Onliner.by continues to publish articles on the legendary phones of the recent past. Previously, we are the mobile merits of Siemens, and today we will pay attention to Sony Ericsson, whose devices were in deserved demand among young people thanks to musical functionality and advanced photography capabilities.

Before the merger in 2001, both Sony and Ericsson were successful mobile phone manufacturers. The Japanese had such popular models as the J5 and J70 on their account, while the Swedes should bow at their feet for at least T28s. However, trouble came to Ericsson - in the spring of 2000, the only factory that supplied the company with components for phones burned down. There was nothing left but to find a partner, which Sony agreed to become. For the next 10 years, the united Sony Ericsson pleased us with a lot of cool devices!

Sony Ericsson T610 (2003)

Already in 2002, the combined company released hit models T68i and T100, but the market was literally blown up by the next generation phone, T610, released a year later.

The model belonged to the universal line T (Talker), which included phones with a boring design and balanced functionality. T610 was just highly praised for its two-tone appearance, which was noted even at specialized exhibitions.

At an average price, the Sony Ericsson T610 had a good set of features for that time. Here you have a fashionable color screen, and Bluetooth, and a camera that can shoot at a resolution of as much as 288 × 352 pixels. It's a pity the case was flimsy and creaky. This circumstance did not prevent sales and allowed the newly minted company to take a deep breath - it went!

Sony Ericsson P900 and Р990i (2003 and 2006)

Almost 12 years ago, the Swedish-Japanese manufacturer launched the P900 Über smartphone. Huge 3-inch touch screen with a resolution of 208 × 320 pixels, spectacular flip-up flip, 128 MB memory card slot, operating system Symbian system, 0.3 megapixel camera. A poet's dream! Or rather, geek.

Sony Ericsson P900

It's a pity, but afford the standard high technology units could. The price of the device went off scale for $ 1000, which made the little thing a toy for the elite.

Sony Ericsson P990i

Nevertheless, despite the potentially small audience of buyers of such devices, Sony Ericsson continued to replenish the P line. One of the most interesting models was the P990i with a QWERTY keyboard hidden under the flip. The phone mercilessly slowed down due to the small amount of RAM - out of 64 MB, almost 50 MB were occupied by the system.

Sony Ericsson K700i (2004)

This phone probably still has someone at home. Many owners of the T610 switched to the K700i and stayed with it. Why did the model become a cult? Probably due to the fact that the developers in one device embodied the widest functionality for the beginning of the 21st century and clothed it in a nice body with a metal finish (then metal was held in high esteem no less than now).

Something ideologically similar four years earlier was proposed by Siemens in the form of the SL45 model. It also had all the most advanced plus a great design.

Sony Ericsson K700i has one of the best displays in the segment (176×220 pixels at 1.8 inches), 40-voice polyphony, 0.3-megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom (!), IR port and Bluetooth. And also - a cool transparent keyboard. The phone could play MP3s and 3GPP videos! True, the volume of the built-in storage was just nothing, and there was no support for memory cards, so the device was not suitable as a player.

Sony Ericsson K750i (2005)

Inspired by the success of the K700i, Sony Ericsson rushed to launch one hit device after another. It took a little to blow up the market - just listen to your fans and do as they ask. This is exactly what the Swedish-Japanese manufacturer did.

The K750i added a memory card slot and even bundled the phone with a 64MB Memory Stick Duo. Now you can listen to music and watch videos. But the main change was hidden under a massive curtain on the back of the phone. It was possible to activate the photomodule simply by sliding the panel. Autofocus and dual LED flash complete the benchmark, making it the ultimate Sony cameras Ericsson K750i perfection.

Profile journalists almost immediately recognized the model as the best camera phone, and many still consider the K750i the most successful model ever created by Sony Ericsson or Sony. And how many amateur firmware came out to the phone - today you can’t even count.

Sony Ericsson W800i and W810i Walkman (2005 and 2006)

In 2005, Sony Ericsson released the first phone under the Walkman brand. In fact, the W800i was an analogue of the K750i, only in a different case, with advanced headphones in the kit and slightly improved software.

It is curious that there was nothing particularly “musical” in the phone. The developers, of course, installed a good player, but there were no hardware modifications compared to the K750i. However, it was the Walkman that was heavily praised for its amazing sound. We think it's primarily about the strength of the brand itself and a good headset, which could not be compared with most of the mediocre-quality bundled headphones.

