Xperia X10
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is one of the best smartphones of the year and with a sleek, super slim design is one of the best looking too. It has a superb 8.1 megapixel camera, vivid 4″ touch screen and 8GB internal memory.

It may be doing it in a slightly annoying way, but the advert does demonstrate exactly what makes this phone worth buying. You may not be moonwalking your fingers over the Xperia X10 Mini’s 2.55″ touchscreen, but you’ll do plenty of swiping and tapping and it will feel just as enjoyable as dancing.

GET YOUR XPERIA X10 MINI NOW

Sony Ericsson have done an amazing job in making the Xperia X10 as easy to use as possible despite its shrunk-down size. Rather than just using the same UI as its bigger brother, the Xperia X10, the Mini has gone through a redesign to make the most of all the space available.

The most useful aspect of this redesign is the addition of four customisable corner buttons. You can choose from a number of key features and programmes that these will link to, and because they are visible on every homescreen, you can quickly access any of your most important things with one quick tap of the screen.

The other useful feature on the Xperia X10 Mini is the Timescape app. This collates all of your messaging and puts texts, emails, calls and updates in one place. This means that you can read texts, emails and facebook/twitter updates from each of your friends in one place. This is a really polished little application that is a real timesaver and extremely useful.

Something really impressive on this phone is that it has a 600 MHz processor, which may not be behemoth 1GHz snapdragons that the big smartphones come with, but because everything is shrunk down, it feels incredibly speedy. In fact because there is less CPU intensive activity on the Xperia X10 Mini, it does many things quicker and more smoothly than even the HTC Desire.

And you can get this amazing phone on the new Three Mobile ‘The One Plan’, which gives you 2000 minutes, 5000 texts, 1GB internet, 5000 Three-to-Three minutes, 6 months Free Spotify Premium and a free PAYG SIM for a friend.

All of this costs just £30 a month.

Between the mammoth powerhouse that is the original Xperia X10 and the pint-sized wonder of the Xperia X10 Mini, pretty much all of the modern mobile phone needs are met.

Xperia X10 Original

The Xperia X10 can provide everything you could possibly want from a smartphone.

Even before you turn it on, it feels amazing in the hand. You can feel the work that Sony Ericsson have put into making this phone a real top quality smartphone. It looks pretty damn good as well, with a slimline design and boxy curves, it is certain to stand out and turn more heads than Apple’s best offering.

Once you’ve used the Xperia X10, every other phone you’ve ever used will suddenly feel slow and clunky. The very intuitive Sony Ericsson UI is layered over the increasingly brilliant Android OS. This combination gives you plenty of customisable widgets, shortcuts and programmes that mean you can tailor your phone to make your regular tasks as quick as possible.

On top of all of this, the Xperia X10 has a pretty sophisticated cherry on top in its camera. 8.1 Megapixels will make even the humdrum shot look amazing, and with an update promised for later this year that will introduce HD video recording, the Xperia X10 has a camera that can genuinely replace a dedicated digital camera.

The Xperia X10 Mini is a phone that perfectly shrinks down the smartphone experience into a pocket-sized phone.

With a tiny but chunky design, the Xperia X10 Mini is small without feeling fiddly, and despite its reduced size it feels like a really solidly designed phone.

With the UI redesigned to make the most of the small size, the Xperia X10 manages to retain the usability of a much larger phone, and the experience of using it is rarely frustrating. An excellent innovation is the four corner shortcuts. These mean that screen space is maximised without sacrificing shortcut access to your favourite features or programmes.

In such a small package, it is impressive that Sony Ericsson have managed to still give the Xperia X10 Mini a very good camera. It may not be the world-beater that you will find on this phone’s bigger brother, but it still boasts 5.1 Megapixels and plenty of auto-focus and face-detection software that will maximise the quality of every photo you take.

We’ve already compared the new Apple phone to the HTC DESIRE so now we’re here to compare it to an equally powerful smartphone: the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

The Xperia X10 has been hugely popular amongst smartphone fans, but can it possibly keep up with Apple’s new iPhone?

