Pros:
  • Great snapper
  • clear bright display
  • handy NFC tags
  • nice design

Sony Xperia S

So Sony has finally rid itself of Ericsson for its phone division, and the first flagship phone of this new Sony brand is the Sony Xperia S. With a high resolution screen and fancy 12-megapixel camera, it should be a contender for our favourite Android phone, but to our minds it hasn't quite done...
Pros:

Cons:
  • No expandable memory
  • Camera is way below expectations
  • Screen and design don't quite set our hearts alight
