Sony Xperia S review

The Xperia S is larger and less flamboyant than last year's Xperia Arc, offering rock-solid performance behind the highest quality display you'll find anywhere today. The case could be a little more stylish and the capacitive buttons can be slightly awkward, but those issues are soon forgotten when...

Good Quality Device

The Xperia S is a superb device infact it's the best handset I've used so far. The Xperia x10 was my first ever android phone and I loved it.. The XS takes it to a whole new level.

Sony Xperia S Review

Stripped off of the Ericsson tag, Sony is rolling solo and is all set to launch their NXT series of Android smart phones. Heading the pack is the Sony Xperia S (codenamed " Nozomi "), a 4.3-inch beauty with a massive 1280 x 720 resolution.
Pros:
  • 1280 x 720 LCD is perfect for movies Decent performance and battery life Brings Sony vibes (and media) to your phone NFC Tag
Cons:
  • Chunky with weak build quality No Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Camera output is only superficially good

The Sony Xperia S is a landmark phone. It's the first phone to have the Sony sans Ericsson branding, it's the first flagship to integrate Sony's cross platform Music and Video Unlimited at launch, it's Sony's flagship handset for at least the first half of 2012.
Pros:
  • Classical design
  • Great HD screen
  • Fantastic camera
  • Attractive UI

loving it!

Great phone, amazing resolution, takes some great pictures when the lighting is good, and I just cant get enough of the transparent bar! The only drawbacks would be that the battery life is not great, I use my phone alot and am having to charge it on average 3 times a day.

Sony Xperia S

The Xperia S is packed to the brim with great ideas, new tech and hardware that work well. Operating it all is made easy by Sony's good NXT user interface, too. We do wish the LCD panel was better when viewed off-axis and wasn't plagued with colour-banding issues, but these are relatively minor...
Pros:
  • HD-resolution screen
  • NFC implementation is great
  • HDMI port
  • Quick-launch camera software is very fast
Cons:
  • LCD screen could be better
  • Average battery life
  • Non-removable battery
  • Non-expandable memory

Sony Xperia S

You'll notice the absence of Ericsson in the name of this latest smartphone from Sony, but is this more than a change of name? Has Sony jettisoned the dead weight of Ericsson for the future or are we in for more of the same?
Pros:
  • HD-resolution screen
  • NFC implementation is great
  • HDMI port
  • Quick-launch camera software is very fast
Cons:
  • LCD screen could be better
  • Average battery life
  • Non-removable battery
  • Non-expandable memory
