However, while maintaining the beauty, the feedback of the tablet keyboard is insufficient, and the green concave dividing line is used, which is too close to the left and right soft keys. In practical use, misoperation is easy to occur.

Sony Ericsson W508 side components are arranged normally, and the charger/data cable/earphone three-in-one socket is on the left. On the right side, a volume adjustment key and a screen lock key are designed. The main function of this screen lock key is to lock three touch keys for music playback when the flip is closed, so that unreasonable jumps and pauses will not occur.

The back design of Sony Ericsson W508 is much simpler than the distinctive front. Apart from Sony Ericsson's Logo and independent speakers, there are no other decorative elements to make the whole back return to its original state without affectation.

keep patience

The back cover of Sony Ericsson W508 is designed to buckle directly. Because the back cover is thin, you should shake it gently. After the back cover is buckled, we can see that the machine is equipped with a 920mAh lithium battery, and both the SIM card slot and the M2 card slot are in it. For this 920mAh lithium battery, after practical use, it can last for about 3-4 days by receiving calls for 20 minutes, sending and receiving 20 text messages and listening to songs for 2 hours every day. For a music phone, this endurance is commendable.

Your music is under control.

What has Sony Ericsson always been proud of? Walkman? The excellent sound quality of this series is still reflected in the W508. As a new generation of music mobile phone, Sony Ericsson W508 is equipped with Walkman playback interface like the previous products, and still uses a dynamic list similar to Sony PSP. When listening to music, users can play and jump through the three bubble buttons on the front of the fuselage, thus enjoying music quickly.

After entering the walkman player, the first thing we are given is a more professional music player interface. In addition, in terms of function, we have a more detailed classification management of music, which makes users more intimate and can quickly find their favorite music. At the same time, we have added support for surround sound and visual display. Here, users can add album covers and choose other pictures to express them.

In terms of music playback, the player is also very perfect, providing support for lists and multiple playback modes, and switching of various EQ equalizers. After entering the EQ equalizer adjustment, we see several common adjustments, such as normal, bass, super bass, voice and treble enhancement, and support user customization. Users only need to manually adjust and save, and your own EQ equalizer is born.

Since W908, Sony Ericsson has added the SensMe mood sensing function to the music playback function, which can classify the music in mobile phones and memory cards into four categories according to the mood, and users can feel different music according to their own preferences and mood at that time. At the same time, this machine is based on Sony Ericsson W508' s built-in motion sensing chip, which supports the high-sensitivity horizontal screen automatic rotation function, and can also realize the functions of shaking and changing music.

In terms of sound quality, Sony Ericsson W508 independent speaker is located at the back of the fuselage, with a large speaker hole and sound volume control in place. In the actual test, because the evaluated mobile phone does not provide the original earphone, it can only test its external sound quality. This machine has excellent performance for alto voice, excellent detail reproduction and good friction between lips and teeth. The sound quality is pure and smooth and the overall effect is excellent. I believe wearing original headphones will get better.

Sony Ericsson W508 still has built-in track ID and PlayNow function. Its Track ID function is that when users listen to a famous song, they only need to record an audio file and send it to the server. After a few seconds, the server can identify the song and send the information of the song to the user's mobile phone, which is a very convenient and humanized function. The PlayNow function allows users to know the latest information of pop songs at any time, so as to download the latest music ringtones and let you personalize your love machine at any time.

In addition to strong music function support, Sony Ericsson W508 also has a built-in stereo FM radio, which can interact with the camera function of the mobile phone, directly apply the photos taken to the radio interface, and fully share your life. Users of this radio can lock in a certain frequency band through automatic and manual channel searching, but like most mobile phones, they need headphones as the receiving line to realize external playback and earphone audition.

Record a good life

What models did Sony Ericsson launch in 2008? Walkman? Most music phones have added 3.2 million cameras, and this time Sony Ericsson W508 is still equipped with 3.2 million CMOS cameras. Although its 3.2 million camera software is not as professional as video phones, it is enough for us to take pictures for fun.

Sony Ericsson W508 supports shooting 2048 in camera settings. 1536 resolution photos, providing multiple mode choices; Support white balance and special effects adjustment. After taking a photo, users can use the photo restoration function provided in the photo software to simply correct the color of the photo to ensure the realism of the photo in color.

During the shooting process, the framing is smooth and the shooting picture is clear.

Sony Ericsson W508' s built-in video player supports video formats such as 3GP and MPEG4-4. During playback, the video is smooth and clear, and can be converted to full screen at any time through the built-in motion sensor. With the support of QVGA screen, it brings a good visual experience for users to watch videos, but its 2.2-inch visual area limit will make users dissatisfied when watching videos.

Dual screen and dual display

Sony Ericsson W508' s inner screen is a true color screen with 260,000 TFT, the resolution is the level of QVGA, the visual area is 2.2 inches, and it is matched with 240? 320 resolution, the actual color of the screen is exquisite, the color reproduction ability is excellent, the color saturation and contrast are well controlled, users can set five brightness levels, and have good visual ability at the right time.

Because Sony Ericsson W508 has a clamshell appearance, in order to ensure that users can answer the phone and enjoy music conveniently enough, the machine is also equipped with an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) external screen, which is hidden under the mirror, with 128? This external screen has a visual area of 36 pixels, 1. 1 inch, which supports the display of incoming phone numbers and some music information currently being played, and also supports real-time information, power and signals, so that some information can be understood without opening the mobile phone.

In terms of menu, Sony Ericsson W508 is not much different from other Sony Ericsson mobile phones. In terms of theme, in addition to a standard Sony Ericsson theme, there are three built-in dynamic themes, and users can download more exquisite themes to beautify their mobile phone screens.

Interesting and practical features

Based on the 3G network of WCDMA, Sony Ericsson W508 can use the secondary camera to realize the 3G video call function after WCDMA is officially launched. As long as both phones support WCDMA network, they can see each other. This machine has built-in video calling function, which supports changing display screen, switching between main camera and auxiliary camera, sound adjustment, video quality adjustment and other items. Because Unicom WCDMA has no numbering, it is impossible to test the actual call quality and whether the picture is delayed this time, but the video call function setting of this machine is still relatively perfect.

Sony Ericsson W508 has added a fun gesture control function. After the user turns on the gesture control option in the settings, he can use the gesture control function to gently slide his hand on the mobile phone, so that the incoming call can be muted or the set alarm clock can be turned off. The small round hole on the right side of the main camera of the mobile phone is used as the sensor of gesture action.

Sony Ericsson W508 pre-installed pedometer program in the application. The easy-to-use Walk Mate application can be launched all day. During this period, users can add frequently used functions to shortcuts. After starting the pedometer, they can use the shortcut button to switch to the main menu for other operations. The pedometer will run in the background, and users can recover and view it freely. This program can record the number of steps you take and the number of steps you need to take to achieve your daily fitness goals. At this time, put your mobile phone in your pocket and start exercising.

Strong transmission expansion ability

In terms of data connection, Sony Ericsson W508 has two transmission modes: data line transmission and Bluetooth transmission. After the data cable is connected to the PC driver, the machine can be used as a mobile USB flash drive, which is convenient for users to transmit or back up data at any time. Bluetooth supports A2DP Bluetooth stereo audio output, and users can connect other devices to synchronize, share and send via Bluetooth.
