  • Abstract:  The Sony-Ericsson Vivaz is a great all-round phone with a lot going for it, but it's not without flaw. Summary: The phone's tools, features and connectivity options are almost all you could want. It is stable and performs quickly, apart from a slightl...

  • Records 720p HD video with continuous autofocus, Renders HD video at enviable color clarity & crispness, Trendy & portable
  • Sluggish & limited touchscreen interface, Poor headphone build quality, Lack of hardware keypad
  • We agree that the Vivaz truly holds its own in the photo/video capture segment rendering high-definition video at consistent frame rates with an enviable colour clarity and crispness. It is to be noted that it has been advertised for its capabilities ...

  • Beautiful design, ultra small and light weight, good display quality, plenty of features, good audio quality (headphones), HD video recording with continuous autofocus
  • Poor interface design is frustrating, frequent application crashes, sluggish camera interface, poor implementation of flash in camera, camera quality could have been better
  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is graced with a lovely design that looks and feels great in your hands. It is possibly the smallest and lightest full-touchscreen smartphone that you could buy today. It also has a fairly long specifications list, with 3G, HSDP...

  • Good Looking, Very Good Camera, Good Screen, Fluid UI
  • Battery Underperforms, Poor Call Quality
  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz’s forte is its superb camera and that certainly doesn’t disappoint. Add to that its great looks, good screen and fluid UI and what we have in the Vivaz is a right step towards the perfect mobile multimedia experience....

  • Good looking comfortable to use design, Camera quality is really good, Battery life is better than average
  • Plastic shell makes it feel a little cheap, UI is very buggy and hung quite a few times, Audio player's volume is too low, No clear cut uploading options for media
  • CameraThe main ‘focus’ of this handset is its 8MP camera. It’s loaded to the hilt with features from Face and smile detection to, a variety of scene modes, Image stabilization, auto stitch panorama and even touch focus. On the whole image quality was r...

  • Abstract:  The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a Device that certainly splits Minds. Some like it, some hate it with Passion. I see myself in the Middle, with a slight Drift into the Haters Side to be honest. I took this as a Reason and decided to do something my good Fr...

  • Stylish and compact design; full suite of connectivity features; video and audio quality better than the i8910 HD.
  • Slippery when fingerprints make a mess of the phone; exposed camera lens; no front-facing camera for video calls; no DivX support out-of-the-box.

  • Sony Ericsson have been limping on profits lately but their ambitions seem to not have suffered one bit. There is the Satio, now the Vivaz and with the XPERIA X10 on its way, the company is gaining a firm foothold in the high-end segment.Some people scoff...

  • There is no doubt that the Sony Ericsson Vivaz offers a lot. It punches well above its weight when it comes to video and photos, offering one of the best camera phones we've seen to date. It does suffer in low light, however, and the LED flash won't help ...
