How about Sony Ericsson w550c?

For this mobile phone, it has many titles, such as the second member of the WALKMAN family, the second rotating mobile phone of Sony Ericsson. Although this kind of evaluation will inevitably give people the impression of "the second child of the Millennium", it will never affect its becoming a hot product with very high attention in the near future.

As the second member of the WALKMAN family, Sony Ericsson W550c continues the rotary modeling of S700c, but its body is much smaller and more exquisite. Its measurements are only 93×46×22mm, and its weight is 102g. If a female friend who likes S700c still needs to hesitate because of her figure, it is not a problem for W550c at all. The machine also has a blue and white original shell, which is suitable for friends with different tastes.

In the closed state, the front of Sony Ericsson W550c is mainly occupied by the screen. This machine adopts a 260,000-color TFT screen with a visual area of 1.8 inch and a resolution of 176×220. Although the visual area and resolution are not top-notch, considering that W550c is mainly aimed at the market positioning of music mobile phones, Sony Ericsson's approach is understandable, and the display effect of W550c can definitely be called excellent in the same level of products.

Compared with the discontinued Sony Ericsson S700c, the W550c has two shortcut keys for surfing the Internet and music, one for the left and the other for the right, while the five-way navigation, the left and right functions, and the back and delete keys are still arranged in order at the bottom of the screen. It is worth noting that Sony Ericsson specially arranged two plastic buttons on both sides of the receiver of W550c, but it only makes sense in some games, and it is invalid at other times.

The side keys of Sony Ericsson W550c are all arranged on the upper layer of the fuselage. On the left is another music play (long press is effective) key and body lock key, and on the right is composed of volume control and photo shortcut key. On the next floor here, there is also an infrared port and a W550c metal mesh speaker 2 (speaker 1 is the receiver). The on-off key is naturally arranged at the top of the fuselage, while the data line/charging interface is still "firmly guarded" at the bottom of the W550c.

With the slow rotation of Sony Ericsson W550c, the close interface of the dust cover will turn to the top of the fuselage. Sony Ericsson is very experienced in handling mobile phone hinges. So far, Bian Xiao has not heard any consumer complaints about the S700c. W550c inherits this fine tradition well, but users should be reminded that when closing W550c, they must delay in the opposite direction of opening, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ...

Unlike the metal function keys exposed outside the fuselage, the numeric keys of W550c are made of plastic and the background light is orange. This combination makes it more fashionable and young in the environment of insufficient light, and also makes the "orange walkman music style" advocated by Sony Ericsson more deeply rooted in people's hearts. In order to make way for the rotation, the numeric keys of W550c are designed in a concave shape, but generally speaking, they feel good and easy to use.

W550c adopts 40 chord bell system, and its speaker 3 is arranged at the upper right of the back of the fuselage. This machine always has three metal mesh speakers, which is why Bian Xiao uses digital labels when introducing them. On the one hand, Sony Ericsson can improve the release effect of W550c; On the other hand, it can ensure that when the mobile phone is put in a pocket or bag, the user will inadvertently block a speaker and will not miss an incoming call or text message.

On the left side of the speaker 3 on the back of the fuselage is the camera module of Sony Ericsson W550c. Like the predecessor S700c, the W550c is also equipped with a non-autofocus CMOS camera, and the effective pixel is 13 1000. Together with it, it is designed on a metal plate, and there is also a selfie mirror with a small reflection area. The flash lamp is independent of itself and arranged in the upper left corner of the back, just tangent to the raised metal disk.

Sony Ericsson W550c does not adopt the drawable battery compartment design similar to that of K750c and W800c, but still maintains a simple battery cover style to match the "Style-Up colorful shell". Hidden below is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 3.7V 900mAh. During our evaluation, based on the daily 10 minute call, 20 short messages, 2 hours of music and 5 photos, we can persist in the standby time of 3 days and 2 nights, which is admirable!

Under the default orange theme, Sony Ericsson W550c is a standard menu in 12 Palace format. The animation effect of the icon is still so smooth, and the text submenu can automatically display the currently set content when the cursor moves, which is very convenient. W550c * * * has 20 dynamic and static standby pictures, 2 HD videos, more than 30 MIDI/MP3 ringtones and 3 themes. They only occupy the tip of the iceberg of 256MB memory.

Like many mobile phones, we can add mobile phone memory and SIM card to Sony Ericsson W550c. The former has at most 1000 contacts, while the latter has at most 150 contacts. When adding contacts to the phone memory, users can select from five categories by pressing the left and right arrow keys, such as email address, website, picture, ringtone, professional title, company, street, city, province, postal code, country/region, information, birthday, etc.

Sony Ericsson W550c-* * has two input methods: pinyin and strokes, and three input languages: English, standard abc and numbers. When we use the infinite association function to input 50 words in the same short message at a time, the word count window will appear at the top right. When it exceeds 70 words, the system will give you a prompt, telling you that the following contents will be sent in the second article. The machine also supports full copy, partial copy and paste editing functions, which is very convenient.

Although the memory can't be expanded to 2GB by using a third-party memory card like the W800c, the W550c with 256MB of super memory is still a powerful warrior in the WALKMAN family. This machine can play music files in MP3, M4A (note: files with AAC suffix are unrecognizable) and MIDI formats. I would also like to remind friends who plan to buy this product that music files in MP3 and M4A formats can be placed in any path, but the music system stored in the audio/ringtones folder will not be added to the player.

The music playing interface of W550c is the same as that of W800c. After starting, you can find music in three ways: artist, all and playlist. In addition to displaying the basic information of the file, the position and playing time of the current working track will also be listed in the lower position. Enter more through the right function key, and you can choose two playback modes: random and cyclic, and five equalizers: normal, bass, subwoofer, voice and treble enhancement. In addition, basic functions such as play, pause, forward and backward can be completed by navigation keys, which can be said to be humanized and professional.

