Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 review
Hello, I have been using this phone for 5 years, what can I say.
Pros: small, convenient size. Fits very well in the hand, not too heavy! The screen works well, does not slow down! I have never complained about the connection, the reception is excellent, the interlocutor can be heard well, the speakers work well, it is loud enough and there are headphones, wifi, 3g. But there is one bad minus, a very weak battery, if you actively use it, it will last half a day! And so, in principle, the phone is normal and inexpensive) Thank you
