The Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S is a powerful Android 2.3.4 smartphone with a hefty 1.4 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM and a 4.2-inch display. The phone's features include a 8.1-megapixel camera with autofocus, 3D panorama, flashlight and 720 video recording, FM radio, microSD card, DLNA, Wi-Fi and GPS.
Main disadvantages
- The competition has dual-core CPUs and better GPUs
- Display has poor viewing angles
- No front-facing camera
- No smart dialing
- Non hot-swappable microSD card slot
- Shutter key isn’t particularly comfortable
To be fair though, the Xperia arc S comes with Android 2.3.4 out of the box, which the previous Xperia phones released in 2011, will be getting later on. The 2.3.4 update brings some good new stuff:
- Sony 3D sweep panos: panorama shots that can be rendered on compatible 3D TVs
- Screen capture - grab a screenshot anywhere on your Xperia
- Enhanced Facebook integration
- Swipe text input - works just like the popular Swype, but it's T9 Trace
- USB on-the-go functionality (requires Sony Ericsson LiveDock)
