Sony Ericsson Z530 review: The music beetle

26 April 2006
Sony Ericsson launched Z530, their latest clamshell with music features just as we expect the W300 model to hit the market. At first glance, the two phones look very similar since they have exactly the same dimensions, but the W300 has more features and a better display. The advantage of Z530 is the expected lower price.

    if this phone is launched at the time when VGA cameras are ruling the mobile world. then it will become the best VGA camera phone. just look at the fine details and the good saturation it broughts. anyway, very nice features for a cheap-priced phone. this is what SE is.

        The phone is equipped with a mere VGA camera. There is an Extended Mode in the camera menu, that raises the resolution up to 1.3 megapixel but that resolution is interpolated which means that the software merely stretches the real 640x480 image in order to reach those dimensions.

          I have purchased the phone and it is giving very satisfying results it is absolute value for money phone it would rock if it just had a 256k display and i think the volume(media player) is also a bit low.

                Good Review, and when I purchased it's a good phone too. Playnow is also a good feature which review has not explained.A fast file read response (nothing like - opening..../please wait....-) is a great feature which overrides it from other phones.
