Sony Ericsson Z520i Specifications, Tests and Review

The Sony Ericsson Z520i has a height of 83 mm, a width of 46 mm and a thickness of 24 mm. The weight of the phone is 94 g.

LCD displays are currently taking a back seat. This is mainly due to higher power consumption. In addition, they have the disadvantage of lower colour contrast, which can be reflected e.g. in the resulting photos. On the other hand, phones with LCD displays are in general cheaper than those with OLED technology.

Display Resolution of Sony Ericsson Z520i is 128 x 160 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px.

The rear camera of the Sony Ericsson Z520i has only one lens. Single lens is more typical for older phones or lower-end phones with lower quality cameras. The rear cameras of modern phones nowadays are usually equipped with two, three and sometimes even five rear camera lenses.

Standby time is 400 hours and it expresses the maximum time your phone can last on a single charge when you are not actively using it. Talk time, or we can say battery life when making calls, then indicates amount of time your phone will last from a full charge if you are constantly on a call. Sony Ericsson Z520i is provided with a talk time about 540 minutes.

Basic connectivity standards also include Bluetooth, making it easy to communicate wirelessly with other devices such as headphones, tablets, speakers and smartwatches.