In addition, an unusually bright design went to the benefit of the novelty. The combination of white and orange, and even with the Walkman logo, seemed to scream about the musical essence of the phone. A lot of people fell for this and replaced their players with the W800i, although it was enough to buy other headphones.

Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman

A year later, the W810i Walkman came out. Instead of white, the bet was made on black, which made the orange accents look even more spectacular. Curiously, the phone has become one of the most counterfeited cell phones. The Chinese flooded the markets with the W800c clone model, which was much cheaper (and worse) than the original.

Sony Ericsson K790i/K800i (2006)

Obviously, after the success of the K700i, the manufacturer began to pay the most attention to the K line. After the 750, the K800i model followed (K790i did not differ in anything, except for the lack of 3G support).

Again, Sony Ericsson has improved the previous model and made another uncompromising phone. This time, a 3.2-megapixel camera with a xenon flash was installed in the device. The photo capabilities of the Sony Ericsson K800i could easily give a light to the "soap dishes" that existed at that time.

True, the phone has a worthy opponent. Nokia, which came to its senses in time, released the N73 simultaneously with the release of the K800i. In the hardest struggle, both devices divided the market and the sympathy of subscribers approximately equally.

Then there were K810i and K850i, but still they were far from the popular love of their predecessors.

Sony Ericsson M600i and W950i (2006)

In the eventful 2006, Sony Ericsson brought to the world the first and the only phone M series. The line was supposed to include business models equipped with a hardware QWERTY keyboard. God knows why, but after the M600i, the phone manufacturer no longer released M-phones, apparently considering that they would compete internally with the P-line devices.

The M600i did not have a camera and Wi-Fi, and the first versions of the phone were different unstable job. Nevertheless, this model has earned its place in various ratings. The device received a large touchscreen display with a stylus and a unique keyboard, each key of which is made in the form of a rocker and is responsible for entering two letters (for example, "u" and "k"). In addition, Sony Ericsson M600i became the first Symbian 9 device with UIQ 3 interface.

Almost simultaneously with the M600i, the W950i came out. She completely repeated her business colleague, but was focused on wealthy youth. Since the need for a QWERTY keyboard has disappeared, it was replaced with a conventional numeric keypad. The keys are not touch sensitive, as you might think, but simply hidden behind a flexible plastic. But there are convenient hardware player control buttons.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 (2008)

By 2008, the company was ripe for the release of smartphones under Windows control Mobile. At the MWC conference, the X1 model was announced - the ancestor of the Xperia line, which still exists today.

The massive metal device with a QWERTY keyboard that slides out at an angle and a 3-inch resistive screen looked solid and was expensive. A good 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and a memory card slot were also useful. Potential buyers were confused only by the price, which exceeded $1000. As is often the case, literally in a year the smartphone has fallen in price by half, and the students who collected money from lunches could finally afford to buy a dream.

Xperia X10 was very popular in our area. Again, due to the sharp decline in price shortly after the release. The fact is that already on the day of release, the smartphone was running on an outdated android versions. The update was released almost a year and a half later, however, some device functions did not work correctly (for example, multitouch). I had to sell stocks of Xperia X10 at bargain prices. This, of course, pleased the buyers, but negatively affected the position of Sony Ericsson.

At the end of 2011, Ericsson agreed to sell its stake in the joint venture to Sony. The deal cost the Japanese a billion euros. There has been a lot of talk about how a new marketing campaign and a strong brand will fix things for the smartphone maker. Well, for four years now, Sony has continued to cling to the smart phone market. True, the position of the company can hardly be called stable.

Today, as part of a series of nostalgic materials about legendary phones, we recall the fruits of almost a decade of cooperation between Sony and Ericsson. Both companies had experience in creating mobile phones before cooperation, so it is not surprising that they got really worthwhile and popular devices. The collaboration began when the Philips plant in New Mexico, which supplied electronics for Ericsson, burned down and there were significant difficulties with restoration. The company had to look for other partners. Sony became such a partner; Since 2002, Sony Ericsson phones have been produced. In 2011, Sony bought out the part that belonged to Ericsson and began to produce devices under its own brand.

