However, the walkman model that attracts the most attention from young fashion users and music enthusiasts is the W800c, the Walkman model promoted by Sony Ericsson!

This model is called the world's first walkman mobile phone. As the originator of walkman, SONY has equipped this model with high-quality in-ear headphones and dedicated walkman playback shortcut keys. Memory is included in the random accessories. Stick Duo capacity is 512MB. Together with the powerful music playback software, it has already formed the prototype of walkman. As a mobile phone, what kind of excitement does W800c bring us? Please pay attention to the wonderful reviews this site brings to you.

Appearance Analysis

The Sony Ericsson W800c has a body size of 100×46×20.5mm and a weight of only 99 grams. I believe users who pay attention to Sony Ericsson products will be a little surprised, because the W800c is exactly the same as the K750c in terms of body size and weight, but the appearance of the W800c has changed significantly compared to the K750c. If the K750c pursues an elegant and professional appearance Style, then the appearance route taken by W800c must be elegant and fashionable.

Details analysis of the fuselage

The W800 is equipped with a three-hole earpiece on the top of the front, which maximizes the overall aesthetics while ensuring call quality. Sony Ericsson's English logo is placed under the handset. The pinhole-like material around the screen is just the color of the panel material, not a real pinhole-like panel. I believe it is also a design made by Sony Ericsson in pursuit of a fashionable appearance. There is a bright silver decorative strip on the inside of the screen, which adds a lively color to the entire body.

There is a quick power off button and an infrared port on the top of the fuselage. The interface on the bottom of the fuselage can be connected to a Sony Ericsson special charger or data cable. The mobile phone chain hole is set on the lower right side, and it is equipped with a random mobile phone hanger. The rope effect is very good. The two sides of the W800c fuselage adopt lively orange as the main color. On the right side of the fuselage, Sony Ericsson has equipped the W800c with a walkman function shortcut key and a Memory Stick Duo memory stick expansion slot. The English logo and the walkman logo in the center are particularly eye-catching. The volume adjustment button on the left side of the fuselage can adjust the focus in shooting mode, and the shooting shortcut keys use silver buttons with a very metallic texture.

The back of the W800c has undergone major changes compared to the K750c, especially in the camera protective cover settings. The rectangular silver-gray lens protective cover of the Sony Ericsson K750c looks more professional, while the brighter one of the W800c The silver round lens cover looks more fashionable and lively. The W800c’s lens cap snaps tighter, without the slightly loose feeling of the K750c. The use of dual LED fill light units can provide a more sufficient light source for night scene shooting. The lens protection cover switch is made of the same silver gray as the K750c, and the bite density and sensitivity are very satisfactory.

The Sony Ericsson logo on the lower part of the fuselage plays a good decorative role. After removing the compact battery compartment cover, you can see the position of the SIM card holder. The W800c battery adopts a push-in semi-hidden design. The idea is more sophisticated.

Sony Ericsson W800c continues its consistent exquisite and beautiful design line in appearance. Whether it is the body shape or color matching, every detail can see the W800's excellence in design and workmanship. It can be said that This model combines Japanese exquisiteness and European elegance. It is a product with excellent design.

Screen analysis

The screen of this model is basically the same as that of the K750c. It is a 1.8-inch TFT screen with a color display number of 260,000 and a resolution of 176×220 pixels. . In terms of display function, the brightness can be adjusted with percentage accuracy, while the contrast needs to be adjusted in engineering mode, which is not recommended for ordinary users.

Sony Ericsson’s always excellent display effect has once again been affirmed by the reviewers. The realistic color restoration effect and transition ability make people feel impeccable. The picture levels are clear and natural. The screen can be displayed at 90% brightness. Very bright, especially the excellent text sharpness makes the text display effect of W800c look particularly outstanding. Generally speaking, the screen display effect of W800c is at the same level as that of K750c, but due to psychological effects, the display effect of W800c may be slightly better. Some.