Perhaps thanks to the kinship with Sony, the playback effect of W550c is excellent. Especially the realism of the scene, the original in-ear earplugs tightly block the ear holes, creating an irresistible temptation. Although it may be uncomfortable for a long time, the excellent expression of "sweet high notes, accurate midrange and heavy bass" is still worth it. Sony Ericsson W550c is very compatible with MP3 music files with different compression ratios. With the continuous improvement of compression ratio, it also feels the improvement of sound quality.

Because the products of Sony Ericsson WALKMAN family all adopt the design of earphone wire control, it also provides convenience for users to replace their favorite 3.5mm headphones. However, Bian Xiao is only an amateur primary audio lover, so it is good enough to have only one hanging ear "iron triangle" EM7. However, due to the large impedance of this product, which is1100mw32, the latter feels a little overwhelmed after being used with W550c, especially the bass turbidity becomes very strong. Here we also suggest that you choose headphones with smaller impedance for W550c.

Most of Sony Ericsson's high-end mobile phones have the function of FM stereo radio, and W550c is no exception. There are three search methods: automatic, fine-tuning and manual input, and 20 favorite channels can be pre-stored. Minimize and hide in the background, so you can do other operations on your phone. Bian Xiao found the 14 channel in his home near Liangmaqiao in the East Third Ring Road. It can be said that the received signal is stable and has strong anti-interference ability.

In Entertainment, we saw the same video DJ, photo DJ and music host as K750c. Their purpose is basically the same, that is, to add many materials in the memory of the mobile phone, such as music, video clips, photos or text templates, to the storyboard, enter the preview state after some simple editing work, and choose to save after confirmation, and the mobile phone will start processing according to your requirements and make your own personalized things.

Because I used the licensed version of W550i in Hong Kong before, I found a lot more when I entered the "Games" menu of Sony Ericsson W550c. In addition to the well-known Battle of Worm Castle, 3D skateboarding and the Arena of God of War, there are also Monopoly 2' s trip to China, Lianzhong Gobang and Lianzhong Fighting the Landlord. It should be noted that the latter two games can only be used after GPRS is registered.

W550c has also done a good job in JAVA application, especially the addition of QQ and mobile phone bidirectional dictionary, which is in line with China's national conditions. And "world clock" and "news reader" may be more suitable for those busy business people. Everyday gadgets, such as alarm clock, calendar, task, memo, countdown timer, stopwatch, lamp, calculator and code memo, are all hidden in the menu "Manager".

Sony Ericsson W550c still uses the horizontal full-screen viewfinder of S700c era. I wonder what consideration Sony Ericsson is based on. If the phone is turned on, the system will not start the camera software, and will give a prompt "Please close the phone cover and use the camera". Although W550c doesn't have the auto-focusing ability like K750c and W800c, the camera software is well designed. Let's have a look.

W550c has four shooting modes: normal, panoramic, photo frame and continuous shooting, with three resolutions: 1280× 1024, 640×480 and 160× 120, and five white balances: automatic, daytime, cloudy, fluorescent and incandescent. The picture quality is normal, no problem.

In addition, we can selectively turn on the time and date label, activate the night mode or turn on the flash in the menu.

The so-called "panoramic shooting" means that the system organically combines three pictures taken by users. This function is not common in other brands of mobile phones. You can refer to the photo sample released below. In addition, if the shooting mode is selected as photo frame, the resolution will be automatically adjusted to 640×480. In addition, Sony Ericsson W550c can shoot unlimited 3GP audio and video with the resolution of 176× 144, which is the icing on the cake for entertainment function.

Sony Ericsson W550c has three wired and wireless transmission modes: infrared, Bluetooth and USB data cable. As usual, we first tested its Bluetooth transmission speed. When receiving an MP3 file with a capacity of 2.5MB from Bian Xiao's own notebook, it only takes 1 min 05 seconds. This achievement is enough to stand out among many Bluetooth phones.

The next step is naturally the test of data line transmission speed. First of all, let's announce our test environment: Bian Xiao's notebook hardware is basically: P-M 1.6 CPU, 768MB memory, 60GB(5400 to 8MB cache) hard disk, full-speed USB 2.0 interface, and the operating system is Chinese version of Windows XP Professional SP2.

When we connect Sony Ericsson W550c to the computer, we don't need to install any drivers. The system can be recognized as a mobile disk with a total capacity of 225MB, and the mobile phone will automatically enter the USB port charging state. Bian Xiao first selects 40 MP3 music files with a total capacity of 200MB and transmits them to W550c at one time, which takes * * * 17 minutes and 5 1 second. This transmission rate is basically the same as that of W800c, which is equivalent to the actual transmission speed of USB 1. 1.

The JAVA extension of Sony Ericsson W550c is based on MIDP 2.0 environment. Because it can also support the mobile 3D graphics API that makes the game more realistic, it can not only install and run all two versions of JBenchMark smoothly, but also complete the challenge of JBenchMark 3D. K750c scored 4 197, 3 1 1 and (126, 209, 18422, 1376) in three tests, among which JBenchMark I and 3D.

Although Sony Ericsson W550c is not as good as S700c in screen configuration, and not as good as big brother W800c in expansibility and photography, its comprehensive performance makes its current price of 3,000 yuan quite cost-effective. Moreover, the tide of music mobile phones is unstoppable, and Sony Ericsson will not let its product line only be positioned at the high end. Generally speaking, W550c is very suitable for friends who value the sound quality of mobile phones. With the addition of mainstream functions such as 1.3 megapixel camera, infrared and Bluetooth, the market prospect is brighter.
