The company's latest attempt, then, is the Xperia X8. It sits somewhere between the X10 mini and full-size X10 in terms of size, making for a small-but-not-tiny Android smartphone. It's also relatively inexpensive at just £130, or free on £15pm contracts.
In terms of size, the Xperia X8 straddles the middle ground between the bulky Xperia X10 and the petite Xperia X10 mini. It has a 3-inch 320 x 480-pixel touchscreen, three hardware slits for Menu, Home and Back, and a convex backing. The X8 comes in white by default, although you do get an additional cover. This comes in a different shade with a gradient finish.
A power/keylock button, flanked by a micro-USB port and 3.5mm audio jack, sits on the top edge of the phone. You can lock the handset by pressing this, but you'll still need to swipe across the display to unlock the phone. Elsewhere, the volume rocker and camera shutter are on the right, while the camera and built-in speaker are at the back.
Given the lower price point, the X8 doesn't offer all the features of the X10. Aside from a smaller display, it also has a lower-resolution 3.2-megapixel camera. The quad-band GSM phone supports UMTS HSPA 850/1900/2100MHz bands, as well as Assisted-GPS for location services, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo wireless connectivity.
The 3.2-megapixel camera is as basic as it gets without autofocus and flash. It's dead simple to use with almost nothing to configure except switching between four scene modes. The picture quality is also nothing to shout about and would suffice only for casual snaps. The X8 captures VGA videos at 25fps.
The X8 is powered by a 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor which is the same as the one in the X10 mini. There's 256MB of RAM for running applications and 128MB of built-in memory available to users. We had no issue with the sound quality through the onboard speakers as they were sufficiently loud for most casual situations. Performance was generally fine, although it lagged once in a while especially when we were switching between applications.
