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: The Xperia S comes with an HDMI capable, and once we connected the phone up to our HD TV and played back some of the 1080p video footage we shot, we were impressed by how crisp and clear it seemed, with little sign of blurring on moving subjects and a nic...
Abstract: Having ditched Ericsson, Sony is now forging ahead with a new range of Xperia handsets.And while the Xperia S was undoubtedly designed when Ericsson was still in the frame, the specs and general demeanor signify that Sony has some serious plans for its An...
High-quality display, great camera, good for multimedia, decent storage
Poor battery life, large form factor awkward for typing
The Sony Xperia S offers a fantastic display and great multimedia features, but is let down by very poor battery life. It also needs an upgrade to Android Ice Cream Sandwich....

Honestly speaking, there is not a lot wrong with the Xperia S so I've had to really think hard to find some defects
Ok apologies for how long that review ended up being! But some devices deserve that much attention. Where to begin summarising the Xperia S? It's great, it looks brilliant and its fast and responsive. What more do you need from a top-end smartphone? Not m...
In almost all situations, the iPhone 4S edges ahead of Sony's Xperia S camera, with more true-to-life colours, better exposure and focus, and less noise lurking in the shadows. The Xperia S camera is respectable though. It's certainly capable of produ...
Abstract: Just in case you did not know, recently Sony Ericsson decided to part ways with Sony buying up the Ericsson part of the business. This means all future phones will be Sony branded and this Xperia S is the first of this new batch of android powered smar...

The Sony Xperia S has an undeniably gorgeous HD screen, high-quality audio, an impressive camera and plenty of clout. But it's let down by clunky handset design and software that could be more streamlined....

Fantastic screen, NFC capability, High quality camera, Premium build, Large internal storage
Easy to drop, No microSD slot, Slightly poor battery life, Fat chassis, Only Android 2.3
There are still some niggles but we think it says a lot that when writing the pros and cons above, we really struggled with the cons section. This handset may not be cheap – and it may feel like a Sony Ericsson without the Ericsson bit printed on the fro...
Great snapper; clear bright display; handy NFC tags; nice design
No Ice Cream Sandwich on board yet
Sony has done a grand job with its first solo production. The Xperia S is a fine machine for surfing the web, watching films and listening to tunes. It also has a top snapper and good looks. We're looking forward to the next Xperia smartphone to come out...
