  • Abstract:  Eindelijk weer een Android smartphone met een unieke feature. De eerste telefoon met een PlayStation certificaat. De introductie van Sony Ericsson Xperia Play werd voorafgegaan door de nodige geruchten en lekken . De gamepers leek vrijwel zeker dat de opv...

  • Uitschuifbaar gamepad, PlayStation 1- en Xperia Play-games, stereo-speakers, neemt goede foto’s
  • maar geen 720p-opname en zoomfunctie, gebruikte materialen voor behuizing laten te wensen over, geen dualcore-processor
  • De Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is niet helemaal geworden wat we er al jaren van hebben gehoopt. Het toestel komt eigenlijk gewoon jaren te laat, omdat er inmiddels al een hevige concurrentiestrijd aan de gang is op de smartphonemarkt.Desalniettemin weet de...

  • Wie met de Xperia Play een draagbare spelconsole hoopt te kopen met als extraatje de belfunctie, komt bedrogen uit. De langverwachte PlayStationtelefoon van Sony is in de eerste plaats een smartphone waarmee je ook een beetje kan gamen. De uitschuifbare c...

  • PSP-консоль, Надёжный шлейф между платами, Высокая производительность, Достойное время работы, Хороший звук
  • Пластиковый корпус, Средняя камера, Большие размеры, Не очень много игр в наличии
  • Да, несмотря на позиционирование и вроде бы весьма широкие возможности в роли игровой приставки, очень и очень неоднозначная вещь получилась у Сони. Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play, первый в своём роде гибрид PSP и смартфона, но даже авторы многочисленных обзор...

  • В общем, трудно не согласиться с тем, что изначально заявленная цена для Xperia Play была высока. Однако если вы зайдете в каталог price.ru , то увидите, что сейчас этот смартфон предлагают по цене от 15 500 рублей . При таком положении дел он выглядит и...

  • Abstract:  Уж за сколько времени до официального анонса муссировалась тема PSP-фона, сколько было выложено “концептов” в сеть и что уж говорить об огромном интересе публики к нашему сегодняшнему герою. SonyEricsson Xperia Play — и коммуникатор, и игровая консоль “в ...

  • выдвижной геймпад, сервис PlayStation Pocket
  • пока мало специализированных игр, заметный люфт половинок слайдера
  • Пока расстановка сил получается следующая. Для Sony Ericsson выпуск Play — безусловная выгода; для Sony — шанс оставить PSP во внимании публики; для пользователей — возможность приобрести гуглофон с геймпадом, на котором играть удобнее, чем на сенсорном ...

  • Проблем со связью у аппарата нет, у него очень неплохие динамики, звук вызова громкий и легко различимый. Виброзвонок из-за толщины корпуса посредственный. Если рассматривать аппарат как обычный телефон, то он проиграет большинству не только моделей своег...

  • Abstract:  Сначала в телефон внедрили простенькие игры и приложения, заменили органайзер и карманные переводчики, потом дошел черед до функционала Интернета, а теперь пришло время карманных приставок. Причем не какого-то там Gameboy первого поколения, а самой что ни...

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia Play готовили к выходу очень долго, первые слухи о Play Station-телефоне появились два-три года назад, а подробные спецификации и фотографии – в прошлом году. Официально Play объявили на Mobile World Congress 2011 в Барселоне, и с тех...
