Great gaming experience
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play comes with an unskinned variant of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)

Battery Life
Feels solid for a sliding phone
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
The screen is a good size
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....

The editors didn't like
Not a dual core CPU
Small internal memory
Sub-par camera
Doesn't play PlayStation games
Big and bulky
Some of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play 4G's gaming controls are unresponsive. It lacks an HDMI-out port
Photo quality is poor
And data speeds are unimpressive.
Lacks detail with its photos
No 720p video capture
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
Doesn't integrate with the world of PlayStation. Not the latest graphics hardware. A bit thick and heavy.
Small Android buttons
Analog touch joystick not very responsive
Lacks 4G
Doesn't support video chat apps yet
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

Combina perfectamente la función de consola con la de smartphone. El control es muy cómodo y la pantalla táctil es muy sensible
Es caro y los materiales lucen poco resistentes. Podría grabar video en alta definición

El diseño de la carcasa es elegante en extremo, y muy cómodo de manejar en modo teléfono, La pantalla tiene un tamaño generoso, buena visibilidad en entornos iluminados y un agradable nivel de respuesta al tacto, La autonomía de la batería está muy por encima de la media de smartphones: una sola carga dura algo más de un día, La calidad y potencia de sonido es excelente
La ergonomía de su uso como teléfono se pierde en modo consola. El control de volumen, por ejemplo, se vuelve casi inaccesible, Los touchpad son poco precisos y muchos jugadores habituales los encontrarán netamente inferiores a los joysticks analógicos, La personalización de Android 2.3 Gingerbread es vistosa, pero en algunos momentos consume demasiados recursos de la CPU, El almacenamiento inter
Levábamos tiempo esperándolo y creo que no me equivoco al decir que este primer teléfono PlayStation ha cumplido con creces con las expectativas. No estamos ante una consola portátil completa básicamente por el tema de la batería, pues los controles son c...

Abstract: Et voici le test du Sony Xperia Play, qui s'il n'est pas franchement une nouveauté (commercialisé depuis le premier trimestre 2011) mérite bien qu'on s'attarde sur lui.Alors, le Sony Xperia Play, c'est quoi ? Et bien, c'est un savant mélange de 2 univers ...
Après plusieurs années de fantasme d'une PlayStation capable de téléphoner et d'envoyer des messages, Sony Ericsson a travaillé conjointement avec Sony pour nous proposer un nouveau smartphone dédié aux jeux. Mais au final, nous avons plutôt entre les ...
