When Sony unveiled the Xperia S at CES , many Android fans in the know dreamed that this ultrastylish handset could herald a new beginning for the company's mobile electronics. That's why it was even more exciting when Sony announced that the phone would arrive for sale in America. The phone also connects to Sony's large vault of movies, music, and TV shows so you can enjoy them on the device or in the living room. But if you're expecting a halo product to help bring back the golden days of the Walkman, you're in for a disappointment.
Design I can't deny that the Sony Xperia S looks striking. It comes in hues of fashion-forward white like the model I tested, and a more conservative black. Its design is also very futuristic with the phone flaunting a rectangular chassis chiseled in sharp right angles. The Xperia S' attempt at high style, however, falls short. While a real head-turner, the boxiness of the Xperia S isn't as comfortable to grip as more traditional oval handsets sculpted with rounded curves.
Another distinctive touch yet one not executed well is an illuminated clear bar running along the phone's base. The bar contains three symbols floating within its transparent surface that indicate the main Android functions for Back, Home, and Menu. You must tap corresponding dots above each Android icon, which I found find difficult to hit, especially in the dark.
Measuring 5 inches tall by 2. Still, for Android devices these days that boast massive displays, these measurements are par for the course. For example the Samsung Galaxy S3 5.
The Xperia S has a large 4. Above the display are a 1. The left side holds a Micro-USB port covered by a flap. Sony really helps itself here by omitting any overzealous branding or megapixel labeling. Cables for both connectivity types are bundled in the box along with a headset.
Speaking of the box, you may want to be careful about how you open it as the one I received came preloaded with multicolored confetti and "sherbet-filled wafers with a fruit flavor. If we only awarded design points for looks, the Xperia S could easily walk away with full marks owing to its understated handsomeness and fine build quality.
Unfortunately, a number of issues do emerge once you put it to good use. I had regular trouble getting the capacitive Android keys to react to my taps. Though its rear is curved for a better fit in the hand, the squared-off sides and corners make it harder to handle than it perhaps needs to be. Coming from a Nexus S, which makes that exact action a cinch, I find this a major pain point. The more you have to change your grip on a phone, the more chance there is of it slipping out.
The Xperia S joins an exclusive but growing group of smartphones with a p display. Instead of the smooth gradation you might expect between different shades of one color, the Xperia S shows distinct bands of each shade.
That being said, viewing angles have improved from the Xperia Arc that preceded this new model. In any case, this is a good looking, pixel-rich display that should please a lot of people. Putting the Xperia S through an intensive run of shooting photos and video, occasionally activating Bluetooth and GPS, and keeping the screen on for extended periods of time, I managed to squeeze out 11 hours of battery life from it.
A more conventional usage scenario, one where email, browsing, music playback, and the sporadic game take up most of the time, should see the Xperia S easily lasting through a day and beyond. Reception on the Xperia S was consistently good, with voice call clarity being a particular highlight. The good vibes in the sound department continue with the headset Sony bundles with the Xperia S, which is of a higher quality than the Beats Audio buds HTC is shipping with its phones these days and should serve you well for a long time.
The same goes for the loudspeaker at the back, which is distinctly average. Sony's imaging credentials hardly need introduction. Sony knows how to take pictures.
Equipping the Xperia S with a megapixel mobile version of its Exmor R sensor, the company aims to maintain its sterling reputation, which was already enhanced by the 8-megapixel camera in the Xperia Arc from last year.
With such a strong background, it's little surprise to find the Xperia S taking some splendidly detailed photos. I find its default processing turns out images that are a little low on contrast and occasionally saturation, but the central task of capturing a detailed scene is done very well and allows you to produce excellent results with just a little bit of extra tweaking. The dedicated camera key can launch you straight into the camera app even while the phone is locked.
Sony has tweaked its already customized app, doing away with the sliding menus of the Xperia line and aiming for a very clean and transparent UI. It works well. I particularly like how the latest captured image appears stacked atop older pictures in the bottom right corner — it's a functionally meaningless little touch, but it conveys the connection between what you just did taking a photo and where you might find the results the gallery app.
You don't get a great deal of manual options with the Xperia S and you also can't tap to focus as you can on some other handsets. In lieu of that, Sony provides a two-stage camera button, a half-press of which will set the autofocus and exposure before a full press completes the image capture. The phone supported NFC. Not rare for the time, but the Sony Smart Tags accessories could be used to automate certain actions.
For example, you could have one in your car that activated Bluetooth and GPS, then launch the Wisepilot navigation app that came with the phone. Smart Tags widget helps you set actions for NFC tags.
Name aside, by the company had already made the decision to move away from featurephones. Now in full control of the mobile division Sony planned to integrate Xperia phones and tablets with Vaio computers to increase their appeal.
This was before it sold Vaio, of course. This was a difficult time for the mobile division. Q1 of also resulted in a loss. Still, the mobile division posted a small loss that quarter. I used that Xperia S Lt26i that phone had awesome experience, I hope you would make such stronger mobile phones like that.
