Sony Xperia S hands-on - nice new Android phone w/ great screen

[CuellarIV]

why is the s different from the ion. probably usa spec's verses japan specs?

[MrMegaIUFan]

The thickness of the phone doesn't seem to beat my X10i at all... :( the arc looks better IMO

[DysonMedia]

Currently got an iphone but i think this looks great and i'm due a new phone in a few months :P

The phone looks great!

[laki2nice]

12MP wow this is digital camera with green robot inside...

[eSkiip]

One thing in my opinion sony try to mimic other companies eg this phone looks like an iphone 4 white, just plasticy

[Michalnavi1]

@eSkiip chyba cie popierdolilo...

[scartillery]

@eSkiip 'Cept it looks nothing like an iPhone....

[eSkiip]

@scartillery i mean the shape of it :P

[mieszkanienapradniku]

Trochę dziwnie z samym Sony ale powodzenia!

[HackingDutchman]

Somebody know what brightness the screen has??

[deimantukas333]

I have been using SE phones for about 6 years and I just love them. The bad thing in this phone, that it doesn't have a removable battery, however the volume rocker is on the right side

[mrthebengaltiger1]

This phone has 342ppi Pixel Density and a 12MP Camera! That's even higher than the mighty Apple iPhone 4S. Sony prove once again why they are one of the best out there. I love Sony and always will. They did it with the PS3 beating the 360, now they have done it with smartphones. Forget Samsung and Apple, look at this! P.S, I never thought the 4S would be beaten for a while longer with 330ppi, how wrong I was, lol!

[punkedface]

Why is it sony and not sony ericsson?

[mmijas]

@punkedface Sony cancelled the contract between Ericsson, so hereafter its SONY !!

[cicitony]

@punkedface bcoz ericsson acquired by sony recently~so no more sony ericsson~

will be Sony Mobile Communications AB

[mafulo4]

Another throw-away after 3 months phone :-(

[giorgosrc]

I'm an iPhone user but the Xperia S is SO beautiful and fast.

Great job Sony, really impressed!

[wtfUall]

this phone looks awesome! and i am iphone user :))

[Diamas1985]

A piece of Art!!! :)

[CRAZY512100]

uhh i heard gay song lol

[iwantsquareballoons]

@CRAZY512100 what song? i barely could hear any..

[keremstrikeful]

excellent Desiign...

[SuperShawnbell]

um , fuck sony . i think i'll stay with samsung ..

[KeKeKeilan]

@SuperShawnbell Based on what? What negatives are there about this phone? The fact that its camera is better than any current Samsung 'droid? The HD resolution screen? The evidently snappy response? The fashionable AND functional design choice? Or maybe you don't like the 1.5ghz dual core processor, or how you can take pictures 1 after another in less than a second. Ya man, what a bad phone. Samsung is obviously better. Fanboy.

[SuperShawnbell]

@KeKeKeilan ooh arent you upset ? ctfuu

[KeKeKeilan]

@SuperShawnbell lol upset? No, I was just pointing out how hopelessly oblivious you are, and trying to help you understand how stupid your comment was. That's all :)

[SuperShawnbell]

@KeKeKeilan Eat ass dickhead . goodbye .

[KeKeKeilan]

@SuperShawnbell ooh, aren't you upset (:

[SuperShawnbell]

@SuperShawnbell You wanna argue . Kill yourself . your a child . Last and final comment .

[MelihCLK]

WTF? Sony ericsson ?

[DraughtHaze]

@MelihCLK Well done!

[kutkutiya]

How come it has SONY ERICSSON not SONY written on it

gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_s-436­9.php

[DraughtHaze]

@kutkutiya Sony ericsson is the phone bit of sony, like bravia is for their TVs

[subhash547]

SONY S IS BIG BROTHER OF SAMSUNG S2 AND IPHN 4S

[nathanpanini]

Bye bye Samsung and Apple ;(

[carolinacorreahey]

@Abel3G also white cars, white dogs :T everything, actually ahahaha

[AlexBurnout1]

@InfinityBrian It was never such thing like Samsung/suck

[InfinityBryan]

Say goodbye to Samsung & Welcome SONY!!!

