Отзывы о Смартфон Sony Xperia S

Если батарея нормализируется, хотя-бы одна зарядка на 1,5 дня - аппарат стоит покупать!!! Если же режим недержания будет и дальше такой-же - не стоит озадачиватьс SII и точка!

звук в наушниках (не родных) сенхайзер, просто улет! после ipad кажется, что раньше слушал какую то балалайку...а сейчас все композиции...

Стоял перед выбором между ним и Samsung galaxy SII.В магазине экран был как обычный.У самса мне всё нравилось кроме внешнего вида.Не капли не жалею от выбора.Вам тоже советую!

Знаете, что мне здесь понравилось? Куда ни ткни, везде что-то новое и порой ранее не встречавшееся. Прекрасные внешний вид, дисплей, камера, материалы,...

не выдержит...

Да, у телефона неплохие показатели, но не более того) ну неплохая...

I consider my self a veteran of Sony Ericsson phones dating back to the X10 to the Arc and now the S. I was waiting and waiting for the Ion promised by Sony and At&T but they decided to ignore the US so since this was available now as an international phone and further investigation revealed this phone would work fine on At&T networks, I decided to get it. I could not bring myself to give this phone 4 stars but I also feel there are a couple real drawbacks from making this a perfect phone but there are no options for 4.5 stars so I have this phone 5 because I love it so much.First off, the design is classy and can only be rivaled by the IPhone. This phone blows away Samsung phones in terms of design. This is Sony's first phone without dedicated physical buttons for home back and menu. This adds to the physical beauty but unfortunately the touch keys are not as responsive. With practice it almost becomes seamless and unnoticeable but it may become annoying if you don't get the hang of it, luckily I did.The bar at the bottom of the phone is clear and serves a dual purpose. It serves as an antenna for the phone and also lights up with a light blue light when the phone is activated. This does help because it gives you an indication of where the home, menu and back keys are. Otherwise it is nearly impossible to touch the right spot in the dark. Unfortunately, I feel like Sony missed out a 3rd more useful and fun purpose. The bar could have lit up different colors to show notifications. Instead, the notification light is on the top left hand corner exactly like the X10. Blue is a text message, green is an email. This would have been awesome if there was an option to use the clear bar as notification not just for the pretty aspect of it all but because you could tell if you had a message from any angle. I feel like this flew over Sony's head as being an obvious great use for the bar.The screen is beyond amazing. Full HD in all it's glory and blows away Iphone's Retina display and Samsung's OLED display. How do I know? My brother has the Iphone and my wife has the Samsung. Comparative views showed no contest people. This is truly the best phone display I have ever seen. I also heard on the internet that the pixel density was better but seeing it is believing it. Trust me, this screen is beautiful.The camera was quite a disappointing. Megapixels mean absolutely nothing. Sony's 12 megapixel camera lost out to the iphone with my comparative tests. Iphone manage to beat this phone with pics. Not by much but enough for me to tell that Iphone's camera is better. Which is ironic because Iphones camera lens is made by Sony. Anyway, it takes fairly good pictures but certainly wont replace your professional camera. Furthermore, the focusing is excruciatingly slow. It takes a very long time to focus. I also didn't like that there was no option to silence the camera as in prior phones like the arc. The annoying sound could not be muted. The video camera tests fared better and it takes great video.As far as software goes, Sony in a rare event for them; hit it out of the ball park on the software side. Normally Sony is renound for their hardware beauty but software has always been a weak point for Sony. I'm happy to report they have only improved on their software. Sony has learned it's lesson and did not mettle too much with the Android operating system. The only thing they did was ad a gorgeous skin over the android operating system. I can tell you, this is the best android skin out there without a doubt. Simple and classy. That's it, all they did was make this phone look pretty and with this display, they did a wonderful job. Even the stock screen savers included are gorgeous.The common apps were also wonderful. The music app is much improved. I used to have a bought dedicated music app no more with this app. It finally has equalizer ability and the sound is Sony quality. they also added a wonderful convenient feature by allowing you to play pause and skip from the lock menu. So you don't have to go through steps to get to the app for these functions. Simply turn on the screen and touch from the lock screen. The other wonderful aspect is the video player. When you plug in your phone to your pc it recognises the phone as an Xperia S and brings up a menu for options such as transfers. I would suggest ignoring that and using your phone as a simple hard drive. All files are there for you to simply drag and drop if you want to add files. When you add video, the phone automatically converts the video to a format playable by the player. Prior SE phones did not have this capability and more importantly it plays HD video! I downloaded an HD movie and it converted the video for play back in all it's HD glory! WOW. Love it!The phone is also fast. Significantly so thanks to the dual core processor. Comparing my SE Arc with this phone proves that speed has increased significantly thanks to the dual core processor. Web surfing is also qui

