Mobile Phone Shootout - the Sony Ericsson C905 Vs the Samsung I8510 Innov8

Mobile phones with 5 megapixels are SOOO 2007, since during 2008, we'll be seeing mobile phones that have 8 megapixel cameras integrated into their DNA. Starting the ball rolling are two big competitors, the Sony Ericsson C905 and the Samsung i8510 INNOV8.

Sony Ericsson C905 - Cyber-Shot perfection

Unveiled during July, the Sony Ericsson C905 is the very 8 megapixel mobile phone announced in Britain. And what an awesome handset it is, as it isn’t just about the 8 megapixels, the reason being that it's also a Cyber-Shot phone. That tells us a few facts: 1/ the Sony Ericsson C905 will be frighteningly powerful; 2/ the photos from it will be good enough to punch a hole through time; 3/ no other camera mobile phones will even come close to it (hmmm, really? Well, we'll see about that, in a second). Sony Ericsson have genuinely made a masterpiece here, with a sliding form factor giving this mobile beauty an exceedingly sexy feel to it. In addition to the looks, you have THAT list of incredible features, kicking off with that amazing 8 megapixel camera, quickly followed by a superb media player, integrated GPS, HSDPA and WiFi.

But... there's something the Sony Ericsson C905 isn't. In spite of that long list of features, it ISN'T a smart phone. If we're going to find an 8 megapixel smart phone, we need to look somewhere else.

Samsung i8510 INNOV8 - The smart contender

Actually, we look at this, the Samsung i8510 INNOV8, the next 8 megapixel mobile phone destined for the UK. Except this baby IS a smart phone. So, it has a brilliant 8 megapixel camera, media player, blisteringly fast web, and suchlike, but the handset's built on Symbian Series 60, the same as Nokia's range of 'smart' mobile phones. THAT means that on top of the standard software and applications you get with this mobile phone, you can install loads more. In other words, it'll let you, essentially, install any extra software you can think of (and I'll bet that if you can visualise a function you want from your mobile phone, someone will have written a program to do it!) The Samsung i8510 is, in other words, a stunning god of a phone.

The question is, though, which is the better mobile phone: Sony Ericsson or Samsung?

Samsung vs Sony Ericsson - who will win?

Consider it this way... things were looking rosy for the Sony Ericsson, until the beautiful Samsung turned up, basically because both of these mobile phones share an almost identical 8 megapixel camera module, so the picture quality from both will be, for all intents and purposes, the same. That's not good for Sony Ericsson but it is for Samsung, since the i8510 hammers the C905 on other specs. A 'feature phone', a mobile phone that's, basically, a normal phone with bits glued on, just can't best a smart phone, one destined and created to have more power, even in the box. That's why, if you check out these mobile phones next to each other... well, I don't like to say this (I'm a Sony Ericsson nut), but the Samsung i8510 gives the Sony Ericsson C905 a proper kicking!
