Sony Ericsson C905 Shiho

After the Nokia N82 was launched, Sony Ericsson practically lost the camera phone war, if there was one. The current Cyber-shot devices produce photos of lower quality than Nokia phones. But, that’s about to change, or we hope it will…

The Sony Ericsson C905 aka Shino is the next step in the Cyber-shot camera phone evolution, sporting a 8.1 megapixel camera! And while we’re not sure we actually need that many pixels — better colors and faster photo taking is all we require — it’s good to see the Swedish-Japanese company making further steps to advance its Cyber-shot line.

Anyway, let’s go through specs, shall we:

  • First, the C902 Shino is a feature phone. It runs no mobile OS.
  • Camera: 8.1 megapixels with auto-focus, face recognition, “Smart Contrast,” image stabilization, BestPic, red-eye reduction, xenon flash.
  • Navigation: built-in GPS with further support for A-GPS.
  • Display: 2.4-inch QVGA scratch-resistant mineral glass TFT display.
  • Wireless connectivity: WiFi with DLNA-support, Bluetooth, HSDPA.
  • Other: TV-Out, Memory Stick Micro (M2) expansion slot.
  • Dimensions: 104x49x18 (19.5) mm, weight: 136 grams.
  • Color options: Copper Gold, Ice Silver, and Night Black.
  • Availability: Early Q4.

Now, it’s all about the patience. BeiBei, Paris and now Shino… June 17th could bring us lot of joy. ;)

  • Raidium

    Wow, 8.1 MP? These devices are surely becomeing camera that can make phones calls rather then Mobile phones that can take pictures! :razz:

  • Zak

    Yea, duh Radium lol

    But Dusan, when you say it doesn’t run on an OS, does that mean it runs on the SE home made OS or that it doesn’t have an OS “yet”

    ?

    It’s another new cool samsung mobile phone. The main feature different others is TV-OUT, it looks like a digital camera.

    @Zak

    I’m just saying, it’s not a smartphone. They don’t use any of the popular mobile operating systems. That’s all. :)

  • Toshe

    It will have to be smart phone since it has WiFi and I don’t know a phone with WiFi that doesn’t run on some smart OS – i saw the phone on gsmarena and in the full specs it didn’t say anything about the OS – so the OS is a mystery at the moment, but I am sure it will either be Symbian or who knows, maybe Android even :D

  • mudassir

    i love this phone because it has a nice look and also the features i wanted……..
