(Pre-Owned) Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 (White and Gray) + Sony Bluetooth Earphones

Design & Display
The Sony Xperia X8 featured a compact design, measuring 99 x 54 x 15 mm and weighing just 104 grams, making it easy to carry and handle. It had a 3-inch capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, capable of displaying up to 16 million colors. While not the sharpest display by today’s standards, it was quite functional for browsing, reading, and watching videos back in 2010. The screen provided adequate brightness and clarity for most tasks.

Camera
The phone came equipped with a 3.2-megapixel rear camera featuring autofocus and the ability to record VGA videos. Although it lacked a flash and could not compete with more advanced cameras of the time, it was suitable for casual photography. The camera produced decent-quality images and videos for a budget smartphone, making it a good option for users who needed basic camera functionality.

Performance & Processor
The Xperia X8 was powered by a 600 MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which, at the time, offered smooth performance for most basic tasks like web browsing, texting, and running simple apps. It was paired with 168MB of RAM, which allowed the phone to handle multitasking with a limited number of apps open. Although the processor was not as powerful as newer devices, it was sufficient for the phone’s target audience.

Operating System
The Xperia X8 initially ran on Android 1.6 (Donut), an older version of the Android operating system. However, it was later upgradable to Android 2.1 (Eclair), which brought improvements in performance, UI, and functionality. Despite being behind the latest versions of Android, the phone provided access to the Android Market (now Google Play) for downloading apps, games, and media.

Storage & Expandability
With 128MB of internal storage, the Xperia X8 was quite limited for storing apps, media, and files. However, the phone supported expandable storage via a microSD card, allowing users to add up to 16GB of additional space. This feature made it easier to store music, photos, videos, and apps, providing more flexibility for users who wanted to expand their phone’s storage capacity.

Connectivity
The Sony Xperia X8 supported a range of connectivity options, including 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, and Bluetooth 2.1. These options ensured users could stay connected for browsing, downloading, and syncing with other devices. The phone also featured a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and transferring data. Although it lacked modern connectivity features like NFC or 4G, it was more than capable of handling basic internet tasks and media sharing.

Battery Life
The phone was powered by a 1200mAh battery, which was relatively standard for its size. The Xperia X8 offered up to 4-5 hours of talk time and around 500 hours of standby time. In real-world use, it provided a full day’s worth of use on a single charge for tasks like calling, texting, and light web browsing. However, users who engaged in heavy media use or gaming may have found the battery life to be more limited.

Additional Features
The Xperia X8 was equipped with various sensors, including an accelerometer for screen rotation, a digital compass, and a proximity sensor for automatically turning off the display during calls. It also featured A-GPS for location-based services, including navigation apps. The phone supported Java applications and had a few pre-installed apps, but users could also download apps from the Android Market to expand functionality.
