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 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.

Just in case you did not know, recently Sony Ericsson decided to part ways with Sony buying up the Ericsson part of the business. This means all future phones will be Sony branded and this Xperia S is the first of this new batch of android powered smartphones.

Sony Xperia S Review
Sony's Xperia line has always been about refining. Back in 2008, their first Xperia X1 was clearly the benchmark for how a high-end Windows Mobile device should look and perform. Sadly, Sony Ericsson's adoption of Android has been a different story.

Sony Xperia S Review
Sony has a lot riding on its success in the Android arena; since transitioning from feature phones with the Xperia X10 in 2010, the company has supported Google's mobile OS to the hilt, and badly wants to position itself as a true rival to the likes of Samsung and HTC.

NXT of kin
The Sony Xperia S is the current champion of the NXT series and comes aptly armed with a tack-sharp 720p screen and 12MP worth of stills. It sets a new design trend for the Xperia line and brings massive improvements to it.

- very high pixel density
- * great camera
- * large built-in storage
Cons:
- * a little chunky
- could have been thinner

- sexy design with a solid feel
- Insane 720p display with 340ppi

Cons:
- Android 2.3.7
- Over 10 Sony apps that shouldn't be installed by default
- Shaky video
- Bad touch response
- Takes a long time to charge
- No automatic brightness
