The editors liked

  • The only Android phone to do gaming ‘properly'
  • Slide-out gaming controls are well built and comfortable
  • Feels fast
  • Decent build quality
  • The nearest gaming experience to a Sony PSP or Nintendo DS Lite that we’ve seen on a smartphone
  • Thanks to the slideout gaming pad
  • Works well as a smartphone
  • Lots of recent smartphones boast a host of impressive games
  • And some of them even offer decent graphics
  • But nothing comes close to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play when it comes to control. The sliding lower half with proper buttons mean you'll be able to control games accurately and comfortably
  • And it's a lot more fun than using touchscreen buttons. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play also tops the li
  • Gaming pad is well designed
  • Sony Ericsson's take on Android has some nice features and is easily compensated where it lacks features
  • Battery life when gaming is pretty good
  • Controls really do work
  • Excellent rapidfire gameplay
  • Intuitive user interface
  • Physcial controls better for gaming than the usual touchscreen
  • More games than the Android Market
  • Good quality audio

The editors didn't like

  • Poor games
  • Poor controls
  • Screen was dim and washed out
  • Games offering is weak
  • Confusing software
  • Classic PlayStation titles are expensive
  • Rather dim display
  • Umer Reports
  • The gaming pad buttons feel good under the fingers and are comfortable to use
  • But the touchpads are not so responsive
  • And the shoulder buttons are spongy.
  • Unfortunately
  • Sony can't back up with Xperia Play's hardware with a world-beating games catalogue. Yes
  • There are some fun titles
  • But there's nowhere near the same amount that you'll find on something like the Nintendo 3DS – or even the Apple iPhone – and games bought for the Sony PSP are also incompatible.
  • Gaming delivery is a little disparate
  • Screen needs to be brighter
  • It really needs some exciting gaming titles
  • Video capture is unnecessarily poor
  • Screen
  • Launch titles are just as fun on other phones
  • Controls still aren't as good as a real handheld console
  • Having three separate places to download games isn't very practical
  • No support for PSP games and you need to buy PSN games you already own

  • Abstract:  Plusieurs années que l'on attend une Playstation Portable capable de téléphoner. Le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est qu'elle a été longue à venir. Entre les premières rumeurs et l'annonce officielle en début d'année, il s'est écoulé de nombreux mois...

  • Gamepad efficace, Ergonomie en jeu, Conception, solidité, Bon lecteur MP3, Fluidité, Autonomie générale (hors jeu)
  • Pas assez puissant (pour jouer), Emulateur PlayStation (trop peu de jeux), Autonomie en jeu, Appareil photo et vidéo, Pas de HDMI
  • Après plusieurs années de fantasme d'une PlayStation capable de téléphoner et d'envoyer des messages, Sony Ericsson a travaillé conjointement avec Sony pour nous proposer un nouveau smartphone dédié aux jeux. Mais au final, nous avons plutôt entre les ...

  • Abstract:  Beim Xperia Play sitzt unter einem aufschiebbaren Display keine Tastatur wie zumeist, sondern ein vollwertiges Gamepad - doch wie sinnvoll ist ein Smartphone, das vor allem für mobiles Gaming gedacht ist? Die Mehrheit der Menschen lebt heutzutage in St...

  • Das Sony Ericsson Xperia Play ist nun seit ein paar Monaten auf dem Markt und daher nicht mehr ganz aktuell. Dies lässt es allerdings nirgends einen spüren, im Gegenteil. Es ist für die Zocker unter euch, die auch mobil nicht aufs Spielen und zudem nicht...
