Even the people from the Internet generation have to make phone calls from time to time. After all, it’s not always possible to find all your acquaintances (for example your grandma) in facebook.
The good news is that G502 performs very well during a talk. Even though some what monotonous, you will hear your collocutor loud and clear and vise versa. The loudspeaker is a good one and is very handy, as long as you are not at a very noisy place.
Sony Ericsson continues to use very long lasting batteries in all their models. According to the specifications, the one in G502 has to be good for 10 hours of talking or 14 days in standby mode.
There were no significant software defects at any time, during our tests. Despite using the interface of the high class of the manufacturer, the menus were opening almost simultaneously. This is a prove of the good optimization of the device.
Conclusion:
The big question here is „Does the phone satisfy the needs of the internet generation?”. If you ask us, it does.
Sony Ericsson G502 is a wonderful example for a combination between an affordable, unpretentious package, and every function and option, which the modern user needs. It has a really impressive for such a device Web browser, high-speed Internet support, a good e-mail client and quality sound during a talk. The main problems are related to the design language, with the phone being not as attractive and the uncomfortable D-pad.
Pros
- HSDPA 3.6 Mbit/s
- Very good Web browser
- Great sound quality during a talk
Cons
- Not very attractive design

- Christian Dior:
- Very low
Wow, I can get the latest fashion news directly on my phone! That’s great, but I wouldn’t buy such a “thing”, ever. It doesn’t go with my jacket nor my shoes.
- Average Joe:
- Very high
This phone has everything I want. Even a bit more. At an affordable price too.
- Corporate US:
- Very low
Despite its good functions like the Web browser and the e-mail client, I wouldn’t invest in G502. There are other devices, which would suit me better.
- High-Tech junkie
- Very low
Low quality camera + low quality video + lack of innovative solutions = low quality phone. At least that’s what I think
