- Good Points
- Large, responsive touch-screen
Good colour reproduction
Smooth text
HDMI out
Fast, smooth browsing when you have good reception
Good light weight, but not too light
Slim - Bad Points
- Buttons are too small and recessed, don't depress much, especially annoying camera button and power button.
Charger slot (Micro USB) and headphone slot have no covers
Off-set camera lens
Can't create folders within the phone, must be connected to internet.
Can't find dictionary to edit predictive words outright.
Power button bypasses the lock, so can be switched off or put on silent either by mistake or by anyone picking it up.
Decent but not great reception on Orange (in comparison with my older phone).
Tiny microphone hole on bottom-side easy to mistakely cover

Summary: The original Sony Ericsson Xperia arc impressed us with its slim design and latest version of Android, but we were worried that its single-core processor might be underpowered compared to the slew of dual-core smartphones appearing on the market. The...
Conclusion: The Arc S has a faster processor and better battery life than the original Arc, and even costs slightly less SIM-free, but the 3D and USB features aren't compelling reasons to upgrade

Summary: You'd be forgiven for not noticing the arrival of Sony Ericsson's Xperia Arc S in the smartphone market when it was launched a few months ago. After all, it's becoming harder to differentiate between the phones that carry the “Xperia” name as the...
Conclusion: Although the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S isn’t the best phone we’ve ever reviewed, it does a solid job for its price point. Considering that it costs just £300 off contract, you’d be hard pressed to find better value for your money, especially as it...

Summary: The XPERIA Arc S remains a nice phone, but doesn't offer enough improvements over the original model.
Conclusion: Sony Ericsson hasn’t always made the best of its smartphones, and some models can be described as, frankly, disappointing. But the Xperia Arc S is a thin, light and powerful Android smartphone, although it’s let down by some build issues.

Summary: The first Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc turned heads with its fashionable design, razor-thin good looks, and Android Gingerbread software. Now Sony Ericsson has launched a flashier replacement, but oh, what a difference a few months makes. Despite a faster...
Conclusion: Sony Ericsson follows up its ultrastylish Xperia Arc with the Xperia Arc S, a slightly faster version of the posh European model that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and rocks a powerful camera. Its high price, single-core CPU, and slow data speeds will...
Pro : The Sony Xperia Arc S flaunts a slim, attractive design, comes in multiple colors, runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, boasts a powerful camera, and records 720p HD video
Cons : Many of the phone's buttons are tiny and hard to press, plus its unlocked sticker price is pretty steep, especially for a single-core handset that lacks Ice Cream Sandwich