[Ioannisthegreat7]

@InfinityBryan my main issue is that the feel of the screen on a Galaxy S2 is amazing (much better than an Iphone's or an arc's). Will this be better?

[mrthebengaltiger1]

@InfinityBryan. Absolutely! Sony did it with PS3, and have done it again! Congrats Sony, you're the best!

[shady965]

I want it NOW !!!!!!

[AnimeAjay755]

I(Ph)owned...

[MAGNATAR76]

[Tcrudden]

@keveydaking they are on the translucent part of the phone. they light up so you can see them

[keveydaking]

[GeorgeCopperfield]

@fifa2012ism Sony Ericsson designed the phone before Sony bought em out.

[xXDeViLRape]

Holy shit.. Sony really made me curious this time! :O

[TheJohnRexOfficial]

[catramax]

[Sica1000]

Es steht einfach sony ericson oben aufm handy, was soll das ????!!!

[mnhafizlatif]

nice :)

[jonathanrross]

stupid noisy people

[METTSAZ]

has this handy a frontcamera for shooting pics?

[luevas]

@dsbum Motorola just announced the Droid Razr Maxx wich is a couple of milimeters thinner than the Xperia S and packs a battery that can hold a charge for almost twice as long. Technically Motorola could put xenon in their future phones and still have great battery performance

[BenjiRISS]

@luevas I remember reading that the main problem with xenon flash was that it would make the phone really bulky. However i also recall reading that battery drainage was a factor to why manufacturers dont opt for Xenon flash, but the more important factor in this day and age of mobile phones where most of the people are trying to make thin phones, would be the fact that Xenon flash takes up a lot of space. Cant find the link anymore :/

[SergeantFiasco]

Only problems I have is Times cape UI, LED screen and small battery.

[xiobnb100]

i want this phone so bad !

[catha86]

Sony can do what Samsung has done and might be one of those powerhouses of smartphones. The competition just started today for apple.

[catramax]

OH MY FUCK! Dream phone man I want this!!! It's beautiful!! Will it be on t-mobile??

[GiniaEnt]

@catramax Only AT&T

[PingFilms]

@GiniaEnt you're wrong.. xperia ion is only for at&t... xperia S is for every carrier (and global too)

[GiniaEnt]

@PingFilms If you say so I know what I read but we'll see

[catramax]

@PingFilms Oh i hope your right!!

[PingFilms]

@catramax Don't worry. I'm 100% certain. I watched the entire CES live stream. And they interviewed the guy. And he said that Xperia Ion will only be on at&t and Xperia S is available around the world with different carriers.. Have a nice day!

[catramax]

@PingFilms YES!!! i will!!! Now i just gotta worry about saving up for it :P gonna be expensive as hell!!!

[blackjusi]

@PingFilms ion is for world wide use, but branded by at&t

[PingFilms]

@blackjusi But do you still need to buy it from US?

[OGinaOo]

adele:D:D:D

[megautubeful]

holy shit 12 mp better than the iphone

[shico20022002]

led flash thats too bad !

must be zenon ?

[dsbum]

@shico20022002 nobody makes Xenon Flash in phones anymore. It'll drain the battery out of any smartphone. Until they find a way to significantly boost the juice in super slim devices, Xenon Flash won't happen.

[Offendedbysharia]

does the black guy think the white phone is racist?

[Nambuz]

@Offendedbysharia do you think black phones are rasist for white people?

[Skylark1007]

i wished they can replace Notification LED by not using green LED but RGB LED and reposition the LED so it can glow up the transparent plastic strip/antenna/acrylic thing so it can make RAINBOW COLORS ! XD

like what they did on the Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman Phone

[TheMyatminsan]

when can i start buying in Singapore ?

[joersthim17]

I Like It Like That!

[guvernor90]

Hard to find the white xperia...

[TheMyatminsan]

front facing camera is available or not ?

[KalEl600rr]

@TheMyatminsan yes, 1.3 mp

[TheMyatminsan]

tks



[manuelperinn]

I WANT THIS PHONE...I WANT THIS PHONE...WHAT DO I HAVE TO SELL TO GET THIS PHONE!!!

[mevlana12345]

1:09 Adele someone like you !

