Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S: Design

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S is a beautiful piece of kit. Given that the original Arc is still one of the best-designed Android devices around it's good to see that not much has been changed from a chassis point of view. The handset is gloriously sleek and slim at just 8.7mm thick and with it's slightly bowed chassis design. At 125 x 63 mm its a phone with a large footprint.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S: Display

Display-wise, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S has been given a 4.2-inch Reality display which made the stock images found on the phone ping with colour. The screen was big enough to enjoy browsing the web and when we loaded up MobileMegaMall.com, the load times did seem fast. The visual and video performance of the new mobile is better than any other device in the market with its superior Mobile BRAVIA engine.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S: Performance

Given that Wi-Fi on the show floor is not the best test conditions for this sort of thing, web pages did load with some speed, validating the '20% increase in web browsing speeds' Sony Ericsson is touting - thanks to the 1.4GHz processor at the heart of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S: OS & UI

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S we tried out had Android 2.3.4 on it, with Sony Ericsson's own Timescape UI on top of this. We liked some of the touches this skin offered to Android, especially when you pinched the homescreen and was presented with the floating widgets bouncing around the screen, ready to take you to whichever screen you desire
