We’ve always been a fan of modesty, and although that’s just about the rarest thing in the mobile phone world, the marketing team behind the Sony Ericsson Satio seem to have pulled it off. Because with a 12 megapixel camera onboard (with a powerful flash, geotagging, face recognition and all that jazz) you’d think they’d be hollering about that in order to gain their wedge of the very lucrative cameraphone pie that is out there. But not so. In fact, the camera is mentioned as a mere side attraction, an added extra in the media mix that makes this thing all it is.
One of the main things that’s being touted about the Sony Ericsson Satio, in fact is that it favours no media. With unique standby panels existing on the full touchscreen menu, you can get direct access to what you need at the tap of a finger. Whether that’s music or video playing, HD an 3D gaming, online browsing or downloading, or of course that camera, it’s all equally accessible. There’s also an 8GB microSD card and some stereo headphones included (very rare with other manufacturers), so clearly Sony Ericssion want you to be enjoying this thing from the moment it comes out of the box.
But while the old saying goes, Jack of all trades, master of none, we think that’s far from applicable here as this thing masters just about everything it attempts. It might not be the smallest or slimmest smartphone out there, but for sheer wealth of options, slick design, lovely screen and all the rest, the Sony Ericsson Satio looks like it’s going to be a cracker.
