Sony Ericsson Vivaz rules the point and shoot camera segment with aplomb, producing an 8MP still image resolution and 720p HD video capture resolution with continuous auto-focus. It is built on the Symbian OS platform, running at a core processor speed of 720 MHz, and offering the visual treat of a 3.2-inch resistive touchscreen at 640 x 360 resolution. All these goodies pack a punch into this smartphone, something that is difficult to achieve on any combination of a stand-alone camera and a phone we could think of. While serving a compact package, Vivaz still sparkles with a feature rich configuration that stands out in the elite league of smartphones.
