Colours are pretty vivid too, as long as you turn up the brightness a bit in the control panel, which is set too low by default for our liking.
To be fair, the Sony Xperia Miro screen has got pretty wide viewing angles and doesn’t suffer form the annoying shimmer that you get on lesser displays. This compares rather unfavourably against the likes of the Huawei Ascend G300, which has a larger 4-inch display with a much higher resolution of 480 x 800, even though it’s actually a cheaper handset costing around £100 on a Pay-As-You-Go basis. What’s worse, though, is that the screen has a pretty low resolution of 320 x 480. The Sony Xperia Miro has a 3.5-inch screen which is pretty small by today’s standards.
MIRO 6.0 REVIEW ANDROID
Beneath the screen you do get the standard Android touch buttons for back, home and menu, but unlike the similarly priced Motorola Motorosmart, the Sony Xperia Miro lacks a dedicated search button. They’re a little bit on the small and thin side with the result that the power/lock switch is especially fiddly to use. There are just two hardware buttons – the volume rocker switch on the right hand edge and the power button, which also doubles as the lock switch, at the top. Sony has also added a neat looking cutaway at the bottom of the screen, which has a brushed metal effect, in contrast to the polished black used on the screen’s bezel. The rear battery cover is nicely curved at the edges, though, and has a grippy rubberised effect, so it sits comfortably in your hand. Like a 1980’s goth, the handset is decked out in all black, with just the silver effect on the logos and the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen to distract you from its overall starkness.
It’s not that it’s an unattractive phone, it’s more that its design is a bit dull and doesn’t really grab your attention. Sony Xperia Miro Designįirst impressions of the Sony Xperia Miro are a bit indifferent. On paper that seems like a pretty good deal, but as we’ll find out, the Miro isn’t quite as tempting a proposition as it first appears.
