The Sony Xperia S is the first Sony only branded smartphone after Sony and Ericsson parted ways.
The Sony Xperia S is the first Sony branded smartphone after Sony and Ericsson parted their ways. This is also the flagship of Sony. It comes with a high-resolution display and a whopping 12MP camera.
The phone's design is bar none. It boasts that futuristic look with its clear slice of plastic beneath the phone's screen. This is also where the phone's antenna is located. It gives us that fresh and chic appeal.
You will notice gaps running around the phone's back plate edges. There are also a couple of plastic flaps that are used to cover the phone's ports. You can find this handset in Black and in White. Notice how the handset is capable of giving you that matt white plastic back and black glass front. The design is basically ingenious. Overall, the phone's matt finish looks seals the deal. The phone basically feels great as the phone's back sits perfectly on one's hands.
The phone comes in with a hefty 4.3" display screen. The phone's gentle curved back allows you to hold it properly and firmly. It is quite comfortable to hold too.
Going back to the phone's clear transparent section, you will instantly notice three tiny white icons. These indicate the touch sensitive buttons above. This also lights up whenever you get a call, message notification, or whenever you are charging the handset. Now, that is fun to look at!
This phone will also give you a sharper 1.3MP front-facing camera and you can also record videos at 720p in HD quality. Video calls are now made perfect with this handset.
If you open the phone's back plates, you will then see its SIM card slot. Unfortunately this is all you will ever see. It comes with no microSD card slot or removable battery. But the phone will give you 32GB worth of built-in memory storage.
If you look at the phone's right side, you will notice its camera button, micro HDMI socket (for instant TV playback), and volume rocker. The left part of the phone is where you will find the phone's micro USB charging port. The phone's power/screen lock button is situated on the top edge. The 3.5mm headphone jack is there as well.
Lastly, the phone is currently running on Android 2.3 or the Gingerbread OS. Hopefully, the latest Android Iteration will roll out to this handset soon.
This is the design and features of the Sony Xperia S.
