Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S Reviews
CNET "The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S flaunts a slim, attractive design, comes in multiple colors, runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, boasts a powerful camera, and records 720p HD video."
Engadget "The new Arc S appears identical on the surface, still carrying the stylish curvature that wooed us the first time round."
Gizmodo "For this week’s Mobile Monday column, we look at the Xperia Arc S. It’s not a high end model, sitting more in the high end of the mid-range given its feature set. Is that enough to make it an enticing prospect?"
Pocket Lint "But what of the Arc S? This is a minor hardware revision with some nice improvements over the original Arc."
Android Central "It's not the fastest high-end Android smartphone out there, but the Xperia Arc S has a lot to offer, and at a lower price point than most dual-core handsets."
Talk Android "Introducing the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, one of Sony Ericsson’s latest flagship (and unlocked) devices to make its way into the US compatible with AT&T’s network."
PCMag "The Sony Xperia Arc S is a lightweight, unlocked Android phone that still manages to pack an expansive screen and powerful multimedia features."
Phone Arena "We say stopgap, since the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S keeps the breathtaking design of its predecessor, but ups the ante with a still-single core 1.4GHz processor, 14.4Mbps instead of 7.2Mbps radio, and teaches the 8MP Exmor R camera some new tricks."
