Sony Ericsson is all set to rule the mobile phone market once again. Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is a newly launched phone by the company whose popularity is reaching the new heights. The amazing display of 4.2 inches covers almost the entire phone. The thickness of the phone varies due to the arch shape of the phone. The unique shape is a major factor behind its popularity. Also, the chrome strip which is running around the body also enhances its appeal to a great extent. Even iPhone 4 has this kind of strip but the one in Sony Ericsson Arc is far much better. The irresistible look of the phone will surely impress you to a great extent. The screen is not only big in size but also provides you with some really fine imaging solutions. The Bravia mobile engine technology is used in the screen.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc has got an eight-megapixel camera, which to a great extent click DSLR like pictures. The various camera features helps to get the best out of the picture. The camera of this phone is among the best available in mobile phone. You can enjoy HD recording in this phone. If you want to transfer the HD files to your PC or notebook, then you can do it easily with the HDMI port that you will get with this phone. The social networking features are not only limited to Facebook and Twitter, as you will also find other social networking integration in Sony Xperia Arc .

The Android platform is among the best out there to compete with Apple and its market dominating iPhone, and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is a great example of the alternatives out there. While Motorola’s popular Droid series of Android phones won’t be making it across the Atlantic to the UK, the Xperia Arc will prove you are not missing anything.

The first thing you will notice with this phone is how incredibly thin it is. For the power that modern smart phones are running at, it is quite impressive that the Arc measures 8.7mm at its thinnest, in the middle, and 9mm at its thickest, at the ends. Weighing in at 117g really sells how remarkably thin it is; you may have problems leaving the house believing you’ve forgotten your phone when it was in your pocket the entire time.

The touchscreen measures in at 4.2 inches, allowing multi-touch for easier navigation and zoom. While not as good as the iPhone 4’s 640×690 pixel display, the Arc’s 480×854 pixel screen is still vibrant and accurate in its presentation of colours. However, where the iPhone has greatly frustrated its fan base in its lack of Flash support, the Android 2.3 does run Flash so you can experience much of the online content out there that iPhone users cannot. So, you’ll have no problem viewing Fosters’ online videos of Reeves and Mortimer!

The battery life of the Arc will vary with each user’s usage, varying from 1 day to 2 days before needing to be recharged. While not extraordinary, there are worse performing batteries out there but you should be prepared to charge quite often.

The Arc boasts a decent camera which takes photos well in the light and the dark and is capable of shooting 720p high definition video which is very smooth to use, overall more than you’ll need for a phone’s camera.

On the whole, the Xperia Arc impresses in a lot of areas but excels in few. If you are looking for a phone that will do the smartphone basics and do them well then it is a fantastic phone for you but it is not starting a revolution.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a smartphone developed by Sony Ericsson and is the latest release of the Xperia branded series of smartphones. The phone is running on the Android operating system and uses Android 2.3, the latest version, otherwise called Gingerbread. It is the first ever smartphone that is PlayStation certified which means that it can play PlayStation games, and currently there are around 50 of them that have been ported for this phone.
The public got their first glimpse of the phone in February 2011 when it was showcased at the 2011 Mobile World Congress in Spain, though it will not be available for UK customers until 28th March.

The phone features a sliding section but rather than having a keyboard the slider is very similar to the PlayStation Portable Go (PSP Go). There are PlayStation type buttons along with a pair of touch-pads and other buttons. Naturally the phone also shares the same capacitive 854 x 480 pixel touchscreen as the Xperia X10.

The hardware is somewhat of an improvement over the X10. It uses the same Snapdragon processor which is clocked at 1GHz, buy in addition there is a dedicated graphics processer, the Qualcomm Adreno GPU and a faster memory. Otherwise the 5.1 megapixel camera and other features closely resemble the X10.
Certainly this is a smartphone built for the gamers market and although this is a niche, it is a very big niche and one that has been anticipating the launch of such a phone since 2006 when Sony Computer Entertainment filed a patent for one.

Ever since then there have been numerous official and unofficial leaks regarding the phone’s development. It seems that the project suffered a number of setbacks and at one time was actually cancelled. There were also some political setbacks and it took some time before Sony and Sony Ericsson were able to come up with a deal that both organisations were happy with.

Was it all worth the wait and the effort? Naturally only time will tell but so far it seems that for gamers the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play ticks just about all the boxes. head over to the phones4u site today to see all the new Sony Ericsson Xperia deals.
