Comparing two smartphones like the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro and the LG Xenon it’s pretty interesting because these phones were released one year apart and come with nice designs and slide out QWERTY keyboards.

When you first look at these smartphones you notice that both come with rounded corners and quality materials. They have similar dimensions and almost the same weight. The LG Xenon measures 105.5 x 53.5 x 15.8mm and weighs around 108 grams, being smaller and lighter than the Vivaz Pro which measures 109 x 52 x 15 mm and weighs 117 grams. Regarding their displays, these high-end devices feature touchscreens: the LG Xenon comes with a 2.8-inch TFT touchscreen with a 240 x 400 pixel resolution that’s able to support 65,000 colors while the Vivaz Pro features a 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels that supports 16 million colors. Taking into consideration size and resolution, I personally prefer the Vivaz Pro’s display.
Regarding the processors available on these phones, I should mention that the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro is equipped with a 720MHz processor with 75MB of storage and allows you to increase the storage area by using microSD cards of up to 16GB. On the other hand, for the LG Xenon no information about the processor is available. It’s only known that 80MB of storage are available and microSD cards of up to 16GB are supported. The operating system available on the Vivaz Pro is Symbian S60 which offers organizer, Quickoffice document reader, voice memo and predictive text input. The Xenon uses an unknown operating system and features voice memo, predictive text input and photo/video editor.
I can’t forget about the cameras available on these phones. The LG Xenon features a 2MP camera with flash and video recording capabilities while the Vivaz Pro comes with a 5MP camera with LED flash, autofocus and 720p HD video recording capabilities. As you can easily assume, the Vivaz offers better photos and videos because of the various advanced camera settings. Both phones feature a built in media player with nice interface and basic options. The Vivaz Pro’s media player is compatible with more audio/video file formats than the player available on the Xenon. Regarding the connectivity options available on these phones you should know that the Vivaz Pro is able to support A-GPS, HTML browser (NetFront), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G. The Xenon offers the same connectivity options except Wi-Fi.

When it comes to the batteries that equip these mobile phones I need to mention that they have pretty good batteries that offer between 4 and 5.1 hours of talk time.
