Sony Ericsson Satio vs. Samsung Pixon12: 12MP shootout

21 October 2009
A year's truce must've been enough and some heavyweight sharpshooters are called to arms again. In fact, there's never been a ceasefire in the battle for profit. But we're about to look at the future of cameraphones and the battle to take place is more for glory than anything else.

to not true well people are not lying or try to convince people to jump from SE to Samsung we're only saying our personal opinion i love SE and i'll buy Satio when its released in my country i'm just saying that Satio is a GREAT piece but look at the market now you see phones offer more than the Satio is offering! specially Omnia HD.. i'm not advertising for Samsung but i'm saying my opinion thats it and no need to be hyped like that SE wont pay you anything if you appraise their product and SE or Samsung wont pay me or reward me anything we're just saying our opinions buddy

      you people who claim that you love sony but now they dissapoint you, why don't you hell shut up liars! Because if you really loved sony you would stick with them, sony still makes brilliant and great products. If your weak and not loyal enough for sony that's fine but please don't pretend that you like sony. I think that you are samsung users and are trying to convince people by lieing on them. Grow up please. Sony still is great and the satio is still amazing. And Gsmarena never said that the pixon is better! So please shut up ok :)

        well i'm a Sony Ericsson Hardcore fan i own 53 mobile phones by SE but i was so shocked by the Pixon12 and Omnia HD they're in my opinion far much better than Sony Ericsson handsets now adays, Pixon12 in my opinion overall rules in terms of camera because of the features it has from the profiles it has (Auto, Portrait, Full Colour, etc..) the flash is the most important thing for me in a camera and you can forced it ON in Pixon while on Satio it didnt deilver, and regarding the video recording well i got Omnia HD so i'm all set and regarding the OS its true that Satio has better OS but Pixon has also touch features and great stuff for a simple phone and not a smartphone i love SE to death but they're not offering anything new or exciting like before thats why i got Pixon12 + Omnia HD.. Pixon for the imaging capabilities, and Omnia HD for the HD Video and Multimedia playback. i hope SE some day produce a phone worthy of a competitor to Omnia HD in terms of technology and specs.

          yea ok the cameras are both good but the Saitos got S60

          tons of people like S60 even though it might not be the best of mobile OS's out there its still a major selling point

                    [deleted post]to ban a person is only when he use bad words as you do ,,
                    this banning busines should be managed and adminstrated by gsmarena only and not to leave a visitor to ban people as they want

                    here we are not at war with anyone , and there are some people that they talkm as if they were on war .. we are here only to exchange opinions in a civilized way and to avoid hurting each other .

                    and the most imporatant thing that many people just say bad words about some companies since they dont like it ,,, this is wrong too , we can just convey our opinion in a solid manner and to give everyone the right to be present in a modern and civilized way

                    be good and lets keep the moral high

                      here we can see a battle with no logic behind it , some persons protect satio and bash samsung and dear Kal is a samsung oriented man,,
                      to be honest with all , both samsung and sony ericsson requires the respect of all , , i cant see the world without both , , and actually every company completes the other one ,,,
                      as for construction both are ok but samsung will make cheaper housing to drop the price but this does not mean its bad quality
                      sony ericsson has better housing but sometimes they have failed mechanical parts like the case of c905 keypad,, but recently they have improved it in w995 and aino .

                      as to the 2 giants samsung and sony , its correct that sony is one of the leader in innovation but lets not forget that for the last 7 years samsung has done great job in the technology segment too .. samsung is the largest electronic company in the world today and they have their own production plants even for semi conductors ..

                      so we have to respect all the companies , and supportr all in order to continue producing innovations fro the normal users to be proud of ..

                          Let them buy samsung phones that they will realize that its a waste of money..Their samsung phones housing will eventually fade in just a short period of time..I will never buy samsung phone again..The image quality is just good at the center(only focus at the center), corners of the pictures are blurry..

                                  any one who bought and will buy samsung products are those who are ignorant people because they only see the cover not the whole package... other says that samsung has better camera,,, it's a long way that they can make it to the likes of sony.. if you are a good buyer and knowledgeable person you would buy the satio.

                                      I like Satio because it’s Symbian but I would buy pixon12.
                                      It has better camera than Satio, better flash at night, but the most important for me is SAR.
                                      I don’t want to bake my brain every day with SATIO because of 1,58 SAR!
                                      Pixon12 has 0.265 SAR!
                                      Samsung respect her customers one more time…

                                        Anonymous, 23 Oct 2009Enjoy your Pixon12 for 4-6 months,kiss it if u want..Then t... moreOh so suddenly image quality don't matter to you just because Satio can't produce better images? And you are talking about video, OS and the rest of the features!! Lol, if that's so important then nothing comes closer to OmnaiHD.

                                        Do you know what's the life span of Satio? Just 1 year. It has few months left,..it already spent it's 9 months at SE lab.
                                        If I really have to enjoy something I would rather enjoy OmniaHD as a phone. Except that 12mp, it has got more than what others has to offer and it's certainly not ridiculously high priced like Satio!
