Sony Xperia S is the first product from newly formed Sony Mobile division after the company bought out Ericsson's stake in Sony Ericsson. It sports a beautiful design and comes with some big upgrades from last-years' models like 12.1MP camera and 720p display. But, are these upgrades enough for us to forget the presence of dated software? Read on to find out.Hardware
Sony's design prowess is clearly visible in Xperia S; it looks simple but is unique and distinctive. It might not be the lightest or the thinnest phone on the planet, but the Xperia S stands out nonetheless. Be it the transparent bar below the capacitive buttons, or the flat sides of the phone, the modern design sets it apart from the crowd.

  • First Android phone, best android phone.
    Ram Prasad (May 18, 2014) on Gadgets 360
    My first Android phone, purchased it with my hard earned money. It was my companion until it was crashed in an accident. It is an amazing phone, ask anyone who owned it, they'll tell the same. The design & build quality is solid, but a metal body could?ve been better, ?cause it gives you that rich feel (example the iphones?), in spite of this phone has a good weight; not heavy but not light either. Display is stunningly beautiful. The touch is as smooth as butter. With dual core on board, the performance is great & fast unless you've opened too many apps. The camera takes brilliant photos even in low light & I?ve compared it iPhone 4 & S3, and honestly it's better than that. Walkman player is superb & playback is impressive. Call quality is pretty good on the both the ends. It is very comfortable to operate it in single hand. Battery performance is below average, that's a real drawback for a premium phone like this. This earns my recommendation if you're not a gaming freak, because that drains the battery.
