There’s only so much that can be done with touchscreen phone design these days
But it looks like Sony has nailed it. The Sony Xperia S is a striking phone made distinctive by its clean angular lines and illuminating bar running below the display
Which also houses the antenna. It’s a real looker. The display too is very good

Lots of detail and some wonderfu

The editors didn't like
Outdated version of Android
Weak battery
Fiddly buttons
Ships with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
Upgrade to Android 4.0 (ICS) being rolled out
Design
Xperia S is very different to previous Xperia models
With sleek lines and an LED panel below the high resolution screen. I like the crisper screen and slimmer bo
Honestly speaking
There is not a lot wrong with the Xperia S so I've had to really think hard to find some defects
Poor battery life
Large form factor awkward for typing
The Xperia S has quirky capacitive buttons
Slow 3G data
An uninspiring screen
And a pokey processor. Its $559.99 price is also steep
Slight rattle in the build
Vital daily recharges
No Ice Cream Sandwich out the box
No microSD card slot
Battery not accessible
No Mac support for file transfer
Doesn't seem to make huge steps forward
The absence of memory expansion is a letdown
And we don’t like the inaccessible battery either.
Touchsensitive buttons not very practical
Limited angles of view
Nonexpandable memory (32 GB)
Photo quality behind the competition
You can find better with 8 Mpx
Camera sensor poorly located
Low battery life
Unfortunately with its good design
There are flaws. The Sony Xperia S severely lacks in grip. Its plastic body can easily slip out of the hands in a hurry
However the hand eventually gets used to the awkward grip. And it has to be said that the Sony Xperia S is hardly compact. Some buttons even require a little stretching to operate in one-handed use. Camera quality too
For what it offers coul
No Ice Cream Sandwich on board yet
Easy to drop
No microSD slot
Slightly poor battery life
Fat chassis
Only Android 2.3
Some may dislike the lack of Ice Cream Sandwich
Lacks the coloured lights of the Xperia U
Strange on/off button placement
Music lacks a little life
Mediocre design
PlayStation bits disappoint
No Ice Cream Sandwich
No storage expansion
Nonremovable battery
Fiddly front touchbuttons
Touch strip beneath screen could be more sensitive