Sony Ericsson T68i

Let's start with the Sony Ericsson T68i, it was released in 2002 and was a rebranded Ericsson T68 (which was the company's first color phone and just a very successful model). In addition to the logo, name and some color changes The phone did not change anything (hardware). The firmware of the phone was improved, although the Ericsson variant could be updated to the current version. It was a classic keyboard "monoblock" with STN-screen with a resolution of 101x80, which displayed 256 colors. The device supported SMS, EMS, MMS, Email, WAP 2.0 and xHTML. Were bluetooth modules 1.0b and IrDA. There was no own camera in the device, but if desired, it was possible to connect an external one.

Sony Ericsson T610

The next hero of today's article is very popular in his sony time Ericsson T610, which many still have in working order. The device came out in 2003 and had all the features that would be useful to a mass user (at that time). The gadget was quite pleasant in design, produced in three colors: red, black and blue. In all three cases, the keyboard unit was silver. At the ends of the device were buttons for volume control, camera start and WAP-browser.

The phone was equipped with a STN color display with a resolution of 128x160 which displayed 65K colors. It was one of the first mass-produced phones with a built-in camera that could take pictures with a resolution of 352x288. Sony Ericsson T610 supported MIDI ringtones, screen wallpaper changer, Java, GPRS, WAP 2.0/xHTML, was equipped with an e-mail client, infrared port and Bluetooth 1.0b.

Sony Ericsson K700

One of the representatives of the successful K-line of phones is the K700. It had already installed a TFT-display with a resolution of 220x176, displaying 65K colors. There were 7 lines of text on the screen. The interface has been significantly redesigned compared to previous models. Appeared "Settings Wizard" which, when turned on for the first time, explains the purpose of the main controls and suggests basic setup(date, time, copying data from the SIM card to the phone book).

The phone supported playback of MP3 music and video in 3GPP, although it was of little use as a player: internal memory(accessible to the user) was about 42 MB, and memory cards were not supported. K700 supported Java (MIDP 2.0) and the execution of a 3D engine, which made it possible to play even primitive, but 3d games. The phone was equipped with a 0.3 megapixel camera (640x480), which was able to shoot video with sound. attended wireless interfaces IrDA and Bluetooth.

Sony Ericsson K750i

This article would be incomplete without the legendary K750i, which was released in 2005 and was recognized as the best camera phone of that year. It was equipped with a two-megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash and the ability to shoot video. The chamber was closed with a retractable lid. The phone supported memory cards of its own format Memory Stick Duo and Pro Duo up to 2 GB, which already allowed using the K750i as a player and indulging in frequent shooting with the built-in camera.

The phone has been installed TFT color display with a resolution of 220x176, which displayed 262,000 colors. On the case there were hardware buttons for the camera, volume (responsible for digital zoom in shooting mode) and launching the music player. The gadget had interfaces Bluetooth, IRDA, support for WAP 2.0, GPRS, HTML and mail client POP/SMTP.

We look at what happened and what happened to the company, about which there are so many good memories.

At the end of last week, I returned from Sochi, where the official presentation of the new line of Sony Xperia X smartphones took place. About the trip - later.

I was thinking along the way. Over the past five years, we have seen first-hand the death of the largest smartphone brands. The all-powerful Nokia has virtually disappeared. Sunk into oblivion Palm. Almost dissolved Blackberry. Scary (and weird) things are happening to HTC.

The market is being taken over by wild, regularly lying "Chinese" who often have no respect for their customers - just low prices and/or attractive design. There is less and less real choice between really high-quality smartphones.

It's good that someone stayed. Sony of those who have withstood the onslaught of China and are slowly finding their niche - at least judging by the announcement of the X line.

It's time to remember what they pleased in the previous period of success - when they were called not Sony Mobile, but Sony Ericsson.

What I remember from Sony Ericsson times

Everyone will have their own model, their own story, so go to the comments - let's see who has what pipe :)

A lot of time has passed, but I remember these phones best of all:

Sony Ericsson T68i

2002

One of the first color phones I ever saw. I remember it with a convenient joystick, a cool shape and a pumped version of the "snake" in preinstalled games. Who remembers what it was called - special respect :)

Sony Ericsson W800

2005

Everyone was talking about him and really wanted to touch everything. This is what the Walkman brand used to do with people :) Brand colors, a stylized design theme and music player, plus a separate button to launch it - in principle, everything this phone could boast of. But Walkman itself sold the model in packs, and Java toys worked very well on it.

