Sony Xperia S hands-on

Upon closer inspection, one can find a translucent acrylic piece separating the phone towards the bottom. Indeed, it’s not something we tend to see on phones, which gives it a very fresh look, but it’s actually a part of the handset’s antenna system...

looks cheap from the back..but a sweet piece of phone nevertheless. John, you were lost on that app drawer, haha.(hitting the central button instead of the right one to discard the delete app option)

It is rubbered plastic. Too bad its not aluminum like the xperia ion...
John nearly said sony ericsson at the end! Lol

It doesn't look cheap at all, Samsung's phones look cheap.

It looks cool, not cheap. I think it will be very light, maybe under 120g...
Surely I will consider to buy it as upgrade from arc.
In fact I am in dilema: Motorola RAZR or Xperia S...

Pretty neat actually.. Didn't expect ICS to be that confusing though.. did Sony modify it?

The design is pretty good, but i wish they would have done better than arc. Arc has a better design than this

I like what I see! But i'm still bummed about the processor...I rather wait for them to use the newer "S4" Socs with Krait CPU's and the latest Adreno GPU's...And I prefer more metal in the design...Otherwise, this would be my next smartphone...

Well, I'm not big on Android but if T-Mobile carries this phone and skips out on a flagship Windows Phone, I will be saying goodbye to Windows Phone. This phone is just pure sexiness. I love the design.

In regards to this phone, The only disappointment is the actual name of the device. Beats me why'd they name it like that. . .

Nice phone, but Android, no thanks. When will Sony begin making WP phones?

Too bad it doesn't follow the Arc's lines. And too bad that iconic SE logo on the back won't be there when the phone comes out.
Looks god though, but I'll be missing SE's :(. Now when it's SONY branded, I'm not sure it'll follow the uniqueness of the SE's phones...

Why is it written Sony Ericsson on top of the display ??

'Cause the new branding hasn't been approved yet by some regulatory commissions. But it'll happen for sure before the launch of the Xperia S. The final models will be Sony branded.
I just hope that they'll keep the small Ericsson cirlcle on the back as a sign of inheritance. Unfortunately they won't though, cause it's Ericsson's property :(.

Il tasto centrale attiva continuamente il display quando il Sony Ericsson Arc S é in tasca!
Perché non modificate il software?
