With a 6.44” display isn’t this just way too big? Or is it just the right size for media consumption. There are always two points of view.

It is available in four color versions - Black, White, Purple and Lime.]]>PhonesTue, 04 Jun 2013 03:40:00 -0500http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-M_id7875/discussionsPhone Arenahttp://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-ZR_id7845Sony Xperia ZR is compliant with IP55 and IP58 for dust and water resistance. That means it can be used under water to depths of 1.5 meters (just under 5 feet) for up to 30 minutes. The CPU is a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 quad-core unit tuned to 1.5GHz. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is on board with 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage (microSD up to 32GB). The display is 4.55-inches, TFT 1280x720 which works out to 323PPI. The main camera is a 13MP Exmor RS sensor.]]>PhonesMon, 13 May 2013 01:00:00 -0500http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-ZR_id7845/discussionsPhone Arenahttp://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-L_id7786Sony Xperia L is a stylish mid-range device that stands out primarily with photographic skills. There's an 8MP camera on its back with an Exmor RS sensor that enables cool features like HDR mode while shooting photos or video, just like on the Xperia Z flagship. In addition, you get a dedicated shutter key that can snap a photo in under a second straight from the lock screen. Other than that, the Sony Xperia L is your typical mid-range device. It is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus SoC - the Qualcomm MSM8230 running at 1GHz. The 4.3-inch screen has a resolution of 854 by 480 pixels so it isn't quite HD, although it should meet the needs of the average consumer. You can have the smartphone in any color, as long as it is black, white, or red. The exact capacity of the Xperia L battery has not been disclosed, but it should be capable of delivering up to 8 hours and 30 minutes of continuous talk time, or 7 hours and 36 minutes of video playback. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean comes out of the box, sprinkled with a number of interface tweaks on top.]]>PhonesMon, 18 Mar 2013 05:43:00 -0500http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-L_id7786/discussionsPhone Arenahttp://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-SP_id7785The Sony Xperia SP sports aluminum frame and Sony's NXT design cues, with an illuminated transparent strip at the bottom, which pulsates in different colors, depending on the notification. Still, we get this year's power/lock key, and a variety of different colors. It also sports a generous 4.6" 720p display, 1.7 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro, 1GB of RAM, and an 8 MP Exmor RS camera sensor to round up a good mid-range package. It is still amazing that now we are calling such a handset mid-range, but that's the law of the land in the Android world. The handset is likely destined for the European and Asian markets with price tag rumors hovering around the EUR 300 mark SIM-free.]]>PhonesMon, 18 Mar 2013 05:42:00 -0500http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-SP_id7785/discussionsPhone Arenahttp://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-Tablet-Z_id7684The big news about Sony's Xperia Z Android tablet is not that it sports a 1920x1200 pixels display and quad-core processor - after all, we had the iPad 3/4 and Nexus 10 before it - but that the Full HD resolution screen is crammed into an extremely thin 6.9mm waterproof chassis, with stellar design to boot. It is also the first Xperia slate to feature the signature power button design as a new design hallmark of Sony's Xperia line.]]>PhonesThu, 24 Jan 2013 06:11:00 -0600http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-Tablet-Z_id7684/discussionsPhone Arenahttp://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-ZL_id7538If you thought Xperia Z is amazing, but could make do without the waterproof part of it, Sony's got you covered, as it introduced the Xperia ZL sibling, with an even more compact design. With its 5.18" x 2.74" x 0.38", it is shorter than the Z, and a soft-touch curved back nestles it comfortably in your palm grip. The microSIM and microSD slots are situated under a large flap at the back bottom, and the phone is graced with a dedicated shutter key, unlike the glassy, watertight Z. Specswise it is identical - a 5" Full HD screen with Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2, and the typical for the tech weak viewing angles, a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro, and a 13 MP rear cam with HDR video capabilities. The funky part here is not only the circular power/lock key on the right, but also the front-facing camera, which is situated in the lower right corner of the phone, where you are used to find one of the Android navigational keys, which here are on-screen. Besides the shape and size, there is a slight difference in battery capacity between the two - the ZL has a sealed 2,370 mAh unit, which is a tad bigger than the one in the Z. The long-rumored IR blaster is indeed here, with the accompanying app that allows you to use the phone as a remote control for a wide variety of TVs, home stereos and other assorted electronics around the house.]]>PhonesMon, 07 Jan 2013 19:00:00 -0600http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-ZL_id7538/discussionsPhone Arenahttp://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-Z_id7539The specs on the Xperia Z are what we expected from the rumors. It will be a 5" 1080p display, a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, LTE, a 2330mAh battery, and the highly anticipated new 13MP Exmor RS camera sensor. As we saw in leaked images, the Exmor RS camera sensor will allow for HDR video recording, and a newly announced feature is that it will also offer a 10fps burst mode at 9MP. The phone also has NFC and a microSD card for those of you looking for that. An interesting addition to the Xperia Z is that the phone will be water resistant to a depth of one meter. To achieve this, the Xperia Z has glass panels on the front and back, as well as plastic strips on the sides that cover the ports. And, they cover all of the ports from microSD card slot, to headphone jack, to microUSB. The phone will be running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which is part of the reason why the March release date is so disappointing, because that will be coming up on Google I/O and the expected announcement of Android 5.0, although Sony has promised an upgrade to 4.2 "soon after launch".]]>PhonesMon, 07 Jan 2013 19:00:00 -0600http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-Z_id7539/discussionsPhone Arenahttp://www.phonearena.com/phones/Sony-Xperia-E-dual_id7595Sony Xperia E dual is an affordable and compact dual SIM handset.

This, however, isn't where the interesting features of this display end. Sony has also employed its WhiteMagic technology here in the Xperia T.

Internal memory is 4GB, but thankfully we have a microSD card slot to expand that with up to 32GB more. The showstopper here is the battery - it is not every day that we see a 1750mAh in a 4" affordable device, and Sony is quoting the excellent 8 hours and 30 minutes of video playback with it.

Not too shabby for something that is also meant to resist the elements, don't you think? The unit itself is 10.7 millimeters thick, which is a bit on the chubby side, but at least it is rather light as it tips the scales at only 120 grams. The smartphone will come in white, black, and pink. On the software side of things, expect Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich running out of the box, further enhanced using Sony's usual set of Android customization tweaks.

Sony fit a sizable bright 9.4-inch IPS LCD display with an okay resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The device comes with Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, but Sony has promised it will soon bump it up to Jelly Bean. Powering the device is a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, so we can be sure that performance will be top-notch, as long as Sony doesn't mess something up as far as software goes. The camera of the Xperia Tablet S should be pretty decent, with Sony's great heritage in this area. The Tablet S comes with an 8-megapixel main unit, complemented by a 1-megapixel front-facing one. When it comes to ports you have a full-sized SD port, USB and HDMI.