Sony Ericsson k750

2005

I still regret that I sold it at the time! The camera was simply incredible: from sharpness to color reproduction, there were no analogues on the market at all. Entire sites opened up, where people posted pictures from the k750i. Many more were interested in the mechanical shutter of the camera, a rare thing at that time. Tellingly, the phone itself also worked quickly. It was a real flagship, without "but".

Sony Ericsson T650i

2007

I was terribly driven along this tube. It seems that in the end I had 3 or 4 of these models. I really liked the design and quality of the case - it was a piece of metal and a display made of mineral glass, not plastic. The only downside is that the paint on the keyboard wears off over time. I still consider it one of the most stylish phones ever released.

Sony Ericsson M600

2006

One of the first smartphones on the market - 2.6 inch display. Advanced operating system - Symbian 9.1. And also an interesting rocker keyboard, as well as a physical scroll wheel on the side. Did I already say that it was touch sensitive and recognized handwriting? The M600 surprised with its "advancement", everyone wanted to hold it, poke it in the menu. By the way, in just 1 year the first iPhone will be presented, and such phones will sink into oblivion.

Sony Ericsson W580

2007

The last smartphone from SE in my collection. cool slider with good screen and a constantly breaking keyboard :) I got used to replacing it myself. Worked quickly, but otherwise not very pleased. It began to seem that the Erricksons were losing their grip, that Nokia was catching up with them. Time put everyone in their place, and then I changed 2 of these phones and eventually put the last one in a distant box.

What's cool with Sony now + share your stories

To be honest, until the last year I was interested in smartphones from Sony on a residual basis. They did not have such models that they not only surprised, but wanted to take them and buy them. Unless the huge "phablets" of the series Z.

But I left the presentation of the X line with a positive impression. It looks like Sony has finally decided what sees her devices - and what features she wants to make branded.

For example, now everywhere they will have rounded glass. The highest quality camera modules are installed. operating system are going to touch at least. The front bezels of the display are painted to match the body color (cuckoo, Apple).

Of the new Xperia X line, I was most impressed by the model XA, which we will tell you more about. In the meantime, it appeared on sale " middle class"- model X, 39,990 rubles.

Now share. What pipes did you have? And what can you tell us from your experience? Maybe something was kept in the closet? You can add pictures to the comments :)

Sony Ericsson was once the market leader mobile devices. But bad release Sony smartphone Ericsson Xperia X10 somewhat shook the position of this manufacturer in the market. Nevertheless, the brand continues to search for its niche in the Android device market. Several models have already been released, which, although they pleased the fans of this manufacturer, were somewhat behind flagship models other firms. In the summer of 2011, Sony Ericsson was presented to the buyers Xperia Ray. This is a pretty nice device in a high-quality case. Its main advantages are powerful multimedia capabilities, as well as a relatively low price.

Main characteristics

If you are interested in the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray smartphone, the specifications will give you more complete information. So, you should pay attention to the following parameters:

• operating system - Android 2.3.3;
• screen with a diagonal of 3.3 inches;
• 8 MP main camera;
• capacitive screen technology;
• RAM - 512 MB;
• built-in memory - 1 GB (only 300 MB is available to the user);
• there is a slot for a memory card up to 32 GB (there is a 4 GB flash card in the kit);
• battery capacity - 1500 mAh.

Appearance

Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray has a specific design. Of course, for its year of manufacture, it is quite acceptable, but today it may seem cumbersome and comical. But connoisseurs of this brand unanimously claim that the appearance of the smartphone was a success. Everything has a signature style, which makes this smartphone unlike other modern gadgets.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray is available in 4 colors. Fans of laconic and stylish solutions will appreciate white and black colors, and those who want something original can pay attention to pink and coffee-colored devices. Regardless of which shade you choose, they are all quite calm and do not hurt the eyes.

Materials and Assembly

Housing smartphone Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray is made of glossy plastic. There are small metal inserts on the side ribs. The quality of the materials is so high that even if the device is used without a case for a month, no scratches or scuffs will appear on it. Despite the fact that the case is glossy, it practically does not collect fingerprints (and if they do appear, they are completely invisible). The black model has a smooth matte finish. The materials, of course, do not have any outstanding characteristics, but the corporate design compensates for this shortcoming. Cell Phones of this line are assembled qualitatively. The only complaint is the gap between the case itself and the left side of the back cover.