W800c adopts Sony Ericsson's standard zodiac menu, which has very good display effects when selecting menus, which is very pleasing to the eye. There are four built-in appearance themes, which can be interchanged with the K750c theme. Personalized display functions include background adjustment, startup screen settings and screen saver settings. It can be said that the W800c's personalized display is not very rich, but it is still pleasing to the eye with the excellent display effect.

Ringtone effect analysis

Sony Ericsson W800c uses 40 harmony ringtones, which seems a bit outdated in today's era of 64 harmony, but as a music phone W800c supports MP3 and AAC The ringtone plays. In terms of ringtone function, W800c supports ringtone progressive special effects, information prompt tone, and button tone adjustment.

The ringtone effect of W800c is good, the sound layering is clear, and the ability to express the details of the music is acceptable. It’s just that the volume is not ideal, and calls may be missed in noisy places. Therefore, it is recommended to turn on the vibration function when using this model.

Walkman functions and sound quality analysis

Walkman functions are mainly controlled by the W800c dedicated music player, music playback shortcut keys, high-quality headphones, and 3.5mm interface wire control. Composed of major parts. The W800c music player interface is orange by default and has five functional options: now playing, artist, all tracks, playlist, and video. You can enter the playback interface through the play now function, and the artist option can view the singer information of the song. Songs can be categorized and managed through the playlist function. The video function can play MPEG-4 video clips.

In the playback interface, you can perform the following operations: playback minimization, playback information, playback mode, equalizer adjustment and music track sorting functions. W800c does not need to choose to minimize when playing music. Simply press the exit key and the system will automatically minimize the player. This function is very user-friendly. In the information, you can view the file size, length, artist, file type and storage location of the selected song. There are two functions of random play and loop play in the play mode that can be set. The EQ sound effect adjuster of W800c is quite good.

Sound quality analysis

W800c is known as the world's first real walkman mobile phone. Naturally, countless players have also taken a fancy to this highly anticipated product. Sound quality performance. In order for everyone to have a clearer understanding of the sound quality of W800c, we used a Walkman that is currently highly recognized in the market to make a comparative evaluation with W800c. The models tested are:

Iriver IFP-790, SONY N10. Headphones: Sony Ericsson W800c comes standard with headphones, KOSS comfortZone, and Audio-Technica ATH-EM7. The test tracks are: Tsai Chin's "Forgotten Time", Zhou Ziqi's "The Woman with the Same Name", Jay Chou's "All the Way North", and Scorpions' "Wind of Change". For file encoding, the commonly used 128Kbps 44Khz and 256Kbps 44Khz are selected.

In the 128Kbps 44Khz test environment, the sound quality performance of IRiver IFP-790 and W800c is basically the same, but W800c is more focused on the rendering of bass, while the sound performance of IFP-790 is much clearer, especially the mid-range details. The performance is a little clearer. The SONY N10 only uses the LP4 format for comparison reference, and the performance of the N10 is roughly between the two. Especially when playing "All the Way North" and "Wind of Change", the W800c performed very well, and the bass part was powerful.

In the 256Kbps 44Khz test environment, there is still not a big gap between IRiver IFP790 and W800c. However, when listening to KOSS headphones, I can feel that W800c has a slight background noise phenomenon. I believe it is also related to the problem with the engineering prototype. relation. In "Forgotten Time" and "The Named Woman", two tracks that have considerable requirements on vocals and strings, the IRiver IFP790 showed a greater advantage, with full and delicate sound details, while the W800c performed slightly better on very small details. Vague. The SONY N10 is basically the same as the two when using LP encoding rate music files, but its balanced performance capabilities may be more popular with users.

