Page 4-7: Performance Evaluation
Sony Ericsson launched the first dual-core model Xperia S LT26i. However, as Sony has wholly owned Sony Ericsson, Xperia S LT26i was classified as Sony brand, which became the first shot for Sony to return to the mobile phone industry. The Xperia S LT26i, which debuted with a brand new brand, is not only simple and fashionable in appearance, but also very Japanese in style. At present, its mobile phone specifications belong to high-end mobile phones, including 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM/32GB storage space, 720p HD screen,1.2000 pixel Exmor R back-illuminated camera. After the press conference, Bian Xiao was lucky enough to get the Xperia S LT26i test prototype. Although the test prototype is slightly different from the retail version, Bian Xiao got the prototype of Sony LOGO, which is different from the prototype exhibited at the previous press conference and closer to the retail version.
Xperia S LT26i is the first work after Sony's return and the first shot of NXT series new products, so it is of great significance. From the beginning of Xperia S LT26i, there will be no Sony Ericsson brand mobile phones in the future. The Xperia S LT26i is a landmark model.
The mobile phone * * * has two colors, black and white. According to the staff, there will be no more girls' favorite pink models like Xperia arc S LT 18i.
Simple and neat design with antifouling coating.
The Xperia S LT26i is designed by Sony and looks more Japanese than the previous arc style. Although it is also a straight full touch screen body, the Xperia S LT26i looks more concise and neat, with a square front and an arc back, which makes the phone naturally fit the user's palm. Mobile phones are afraid of being dirty when they are beautiful, so Sony has added an antifouling photosensitive coating on the plastic shell surface of Xperia S LT26i, which makes it easy to clean even if the mobile phone is dirty.
The front of the mobile phone looks square and the four corners are rounded. The screen panel has not been changed to white, so it is a little different from the all-white body of X 10.
From the side, the mobile phone is beautiful, very Japanese, and belongs to the type of love at first sight.
There is an arc curve design on the back of the machine, similar to the design of X 10. The advantage of this design is that it can better fit the user's palm and be more comfortable to master.
With the increase of screen size, Xperia S LT26i is larger than arc, with a weight of 144g and a thickness of 10.6mm, which is still light and thin. Similar to other brands of 4.3-inch models, Xperia S LT26i has no problem with one-handed operation, but it is difficult to completely control the mobile phone with one hand, and sometimes it needs two hands to cooperate.
The 4.3-inch screen is a very common size, and it is no problem to master it with one hand. However, due to the design of the transparent belt at the bottom of the screen, the fuselage is longer than the arc.
Personalized transparent belt design can act as a breathing light.
Sony's design technology is one of the best in the industry. The first mobile phone work after the reunification will naturally have a breakthrough design, and the transparent belt at the bottom of the Xperia S LT26i screen is one of them. Careful observation shows that the transparent belt exists not only in the front, but also in a part of the fuselage. From the front, you can see the scenery on the back through the transparent belt, and when the user controls the mobile phone, the transparent belt will emit pure white light, which is very unique and attractive. Another function of the transparent belt is that it can be used to breathe light. When a call comes in, the transparent belt lights will blink rhythmically. Even if the phone goes into silent mode, you can find new calls through the lights. Friends who have used Sony Ericsson physical button models before should not feel strange.
According to the introduction of the field staff, the bottom of the transparent tape of Xperia S LT26i is actually the place where the antenna module of the mobile phone is placed, so look carefully inside the transparent tape and there are grid lines. In fact, it is a circuit wire used to connect the antenna module, not just for aesthetic decoration!
The mobile phone used for the test uses the same Sony LOGO as the retail version, which is different from what we saw at the press conference. There are also many components at the top of the screen, from left to right: mobile phone status display light, distance sensor, bar receiver and 1.3 million pixel front lens (supporting 720p video recording).
Before seeing the real machine, Bian Xiao always mistakenly thought that the three function key icons on the transparent belt were physical buttons, but this was not the case. The real function keys are the three points on the top of the transparent belt, that is, the three touch function keys. The icon on the transparent belt is only used as a reminder. Please remember not to make mistakes in the future.
The transparent belt is actually a part of the mobile phone body, similar to transparent glass, which can see the scenery on the back of the mobile phone.
When the screen of the mobile phone lights up, the transparent belt will also light up and emit pure white light.
On the back, you can also see the icons on the opposite screen through transparent tape.
When the light is dim or at night, the pure white light emitted by the transparent belt is very eye-catching. If a call comes in, the transparent tape will turn into a call to remind breathing light.

