Processing & battery:
The phone is made of plastic. It is not comparable to the one Samsung or Iphone. The plastic is a little softer, a bit of a silicone sleeve. The back cover is available in several different colors that you can buy new again and again. The Faben are black, white, gold and pink. I have bought it in black. The color is not a piano lacquer but a matte black, it looks very high. But it is quite prone to scratches so I recommend a protective sleeve. The front is made of glass. According to Sony Ericsson, it should involve mineral glass but it can be felt as little get these fast small scratches. On the display you will find the Home button. Otherwise, only on and off switch and volume switch right buttons. The rest runs with Touchscreen.Die buttons are well made and offer a good pressure point. It is located both in front (0,3mpx) and rear (8,1mpx) a camera. Rear one has moreover a small flash. The shape of the phone is very stylish and has a timeless design but what do I have to complain about here are the corners. They're pretty sharp. Not that you could get hurt. But it does hurt when Sau encountered accidentally against the corner.
The battery is appropriate for the size of the mobile phone. If you use the phone normally keeps it already through 2-3 days. For intensive use, it is natural for a day or empty.
Features & Android:
You will receive this phone with Android 2.3.4 and you can upgrade to Android 4.0. Anyone who has ever a Android mobile phone has in his hand will find here quickly master. There are only small differences between the manufacturers. The system runs smooth and seamless. The settings can be found immediately bring no prior knowledge. There are many preinstalled apps. But even if you need more apps you can always new apps from the AppStore Download new. There are also many free apps in the Market. Games run quite smoothly. The rear camera has 8 megapixels and can compete with many of the latest smartphones. The front camera only 0.3 megapixel and is slightly outdated in my eyes. But when to use these already. The camera has many settings related to scene selection and also has several filters such as red-eye. They are small snapshots ausreichend.Videos be included in HD quality. So in 720p. The video quality is pretty good. Of course you can not compare them with modern DSLR but for small videos the way the rich in any case.
The display shows the colors again very natural. It's pretty bright and very sharp. Videos and photos look really great. What disappointed me a bit is the touchscreen. It worked just fine from only and it has its dropouts and we arrive at an incorrect entry. If the phone is held upright, a classic HandyPad with 9 fields appear. But more is at the small screen also not possible without typing is impossible. Better to keep cross the cell phone.
Conclusion:
It is an all-round mobile phone for the beginners. I have quite a few Android phones like HTC Wildfire and Samsung Galaxy Ace in his hand had but none runs as smooth and good as the Sony Xperia Ray. From me 4 stars ****
