Sony Xperia SmartTags Review

2012-03-06
hello everyone this is Jaime from pocket now and well now that we're back from Barcelona let's continue talking about the Sony Xperia S now that the old what they experience is that there are a couple of really cool innovations with the device and it wouldn't really be fair to just film one video as a software tour now it turns out that well in this little red bag in the box well we had what the sony xperia smarttags and well this is just to show a new approach that Sony has into NFC it's not just about payments so there's so much to talk about that let's begin now out of the box there are two smart tags included one in red and one in black probably in other regions there will be other variants and the way these smart tags work is that within the Android operating system there's a new widget that includes your ability to program them so you have one in the red one and black you can program them for you whatever you want to you can actually name them on whatever you want so let's say in my case in particular I name the smart tag for car and one smart tag for bedroom so it actually includes an adhesive that you could place on your dashboard in the car and then you can just go into car and I have a couple of three already programmed things that I like like for example I don't need Wi-Fi when I'm in the car so I turn it off then I have sound mode to loud because obviously I'm not gonna be hearing the vibration on the phone whenever my music's loud and I could also ask it to start an application so in my case in particular what I like is navigation and I just activate navigation whenever I touch the thing so the way it works this is this is the red smart tag all I do is just simply swipe the phone within it and it'll automatically start launching everything that you asked it to do turn off Wi-Fi start navigation the whole nine yards if you set it to do music it'll also give you the option and you'll notice that if you try to add more options you can actually turn on and off Bluetooth GPS open any URL play tracks send a text message set wallpaper sound mode to obviously go vibrate loud or not start an application text-to-speech and within text-to-speech there are a couple of really small not very good options but they're there you can actually turn it on and then tell it to speak incoming text messages speak the current time and well that's about it for now but it's a really good option if you're driving the other option that I have for the xperia smarttags in black is that I use this for the bedroom the way it works when I go to the bedroom is what things do I care about when I'm in the bedroom well I like for my Wi-Fi to be turned on because I back home Bluetooth I turn it off not really needed sound mode I turned it into vibrate because obviously I don't want any of this sound to become a problem and I wanted to start Netflix because that's what I do in particular every time I come back home so it all depends on you the cool thing about the smart tags is you don't have no limit as to how many you can buy or what you could do with them you can actually leave one at the exit of your home whenever you touch it because you're probably going to the gym you could activate your music and for it to play a particular song that you want or you can have it in the office and whenever you come into the office you just swipe the phone to the new smart tag that's in the office and I'll remember that you want your email application to be launched that you want sounds to be set to vibrate it all depends on your specific needs that's it for a review of with the sony xperia smarttags thank you very much for watching remember to give us a thumbs up if you like what you saw and leave us a comment down below if you have any doubts on what it can do