Easy-to-use physical shutter key, the battery is not replaceable.
In order to make the mobile phone design more portable and integrated, Sony also introduced the popular design of built-in battery and microSIM card (commonly known as small card) on Xperia S LT26i. So you will see that the back cover of Xperia S LT26i can be removed, but the battery cannot be replaced. This design seems a bit redundant. Bian Xiao consulted the on-site staff, and their answer was that they didn't want too many interfaces on the side of the phone, so they set the microSIM card slot on the back of the phone, so the back cover must be designed to be detachable. Bian Xiao personally disagreed with the staff. Personally, I think the microSIM card slot can be set on the left side of the fuselage. The reason why Sony designed this way is probably because there are 10 screws on the back of the machine, and the back cover is actually a "fig leaf".
The left side of the fuselage is equipped with a micro USB interface for charging/transmission.
In order to keep the simple design of the mobile phone, a dust cover is added at the interface.
There are physical shutter keys, volume adjustment keys and HDMI interface (micro HDMI) on the right.
The HDMI interface is also equipped with a dust cover.
The physical shutter button protrudes slightly, and the button area is still relatively large, which is quite comfortable to press.
3.5mm headphone jack and power button are set on the top of the machine.
There are hanging holes and microphones at the bottom. According to the staff, the antenna module of the mobile phone is also located at the bottom.
On the back of the machine,12 million pixel back-illuminated camera, LED fill light, speaker and noise-reducing microphone are lined up.
With a refreshing shooting interface, the mobile phone can not only focus on taking pictures through the physical shutter button, but also support touch focusing and face recognition.
The familiar green ball still exists.
Take off the back cover and have a look. The used plastic material has good toughness and is not easy to break.
The back cover can be removed, but the battery of the mobile phone cannot be replaced. 1750mAh built-in battery The official data is that there is a maximum talk time of 5 10 minutes; 450 hours standby time. There is no time to test the battery life. According to the specifications of the mobile phone, it is estimated that it can be used normally for up to 2 days.
The microSIM card slot can only be seen after the back cover is removed. Personally, I think the space on the back of the machine is large enough to reuse the SIM card, which can save the trouble for users to replace the small card.

4.3-inch 720p seamless screen, blessed by Bravia engine technology.
Another highlight of the Xperia S LT26i is the beautiful screen. This time, Sony not only increased the screen size to 4.3 inches, but also jumped to 720p HD level (1280 x 720 pixels), the same Sony Bravia engine imaging technology. In addition, the screen of Xperia S LT26i is still a seamless screen, and the screen glass design without air layer and air gap can make the picture clearer. In order to understand the display level of Xperia S LT26i HD screen more intuitively, Bian Xiao invited two brothers, Samsung Galaxy Note( 1280 x 800 pixels) /Galaxy Nexus(720p screen), to make a comparison of the display effects. The following comparison photos are all original pictures taken by the camera (only the picture size has been cut), and the brightness of all three mobile phones is adjusted to the highest.
The resolution of the 4.3-inch screen jumped to 720p, and Sony Bravia engine imaging technology was adopted, with a detail display capability of up to 342dpi. In addition, the screen panel also has the ability to prevent scratches. What material is used? The official did not explain.
The screen supports multi-touch at most 9: 00 (wonder why it is not 10, because of the engineering machine? )。
The viewing angle of the screen is still ideal, but it is better to compare the quality. Compared with Samsung's Super AMOLED panel, the short board of viewing angle deviation of TFT panel is exposed completely.
Compare the screen effect with the original image, and click View Larger Image.
Among the above eight comparison pictures, the middle is Xperia S LT26i, the largest screen is Galaxy Note, and the smaller is Galaxy Nexus. Click to view the original picture.
Compare the screen effect with the original image, and click View Larger Image.
In the comparison above, the middle is Xperia S LT26i, the largest screen is Galaxy Note, and the smaller is Galaxy Nexus. Click to view the original picture.
Compared with the screen display effect of Xperia S LT26i (left) and Galaxy Note (right), Galaxy Note also uses Pentile subpixel arrangement, so there will be a little burr.
From the actual contrast effect, the viewing angle of Xperia S LT26i with TFT panel is obviously smaller than that of Galaxy Note/Galaxy Nexus with Super AMOLED panel, and the picture color will be much lighter from the side. However, Sony's Bravia engine imaging technology is not covered, and the contrast effect of the front picture is not lost at all, but the color of Xperia S LT26i is warmer and Samsung Brothers is cooler.
summary
The introduction of the appearance part has come to an end, and then an article on system performance evaluation will be sent. Please remember to pay attention. From the perspective of design and screen performance, Xperia S LT26i is really remarkable. It has a simple body, a curved and soft design, and a 4.3-inch 720p HD touch screen. I believe many people will see it at first sight. Although the design of the back of the machine lacks the aesthetic feeling of arc, the back cover with arc design is also very distinctive. As for whether you like it or not, it may be decided by personal aesthetic differences.
Of course, the new design style of Xperia S LT26i incorporating Sony elements also has some imperfections. For example, the three function button icons engraved on the transparent adhesive tape are easily mistaken for physical buttons, while the real three touch function button icons are too small (just a small dot), and there is no backlight, so the probability of pressing them wrong is really high (Bian Xiaogang often presses them wrong when getting started). In addition, although the plastic case of mobile phone is coated with antifouling photosensitive coating, the official also mentioned that it can be easily taken care of, but it seems that it is not so easy to remove sweat and oil stains adsorbed on the case.
Finally, I sent a photograph comparing the hottest model of Sony Ericsson, Xperia arc S LT 18i, with Sony's first return work, Xperia S LT26i.

