Sony Xperia X8

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is a mid-range 3G Android smart phone developed by Sony Ericsson in the Xperia series in released in Q4 2010. It is sold in many countries worldwide, including the United States on AT&T Mobility and low-end pay-monthly contracts in the UK. It originally shipped running Android 1.6 but was upgraded in early 2011 to Android 2.1.

The phone has a 3.0-inch (76 mm) capacitive touch screen LCD. It has a resolution of 320 by 480 pixels (HVGA) with 24-bit depth. At the back is a 3.2 megapixel camera with fixed focus. The photos can be geotagged. The camera can be accessed either through the touchscreen menu or by the camera button on the side of the phone. The Xperia X8 uses a Qualcomm MSM7227 600 MHz processor, has a 3-axis accelerometer and built-in GPS, a digital compass, an ambient light sensor and a lug for attaching a strap.
Multi-touch support was also added to several aftermarket firmware versions (ROMS) which enabled users to use basic multitouch gestures such as pinch to zoom, something that Sony Ericsson was adamant was impossible on the X8.
Sony Ericsson has made its own custom overlay on top of the Android system using an optimized version of the UX (user experience) interface, which consists of design elements, themes and custom applications. The four corners of the screen have replaceable shortcuts for commonly used applications. The main application is Sony Ericsson Timescape, a social networking application that combines messages from Facebook, Twitter, SMS and email into a flowing column on the home screen. Photos may be attached to contacts or sent to a Facebook account. The phone contains expected smartphone applications as well as: Wisepilot Navigation Software, Google Maps, YouTube, Sony's PlayNow Arena and TrackID (to identify a song by recording a small part of it).
Sony Ericsson was widely criticized by X8 users for failing to provide Android firmware upgrades to 2.2(Froyo) or 2.3(Gingerbread), who later stated that the phone's hardware was incapable of running anything beyond 2.1(Eclair). Surprisingly, they were proven wrong by the Android modding community, who released their own versions of Android 2.2 and 2.3 in subsequent months which ran quite stably on the X8.

Samsung Nexus Vision

Rawad Semaan sent me his design, the Samsung Nexus Vision, a concept phone based on the quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and also packing a 12 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and a Super AMOLED display that’s probably 4.5 inches in diagonal and maybe supports 720p HD resolution. I’m speculating on these specs since the designer didn’t reveal too many details.

When I see the Samsung Nexus Vision I instantly think about a combination between the Nokia N9 and the Samsung Galaxy S II for some reason. Get this baby Android Ice Cream Sandwich, some 1080p 60 fps video capture, LTE connectivity, 32GB of internal memory, 2GB of RAM and we’re all set. Of course, I’ve heard people saying that Nvidia Tegra 3 is not the brightest choice when it comes to quad core processors, but I don’t have faith in Intel Medfield or whatever they plan on bringing to the smartphone market.
I think that TI OMAP is the kind of CPU you want to get on a smartphone nowadays or even the Exynos quad core unit that everyone is dreaming about. What about you? All of you phone designers and aficionados, which CPU do you like the most for 2012′s phones?
