With few bugs

Good price
Gingerbread
Battery Life

Buttons afford much better control in certain types of games
Phone gives a new platform for old-school favorites like Crash Bandicoot
Analog pads are an innovative compromise

Front Camera is nice for video calling
Internet Speeds Are Good
Gaming controller is kind of cool
Controller makes this phone feel like a dedicated gaming device
Nice camera
Great sound quality
This handheld video game console from Sony is also a cell phone
The dedicated slide-out gaming pad helps provide as close a gaming experience as the likes of a Sony PSP or Nintendo DS Lite that we’ve seen on a smartphone....

Unskinned version of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) makes us happy. Sturdy hardware stands up to a frustrated gamer's kungfu grip

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
Abstract: Вы не заметили, что все новые телефоны одноликие? Кажется, что время, когда можно было купить телефон с какой-то особенностью, уже прошло. Сегодня всё, чем можно удивить, это дюймы, гигагерцы и гигабайты. Производители, в погоне за мощностью, забыли про ф...
Подытоживая повествование об этом необычном решении, приятно констатировать тот факт, что у Sony Ericsson получилось в сжатые сроки подготовить такой смартфон. Сочетание большого экрана, громких стереодинамиков и хорошей аппаратной части делают Xperia Pla...
Abstract: O Xperia Play vem apenas com carregador de parede, cabo USB, fone de ouvidos e com cartão Micro SD de 8 GB. Diferente dos outros tops da linha Xperia, como o Arc e o Neo, ele não vem com cabo HDMI, obviamente por não possuir saída HDMI, como veremos a fre...

Aqui vou ser direto: O Xperia Play cumpre o motivo para que ele foi feito: Jogar. Nunca antes foi feito um smartphone com tanta caracteristicas “video gamisticas” e provavelmente não haverá outro de outra marca para esse fim. Agora se você quer um Andro...

Controle de PlayStation, Tela de 4 polegadas, Bateria com boa duração, Boa ergonomia.
Volumoso, Péssimo para trabalho, Alguns games portados, Pouca variedade de games

Ótimo gamepad integrado, Jogos com preços acessíveis, Boa autonomia de bateria
Problemas de sinal ao se reconectar a redes 3G ou WiFi, Poucos exclusivos: maioria dos jogos também está disponível em outros aparelhos
A Sony é uma empresa gigantesca, composta por inúmeras divisões que nem sempre estão de acordo. A impressão que tenho é que a Sony-Ericsson (que cuida dos smartphones) realmente quis desenvolver um “console” digno do nome PlayStation, e não mediu esforç...
Gamepad com layout do PS3 e boa precisão, vem com 4 jogos completos, permite partidas multiplayer pela internet e por WiFi a ponto a ponto
Não tem saída HDMI, corpo pesado, microSD de difícil acesso
O Xperia Play não é o Android mais potente, nem o console portátil mais divertido, mas consegue combinar essas duas facetas com eficiência....

Speaker do celular com redução de ruído, Câmera de boa qualidade para fotos, Bateria decente (para um dispositivo do tipo)
Tela com alta refletividade, Sensor da câmera capado para vídeos, Preço salgado
Como console portátil o Xperia Play é mediano. Ele não tem uma tela que seja boa o suficiente para jogar contra a luz do sol e que é uma grande parte da experiência, embora sob as condições certas de luz ambiente, ela se saia bem. Seus controles sensívei...

Abstract: A Sony Ericsson literalmente mostrou o jogo ao anunciar durante o Mobile World Congress, em Barcelona, seu “telefone e console portátil” Xperia Play . Ttive a chance de brincar um pouco com o tão falado aparelho após a apresentação, e fiquei ligeiramente ...
