Design of Sony Ericsson X1 Xperia

People purchase a phone for the features that it offers to them but they are also sold in part by the design of the handset itself. The Sony Ericsson X1 succeeds in capturing the attention of buyers based on design alone because of the unique features that it incorporates into the design and the fact that these features are executed on the device in such a stylish manner.

The first thing that is going to attract someone’s attention in regards to the design of the Sony Ericsson X1 is the touchscreen on the phone. This screen is a three-inch screen with an impressive 65,536-color TFT WVGA display and a resolution of 800×480 pixels. There is a “touch autofocus” feature on the screen which allows the user to tap a part of the screen for better focus and to really take advantage of the big screen size on the phone. The home screen of this phone is a nine-panel tile-based screen which the user can customize based on personal preference and which utilizes 3D effects to make the phone not only functional but also fun.

The screen overlays a QWERTY keyboard that you see when you move the touchscreen upwards. This isn’t a feature unique to this phone but it’s a fairly rare feature and one that many people find to be really stylish. What is unique to this phone is the arc shape of the keyboard that sets it apart from other similar handsets and makes it look even more futuristic in design.

In addition to the touchscreen and the QWERTY keyboard, there are two additional design features which allow for navigation on the phone. The first is a four-directional navigation key. The second is an “optical joystick”. Any of these features may be used to navigate around the phone. You might think that these features along with the large screen size of the device all mean that the phone is bulky to carry around. While it’s certainly not the smallest of phones, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is well-built with lightweight materials and serves the user well as a phone that is easy to take with you. When released, the phone will be available in two colors – black and silver.
