Xperia™ arc takes the stunning design language that Sony Ericsson has become known for to a new level. Super slim and light, Xperia™ arc is just 8.7mm at its thinnest part and has a extra wide 4.2” multi-touch screen. Created from premium materials and with a stunning arc body, this smartphone is sleek, strong and designed to fit perfectly in the user’s hand. The best of Sony technology is inside Xperia™ arc. The Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine delivers exceptional visual brilliance and a crystal clear image which enhances the overall entertainment experience. Furthermore, Sony’s award-winning Exmor R™ for mobile sensor with the f/2.4 lens enables the capture of high quality, bright pictures and HD videos even in low light. All pictures and videos can be shared in HD on your living room TV via the built in HDMI-connector. Xperia™ arc will launch on the latest version of the Android™ platform providing access to Google Mobile Services and the myriad of applications available on the Android market. Xperia™ smartphones add best in class entertainment on top of smartphone fundamentals such as apps, maps, email and fast Internet to create the most entertaining smartphone experience.
Functionally the phone sports a 8 mega pixel camera which works amazingly well for shooting detailed stills and even well-formed video. The 1500mAh “middle-of-the-road” battery isn’t exactly earth-shattering but it will keep you running for a few hours without having to carry a booster in your pocket (you hear me Thunderbolt?)
Unfortunately, the screen leaves a bit to be desired. It’s a 4.2 inch 854 X 480 affair that’s marginally acceptable in this day and age. That makes it the company’s largest but not brightest. The colors in this thing are pretty bland and the viewing angles are so narrow that it’s like you’re back in 2001.As far as pricing, the off-contract price is right around $600. That’ll likely be cut in half with a contract though so don’t let it scare you away.
