Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray Is An iPhone Contender, Vodafone Exclusive


Vodafone will be getting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray exclusively by this month’s end, and is a value-for-money alternative against Apple’s iPhone.


The Xperia Ray will be powered by similar hardware to the iPhone 4, running a 1GHz Scorpion processor, 512MB of RAM and an Adreno 205 GPU. For those who aren't fluent in tech, that's some pretty decent hardware, especially if this phone is priced on the low end.
Admittedly the screen isn't as crystal clear as the premium priced iPhone. Stretching 3.3 inches, it uses similar capacitive touch screen technology and showcases 16 million colours. More impressive yet is its Bravia Mobile engine. Essentially the technology is derived from Sony's Bravia TVs and better contrasts vibrant colours with strong blacks for crisp video and picture playback.
Ray will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread, tweaked to accommodate some of Sony Ericsson's social networking and multimedia software. Including Sony's proprietary Timescape applications, Ray will combine all of your interactions, including social networking (Facebook, Twitter, 4square), calls, messages and also emails, into one pleasing graphic interface.
Camera-wise, Ray might even have it over Apple's iPhone. It features an 8MP (3,264 x 2,448) shooter, although with a light (and not a flash). There is a front facing camera too, and it can pull off HD video with 720p recording. Elevating the experience is Sony's Exmor R sensor, which derives from their professional camera line and filters light in dim areas to produce well coloured images.
