The editors didn't like
Ships with dated software
Color banding may spoil display for some
Still no good reason to care about PlayStation certification
No microSD card slot or user-accessible battery
The Xperia S has quirky capacitive buttons
Slow 3G data
An uninspiring screen
And a pokey processor. Its $559.99 price is also steep.
Lower screen resolution than some competitors
Poor camera quality
Annoying port cover
Keyboard case not worth extra money
Viewing angles distort blues
Capacitive buttons too close to screen
No removable battery
No expandable memory
Heat build up is noticable
More 'phablet' than phone
Heavy use will kill battery
Mediocre design. PlayStation bits disappoint. You have to update it to ICS
Back scuffs easily
Not yet Ice Cream Sandwich
Large form factor is awkward for typing
The capacitive button dots are hard to spot and not very responsive
Sealed battery compartment
No memory expansion slot
Chunky with weak build qualityCamera output is only superficially goodSony ecosystem needs to be more cohesive

Abstract: After Sony split with mobile partner Ericsson last year, the pressure was on for the Japanese giant to deliver a knockout handset and prove it could go it alone. And that's exactly what it has done with the Sony Xperia S ( £450 inc. VAT ).Looking for the ...
Slim, light and fast with a sharp HD screen, powerful camera, better UI and battery life
Ships with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), upgrade to Android 4.0 (ICS) being rolled out, Design, Xperia S is very different to previous Xperia models, with sleek lines and an LED panel below the high resolution screen. I like the crisper screen and slimmer bo
Despite a few design hiccups, the Xperia S handset is Sony’s best phone in a long time. It looks great, with a HD screen that really shines. Sony’s re-skinning of parts of Android is sensibly handled and almost always useful, while the camera is amo...

Original design, Quality finishing, Screen resolution, Responsive, Music player interface, Camera interface / Photosaving speeds, LED
Touchsensitive buttons not very practical, Limited angles of view, Nonexpandable memory (32 GB), Photo quality behind the competition: you can find better with 8 Mpx, Camera sensor poorly located, Low battery life
With an innovative design, a nice finish, an interface with broad appeal and high responsiveness, the Xperia S easily falls into the pantheon of today's high quality smartphones. However, surprisingly for its market positioning, it doesn't live up to i...
There’s only so much that can be done with touchscreen phone design these days, but it looks like Sony has nailed it. The Sony Xperia S is a striking phone made distinctive by its clean angular lines and illuminating bar running below the display, which also houses the antenna. It’s a real looker. The display too is very good, delivering some neat viewing angles, lots of detail and some wonderfu
Unfortunately with its good design, there are flaws. The Sony Xperia S severely lacks in grip. Its plastic body can easily slip out of the hands in a hurry: however the hand eventually gets used to the awkward grip. And it has to be said that the Sony Xperia S is hardly compact. Some buttons even require a little stretching to operate in one-handed use. Camera quality too, for what it offers coul
What the Sony Xperia S does, it does very well. Performance is fast, the screen is great and the camera more than adequate. Owners however will have to wait a bit longer to get the most from the Sony Xperia S, when the Android 4.0 update drops. It’s a ...
Abstract: With HTC's quad-core flagship the One X taking Samsung's Galaxy Nexus head on, challenging its technical prowess, and Sony's Xperia S seeking to undercut it on price, V3 takes a look at which device is most worthy of attention. Design and buildDespite ...
Always we start our conclusion with the build quality of the product and in this area there is a lot to love about the Xperia S. The handset has a good solid feel in the hand and most notably it is well balanced across the product, not feeling top or bott...