The size

Sony Ericsson Ray cell phones are compact in size. With a weight of 100 grams, they are characterized by dimensions of 111x 53 x 9.4 mm. Such parameters will delight active people and lovers of practical solutions. The smartphone easily fits into the pocket of your trousers, jacket or jacket. And even in the breast pocket of a shirt, it is quite convenient to carry it. During operation and conversation, it is practically not felt in the hand, and therefore at first it is slightly unusual to use it. In general, users note the convenience of working with the phone.

Control elements

Sony Ericsson Ray cell phones are confidently beginning to abandon the block of hardware keys under the screen, which may not be to the liking of all users. So, the "Back" and "Menu" buttons have already become touch-sensitive. But the "Home" button with an interesting design and a characteristic drawing of a house remains mechanical. Also, this key performs the function of unlocking the screen, which eliminates the need to reach for the button located on the top panel.

Interestingly, the "Home" key has a semicircular shape and is located at the very bottom of the body. In addition, it is equipped with a luminous edging, which has several colors. So, if the device is dead or connected to a PC, the ring lights up in red. A fully charged battery is indicated in green. In the active mode, the button is illuminated with white diodes. And if you missed a call, SMS or other events, a green flashlight will flash. Many users found the location of the indicator light at the bottom inconvenient. But he, as many believe, has more decorative than practical function.

On the front side of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray ST18i is speaker. Above the screen is the peephole of the front camera, as well as proximity and light sensors. But this does not mean at all that you can use the function automatic adjustment brightness, because in this model it is not involved.

On the right edge of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray ST18i is the volume rocker. It should be noted that it is not very convenient due to small size. The stroke of pressing is almost not felt. In addition, it is quite difficult for people with large fingers to get to the desired area (especially during a conversation). On the left side is a micro-USB connector, which does not look very aesthetically pleasing.

Upper end occupied by the audio output and the power button (many users also find its location inconvenient). At the bottom is a microphone hole, as well as a keychain or strap mount. Despite the fact that this element is absent on most modern devices, it has not lost its relevance. For this, the manufacturer can put a "plus".

under cover

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray phone has a removable cover, which can be called an indisputable advantage, given that most modern smartphones have monolithic bodies. After removing the back panel, you will see the battery, above which are slots for a SIM card and a memory card. However, they cannot be installed without first removing the battery.

Smartphone Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray: screen

The device is equipped with an LCD display made using capacitive technology. Diagonal 3.3 inches determines the compact dimensions of the device. With a resolution of 845 by 480 pixels, the screen shows 16 million colors. On visual inspection, you can see that the screen is very narrow and stretched upwards. small physical size and a high resolution give the output a clear and juicy picture that pleases the eye.

Users note that the screen has an insufficient supply of brightness (at an average level). Nevertheless, even in bright sunny weather, the picture is well perceived. I am glad that the colors transmitted by the display look very natural. You can judge the quality of an image by the purity of black and white flowers. But the viewing angles somewhat spoil the overall picture. Even with a slight deviation, the image begins to fade.

This phone model claims to have proprietary technology called Mobile BRAVIA Engine. However, with the naked eye, you will not be able to tell the difference between the image being turned on and off. We can conclude that it is better to work in normal mode in order to save battery power.

The screen of the device is covered protective film. But to be honest, wearing it makes little sense. The fact is that the display is equipped with tempered glass designed to prevent scratches. And the film only interferes, distorting the image quality.

Is it convenient to work with the device?

Users say that if you are used to actively using your smartphone, this model will seem uncomfortable to you. This manifests itself in the following points:

• difficult to type in portrait orientation (especially if you have big fingers);
• in landscape orientation, there are an order of magnitude fewer misses on the keys, but the fingers get very tired when typing a long message;
• it is inconvenient to read information from Internet sites, and especially when it comes to news feeds (this is if you previously had a smartphone with a larger screen);
• there are some difficulties with navigating the Internet (it is extremely difficult to select small fragments of text or controls, and therefore you constantly have to zoom in).

