The Sony Xperia S is a phone a lot of people have been looking forward to ever since it was announced by the newly formed Sony Mobile back at CES. It is Sony Mobile's first flagship Android device so I was expecting they would go all-out on it.

Sony's has launched its first solo smartphone effort with the Xperia S and it's a solid debut thanks to a fresh design and a range of impressive features. The Xperia S is a well-put-together device for Sony Mobile to kick off its product line after parting company with Ericsson.

The Xperia S touts itself as Sony's flagship Android smartphone that was announced earlier this year, though we are disappointed that it has not been equipped with the latest quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 mobile processor, nor preloaded with Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
