Sony Ericsson Z530i
Product Rating  
Sony Ericsson Z530i ReviewRating:
Date: 09/11/2006
The Sony Ericsson Z530i is an average mid-range camera phone. It weighs 93g and is a neat clamshell design. Sony Ericsson provides great personalisation by enabling you to change the external colour as a range of front and back covers are available. Some people have found the keypad difficult to use.
It has a basic VGA camera similar to most other camera phones of this type, although within the same price range it's possible to get up to 2 megapixels. Sony Ericsson have included the Video DJ feature which lets you edit video clips by combining and adding music and images.
The external display is monochrome. The main screen is colour but only supports 65k colours with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels and is therefore not as highly specified as other phones of this type which offer up to 262k colours and 240 x 320 pixels.
A great feature that this phone offers is the built in music and media player which allows you to play MP3s and videos. The internal memory of 28 MB will not let you store many songs, videos, sound or pictures but you will be able to store more with a memory card. You can buy an external memory card of up to 1 GB.
The Z530i has 40-voice polyphonic and MP3 ringtones. The 40-voice polyphonic tones means that 40 notes can be played simultaneously. The Music DJ feature lets you create your own polyphonic ringtones.
The Z530i offers excellent connectivity with the option of Bluetooth, USB, and infrared. Bluetooth is the most sophisticated of the three and allows you to connect wirelessly to another Bluetooth device up to 10 metres away. When connecting with another paired device you are able to transfer and exchange various information from one phone to another or to other devices such as a PC.
The network connection for this phone is tri-band which is common for most phones. This means that it works in Europe and America but not Japan.
The battery life for this phone is very good. The standby time lasts up to 400 hours, and talk time lasts up to 9 hours.
Another feature this phone has is a speakerphone. This is a practical feature allowing you to have a hands free conversation.
The phone has an internet connection with GPRS. Many other phones in this price range have 3G or EDGE which are significantly faster.
Overall, this is a fairly average phone and we would not recommend it as there is more on offer for this price range in terms of features and quality.

I have had this phone for 4 years now and I feel its great! I text a lot and got used to the keypad very quickly. The battery life is amazing. The only initial problem i had was the back cover kept sliding off, but a bit of gaffa tape sorted that right out. After 4 years, the phone is now on its last legs, as when i flip it open, the screen is often blank, so i have to re-open it a number of times to see the screen. I am currently looking for a new phone, but i can't find one that is reliable and cheap (under £50) with a good battery life. I'm tempted to buy another one of these; camera, video, mp3 player, calendar, texts, calls, and games/apps (from a dodgey website!) What else do you need?! All these new fancy touch screen phones seem to break all the time, and they're so expensive!

i had this phone for 2 years and i think it was fantastic, the sounding is load, and for the megapixel of the phone i would say it was rather good, i never had any problem with this phone and i love the fact that it is so light and consistent, the only thing which is diffent from the walkman kind is that it dosnt have walkman but dont let this put you of has it has a mp3 built in which you can make albums and everything, the texting is good as any other phone, the games are great and the brightness it great, for the money i paid for it and the offer in which it is now i would say it is an bargin, its easy to see outside and it never crshed for me and i had it for 2 years, it has survived through the wash, bangs drops u name it and yet it is still working great, this is a great bujet phone and i highly recomend you buying this =]

I've had this phone for two years. It's done it's job for me, but I'm not obsessed with my phone. If you are one of those people who loves their phone, then this isn't the one for you. To be honest, the camera is practically useless. I can't make out peoples faces when I take pictures. The speaker is also very quiet compared to other phones. Overall score: 4.5/10

In the family we have had 4 of these for a couple of years and (other than accidentally destroying one by putting it through the washing machine while switched on - twice) have never had any problems with them. They are used as MP3 players constantly, either played through the car via the radio or tape adapter or via external speakers. They get a lot of abuse and, washing machine excepted, they stand up to it well just having to have a new crystal case occasionally. They are now dirt cheap 2nd hand and if you are looking for something to play MP3 and work well as a phone then go for it. If you want a top notch camera then why are you wasting your time reading this?

I love this phone, iv'e had it for like 2 years now and still not broke. I drop it on the floor and threw it a few times but it never seems to brake, just many scratches lmao. The camera isn't too good but it does the job if you just want it for a basic phone. When the memory gets low it does go slow. I love this fone but getting a new one as I feel it might go out on me soon. I would suggest this phone if you want a plain fone as the camera isn't good and doesnt include many exclusive features..xx..

I've had this phone for a year so I'll leave my comment. I'll be moving on to the K550i next month :). First, the looks. It's small and not very slim. Kindof chunky with an annoying hook at the back. As a result I preferred to go cargo or baggy. The camera, as others have touched upon, not the best. As with most SEs, it's okay in the daylight (okay because you can't expect much from a 0.4 VGA) and terrible at night. No flash so the 'night mode' doesn't make much of a difference. Four modes : Normal, Panorama, Burst and Frames. Also includes a fun FaceWarp. The buttons are okay for me. It takes a while but soon you get used to it. Especially coming from a person with big hands. The screen is so so. The external orange monochrome makes you squint to see it in bright daylight but the internal is fine. I never found any 'Style Up' covers in Malaysia so I can't comment on that. The menus are easy to use by the way. Also, the front cover is next to impossible to get off f or me. It plays MP3s although I find the internal memory lacking so you might want to get an M2 stick. Overall quite a decent phone but very basic. And only triband. Battery is okay. Don't really keep track but you should turn off Bluetooth because it drains the battery. Using the internet does that too. Bluetooth transfer is decent but I can't comment until I get my K550i and compare. MP3 player doesn't seem to drain battery much.

