KDDI Sony Ericsson Xmini Walkman phone

Japanese carrier KDDI have announced a tiny new Walkman phone by Sony Ericsson. The Xmini slider measures just 44 x 75 x 18mm, and has a touch-sensitive control surface that lights up with music transport buttons when the phone is closed.

As you can see from the picture it’s look small and at 75 x 44 x 18 mm you could say that. Packet into this tiny Walkman phone you get a QVGA (320×240 pixels) screen, 4GB of on-board memory and dedicated music control keys, Bluetooth, basic messaging functionality and I’m sure a few other things.

The Xmini is not exactly a device that can be compared with the latest Japanese phones, i.e. it doesn’t have a 800 x 480 pixels display, a 5MP camera or other things like that. So what makes it special then?

You get essentially the same features of a basic normal-sized music phone, they just managed to squeeze into the small device. Some of those features include Bluetooth, basic messaging, MP3 ringtone support and audio playback. Not really that big a deal, but it’s really cute tiny. A set of nice dedicated music keys is hidden just below the phone’s display, appearing only when you need to control the Walkman player.
