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

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

Now a standard in smartphone releases. Wireless data is slower 3G standard
Not 4G. Only one PlayStation title available at launch
genialer Spielecontroller, guter Bildschirm, tolle Verarbeitung, schickes Design
teuer, nur für Gamer, noch wenige BlockbusterSpiele, groß und schwer
Unabhängig davon ob das Experiment nun glückt oder nicht, gebührt Sony Ericsson viel Lob für die Innovationsfreude. Ohne gute Spiele ergibt das Xperia Play aber keinen Sinn: Hier müssen die nächsten Monate zeigen, wie ernst es der Hersteller tatsächli...

Zu dunkles Display, Sehr schwer und dick, Zu wenig Spiele für Gamepad
Hervorragende Verarbeitung, gute Ausstattung und ein nettes Design reichen fast immer, um ein Top-Smartphones zu entwickeln. Beim Xperia Play geht diese Rechnung aber nicht ganz auf, Schuld ist – neben kleinen Unzulänglichkeiten wie dem schlecht erfühl...

Een game-telefoon blijft een gok. Eerder misukte het Nokia met de Ngage. Gelukkig heeft Sony Ericsson de durf om de stap te zetten, waardoor ze de concurrerende merken een stapje achter zich laten. Het gameconcept met gebruik van de uitschuifbare PlayStat...
Perfecte game controls, Ligt goed in de handen, Ook prima als telefoon te gebruiken
Had iets sneller mogen zijn, Scherm had beter gekund
Er zijn maar weinig fabrikanten die het aandurven om een echte game telefoon neer te zetten. Nokia is de ene (en die faalde meerdere malen) en Sony Ericsson de andere. Hoewel Sony Ericsson er van ons best een snellere processor en een beter scherm in had...
Strakke gebruikersinterface met subtiele extra's, Gameervaring is super, Veel games beschikbaar
Toestel is vrij dik en voelt goedkoop aan, Schoudertoetsen en volumetoetsen werken niet handig, Geen HDMIuitgang, Processor is niet toekomstbestendig
De Xperia PLAY is toch echt puur een gametelefoon. Al het andere blijft op de achtergrond en blijft wat standaard. Dat neemt echter niet weg dat naast een gametelefoon de PLAY ook nog steeds een capabele smartphone is. Het toestel mag op andere gebieden d...