A little about the camera

For a modern person, the telephone has long ceased to be just a means of communication. So, for many people, an important indicator is the camera. The main one has 8 megapixels. It is equipped with autofocus, as well as high-quality LED flash. Users may not like that it cannot be used as a flashlight (at least not by standard means).

The camera app is pretty self-explanatory. In shooting mode, you can see the number of photos that the available memory allows you to take. If you go to the video recording function, you will be able to estimate the number of minutes of the video that will fit on the flash card. There's also a settings icon that, when clicked, brings up a handy pop-up menu.

You can adjust the white balance, as well as select a variety of scene modes. There is an image stabilizer, but the naked eye can't see any improvement in the quality of pictures taken with the feature turned on. The presence of several focus modes is also pleasing, which allows you to focus on the most important details of the picture.

The camera works well in macro mode. From a distance of 7-8 cm, objects are displayed quite clearly. 9 out of 10 frames with text turned out to be successful. In general, in terms of image quality, this device can compete with some Samsung models and HTC.

Camera this smartphone has excellent speed. From the moment you click the icon to the launch of the application, no more than one and a half seconds pass. And the shooting operation itself takes place instantly. But not without a fly in the ointment. So, users note an acute shortage of a hardware shooting key.

Battery Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray

This smartphone has a modest 1500 mAh battery. The manufacturer promises about 7 hours of talk time, about 36 hours of listening to music, and 430 hours of standby time (which is equal to 18 days).

In practice, everything looks a little more modest. Full charge the battery lasted for 1 hour of calls, sending 10 SMS, as well as a couple of hours mobile internet. However, if you want to extend the battery life of your Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, the firmware allows you to do so. There is an extreme power saving mode that deactivates some wireless interfaces, reduces screen brightness and makes other changes in the operation of the device.

Interface Features

The device works under Android control 2.3 with a proprietary interface that combines the features of HTC Sense branded shells and samsung touchwiz. Of course, the firmware is far from ideal. So, for example, there is no smart dialing function. There is a strange message widget from social networks, which is on small screen looks ridiculous. But users will be pleased with a good branded player for listening to tracks.

Positive reviews

Many users have already appreciated the benefits of using the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray smartphone. Reviews about this device contain such positive comments:

• the sensor quickly responds to touch;
• good quality of shooting photos and videos;
• quite an interesting design;
• the small device is very comfortable in the hand and fits in any pocket;
• With one gesture, you can switch your smartphone to silent mode and back;

• a 4 GB flash card is included in the kit;
• there are metal fragments in the case, and the plastic is of excellent quality;
• it is possible to upgrade the device to a later version of the operating system;
• the camera is equipped with a face and smile recognition function;
• it is possible to record video in HD format;
• when photographing text, an excellent readable picture is obtained;

• recently the price of this model the smartphone has fallen a lot, and therefore you can buy a decent gadget inexpensively;
• good screen resolution gives a bright and realistic picture;
• great loud speaker that will not let you miss an important call.

Negative Feedback

Users of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray smartphone face some problems and shortcomings. Does not turn on or, for example, slows down. Many negative points are reflected in negative feedback users:

• a confusing menu that can take at least a week to learn;
• the user manual is absolutely uninformative, and therefore you will have to deal with all the intricacies of working with a smartphone on your own;
• the battery is discharged very quickly if you use at least some additional functions in addition to the telephone part;
• if you use the phone for more than 5 minutes, the case starts to get very hot;
• at the slightest blow back cover and the battery fly off;
• when listening to music, you have to unlock the screen to switch the track;
• hard to find a case for a smartphone;
• too narrow screen, which is inconvenient to control if a person has large fingers (there is a high probability of accidental pressing);
• after about a year of regular use, the device starts to hang a little;
• too weak vibrating alert;
• the front camera has only 0.3 megapixels, and therefore you should not count on high-quality selfies;
• it is inconvenient that the power button is located on top;
• hard to find replaceable battery on this model, if the "native" has become unusable;
• some users experience fluctuations in the operation of the mobile network;
• standard headphones do not fit (you have to use branded ones or buy a special adapter).

Conclusion

In the year the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray smartphone was released, its price was almost 16,000 rubles. Today it costs less than 13,000 rubles. Users have no complaints about the quality of communication, and the loudness of the device cannot but rejoice. This is a great option for those who like compact devices and do not have high requirements for software. We can say that this is a good "dialer" with good quality sound.
