Here are some images.
Some first impressions:
1. The screen is really nice and bring. It is on par or even better than Arc/Acro.
2. Speaker is loud, louder and less distort than Arc/Acro, about the same as X10/mini
3. When connected to the headphones (I use a pair of ATH-CK100), the amplifier is better than the Arc, which does not have enough power to drive them.
4. The feel of the keyboard is great, much better than the old minis, however, the spacing on the top row is not quite enough.
5. Ran Quadrant tests, constantly getting 1500+, where my arc only reaches 1300~
6. Touch screen sensitivity is excellent, even more responsive than Arc/Acro.
7. Front camera is ok for taking photos, haven't really tried video calls.
8. Not really much improvement in the camera department. It is about the same as the Play/Neo.
9. The LED notification is ok, but really wish that it is on the light ring like the Ray.
10. The feel of the keyboard is great. Much better than the old mini Pro, however, the space on the top tow is still too small.
11. Really love the screen off animation.
Firmware 4.0.A.2.335

wow...i m really loving the sound of this!!!!
could you try and test out the camera perfomance a bit more compared to arc / neo especially in low light coniditions...and may be post some comparison shots?
as that is probably the one factor i m looking for deciding between this phone or waiting for xperia pro |

I have posted some comparison of the night shots here.

I have used +2ev manually on Play and Mini Pro as the auto function does not work well.
There is no auto function on X10 mini Pro
I still haven't fully test the battery yet as I am still in the recharge/discharge process.
We have no tax here in Hong Kong, and the Xperia Mini has not been released yet.

@yuunanase
thank you very much for the photos!! in my opinion the photo from the Xperia mini pro appears to be one of the best! xperia arc..seems to have a little more detail but a lot more noise...hence i actually prefer the mini pro more! so i guess exmor r really doesnt make that much of a difference in the end!
shame about the auto not working well...but as long as manually it can take decent photos its good enough for me! |
