The editors didn't like
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play doesn’t have the 720p video recording ability
Which now a days is standard in many of the smartphone releases. The wireless data here is not the latest faster 4G
It’s the conventional slower 3G.Random PostsTags

L and R buttons are a little awkward
Making games like Battle Bears cumbersome to play
None of the buttons are backlit
Screen is on the dim side
The gaming controller can be awkward when you think a keyboard should be there
My review unit came with a 2gig card and wouldn't let me put many games on it
Conclusions & Final Thoughts
As much as I like this one
I think unless you are very interested
Volume button placement not optimal
Controller doesn't work with all games
Display could be brighter
Notification LED oddly placed
The Sony Ericsson Xperia does not allow you to watch movies or television shows.
Downloading and storing games can be a tad confusing due to the various platforms you can purchase them from.Look and Feel...
Unexceptional gaming performance on a phone that needs it
Minuscule mixed PlayStation Suitenative game library right now
Subpar camera
Especially knowing Sony Ericsson's other models
Underwhelming call quality.
Thick and clunky
Cheap build quality
Lack of gaming titles available
Lacking 4G LTE and a dualcore processor
This advanced device could become dated quickly.
Doesn't integrate with the world of PlayStation. Not the latest graphics hardware. A bit thick and heavy.
No LTE support
Small internal memory
Small Android buttons
Analog touch joystick not very responsive
Lacks 4G
Doesn't support video chat apps yet
No dual core CPU and no 4G LTE
Bulky
Menu navigation stutters
PlayStation Suite needs work
Dim
Woeful screenLack of compelling contentPoor video recording (no 720p)
Weight
Lack of brightness
Not the best use of Gingerbread
Lacks 720p video recording capability
Now a standard in smartphone releases. Wireless data is slower 3G standard
Not 4G. Only one PlayStation title available at launch
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play's touch-screen gaming controls are not as responsive and precise as we would like

Android 2.3, bonne nouvelle version de la surcouche Sony Ericsson, Client e-mail efficace, Hauts parleurs excellents, Manette coulissante qui permet de jouer de façon optimale
Appareil épais, Finition plastique, boutons L / R moyens, Joysticks tactiles pas pratiques
