Description

Sony Ericsson W960 comes as the replacement of the W950 – it doubles the hard disc capacity from 4 to 8GB, still uses Symbian UIQ but the keyboard is now standard one, instead of flat. The Walkman is now a cameraphone, with 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus and additional one for video calling.

  • Technology:

    Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.
