SONY XPERIA S........
Happy faces, remarkable places. Shoot them in full HD Video and see them shine back from the razor-sharp clarity of the HD Reality Display powered by the Mobile Bravia Engine....
The Xperia S offers the best user experience we've yet seen on a Sony Android phone, but that in itself is not enough. Upcoming devices like the HTC One X, LG Optimus 4X HD, and Samsung Galaxy S III threaten to obviate the Xperia S' existence before it's truly gotten started, while the currently available Galaxy Nexus shows it up in the usability stakes. The Xperia S isn't a bad phone, it's just not particularly good at any one thing. I find this disappointing because Sony's brand ethos has always been about conquering the heights of technology, not settling for a moderately good device in the middle of the pack. Judged by the company's own lofty standards, then, a flagship phone that fails to at least momentarily claim the title of best-in-class has to be considered a failure.
The Sony Xperia S (also called as Sony Ericsson Xperia NX in Japan) is an Android smartphone from Sony launched at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. It is the first Sony-only branded smartphone after Sony acquired Ericsson's stake in Sony Ericsson in January 2012. The Xperia S has a 4.3 in (110 mm) touch-screen with the mobile BRAVIA engine which optimises the picture, a 1.5GHz dual core processor, a 12.0 mega-pixel rear camera, HDMI-out, 1 GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage

Over 90% of the Xperia S' front is display and the back is curved slightly for comfort. The Antenna is embedded in the transparent strip which cuts through the base of the device, the strip illuminates and indicates where the on-screen buttons are placed...
Sony has preserved their custom launcher on Android 4.0.4 and has even added a couple of new tricks to it. There's a new Walkman music player and a new Gallery, which looks great and supports gestures for increasing and reducing thumbnail size (much like Control and the mouse wheel do on Windows).....
