Sony Xperia S in-depth review -
After Sony's much-publicised split with Ericsson last year, we were keen to seen what solo smartphones the Japanese giant would concoct. Thankfully the Sony Xperia S is more John Lennon than Ringo Starr, a beautifully designed media mobile that packs an excellent camera and actually makes proper use...
Pros:
- Sharp
- vibrant screen
- excellent camera
- desirable design
- useful NFC tags
Cons:
- Back scuffs easily
- not yet Ice Cream Sandwich

Sony's Xperia S Android phone is the company's first product release following its acquisition of the Sony Ericsson joint venture last October. The Xperia S has a great screen, a good camera and looks every bit the premium device, but it has too many niggling flaws to immediately recommend.
Pros:
- Excellent display
- Slick performance and user interface
- Decent battery life
Cons:
- No expandable memory
- Terrible capacitive shortcut keys
- Still waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich

Sony Xperia S – all Sony, no Ericsson – new design, HD display and 12 megapixels camera
The Xperia S is already available for pre-order in the UK for a hefty 450 pounds (~$700), and it should be coming to the US soon enough, although no specific date has been announced yet.

Sony Xperia S review
The Sony Xperia S is the first product to emerge from the newly consolidated Sony Mobile group. Although it'll inevitably be treated as the bellwether for Sony's attempt at going it alone on the mobile front, this phone's design and development can rightfully be attributed to the former Sony...
Pros:
- Attractive
- distinctive design
- High-definition display
- Strong camera performance
- Good voice clarity and reception
Cons:
- Ships with dated software
- Color banding may spoil display for some
- Still no good reason to care about PlayStation certification
- No microSD card slot or user-accessible battery

Sony Xperia S Review
The Sony Xperia S is something of a smartphone stepchild: the first smartphone to bear Sony's sole brand in recent years, but developed under the loving care of the Sony Ericsson partnership the Japanese company bought itself out of.
