Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray Reviews

CNET
"The Xperia ray is a good-looking handset with a capable camera and a great display. It's a shame it's may just be too small a smartphone for most men."
Slash Gear
"The XPERIA ray is easily the smallest smartphone I’ve ever had the opportunity to lay hands on, and while it may seem at first to be tiny in stature, it packs an oddly enticing set of punches."
Tech Radar
"The power of the Xperia Arc in a small and sleek chassis."
Pocket Lint
"Of course, there's no keyboard anymore and the screen is huge, with a far higher resolution that we dreamed of in feature phone days."
Android Central
"It's the best 3.3-inch Android smartphone you can buy. The Ray is just as capable as the Arc and Neo, despite its small size. If you're after a smaller smartphone, this is a device that's worth your consideration."
Android Community
"One of the tiniest Android smartphones I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with has been in my pocket for the past few days, and that is the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray."
Talk Android
"No, its not a top level device as far as specs go, but for a little over $300 the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray gets the job done well."
Into Mobile
"Another addition is the Xperia Ray – a long slim, sturdy Android smartphone with some sharp lines."
Phone Arena
"No matter how you slice it, the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray  is the embodiment of cuteness."
