After Xperia Arc critically acclaimed, Sony Ericsson is back with a new smartphone just as powerful, but much more compact: the Xperia Ray. The manufacturer uses a material endowment (hardware) identical for most of its range of smartphones in 2011. But what sets this Ray, what are its very compact size with 111 x 53 x 9.4 mm. To achieve such a result, Sony Ericsson has made a few compromises, but no sacrifice. The manufacturer has mainly lowered the size of the screen. It is here 3.3 inches, 4 inches against the Arc. But the bulk of the devices is not comparable, despite a thick more or less equivalent. The Ray makes it almost an inch across the width and height to its big brother.
However, despite its reduced diagonal, the display of the smartphone that we are testing here is impressive because of its very fine resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. This display also features the new Bravia Engine manufacturer. For the rest, we find almost all the technical features of the Arc. The heart of the device is managed by a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 chipset with embedded processor running at 1GHz Scorpion and Adreno 205 graphics chip. The whole is supported by 512 MB of memory (RAM) and 1GB of storage. The photo sensor Exmor R offers an 8 megapixel LED flash and appears capable of shooting in 720p HD resolution.
