The new R-series for Radio from Sony Ericsson, R300 turns the life back into simple. I was surprised by it as Sony Ericsson always adds the gimmick to its phone. But this time the design of R300 is very pithy. It focuses on the radio function only which combined AM/FM radio experience at the heart of the mobile phone. Let’s tune in to the R300 radio experience and try it out.

The package comes with a Battery, a Charger and a stereo headset.


Very standard phone layout. And it is a slim and small basic phone with 128x160 screen.


The keypad buttons are made with metal. Although it is not designed in a very large keypad layout, the touch and sensitivity is still very good.


Side shots. The phone is actually thin and not bulky.


The 0.3MP camera is located at the back of the phone. Obviously, it is a simple phone.


Here’s the loud-speaker at the back of R300.We have tested it as I think it is a high performance speaker with its 3D sound enhancement.


At the bottom of R300, there are three radio preset keys that allow you to tune-in to your favorite station of AM or FM Frequencies.


And it is an Audio Enhancer key allows you to activate the volume boost when listening to the radio through the speakers or experiencing 3D sound enhancement.


Standard Sony Ericsson menu layout. The icons look cute.


Tune-in to the FM station, you can see the layout is quite tidy.


Switch to AM station then. Well, it is user friendly to everyone, right?


Also, it can stand on the table like a mini radio.

As a low budget phone, it is really nicely designed and done with its eye-catching loudspeaker and the sounds even better.
