hey everyone its Jeff Farina with pocket now calm and you've seen us on boxee x10 you've seen us give you a softer overview well now it's time to take a look at the hardware we're gonna go ahead and take a look at what's on the outside as well as what's on the inside and makes it tick let's begin alright and we're back with the hardware of the sony ericsson xperia x10 and getting started on this device as you can see it is a typical bar style phone with the 4-inch capacitive touchscreen larger screens are becoming very popular right now with devices measuring 4 inches and larger such as the Samsung Galaxy S model of smartphones as well as the evo 4g in the droid x which both come in at 4.3 inches overall the device weighs four point eight seven ounces to be exact and it feels pretty solid in the hand it's very similar to the sony xperia x10 mini because that of course is a mini version of this device as you see here so let's go ahead and jump right into the actual hardware of this device as you can see here we have three buttons down at the bottom now these buttons are your typical menu buttons that you would see on an android device which once again is very similar to the xperia x10 mini however these buttons are actually physical buttons that you actually push in you'll get these the feedback from pushing an actual button as you see here much different than they capacitive buttons that many of the android devices are currently utilizing on their bodies moving over to the right side of the device we have a dedicated camera button as you can see here that always goes a long way having a dedicated camera button makes snapping a picture on the go snapping a picture just in general that much easier to do moving up a little more forward we have the volume up and the volume down which also doubles as a zoom in and zoom out while using the web browser functionality so it is a dual purpose volume rockers you see here typical up and down the top of the device is going to have our headphone jack as well as the power button and then you're going to have your micro USB port which is right beneath the actual removable button here these have a button to become somewhat phased out as of late devices like the Samsung Galaxy S actually employ a slider mechanism and other devices like the evo for example do not have a cover here whatsoever there's have the port open for easier access the fact that this does use the micro USB vote does go a long ways that is becoming Lee standard for many of the devices especially in the Android world moving over to the left side we have a smooth finish here now the back has a soft touch paint feel to it which is very nice added someone grip and some texture while you're holding the device and of course you're going to have a camera this camera does employ an LED flash which does help to take pictures in low-light environments although it's not a miracle worker the camera is an 8.1 megapixel to be exact it takes very good quality pictures and that is to be expected with a sony ericsson device so the camera quality is typically better than normal as you will see in our final review and shifting focus to the bottom of the device you're actually going to have a little bit of a treat here it's a lanyard loop as you'll see there they really haven't been used as of late but the lanyards were something that maybe perhaps is still being used over in Europe other parts of the world so that people could hold it on their wrist but this is available to you if you decide you want to use that sort of thing now you can actually pop open the battery cover by using your nail right in this little lip here and that will give you access to the back of the device now as you can see here the battery is a 1,500 milliamp hour battery sony does claim an eight-hour talk time with this fifteen hundred million power battery on the right side you'll have your micro SD card slot here the device will come with a 2 gigabyte card however it's compatible up to 32 gigabytes the 4-inch capacitive screen of the xperia x10 utilizes a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels so it does claim at this screen is scratch resistant a very popular question to ask about today's devices are what exactly powers it and makes it tick in terms of a processor the sony ericsson xperia x10 uses a snapdragon one gigahertz processor which is very run-of-the-mill with current devices however it does run android 1.6 currently which is somewhat of an unfortunate slack building on that one gigahertz processor the Xperia x10 also has a total of three hundred and eighty four megabytes of RAM available to it for multitasking and running applications etc lastly all the norms are here you'll get the assisted GPS or the a GPS functionality as well as the Bluetooth Bluetooth 2.0 now the frequency is that the Xperia x10 will utilize and be able to run on specifically in America this is the 18 tiver j'en the device are going to be 850 and 1900 that's going to wrap up our coverage of the hardware of the sony ericsson xperia x10 android device make sure you stay tuned for our next video which will be part 2 of our software overview will actually compare the sony UI that is utilized here versus TouchWiz only samsung galaxy s and as always make sure you stay tuned for our final review where will actually show you how we really feel about the device and show you some examples of the picture quality that this can take please leave us a thumbs up and thank you very much for watching everyone
