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

Whether the Xperia S is recommended or not comes down to price – if it's priced right (the upper end of the mid-range tier) the Xperia S can do very well. I can say right now that this is not the best Android phone out there right now – look the the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, or HTC One X for that –...

Sony Xperia S review

Last year HTC experienced a massive loss in the smartphone market due to poor sales and a lack of brand awareness. This was in part due to the massive success of the Samsung Galaxy S2 which pretty stormed the Android market for 2012.

Sony Ericsson has always been a mixed bag of nuts for me. I appreciate the company's tries to bring in different new features, and extend the capabilities of Android. However, at the end of the day, I was always left with the feeling that they didn't give their best, and didn't quite think it...

For a smartphone distinguished by a 4.3 inch screen, the Xperia S is a giant. It stands as tall as Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, and that's big considering the latter has a larger 4.65 inch screen.
Pros:
  • Thought out design
  • Great multimedia
  • Social software
Cons:
  • No ICS out of the box
  • Tall
