Pocketables have recently posted up some outside photos taken from the Xperia X1. The photos were taken at Six Flags by Jenn.

The photos are deemed rather unimpressive with the quality not being very good. Also the colors appear dull, with fine details missing. Ouch! Jenn does state however that the photos were taken in VGA quality and then resized for the blog. Bearing that in mind, the photos really don’t show the true potential of the 3.2 megapixel camera of Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1.

Camera Quality: Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 vs K800i

Yuhui didn’t have the best first experience with Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1 while at a road show booth. The handset was described as laggy, with an unresponsive touch screen. Fortunately, Yuhui also got the opportunity to try out a colleague’s X1. While changing programs was still showed some lag, the touch screen was much more responsive.

However, as someone who uses their phone as a camera, how it compared to Yuhui’s current phone, Sony Ericsson’s K800i, was important. Both phones were used to take a sample shot to compare against the other.

Both handsets feature a 3 megapixel camera, but the Xperia X1, in this snapshot comparison comes out on top. The K800i’s photo looks rather blurry and over exposed compared to the sharp picture from the Xperia.

Over at The Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog, Michell has received ~~her~~ his Xperia X1 and has been “snapping like crazy” with the X1. ~~She’s~~ He’s provided 36 photos and 2 videos from the Xperia.

Verdict? They’re pretty impressive. Michell admits to being surprised at how good the camera is in the X1. Photos are of high quality and there were no signs of color or white balance problems. The only issue found, that is a seldom sight, is some photos have a purple tint.

The two videos have decreased a bit in quality for the upload, but both are provided as a download if you’d like to see the real quality of the videos.