I have shared with you the appearance and screen performance of Xperia S LT26i, the first work of Sony NXT's new series. Today is the next part of the series of evaluation: system interface introduction, performance test and camera part continue to be sent to you. Before entering the evaluation, let's take stock of the main hardware specifications of the Xperia S LT26i, including 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8660 dual-core CPU/Adreno 220 GPU, 1GB RAM/32GB built-in memory (memory card expansion is not supported). At the beginning of listing, the mobile phone was running Android 2.3.7 operating system, but it didn't take long for the mobile phone to eat ice cream sandwiches and be upgraded.
Sony returned strongly, and launched NXT series Xperia S LT26i. How is the performance? We continue to look down!
1.5GHz dual-core processor, performance test
Since it is Sony's first dual-core smart model, the performance of Xperia S LT26i naturally attracts everyone's attention. Qualcomm MSM8660 dual-core processor built in Xperia S LT26i has no difference in performance from Qualcomm MSM8260 dual-core processor used in HTC Sensation XE. The difference between two kinds of CPU lies in the difference of network standard. MSM8660 not only supports GSM/WCDMA network, but also supports CDMA2000 network. Although the built-in processor chip of Xperia S LT26i has nothing extraordinary, under the combination of 1GB RAM/32GB of built-in memory, the running link completely surpasses Sensation XE, in which Ann Bunny scored 6564 and Neocore scored 59.7FPS.
Ann Bunny's evaluation software detected the system information of the mobile phone. The mobile phone adopts the processor combination of 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8660 dual-core CPU+Adreno 220 GPU.
This is the mobile phone system information detected by Quadrant.
Mobile phone 1GB RAM, the user's available space is 697MB, and 45 1MB is left after booting, which is quite abundant. The space provided by the mobile phone for application installation is 2GB, only a few simple performance testing software are installed, and there is 1852MB left in the ROM.
Ann Bunny's evaluation results: the total score is 6564, which belongs to the upper-middle score.
Quadrant test takes the highest score for many times: 3194; The test result of Smartbench 20 1 1 is 30511653, but this part is for reference only, because the test software does not support high-definition resolution.
The result of Neocore running is 59.7FPS.
Nena mark 1 57.6 FPS, the score is super high.
Nenamark2 ran a high score of 37.4 FPS, indicating that the 3D performance of the mobile phone is excellent.

New UI interface, you can upgrade Android 4.0 after listing.
Recently, Sony Ericsson announced that it will take the lead in upgrading Android 4.0 ICS for Xperia arc S, neo V and Xperia ray from the end of March this year. According to the introduction of the on-site staff at the press conference, Xperia S LT26i will still run Android 2.3.7 system at the initial stage of listing. It is expected that the second wave of Xperia phones will be upgraded to Android 4.0 ICS at the end of April at the earliest, so the newly released Xperia S LT26i has not received special offers from Sony.
Although you can't eat ice cream sandwiches at the fastest speed, the screen resolution of Xperia S LT26i has jumped to 720p. The UI interface and function icons have been redesigned, and the built-in theme wallpaper is more suitable for the simple and elegant design of mobile phones.

12 megapixel Exmor R camera, 1.5 second snapshot.
The shooting function has always been the strength of Sony Ericsson's mobile phone, and it will naturally be better to return to the Sony brand. Xperia S LT26i not only improves the pixel of the main camera to12 million pixels, but also retains the iconic Sony Exmor R sensor and physical shutter key. In addition, the Xperia S LT26i also has the function of 1.5 seconds to quickly start the camera, and the mobile phone can be completed from sleep mode to taking pictures in less than 1.5 seconds. Such a fast camera speed has brought the professional shooting function of the mobile phone to the extreme.

summary
The series evaluation of Sony's return to the first gun Xperia S LT26i has come to an end. Relying on Sony's unique and powerful technical support, the new Xperia S LT26i is both familiar and unfamiliar. Familiar with mobile phones, it retains many humanized and easy-to-use functions of Sony Ericsson models. Strangely, the appearance of the mobile phone has the simple and elegant style of Japanese mobile phones, and the UI interface is also very Sony-style, which is refreshing. Judging from the actual performance of mobile phones, Xperia S LT26i has become one of the current high-end mobile phones with high performance, and it is well-deserved to be called Sony's flagship model.
However, MWC 20 12 is just around the corner. Not only does Sony have plans to launch a more powerful new Xperia machine, but also mobile phone manufacturers including HTC, Samsung and MOTO are eager to try. This year's high-end models are bound to be the world of quad-core mobile phones. Perhaps after the opening of MWC 20 12, the specifications of Xperia S LT26i will be somewhat "outdated", and the top spot of Sony's flagship model is estimated to be replaced. By then, it seems that the price/performance ratio of Xperia S LT26i will be more recognized by consumers. If the listing price is reasonable, Xperia S LT26i has every hope to become a new generation of best-selling arcade instead of Xperia arc.
