 Sony J6 is announced in 2001
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, Sony has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the Sony J6 is a very slender and compact handset at 123 x 46 x 20 mm and 82 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 96 x 65 pixel is not very high but is normal for low class phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the J6's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Sony handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The J6 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Sony handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the Sony J6 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a five-way joystick centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Sony J6 has to offer: there's also support for SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, a voice recorder, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the J6 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 640 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 150 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 96 minutes.
Availability
The Sony J6 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Sony's J6 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Sony. A new compact design and a reduced sized battery - which avoids rendering a negative impact on battery life - ensures a thin and light phone which is ergonomically comfortable. |
