Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini – A hands-on with the little beauty!

Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini – A hands-on with the little beauty!

At a first glance, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini does seem that is too small to be comfortable. These fears were effectively dispelled when we began using it though. The 3.0-inch display may look small, but does offer a lot on one display. Even the on-screen keypad, in portrait mode, was more precise than we expected it to be. The TimeScape UI is the same as what we saw in the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. This updated device does have a much better build quality than the predecessor, and we are quite impressed by the overall package.

The phone has been uncovered. By god, it is small!

 

The re-done design and the new materials being used just make the phone seem a lot classier than what the price may unwittingly suggest. The rubberized finish on the rear panel is of immense help with the grip.

 

A dash of chrome to liven up things a little bit.

 

The cousins. The Mini Pro on the left and the Mini on the right. The Mini Pro is slightly fatter, considering it has a slide out QWERTY as well.

An all round look at the Xperia Mini. Minimalist design lends it a classy aura.

As a first impression, we were really impressed by what the Xperia Mini offers. It has a 3.0-inch display, which isn’t the most comfortable when you want to type quickly. However, the form factor is just supremely comfortable to use. The build quality deserves a round of applause as well. We have seen this available for anywhere between Rs 10k and Rs 12k at various stores. If a tiny Android phone is what you desire, go check this one out.
