▲ Plug in Android wings and let Walkman Sony Ericsson E 16i fly for a while.
E 16i Appeal is a small and high-quality music mobile phone, equipped with Android 2. 1 system, 3-inch touch screen and 3.2 million pixel lens camera, with unique Timescape friend dynamic communication function, and functional shortcuts are designed at the four corners of the desktop. As a music mobile phone, E 16i also has a built-in Walkman music player and Walkman Widget gadgets, which are ready to be provided to friends who love Walkman series, and the MH4 10 stereo headphones are included randomly.

As a smart phone that focuses on music, portability is our first consideration. Sony Ericsson E 16i inherits the light and compact design of the previous XPERIA mini series. The overall body size is only 99x54x 15mm, and the weight is only 104g, which is quite convenient in portability.

Walkman Music Player+Intelligent Search Interface Appreciation
Portability, we have completely mastered, since we are taking the classic Walkman series, is there any difference between the realm and the previous Walkman mobile phone? Next, let's look at the music player interface. There is no dedicated Walkman entity shortcut key on the side of the fuselage, but a classic Walkman LOGO is printed at the bottom of the screen.

Due to the focus on the music function of the Walkman, Sony Ericsson E 16i has enhanced the design of the music playing interface, but it may be just a small attempt, so the music interface has not changed much, only the program icon has been changed to the classic orange W, which should be familiar to those who have contacted Sony Ericsson Walkman series mobile phones.
▲ Add Walkman shortcuts and shortcut gadgets to the main interface.
The biggest difference is that Walkman's shortcut widget is added to the desktop. Users can put it on the standby page, enter the complete interface, or display the album cover. Click when the mobile phone is connected to the internet? You can start all-round intelligent search to find MV movies by playing a song.

In addition, the Walkman interface adds a custom playlist, which can be set by yourself. This function is very common in other Android phones, but Walkman series phones have no custom playlist design.

Configuration parameters: But strangely, many common equalizer settings of music mobile phones are not set at E 16i, including the most common Mega Bass compensation of Sony Ericsson. Other common Dolby or SRS virtual surround sound effects or independent music chips cannot be found in W8. To be honest, if the future listing price is not exciting enough, people will feel that this Walkman mobile phone is not strong.
Sony Ericsson E 16i details show a perfect sense of extension.
The output power of the machine is not the largest, but the timbre is crisp and delicate, and the voice is warm and friendly. Specific to the high-pitched part, the performance is excellent, the rich details are perfect, but the sense of extension is a bit insufficient, the midrange is full enough, and the bass is explosive, but it is not in place. If you are a data controller, skip to the next page directly, and there are professional sound software test data.

▲ The timbre is crisp and delicate, and the high-pitched part performs well.
On the speaker performance of the machine, because of the hardware equipment of stereo dual speakers, the sense of quantity is guaranteed, which can cover dozens of square meters of music. Although the bass effect is average, there is no staccato.

Walkman phones don't have exclusive music chips except top models such as W950i and W960i, so listening to music through headphones is not much different from other series. Compared with many professional MP3 walkman players on the market, the sound quality is only average, and even sounds a little ordinary.

Personal Audition Summary: As far as listening to music is concerned, Sony Ericsson E 16i is a very recommended product. Although the sound quality is average, it integrates the functions of mobile phone, high-speed internet access and 3.2 million pixels. Bian Xiao really feels that if Sony Ericsson doesn't strengthen the advantages of Walkman's mobile phone music playback, if it still doesn't use exclusive music chips, it may still be difficult to make a breakthrough in sound quality. The conclusion is that when purchasing portable music equipment, we should first analyze whether it meets our own needs, whether we want the sound quality of music to be good enough or give it to a professional player. If it is a product that needs integration, E 16i is well integrated.
Electro-acoustic Performance Test of Sony Ericsson E 16i Android Walkman
Many data control players have to look at the data to talk, so Bian Xiao used the software of RightMark Audio Analyzer (RMAA) to test various electro-acoustic properties of the equipment today, including harmonic distortion, intermodulation distortion, dynamic range, background noise and other test values. Remarks: the test results are influenced by many aspects, such as individual mobile phones and test lines. The results are for reference only.

Frequency response (frequency response):
The human ear receives the sound in the range of 20HZ-20KHZ, so the audio signal should always maintain a linear response effect in this range. If protrusion or slippage is a sign of distortion, the closer to 0dB, the better. The curve of Sony Ericsson E 16i is relatively flat in the middle and low frequency bands, but it drops too fast in the high frequency bands, and the overall performance is average.

Flat bottom noise level:
This parameter refers to the extra signal added to the output signal due to the player's own reasons, which is directly related to the circuit design, anti-interference ability and isolation of the front and rear stages of the system. In the background noise test, the lower the position of the graph, the smaller the amplitude and the better the result. As shown in the above figure, the noise level of Sony Ericsson E 16i flat bottom is in the medium level.

Dynamic range:
One of the standard test items for testing audio quality, the higher the decibel number, the larger the dynamic range. Dynamic range refers to the logarithmic value of the ratio of the maximum undistorted output power of the sound system during playback to the noise output power of the system at static state. Generally, the sound system with good performance has a dynamic range above 100(dB), while Sony Ericsson's E 16i is around 45, and the dynamic range is in the middle and lower level.

Stereo crosstalk:
High stereo separation can enlarge the sound field, produce a broader sense of space, and make sound positioning more accurate. High stereo separation can strengthen the musical instrument, vocal localization, game audio localization and movie surround effect in music appreciation. The higher the degree of separation, the more magnificent sound field effect and more accurate sound localization can be obtained. As can be seen from the figure, the overall performance of E 16i is not satisfactory.
