Sony and Ericsson are both famous giants in the mobile communication field. When they came together, they brought a fresh blood to the mobile phone industry and brought us a number of classic models. Once, they were one of the most successful cases in the mobile phone industry and were loved by many fans. However, as Sony acquired all the shares of Sony Ericsson in 2011, this once popular brand has disappeared in the long river of history. The Sony Ericsson logo has disappeared in the Jianghu, but the classics left by Sony Ericsson to users will always be in the memory of fans. Today, we will take a look at what classic devices Sony Ericsson has brought to us.
P990i
As the flagship of the year in 2005, the Sony Ericsson P990i has all the elements that can become a classic. This model uses a flip keyboard design. The outer keyboard uses the T9 keyboard and the direction and function keys, while the inner layer retains the full QWERTY keyboard. The design is quite scientific. The machine adopts a 2.8 inch 260000 color TFT screen, a 2 megapixel rear camera, and the Symbian OS v9.1 operating system. It is a versatile model that combines business and entertainment. As an early work in the history of Sony Ericsson, it represents the first peak of the history of Sony Ericsson like a pearl.
S700
The unique design of the S700 adopts the rotating body, which is quite eye-catching. The unique cover opening method is quite cool, and the clamper can only quietly put away before rotating. The phone is equipped with a touch screen with a resolution of 2.3 inch QVGA, which has a better visual experience than most mobile phones in those days. At the same time, the machine has a large and conspicuous lens circle, which is quite aggressive and aggressive. It is also equipped with a rare LED fill light at that time. Touch screen+rotary slide=unique S700.
W550
Users familiar with Sony Ericsson will surely know that apart from the classic appearance design, Sony Ericsson also has another unique skill - Walkman. W550 is its typical work. This slide model with lively color matching has Sony's exclusive skill Walkman, which represents the landmark logo of walkman professional users.

The machine is equipped with stereo audio, and the attached headset has the function of remote control. It is equipped with a 1.8 inch color screen and a 1.3 million pixel rear camera. Young, lively and energetic, it is the label of W550, and not every mobile phone deserves the title of Walkman.
W880c
If W550 represents youth and liveliness, W880c represents the technical strength of Sony Ericsson. As a masterpiece in the era of thin as beautiful, W880c is as famous as Nokia E51 and Moto V8, and is synonymous with extreme thinness. W880c is only 9.4 mm, which was already a proud achievement at that time. As the lightest model of Sony Ericsson at that time, the W880 has a metal brushed body. Its excellent workmanship and feel add a lot to it. The addition of orange makes the cold metal add a little lively element, which is quite popular. It's a pity that the W880 only uses very thin bar buttons, which are not very tactile.
P1c
As the flagship of Sony Ericsson, P1c is the fifth generation P1c device of Sony Ericsson. It uses a 2.6 inch 260000 color touch screen with a resolution of QVGA. Although the resolution is not outstanding at present, it was one of the screens with the best visual experience at that time. The machine is equipped with a touch pen, which can complete most operations with touch control. The machine was also equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera and LED fill light, which was also the most powerful camera module at that time. In order to solve the problem of poor touch screen input experience at that time, Sony Ericsson retained the keyboard, which was one of the most convenient models for text input at that time.
C905
As the first slide phone of Cyber Shot, its main function is naturally to take photos. We can also know a little about its appearance similar to a card camera. For the first time, Sony Ericsson has adopted an 8.1 million pixel rear camera, which is designed with a lens cover. There are also special shutter keys and setting buttons on the side of the fuselage, which is quite exquisite. If you don't look at the front of the fuselage, you will think it is a mini card machine. In addition to the distinctive Cyber Shot function, the machine also uses a textured metal body and slide design, which is a model with high status among many players.
X1
Sony Ericsson X1 is a model with a side slide full keyboard design. It uses Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. It was the flagship model of Sony Ericsson mobile phones at that time.

X1 adopts a rather special arc sliding cover design, which presents a unique arc after sliding. In addition, X1 adopts a 3-inch screen touch screen with excellent display effect of WVGA 800 × 480 resolution, which raises the brand design of Sony Ericsson to a new height and is one of the most amazing models in 2008.

It uses the Symbian OS 9.1 UIQ3.0 operating system, and is equipped with a 2.6 inch 260000 color TFT screen. It is also the first model of Sony Ericsson with built-in 4GB storage. It may seem that 4GB is not surprising now, but it has been ahead of most competitors in the distant 2006.
M600i
The M600i is also a very classic product in the history of Sony Ericsson. It was launched in 2006 and is equipped with a characteristic QWERTY+number key two in one keyboard. It can not only avoid the concentration of T9 single key letters, but also avoid the problem of too small QWERTY key area. It is a very classic keyboard solution, Similar key layout design has been used in some BlackBerry models.
W980
As the model with the most exquisite appearance design in Sony Ericsson's history, W980, released in 2008, is the most classic model of Walkman.

In addition, the machine is equipped with TrackID function, which can identify songs through TrackID. It is the most typical representative of Sony Ericsson Walkman models. Unfortunately, this aircraft has not been officially introduced in China.
X10i
As the first Sony Ericsson Android model, X10i shouldered the hope of Sony Ericsson. As the first Sony Ericsson Android platform transformation product, X10i was equipped with a 4-inch screen with a resolution of 854 × 480. Both the screen size and the visual experience were quite outstanding at that time. In addition, the camera is equipped with an 8 million pixel camera, which supports auto focus. In 2009, it was already amazing. In addition, X10i has also opened a new style design of Sony Ericsson. The design of angular body+silver streamlined frame+slender physical buttons has been retained on many Android models of Sony Ericsson since then.
LT15i
The Sony Ericsson LT15i is an Android model that focuses on ultra-thin body. As the first model of the Sony Ericsson Arc series, the design of this model is very unique. Although it is a straight mobile phone, its overall body is quite beautiful. An arc runs through the body, the middle of the body is concave, and the upper and lower sides are high. This design is a landmark design that clearly distinguishes it from other mobile phones. In addition, the overall thickness of the machine is only 8.7mm, and the body weight is 117g, making it the thinnest Android model at that time. The machine uses a 4.2 inch screen, is equipped with a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 single core processor, and is equipped with 512MB operating memory and 1GB built-in storage.
LT18i
As the last classic of Sony Ericsson, LT18i inherits all the classic design elements of Sony Ericsson. The perfect combination of corners and roundness, the combination of firmness and tenderness, represents the most quintessential design of Sony Ericsson. After entering the Android era, the design peak is also the swansong. Since then, Sony Ericsson has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Ericsson, and LT18i has become the last Xperia with a strong Sony Ericsson style. The LT18i is also only 8.7mm thick, equipped with a 4.2-inch screen with a resolution of 854 × 480, a 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 single core processor, 512MB operating memory and 1GB built-in storage.
lt26w
The lt26w is a three proof version of the lt26i. As we all know that the Japanese market prefers waterproof models, Sony Ericsson has also launched this model with three proof capabilities, but it has also removed the cool strip light band. Strictly speaking, lt26 is a product after Sony has held a wholly-owned stake in Sony Ericsson, but its Japanese version still retains Sony Ericsson's iconic green logo and Sony Ericsson logo, which is also the swan song of the last Sony Ericsson branded mobile phone.
Sony Ericsson, once the most important member of the mobile phone industry, has left many classic designs. There are very classic designs on flip, slide, rotary, and straight phones. Whether it is early or the king of mobile phones, it has left numerous beautiful memories to users. Although Sony Ericsson's green logo will not appear on mobile phones again, But the classic design that it brought to us in those years will still remain in our memory.
