- Reception and call quality Call quality and reception is excellent...been using Xperia S for about 3 months, and so far no problems with it.
- Display Reality Display with Bravia Engine... I feel like bringing my Bravia in my pocket. Beautiful..
- Battery life with ICS update and the recent .45 update, battery life has improved dramatically. Normal to Heavy use with almost 1 and a half days of battery life.
- Camera 12 MP of intelligent beautiful Images and Full HD videos...
- Ease of use it's ANDROID! and the integration of social networking is a plus!
- Design and form factor Finding the form minimal..the Transparent Strip at the bottom of the bar, is a conversation piece in itself.
- Portability (size / weight) Not the lightest phone I had, but the weight provides a premium feel.
- Media support No comments
- Durability durable...dropped mine a couple of times...
- Ecosystem (apps, accessories, etc.) since ICS update, everything is seamless.
Detailed review
Xperia S came with Android Gingerbread out of the box. It made me a little apprehensive due to the fact that competitors were out with Ice Cream Sandwich already. The S was not really native to Gingerbread. However, after the ICS update and the latest Sony update to .45, the Xperia s proved itself quite an excellent find.
The physical aspects of the phone which include its dry and semi-rugged brick form is compensated by the thin transparent strip which perfectly combines a sort of retro yet modern look, which almost at all times, becomes Xperia S's focal point.
Performance wise, the update to Ice Cream Sandwich makes Xperia S one of the formidable players in the market today. The dual core processors allows the Xperia S to compete with even quad core phones (to which I find unfair), and makes a name for itself.
As experienced, the S satisfies my communication needs and most importantly satisfies my WOW factor. It's not as flashy as the S3 nor as loud as the One X, but the S's subtlety and composure makes me say, the price is all worth it.
