After shrugging off the bad memories of Xperia X10, Sony Ericsson is making a huge splash by releasing a number of Android smartphones this year and the Arc S is one of them. At first glance, the Arc S appears desirable, svelte and slim. In its entirety, the Xperia range is unique to Sony Ericsson and former X10 users will feel at home with the Arc S. Its 4.3” WVGA LCD screen is something you should take a look at. The absence of air gap under glass means that light won’t bounce between two different elements.
To be perfectly blunt, the Xperia Arc S is identical to the original Arc in terms of physical design. In fact, if you placed the two phones side by side you wouldn't be able to tell them apart, as the Arc S features no unique markings, branding or logos to suggest it's an upgrade of the hardware. While those of you who like to swagger about town with the latest tech in your hands may feel dissatisfied, we doubt many will be overly troubled. The Xperia Arc was -- and still is -- a smart-looking phone, and we're very much of the opinion that when something isn't broke, you sure as hell don't try to fix it.
Compared to its predecessors, the Arc S has a bumped up raw performance with the 1.4GHz processor. The BrowserMark benchmarking result shows that the Arc S is twice as fast as the original Arc.
Also worth noting is its 8Mp camera, with the ability to record 720p videos at 30fps. The Arc S excels at low light thanks to its Exmor-R image sensor. The camera performs better than the original Arc’s camera, although the image sensor still seems to struggle with mixed color temperature. The Arc S offers a good battery life and tests show that the phone can play 720p videos continuously for more than four hours. The phone includes a Micro-HDMI port at the top and of the device and the 1GB of internal storage is complemented by an 8GB MicroSD card. Unfortunately, the physical buttons are slightly awkward and for some they could be downright annoying, for example the power button is small and difficult to hit accurately.
