Nowadays, the cell phone manufacturers are launching 8-megapixel camera phone and Sony is also among them with the launch of C905. The handset’s 8-megapixel offers a large number of advanced features such as red eye removal, BestPic, Smart Contrast, Xenon Flash and Image Stabilisation.

Measuring 104 x 49 x 18mm and weighing 136g, the C905 not only offers excellent camera functionality but it also offers all the latest and advanced features that you will find on high-end devices. The C905 supports Quadband and is equipped with Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and Accelerometer.

The C905 sports a 2.4-inch QVGA display which offers the native resolution of 240×320 pixels and the screen is covered with scratch resistant glass. Two shortcut keys are located just above the display. One shortcut key shows the last captured image and the second one is the shortcut to gallery and takes you into the scene mode menu. Seven controls are located below the display which it include Call/End buttons along with D-pad. You can access the keypad by sliding the phone. The keypad is flat and provides nice texting experience with easy typing.

The right spine of the device features volume/zoom controls, dedicated camera shutter key, shooting mode, and preview button. The camera key is lit nicely with blue light and it glows when the camera is in use. The left spine houses a M2 card slot along with Sony’s proprietary charger/headphone socket and there is no 3.5 headset jack, which is a bit disappointing.
