Oh i read quickly and missed the ref to X1 and as I was reading a post on the C702 and C902 I thought they were meant to have VGA video now that would have been a shocker!

c702 is like what k550 is to k750.

when k550 was announced, people though of it as an upgrade to k750 camera wise. it turned out to be that k550's focal length is 1mm shorter than k750. thus the noisier pics in low light.

now comes c702 which has also a focal length 1mm shorter than k800.
anyways, 4.2mm isn't that bad.

imo, mr dicky will not disappoint camphone lovers with the first two C phones. after all, c702 and c902 are christening models of a brand new series that directly carries an index truly representing the cybershot name.. thats why i have high hopes for these two C phones

so lets just wait for the photo shots of c702 and c902 and see for ourselves

I used the 902 at the SE event in London, but don't read this as a proper review.

1) The 902 feels nice in the hand. It's fairly heavy, and my only concern was that it could be easy to drop if you're using it as a camera. When you hold it, you'll see what I mean. The K850i might be too chunky, but when you're using it as a camera instead of a phone, a bit more bulk actually helps.

2) The speed of operation is MUCH quicker than the K850i. Has it got a faster processor, or is it optimised code? If it's faster, that's not good news for the K850i owners waiting for the elusive update. If it is optimised code, then this is what the K850i might one day be like.

3) The touch screen icons are very responsive, but it does make the screen smaller than it could have been.

4) The slide out camera is odd; you slide it from half way down the phone - and it leaves an area above the screen that will attract dirt and dust. Is the design too clever for its own good?

5) The picture I took and then reviewed on screen (but zoomed in) still shows all the same problems as the K850i. At 100%, the K850 doesn't take good photos with loads of fringing and artefacts. While the photos posted on here at 25-50% can look STUNNING, you can still see how this phone lags a long way behind ordinary cameras with 5MP sensors.

6) The media player flies, but that might have been because there wasn't much content and it had a small, or no, memory card. The K850i crawls when you use a large capacity card, so - like point 2 - is this down to the card, a faster processor or optimised code?

7) The new photo flash LED didn't seem much brighter than any other LED/twin-LED setup. However, it's more important that it works well with the sensor. The models at the event weren't configured properly, meaning all the pictures had a very bad yellow tint to them. Perhaps they were still set up with K850i camera drivers expecting a Xenon flash/colour temperature.

The C902 is no doubt an impressive phone, and we won't have to wait all year for it to come out. However, I am also very impressed with the G900 and think it has the better UI (the camera interface on the G900 is NOTHING like other UIQ devices, and being all touchscreen means you can point at areas on the screen to select a point of focus etc).

In any case, this is going to be a good year for SE if this is what they're doing. Compare to Nokia which didn't really advance things at all, but rather increased their portfolio with variations of current models.

@jmcomms

what about the video? 30fps? what resolution?
the face detection feature detects how many faces in one shooting?

Noticed this in C902 white paper It will be interesting to see how much difference does it make.

The K850i records pretty good video, even if it is just QVGA (not a problem for anyone that is only going to share video with sites like YouTube or Facebook). The audio is especially surprising, so stereo could be an excellent improvement.
