Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Unboxing Pictures & Review
It is indeed not an exaggeration to claim Xperia Arc as the best Android smartphone from Sony Ericsson by far. The classy flagship device repairs what Xperia X10 being criticized and comes along with some of the best features Sony Ericsson has ever presented.Inside the box you can find: a Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc Phone, of course, a battery, a charger, a handsfree, and a user’s guide.
The 4.2-inch LCD screen is a LED-backlit TFT one. Unlike the over-bright AMOLED display, this is able to display more subdued and accurate colours, with more contrast and less noise which makes the screen a pleasure to watch. Located under the superwide screen there's 3 physical front keys which are both decent-looking and easy to hit.
Further adding to the aesthetic, the waistline is slimmed down to 8.7mm at the thinnest point. Due to the innovative concave design, the device is made smaller and thinner. The superlight and slender body owns a sensual bodyline which is appealing to see and comfortable to touch.
The 8.1-megapixel camera is definitely another highlight of the device. Photo quality is guaranteed by the Exmor R CMOS sensor, a really fresh technology which is just recently found in new compact cameras. It can also take HD videos even in low-light environment. However, location of the camera is too close to the edge, making it extremely easy to be covered by fingers.
On top of the handset you can find a relatively small (yet slightly eleavated) power key and the micro HDMI port which enables HDMI output from the phone to TV screens.
All in all, the beautiful design and powerful specs makes Xperia Arc a truly awesome handset. With a truly classy wafer-thin body, the handset manages to offer exciting new technologies like the Exmor R sensor, the Mobile Bravia Engine. These all contributes to the birth of a top tier smartphone.

Olympus XZ-1 Unboxing Pictures & Review
With an appealing matte black and clear-cut appearance, XZ-1 proves to be much more than that. Without compromising its trademark stunning design, Olympus guarantees its performance by offering the superb Zuiko lens, super-sensitive CCD sensor and so forth. Shall we take a closer look at the camera for more?Inside the box you can find: a Olympus XZ-1 Digital Camera, of course, a Li-50B Battery Pack, a F-2AC USB Cable & Charger, a AV Cable, a Neck Strap, a CD-ROM and a User's Guide.
The built-in Olympus Zuiko lens is certainly a big selling point of XZ-1. Indeed, the high-end optics company is famous for manufacturing sophisticated lens that used to appear only on SLRs. XZ-1 is thus the very first compact camera installed with a ZUIKO lens.
The neat tiny pop-up flash sitting on the top left corner of the camera’s back plate is definitely a delicate treat by Olympus. It can be raised manually to control remotely and fire compatible flashguns.
The rear panel is dominated by the high-resolution, 3.0" 621k (VGA equivalent) OLED display. The gorgeous screen is able to offers superb brightness and contrast with better viewing angles and better battery life than usual LCD displays do.
The rear control dial around the four-way pad allows the users to set shutter speed in manually, exposure compensation in different modes and also to navigate menus. Together with another control dial around the lens and other keys, settings-changing is now made convenient and easy.
On top of the camera, you can find the power button, the shutter release, zoom rocker and mode dial. The iAuto mode has always appeared on any E-PL cameras. XZ-1, more than that, also features other most-used control like the P,A,S, M modes, the Art Filters and the Low Light modes.
The AP-1 accessory port can therefore be used to connect the brilliant VF-2 external viewfinder, SEMA-1 external microphone or MAL-1 LED macro lights yet not the recently-announced PENPal Bluetooth add-on.
All in all, XZ-1 is surely worthy of being called as a class-leading compact.
