Let's review the Sony Ericsson XPERIA RAY, one of the Small Smartphones. Measurements are just 9.4mm in thickness and the 3.3″ screen makes for a very compact phone overall. Though the phone is a small smartphone but Sony Ericsson didn’t compromise on the screen resolution, the screen resolution is 480 x 854 pixels, which means nearly 300ppi pixel density here let me tell you that the iPhone 4′s Retina display has 326ppi. Usually small phones not only get the low resolution screen but also pack old chipsets but here the case is different with XPERIA RAY. Sony Ericsson XPERIA RAY comes with a 1GHz CPU and can record 720p video from its 8MP camera.
If you go over the specs for the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray and hit Compare, you’ll see that it’s basically the same platform as several other Xperia phones – Arc and Neo for example. So, we don’t expect many surprises here, just a smooth experience overall. The display really is something though – even miniscule text is smooth and readable. And its not just the impressive pixel density either, the mobile Bravia engine ensures a great viewing experience on movies and pictures. Anyway, we’ll cover some of those technical details in the upcoming preview and the rest of them in the review. For now, you can enjoy this video of the user interface of the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray. Dimensions in millimeters and photos don’t quite convey just how small the Xperia ray is. That’s a positive thing (yay for compact smartphones) but since the screen has 16:9 aspect, it’s also one of the smallest 3.3″ screens around 3:2 aspect gives more surface area for even 3.2″ screens.
