Sony Xperia S Review

Sony parted company with Sony Ericsson last year, so we have been waiting with bated breath to see what kind of handsets the Japanese manufacturer would produce on its ownsome. And the good news is that the first device to come out of the Sony stable is a nicely designed handset with a great snapper...
Pros:
  • Great snapper
  • clear bright display
  • handy NFC tags
  • nice design
Cons:
  • No Ice Cream Sandwich on board 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'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