So without further ado, let’s start the comparison:

BUY AN iPHONE 4 ON ORANGE – FROM £25 PER MONTH

BUY AN XPERIA X10 WITH 13 MONTHS HALF PRICE AT £25 PER MONTH

Dimensions

Winner: iPhone 4
115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3mm, 137g

Loser: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
119 x 63 x 13 mm, 135g

The iPhone 4 might be very slightly heavier than the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 but is considerably thinner which makes sense considering its the world’s smallest smartphone. The Xperia X10 however has a humongous 4″ touchscreen and so we’d rather have a thinner, smaller phone rather than a larger, fatter phone – 2 grams extra in weight can’t take away from that.

Display

Winner: iPhone 4
3.5″, 960 x 640, TFT-LCD

Loser: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
4″, 854 x 480, WVGA

The iPhone 4 screen has an amazingly vivid retina display which kills the Xperia X10 for pixel count and resolution. Whilst WVGA is optimised to support wide video displays and a larger screen, that can’t quite make up for iPhone 4′s super-cool retina display.

Engine Room

Winner: iPhone 4
Apple A4 CPU, 512MB RAM

Loser: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
Snapdragon CPU, 384MB RAM

Both smartphones perform well under the hood. But though the A4 Chip runs at the same 1GHz CPU as the Xperia X10′s Snapdragon processor, the Xperia X10 will let you down in the RAM department.

Battery

Winner: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
8 hours 3G calling, 425 hours standby

Loser: iPhone 4
7 hours 3G calling, 300 hours standby

iPhone 4′s battery life which is 16% more than the 3GS doesn’t really bring the smartphone up to the standard of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. The X10 wins in both 3G calling and standby battery life categories.

Imaging

Winner: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
8.1MP, AF, Flash, 720p video capture

Loser: iPhone 4
5MP, Flash, AF, 720p video capture

This one is a no-brainer. The Xperia X10 is THE camera-phone of the smartphone world. We didn’t even have time to list all the features the Xperia X10 has such as smile detection but let me tell you, if you want great pictures choose the Xperia X10. As for video shooting both phones shoot in HD, so no contest there. iPhone might have iMovies video editing software but that doesn’t make up for the lesser camera.

Storage

Winner: iPhone 4
32GB

Loser: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
1GB + expandable up to 32GB

You would have thought we such photographic qualities the Xperia X10 would have more storage, but no, the iPhone 4 wins by a mile here. You can expand to 32GB by a MicroSD card but that won’t beat 32GB of internal memory.

Software

Winner: iPhone 4
iOS 4

Loser: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
Android 1.6

This would have been much harder to judge had Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 had the latest version of Android, as it stands the X10 is left stranded in the past as the iPhone 4 wins this one.

Mapping

Winner: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
Google Maps for Navigation (UK and US only)

Loser: iPhone 4
Nav apps, but nothing on board

Google Maps for turn-by-turn navigation or pay for an app that does the same on the iPhone 4? Xperia X10 hands down here.

Price

Winner: iPhone 4

Loser: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

The pricey iPhone 4 comes at a more affordable price this time, ranging from just $199. As were the Xperia X10 comes in with a hefty price tag of £459.99.

Conclusions

iPhone 4 wins here, succeeding in 6 categories over the Xperia X10′s 3 wins. They didn’t tie in any categories. It’s fairly simple really if you want a massively powerful phone, either of these will do… But if you want one with a super camera than the Xperia X10 is for you. But if you want the next best thing, than that’s the iPhone 4 for you.

The Orange Dolphin 25 contract comes with a free Xperia X10 handset, 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB data and 1 years half price. This gives a monthly equivalent cost of £18.75 per month and a saving of £150.

However if you prefer Vodafone, then the 600 comes with a free Xperia X10, 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 16 months half price. The monthly equivalent of this is just £20 per month.
