The Sony Ericsson K850i is a high-end mobile phone released in October 2007. It was announced in June 2007 as the flagship product in Sony Ericsson's K ("Kamera") series, with a 5 megapixel camera sensor. The K850 will be the first Sony Ericsson phone released outside of NTT DoCoMo to support microSD and microSDHC along with Sony's traditional M2. It also introduces the usage of three touch-sensitive softkeys right under the display and a new form of navigation button, omitting the classic joystick introduced with the Ericsson T68. The camera interface has been revamped to resemble the format of cybershot digital cameras. According to the manufacturer the UMTS talk time has been significantly increased to 3 hrs 30 min over its predecessor, the K800 and K810. [1] (K800 2 hrs 30 min).

[edit] Design and features

The phone introduces a new button in the Cyber-shot line: on the right side a switch allows to choose between photo, video and playback mode. The phone will be available in the colours "Luminous Green", "Velvet Blue" and "Quicksilver Black".

Key features include:

[edit] Camera

5 megapixel camera, 16x digital zoom, natural color rendering, and built in xenon flash plus three additional LED flashes for video recording an AF illuminator. In camera mode the keypad is differently lit so the user can easily find the camera shortcut buttons (view mode, thumbnail view, selftimer, flash).

In common with the K810, a program called Photo Fix and Face Warp is bundled with the K850. Users can easily increase the brightness and the contrast of the photo.

Video recording is QVGA (320×240) @ 30 frames per second. (K800 QCIF (176x144) @ 15 fps.) Supports Image and Video Stabilizer so videos and photos taken would be less likely to appear blurred and shaky.
