As with previous Sony Ericsson models, it offers an auto-focus feature and uses a photo light instead of a flash.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Sony Ericsson W610i” as mobile phone model. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2008, 1800, 1900—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Sony, Ericsson and W610i can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as mobile phone model. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2460872. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2008, 1800 and 1900.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
