  • Overall I was a little disappointed with the Vivaz. I feel mainly let down by how bad the camera and video camera was in low light conditions. If i owned the Vivaz and wanted to record a video and it wasn't bright and sunny I more than likely wouldn't ...

  • For Sony Ericsson Vivaz, The HD video camera has continuous focus and good results, the eightmegapixel camera works well even in low light and there’s a cunningly positioned 3.5mm audio port.

  • If media's your thing, the Vivaz has a lot to offer. Anything else, though, and you're out of luck

  • Abstract:  The first thing you’ll notice, and most definitely appreciate is the sleek, curved design of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz.Sony Ericsson calls it ‘human curvature’ and we found it most pleasing. The rear casing is ergonomically designed to fit in the palm o...

  • Nice feel and ergonomic design, Crisp LCD screen, Camera easy to use, HD video recording, Easy to set up, Comfortable level of customisation
  • Can be slow and glitchy, Resistive screen, Poor app selection, Internet settings never remembered, Extremely unintuitive screen lock
  • The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is the HD-video-shooting successor to the Swedish-Japanese firm's flagship Satio model. With an 8.1MP camera that can also record 720p HD video, it is designed to thrill YouTube-rs with its easy video upload features as well as...

  • For a mid-range feature phone, the Sony Ericsson Vivaz stands up surprisingly well. If you're after a phone for constant internet access and on-the-go email, this isn't it - but if you want something that you can use recreationally for photography and ...

  • The photography and video capture are top notch, Great device for a bit of music and movie watching too
  • Basic browser, Slow and clunky UI - we'd have loved to see this feature set on Android
  • A decent phone, and even feels like an upgrade over the Satio - but you have to really want to record HD video

  • 720p video capture, camera performance, the Fast Port connector is gone
  • Interface hampers everything, Twitter application really lacks features, can't change music volume whilst keys locked
  • If you are a Sony Ericsson user and video capture appeals to you, then you might be really happy with the Vivaz. Those switching from other operating systems might find it too frustratingKey specs3.5mm jack, 3G, 8 megapixels, Bluetooth, FM radio, GPRS,...

  • Compact and lightweight. Stylish curved design. Smooth HD footage. Dedicated video button. Alert continuous focus. Accomplished camera. Scant choice of downloadable apps.
  • Fitful resistive touchscreen. No lens cap. Side located 3.5mm headphone jack. Music player lacks audio boosters. Little internal memory.
  • The finest video-shooting smartphone we've seen is marred only by an unresponsive touchscreen ...