I have had this phone for a fairly long time now and i think it is perfecting fine. The camera is good enough, though a bit grainy, it doesnt make you wait for a long time, the bluetooth & infared works really well. For me this phone nevr freezes. You can change the theme to the camera which is PRETTY cool :]. Just a good basic phone, looks ok, works well, and has loud volume. Not very good viabrate though.

Got the phone recently, its a good, well working phone for the price. i got it for 350 malaysian ringgit which costs about 103.615 USD. pretty resonable if you ask me. connectivity is good. 20 meters bluetooth connection, fast USB recognition, IR is ofcourse lame(tell me if there are any IR connection that works GREAT.. Please). the picture.... quite ok for a phone taking that there is an option for extended size of pictures. but if youre taking still picture, be sure to stay totally still. nevertheless, its good for the price. try it. i totally recommend it if youre not a tech junky.

I've had this phone a couple of months now and I'm really pleased with it. The battery lasts for nearly a week and I find the keypad really easy for texting. Unlike the previous reviewer, who only gave this phone 2 stars, I don't use bluetooth and videos a lot - if I did I would expect to pay for a more sophisticated phone. I text a lot and make quite a few calls and it's proved to be a brilliant little phone.

I've always been a Nokia user, and have been daunted by the thought of changing phone brands, especially since Nokia is renowned for it's great user friendliness. However, after gettting the Z530i, i dare say that Sony Ericsson has come a long way, and maybe even surpassed Nokia. In short, the features of the Z530i: Good camera with real flash. Though the protruding koni shocks lens cover is prone to sliding open in your pocket. Very large, clear, and bright screen. Nice user interface and menus. Easy to use. Good organiser (calendar, alarms, etc.) Nice bundled software (Facewarp, 3D games) What attracts me to phones are its features, and this phone has most of the features u could want. Cons: Battery life seems shorter than what is advertised. Don't know if it's the network (3), but signal drops off and on, sometimes goes to roaming. Would like a PDF viewer. Phone does not come bundled with an external memory card.

This phone is only AUS$280.00 For that price it really is an AWESOME mobile! I brought a 512mb memery card for it, (AUS$50.00), and now I have 85 full mp3 songs on it, and still more space for new ones! The keypad does look like it would be hard to use, but it's not really that bad. I can now text quite fast on it! And the 'Monochrome' screen on the outside, It's the most easiest thing to read ever! I don't know where they got the CRAZY idea that it's hard to read! Even in the sunlight, you can read it with ease. I have had it for over 6 months, and it had frozen says, once or twice in that whole time. For the price, I recommend this phone Love it.

I had this phone for a couple of months now and i am yet to find a fault with it. It does everything a phone is suppose to do (calls and texts)I agree that the picture clarity is not outstanding but it is a phone not a camera. I am also especially pleased with amout of memory that this phone has. I would recommend it to anyone.

Have just got a Z530i and can't believe all the comments I have read about it being a bad phone. Come on its a phone not a camera all the extras are just fine! If you want excellence you have to spend! So all you moaners out there stop moaning please.

The phone is pretty good. The camera's not very good though and battery life could be better. As a phone its easy to use and comfortable in the hand. Speakerphone is loud enough to be heard whilst driving but obviously not as good as the bluetooth headset option that i got with my phone. Shop around and they can be got quite cheaply now. A decent, easy to use phone.

This phone i have got to say is the worst. i got this phone last year and thought that it wouldnt be so bad, but turns out that the camera quality is not good at all and the screen resolution is really poor. what really gets me is that sony ericsson have put really good features on this phone such as, bluetooth, infrared, mp3 player, expansion slot etc, but hadnt thought about the camera and screen. why not just put a TFT screen instead of a UBC one. Who puts a UBC screen on phones nowadays? sorry but you've let me down sony ericsson!

Just bought it 3 days for Just Rs. 5,900/- (131 US Dollars). Dont kno y such bad comments for this cute looking mobile worth its price. The Display is wonderful. Signal Strength and Battery is awesome. And an upgradable memory slot. Camera is working fine in my fone. with neat pictures. Just one problem. The battery takes 2 hours to get fully charged. Overall its a great fone...

A Good phone choice, Has blue tooth, a camera (although only VGA), hands free, speaker and removable memory. if it werent for the bugs and glitches. this would be the greatest value for money phone. Common bugs include bluetooth not detecting/ not working, randomly shuts itself off (usually from the impact of the cloing flip)Battery life image fake (e.g. showing a near full battery when the capacity was down to 20%. Also compared to the w300i the headphone jack is very lose and eaisily comes off.

i got this phone few months back. I think it's a great phone compare to the price. i dont have any problem with the bluetooth. i love the keypad. really nice to press (i text a lot!). The camera is ok i guess, it's not great, VGA, what do you expect. The only thing that slights me a bit is the screen resolution. But that's just a tiny bit of problem. This is truly a nice phone.

I think the sony ericsson z530i is brilliant because it is all that i want and my friends got it and i will only have it if it has bluetooth (as it does)music player as it does camera and video as it does so out of 10 8 or 9 out of 10

Its basically a walkman phone (w300i) but it isnt very loud thats the only thing i would say is bad about it. The bluetooth is all you would expect from a sony ericcson. It's got nice in build memory. Altogether its a very good phone for someone on a budget.
