Sony Ericsson Adds New Walkman Phone

By

Sony Ericsson yesterday unveiled their eighth Walkman phone which builds upon the successes of earlier models. The new W700, which will come in a “titanium gold” color in most markets, will be available in the second quarter of this year.

The W700, said Sony Ericsson, is a candy bar style phone which shares much the same feature set as previous Walkman phones. Beyond the ability to store and play MP3 and AAC music files off of a Memory Stick Pro DUO memory card, the W700 sports a two megapixel digital camera with 4x zoom and video recording, a music mode for playing tunes without the phone’s transmitter being on, FM radio support, Bluetooth functionality, a 1.8” color TFT display and tri-band GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 Mhz coverage.

“The W700 builds on the legacy of the first Walkman phone, the W800,” said Jan Wäreby, Corporate Executive Vice President, Head of Sale and Marketing, Sony Ericsson, in a statement. “This phone will appeal to anyone who wants a quality music player in their phone for occasional listening.”

This new folding phone costs less than half the price of the iPhone 15 Pro Max
ZTE Flip 5G color options.

Earlier this year, ZTE offshoot Nubia showed off a foldable phone, and expectedly, the biggest draw was its supposedly attractive asking price. As U.S. shoppers waited for the phone to hit retail shelves, ZTE launched it in Japan as the Libero Flip. Thankfully, the wait is finally over on this side of the Atlantic, as well.

Nubia's website has recently listed the Nubia Flip 5G for pr-eorder on its website. The best part is the asking price, which is only $500 for the base variant with a respectable 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. You can bump the RAM to 12GB and double the storage capacity for an additional $200.

Motorola’s new Android phone looks amazing, but there’s a catch
motorola edge 50 Pro rear shell.

Earlier today, Motorola introduced a new premium phone in the Edge series, and from the looks of it, this could be one of the most value-centric phones of 2024. The Motorola Edge 50 Pro, which flaunts a fresh design language, marked its arrival in the Indian market with a price tag of roughly $385. For a limited spell, it will be sold at approximately $335, which is nothing short of stunning.

At that asking price, you won’t find a phone in the U.S. market that can match the hardware prowess and the fine looks of Motorola’s latest phone. We are talking about sleek curved glass aesthetics, a metallic frame, and a vegan leather finish available in a beautiful lavender shade.
