Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro unboxing video

Almost three months have passed since we published our review of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz and now we’ve finally managed to get our hands on the Vivaz Pro. Quite why there has been such a gap between the two devices I’m not sure, they are very similar in design and have identical operating systems.

The key differences between the Vivaz and the Vivaz Pro are the sliding QWERTY keyboard on the Pro and ‘only’ 5MP camera on the Pro versus the 8MP on the Vivaz. The difference in the camera spec is down to the keyboard, I guess that an 8MP camera and sensor just take up a little too much room.

Despite the QWERTY keyboard, the Vivaz Pro is only 2mm thicker than the Vivaz and a few grams heavier, this is impressive in itself.

In the video below I’m just concentrating on the Vivaz Pro pro hardware as we have already looked at the OS on the Vivaz in our Vivaz Demo video and the devices are identical in this department. We’ll have a full review for you over the next few weeks.