[kawish33]

... It says sony Ericsson on the top

[naijaboygangsta]

@kawish33

yeah but this is only the prototype the market version will only have sony brand

watch?v=lX7NkLwLA4Y

[Hunterbgpz]

Sony <3 Fuck Ericsson

[GxBlasku]

@Hunterbgpz

Well, all I can say to that is...

Fuck you!!! >:-(( T28s rulez!

[GxBlasku]

@GxBlasku

hmm, I wonder what's that "to that" still doing in there?

[SavySavant]

The black version with the "Sony" branding almost looks PS3-esque.. I think when they offically make the switch you should see some very strong devices from their camp.. Being Sony and all..

Just hope we don't see the Sony pricing..

[wrangleroooo]

sample camera photos????

[croarsenal]

I want to buy one with the Sony Ericsson logo not Sony logo.. :/

[NWA90s]

Just have a few questions about it:

Does it have fron camera as well, if yes then what pixel is it?

And does it have a sd slot and how muhc GB is in the phone?

[ONEWAYLEEWAY]

@NWA90s didnt here anything about a front camera but i heard the memorys 32 gb hope that helps :)

[poligomm]

@NWA90s The front camera is 1.3MP and can shoot at 720p

[dalesalsa]

Sexy looking phone..! But with big screen and HD I looks like battery will be an issue!

[poligomm]

@dalesalsa About 7 1/2 hours talktime

[dalesalsa]

@poligomm I don't know... they say that about the Galaxy S2 and with games and everything battery runs out in bit less than a day... I had to get an extended battery to last a day and a half. There is no way to tell in reallity until you have it in your hands and use it how 'you' want to use it... lots of games/3G or not..

Big Screens just cost more battery.. that is just how it is. Looks awesome though!

[AlexBurnout1]

@dalesalsa How do you know, Einstein? Maybe it will have something like 1750 or 2000 MAh

[dalesalsa]

@AlexBurnout1 Cause I'm a genius and know everything... hehe :p I'm kidding ... I'm kidding... your mom told me while I was hitting it from the back... aaaaah hahahaha hehee

[xsolskjearx]

it's kinda laggy :/

[ISeeNoCheezburger]

12mp exmor R camera is a monster, but it should have at least dual led automatic flash, not enabling it from the UI...

[survivorevil]

what's with no putting a damn sd card slot. fuck them!!

[AxelCoolify]

@survivorevil sdcard sux!!

[survivorevil]

@AxelCoolify wow at least say why. it sucks manufacturers sell you the same fucking phone at doble the price because it has double the memory when can just buy an sd card wayyy cheaper but judging your comment I guess your dumb enough to fall for that

[ONEWAYLEEWAY]

@survivorevil its coz it comes with 32 gb memory lol youll have a crazy time filling that :)

[survivorevil]

@ONEWAYLEEWAY I doubt it. videos, music, pics and games fill that up pretty fast. there are some games that are 600mb... just admit it sucks they remove the sd card to make you pay much more if you want more storage

[ONEWAYLEEWAY]

@survivorevil well for me its perfect my sony x10 only has 8 gigs of space and its took me 2 years to fill. Got loads of music and games on it aswell the trick is to put the stuff you dont want on you computer and swap over when your ready and with this sony xs you can do it wirelessly so even easier!

[survivorevil]

@ONEWAYLEEWAY well you just went off the topic. My point is that it sucks they dont put an sd card slot so whenever you need it you can expand the storage. What you just said is your opinion but one should be able to choose whether or not to expand the memory

[ONEWAYLEEWAY]

@survivorevil seriously you dont need to expand the memory when you have 32gbs and can backup all your stuff on a hardrive! you cant use 32gbs of memory at once anyways,your just being arkward..

[aronn635]

no memory expansion sucks.

[dev1597]

i think this phone rock the smartphones market

[miroz1991]

No removable battery......huhhhhh.......

[ljcaseykc]

@miroz1991 is it really that hard to comprehend? iPhone has been doing it for 5 years. I've never had to replace a battery....ever.

[survivorevil]

@ljcaseykc maybe because u don't want to replace it but after some time battery life decreases

[knozraul]

why it still using se brand name??isnt it renamed as SONY?
