Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Price - Details - Royal Thinnest

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc

There’s no denying that this is one of the sexier devices out there, featuring a stylishly slim design with a curved back cover, measuring a mere 8.7 mm in thickness at the center and 10 mm at each end. Add to this the fact that it weighs a mere 117g, 20 g less than the iPhone 4 (137 g), and you already have yourself a stand-out device.

This thin and light design is complimented by a 4.2" (480 x 854) capacitive Reality Display with Sony’s Mobile BRAVIA Engine that, according to Sony Ericsson, delivers better visual clarity, and we tend to agree.

Gingerbread goodness
With Qualcomm’s MSM8255 Snapdragon system-on-a-chip boasting a snappy 1 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 205 GPU doing the processing, things on the computing side went smoothly. Google’s Android 2.3.2 (Gingerbread) does the operating and this latest smartphone version of the mobile OS sports new features including improved power management as well as a redesigned keyboard allowing for faster text input and editing.

Besides Android running the show, SE has provided its Times cape user interface, which links contact details and messages across a number of social networks like Facebook and Twitter. It shows you these along with your SMSs in a continuously updated and visualized stream of info. Happy snapper Helping to fill the media gallery with images is the phone’s 8 Mega-pixel camera with capable LED flash and autofocus, a department that SE always shines in. Just like the Nokia E7 it can record HD-ready (720p@30fps) videos, with an HDMI port to display all your high- resolution photos and HD videos on your HD monitor or HDTV. Unlike Nokia though SE doesn’t include a mini HDMI cable in the box. In general you won’t be disappointed with the arc’s media capabilities.

Final word
SE has kept what was good about the Xperia X10 and taken it to another level with the slim and stylish Xperia arc. Compared to other phones with similar specs, such as the Samsung Galaxy S or Google Nexus S, we couldn’t believe that Sony Ericsson crammed everything in such a thin body. It goes for a recommended of R6599.
