Sony Ericsson Zylo Mobile Phone is a model that is well designed for those who prefer to get a cheaper device with not much features in it.

Screen

The screen size in this mobile phone is 2.6in. The screen of this mobile phone can be rotated at an angle of 90 degrees to get the view in either the portrait or landscape form. The screen comes with anti-scratch surface thus allowing the user to view pictures clearly.

Music

The music that is produced in this mobile phone is of HD quality. It comes with the new Walkman Player 4.0. The SenseMe function in this mobile phone identifies the mood of the person such as happy, sad, energetic or reflective and plays the songs accordingly.  According to Cnet UK, though Zylo is called as a phone for the music lovers, it is not packed with a 3.5mm headphone jack. And hence the users cannot use the headphones and enjoy the music. It doesnot come with USB socket as well and hence doesnot allow the user to transfer his favourite music over the cable. But it does come with a microSD card slot that allows the user to transfer the music on to this phone. The microSD card supports upto 16GB.

This Sony Ericsson mobile phone comes with MP3 player that plays MP3 files. Zylo comes with certain important features such as TrackID that records the song from the built-in FM and collects the details of the song such as name of the artist, song name and album. Music can be enjoyed with the A2DP Bluetooth that allows the user to hear music with wireless Bluetooth headphones.

Social networking

Widgets on the homescreen displays pictures and updates from Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites. The widget of the Facebook worked well while that of the Twitter did not. According to Cnet UK, a QWERTY keyboard or a touchscreen is more suitable while working on the social networking sites but unfortunately Sony Ericsson Zylo Mobile Phone doesnot come with both of these.

Internet

Again according to Cnet UK, surfing on this mobile phone is not very fast. Videos that were played on YouTube were not smooth. It doesnot come with GPS. Google maps and Geo-tagging are two important features in this mobile phone. Zylo comes with push email facility and hence there is no need for the user to rely on the PC.

Blogs can be updated on regular basis and thus you can be everytime connected to the internet.

Camera

The resolution of the camera is 3.2 megapixels.