In the headphone evaluation, the reviewers felt that the original in-ear headphones were very outstanding in terms of bass performance, allowing users to better feel pop music with a strong sense of rhythm. The Audio-Technica EM7 performs better in pop music and life music, but the EM7 is more comfortable to wear. Personally, I think Koss headphones are much better than the original headphones. In terms of sound quality performance and wearing comfort, Koss products have absolute advantages, and the sound quality of W800c with this headset is indeed improved significantly, but the contact With its price of more than 400 yuan, I believe only more enthusiastic users will consider it.

It can be said that the sound quality of W800c is basically very close to that of Walkman devices worth about a thousand yuan, but in terms of functions, it is still at a certain disadvantage compared to the lyrics display and other functions provided by MP3, but I believe that Sony Ericsson is powerful. R&D capabilities will gradually add such features in future software updates.

Analysis of shooting functions

The standard camera of W800c is a 2-megapixel CMOS camera, which supports 4X digital zoom and video shooting with sound, and supports the autofocus and macro shooting functions of K750c. . The maximum photo size it can take is 1632×1224 pixels. Supports night shooting mode and turns on light function and Selfie. Selfie mirror and various shooting effects.

The W800 and K750 are almost identical in terms of shooting special effects and shooting settings, and their imaging effects are also very consistent, both are excellent. In this review, we took sample shots in four scenarios: macro, normal mode, night scene and distant view.

Application Expansion Analysis

Sony Ericsson W800c has a 34MB internal memory and comes with a 512MB sandisk memory stick for capacity expansion support. W800c supports three data exchange modes: infrared, Bluetooth and data line, which can fully meet the user's resource interaction needs. This model supports Java extensions. Java benchmak results are also relatively satisfactory. In general, the expansion capabilities of W800c are already top-notch configurations among non-intelligent models, and W800c can also get numerous functional supports through Java programs.

Analysis of common functions

W800c has built-in alarms, application managers, calendars, tasks, notes, stopwatches, lights, calculators and code memos, and other common functions. The interface is clear and concise, and the running speed and operation mode are very satisfactory.

In terms of entertainment functions, W800c only provides two games: QuadraPop and Puzzle. Users can install Java games for expansion.

The FM radio function supports automatic station search and manual station search. Using this function requires headset support. When using the FM function, the headset acts as an antenna.

The file manager function can classify and manage multimedia information such as pictures, videos, sounds, themes, homepages, and games. Manage documents more effectively through functions such as identification, movement, and copying.

Message and phone book functions

The powerful and easy-to-use phone book function is a major feature of Sony Ericsson. W800c can add personalized pictures, ringtones and voice commands to contacts, while job titles, Features such as company, up to five address details and birthdays make the W800c look as good as it gets.

W800c text information uses the T9 input method with Lenovo function, which supports adding emoticons unique to Sony Ericsson models, as well as template insertion and other functions. Compared with past models, the Sony Ericsson W800c should have the fastest SMS response speed, and with its first-class keyboard feel, it can satisfy the needs of even text message geeks.

The powerful and easy-to-use MMS function is also a highlight of W800c. In adding items, it supports the use of the camera to take instant photos and built-in functions such as pictures, text, sounds, videos, pages, and signatures. There will be a capacity prompt at the top of the screen in the editing preview interface.

The measured playback time in airplane mode is 26 hours, and the playback time in communication mode is more than 19 hours. When editing 20 text messages, taking 10 photos, and talking for one hour every day, W800c can be on standby for about 52 hours.

Advantages: Stylish appearance, outstanding MP3 function, excellent photo imaging effect, and excellent overall performance

Disadvantages: The body is easy to get dirty, the data cable interface is not tight, and the display area is biased Small

W800c has MP3 sound quality close to a thousand yuan, and has all the functions of Sony Ericsson K750c, and its overall performance is better than K750c. In addition, a more fashionable appearance and a memory capacity of up to 512MB are also the goals pursued by many young users. The excellent scalability makes the W800c no worse than any smart model in ordinary applications. Therefore, when the W800c is at a suitable price, it will be a A product very worth buying.
