The Sony Ericsson Satio has had a great deal of press coverage recently for a variety of reasons, however what is evident upon reviewing the phone is the level of technology is distinctly advanced in many ways. From its 12 megapixel camera through to its extremely colourful display screen, the unit simply oozes style and sophistication.

The screen takes up the majority of the front face and delivers outstanding performance due to its ability to display up to 16 million colours accurately. Images displayed are simply astounding with a colour reproduction that is life like in many ways. The addition of an accelerometer sensor, which will amend the aspect of any displayed image dependent upon the orientation of the handset, is a welcome addition.

For further memory expansion up to 32 GB the integrated microSD card slot can be utilised.
In addition to the entertainment options, the phone comes with an impressive camera which operates at 12 megapixels and includes auto focus, face and smile detection as well as touch focus. A Xenon flash is also included which illuminates the subject matter sufficiently well for image quality to be excellent. Video can be captured with this camera at VGA quality which is 30 frames per second. A secondary camera provides the video call feature.
