Frbiz.com, one of China's leading B2B search platforms with more than 30 B2B industry websites to its name, evaluates the Sony Ericsson X1/X2.
In appearance, the X2's body has curved design with a 3.2-inch screen, compared to the X1's 3.0-inch screen. Both screen resolutions are maintained at 480 800 pixels and support handwriting and touch-control. The X2 is more convenient to operate because of its 3.2-inch screen.
Not only is the X2's 3.2-inch screen bigger than the X1's, it is also wider at 1.4mm. The Sony Ericsson X1 uses metal material, while the X2 front body uses a high-polished plastic material. Also the back uses metal and joins the concave design, which, compared to the X1, has a better feeling in hand. However, the positive application of polishing material on the X2 prevents serious fingerprinting.
Both phones are using a common 3.5mm headphone socket with high-quality headphones. The data-line interface is arranged on the left side of the phone, but the X2 uses the latest microUSB interface, while the X1 uses the miniUSB. The data line usage is not the same for these two models; the X2's rear cover crossing design solves the X1's rear cover open problems. Volume control keys and the shutter button are both on the right side, but the operation of the shutter button on the X2 is better.
Both phones use sliding QWERTY keyboards with very beautiful arc designs. However, the X2 keypad area is significantly larger.
The Sony Ericsson X2 and X1 are equipped with the same 1500mAh Li-ion battery, the two phones have the same hardware configurations, and their standby times are also very close: half an hour calls, 10 SMS sending and receiving, 1 hour of music and 2 hours of other operations. The charge can last 2 days, so performance is still acceptable.
