Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Review and Specs

Now, let start off the year with the new Sony Xperia Arc, this phone will be running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The Arc is slim and light with a 4.2 inch (480 x 854) display. The phone is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 Processor with Adreno 205 Graphic Chip. The Arc has a nice 8 Megapixel (3264 x 2448) Camera with auto focus, Touch Focus, Image Stabilization, Geo-Tagging, Face-Smile Detection and LED flash. This can record HD video at a great resolution of 720p at 30 Frames per second. The Xperia has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/&n with Bluetooth version 2.1 with A2DP. The phone has new features like the Mobile BRAVIA and Exmor R. The phone also has a HTMI connector for high quality pictures and HD videos for big screens.

In my opinion, the memory in the phone could have been better. The phone has 512 MB of internal storage which is very low for the phones of 2011, but it does have an 8 GB SD card included. The Arc Screen is Sony’s Super LCD with LED backlight which is “BLAH” I thought the newest phones this year would have Amoled Screens. I feel that this phone should have been released last year. With the Dual-Core phones coming out this year, this phone seems like last year image.
