The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a high-end smartphone based on Symbian S60 5th Edition (also known as the Symbian^1) and the same personalized interface as the software-updated Sony Ericsson Satio. The Vivaz comes with 3.2-inch resistive screen, Wi-Fi with DLNA, HSDPA, GPS, accelerometer, FM radio, 720MHz processor and OpenGL ES 2.0 support.
the Sony Ericsson Vivaz features 3.2-inch resistive display with the standard for a Symbian S60 5th Edition handset native resolution of 360x640 pixels. We do not have any major gripes relating to the screen sensitivity, given the particular technology it integrates. Naturally, it would have been much better if it was capacitive, but we can live with that. The resistive technology is easy to get used to and the learning curve is not steep.
The interface of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is personalized in the same way as the version available with the software-updated 12-megapixel Satio – a Flash-based theme developed by Sony Ericsson divides the screen into five separate tabs. Each of them offers varied functionality and conveniences like favorite contacts, Twitter following, browsing of pictures and videos as well as several shortcuts to functions that you are allowed to customize.
You can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi 802.11b/g or HSDPA 7.2Mbps and HSUPA 2.0Mbps. As a smartphone running Symbian^1, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is equipped with the standard WebKit-based browser of the operating system itself. It does not offer any novelty features alongside of what other Symbian S60 5th Edition devices deliver. Navigation is both easy and comfortable and the application handles heavy and complex websites without a hitch, but still lacks Flash support.
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is equipped with two navigational programs that we know too well – Google Maps and Wisepilot that is actually a 30-day trial.
8-megapixel camera, the HD video capture and playback functionality. Let’s first take a look at its rather mirthless and boring interface design that is virtually the same as the version running on the Satio. The available options are quite a few indeed, including several shooting modes, face and smile detection, touch focus and geo-tagging.
The chip the Sony Ericsson Vivaz integrates is based on ARM’s famous Cortex A8 architecture, but runs at 720MHz instead. Moreover, its power is clearly felt at not just HD video playback, but while working with the handset interface and applications as well. However, the situation changes in a snap when the total size of all files stored onto the 8GB expansion card gets near 6GB - the Vivaz became increasingly unresponsive during our tests and to the point we thought it had frozen. We plugged in another expansion card, just to make sure the boxed card is not faulty or something, but the situation remained the sam
