Sony Xperia S review

The Sony Xperia S looks good and packs a decent set of hardware components, including an excellent screen and camera. Aside from the standard Android complaint of abysmal battery life, the phone is let down by its main control buttons – a triumph of art over function – and cluttered and out-of-date...

Sony Xperia S

The Sony Xperia S has an undeniably gorgeous HD screen, high-quality audio, an impressive camera and plenty of clout. But it's let down by clunky handset design and software that could be more streamlined.

Sony Xperia S review

In the end, you're left with a phone of decent design, though sporting a few questionable decisions. It boasts excellent internals and performance, a great screen and good battery life; but it has a lackluster camera and unimpressive and generally unnecessary software tweaks.

The Sony Xperia S is definitely one of the more stylish phones out on the market, with its angular body hosting a beautiful LED screen. However, it falls short on the OS, which is outdated and encumbered with unnecessary software.

Sony Xperia S review

The Xperia S is a solid ‘first' Android smartphone from Sony, but there are a few too many foibles for us to recommend it - particularly at this price. Shipping with Android 4.0 ICS would certainly lift our opinion, but we doubt the imminent upgrade will improve the weak battery life, or sort out...

We're also nonplussed that the battery can't be removed. We aren't fans of any handset which has a non removable battery. Overall, though, there are more plusses than minuses with the Xperia S, with a decent camera and fantastic screen perhaps showing the way ahead for Sony in future.
