Also, for some reason, the default resolution of the camera is 6 megapixels, not 8, forcing you to make that change in the settings the other resolution options are 2 megapixels in both and aspect ratios. Similarly, in auto-scene mode, the Arc S lists only basic camera options like geotagging, a self-timer, and the digital zoom. Kicking the phone into Normal capture mode, however, unlocks manual settings like White Balance, Exposure, and Image Stabilizer.
The phone can also create pictures in standard wide panorama shots or even in a 3D panorama format. You accomplish this by placing the camera in Panorama mode, hitting the shutter button and panning the phone slowly across its field of vision. I plan to test this feature and update the review as soon as possible. The Xperia Arc imaging prowess extends to video as well. Its p HD camcorder captured very smooth movies both indoors and outside without any pixelation or stutters.
The handset's microphone also did a good job of picking up subjects, an improvement over the previous Arc. Call quality was satisfactory. Volume was high and voices sounded clear and natural, but the earpiece doesn't get particularly loud.
Callers described our voice as clean and free of clipping and they couldn't easily tell we were on a cellular line. Calls made through the underpowered speakerphone were not quite as pleasing. People on the other end said that I sounded free of distortion and they had no problem understanding me. But things got worse when I moved a few feet away from the phone since volume was low even in a small conference room and callers reported hearing slight background hum.
Certainly no multicore superphone, the Xperia Arc S comes moderately equipped with a single-core, 1. Also, quad-core Tegra 3 chips from Nvidia could hit as soon as early Still, the Arc S launched apps quickly, and menu navigation was nimble, with no noticeable lag. Data, however, is a different story. Though technically a 3G handset, we clocked middling average download speeds of 1.
Uploads were just as uninspiring, coming in at 1. But for what the Xperia Arc lacks in data throughput, it makes up in longevity. Sony Ericsson claims the phone has a rated battery life of 7 hours and 25 minutes of talk time and 19 days of standby time.
In anecdotal testing, the phone lasted over 24 hours during moderate use. In another test, it played music for 18 hours straight while I occasionally launched apps and flipped though settings menus.
While this refreshed model features peppier processing and comes in four spiffy color schemes, not much has really changed. Still, much of what the phone offers remains compelling such as an outstanding 8.
Brian Bennett. Basically the same phone released at the start of the year, the Arc S is a good phone that may struggle to stand out amongst the crowd in an excellent year of All-in-all, a lovely phone. It's no a huge upgrade to the Arc, but the faster processor and faster HSPA download speeds might appeal, and it's always worth getting an upgraded phone when you're being tied into a long contract.
We just wish In following the "S" trend, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S may be little more than a speedier version of the six-month-old Arc, but that makes it no less desirable. The Arc S retains the Arc's stunning slim lines and razor sharp screen and Sony Ericsson has done a good job with Xperia Arc S. You get an awful lot of capability for the price, and the screen, good camera and fast processor are highlights among many positive features.
This is a very strong handset indeed Reviewers Didn't Like Middling processor Poor battery life Must pull the battery to swap memory cards Still no front-facing camera Minor upgrades compared to the Xperia arc Poor viewing angles Small and impractical physical buttons Text input still not as good as default Gingerbread keyboard. By What Hi-Fi? By ThinkDigit on January 02, 70 The Arc S does make us wonder - is it a completely new phone, or just an upgrade?