It took me hours and hours of research on getting a new android phone. I finally choose Sony Xperia S, a phone not many people would talk about, nor would they even heard about it. It isn't available on any US cellular carriers, and by no other means you have to order it online to actually have the opportunity to grasp and hold it. The closest phone to this beauty would be its bigger sibling, the Xperia Ion, that one may experience on any AT&T branches. Both are closely resembled, though some design cues might mean a whole lot difference on user experience.Alright, enough of this babbling on my journey to buy this phone. Overall, the minimalistic design of Xperia S is what caught me the most. The placement of the cameras, all the mini buttons, the logo and the written SONY and Xperia words hasn't quirk me to the slightest bit. It is all perfectly placed, and to add on it, the presence of the transparent bar on the bottom part adds to the overall uniqueness on this fine product. Upon opening the box, I was always worried on the dimension of this phone, with the thickness of it being my largest concern. Sitting at 10.6mm thick, the specs itself tells how bulky this phone might be, however that's the thickest part of the phone. The thinner part of the edges really gave a feeling of slimness on the phone. Given it's size, 144g doesn't seem so heavy upon holding. It is an almost-perfect dimension for a 4.3" screen. The matte finish on the back felt smooth when touched. Forget about the aluminum finish on the ION and Xperia P; this phone actually looks and feels premium without it. The width of this phone,too, is something I am pleased about it. It really give me a sense of holding a smaller phone.Again, my aesthetic judgement might not be similar to other people. Perhaps transitioning from HTC Inspire 4G might tilt my view, as it was heavier and slightly bigger.User experience:Let's start with the display. Xperia S has the highest PPI on the screen of all smartphones available on the market. Everything is pin sharp and is really an eye candy to anyone looking at this device. The brightness is just as great as other handheld with 100% brightness and I am setting it at 60% all the time. Color reproduction and saturation is very natural, though at first glance, one might notice the sammy devices with amoleds would give a much colorful display. I liked the warmth of the color as it felt just right, just as one might view the real surroundings.After playing with the device for a while, I upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 via xda-developers website. The phone felt more buttery smooth, no lags were visible, and I would say it is at least as smooth as my 4th-gen iPod touch. Web browsing gives me a much better experience. Pinch-n-zoom is fast, and everything looks sharp and nice.All other software and apps upgrade is not gimmicky, flashy and people presume an android OS is, and Sony did a very great job at adding the intuitiveness and aesthetic elements on user experience.The Walkman app is easier to operate in terms of creating a new playlist.The album, or gallery app is the best picture-displaying application that ever exist to date.The camera, well, should I even comment on that? Sony phones are one of the best product lines to have great camera that shoot quality pictures. I set my camera to 9MP instead of 12MP as I prefer having a 16:9 ratio on all the shots I took.The battery doesn't seems to improve much on ICS, and like other smartphones, the battery gave enough power to run the device on moderate use throughout the day. By 'the day', I meant a solid 24-hours, not a morning-to-evening run. The power supplied to this device is quite satisfactory.Also, android apps from the Play store are much more accessible and nonrestrictive, unlike the App Store. The two android-exclusive apps that I find useful is music paradise and pretty much any emulators for past games. I can literally download any songs to my phone for FREE, and I can play pokemon on Xperia S.Overall, having owned this phone for a week, I am very satisfied with what it can deliver. Not only is android OS on Sony devices cater more on my preferences, but the design of the phone can quite be an absolute reason why I bought this phone. Aesthetic value can last longer than anything else, and I cannot see any phones topping the design of Xperia S in the nearby time.

The Xperia S is a stunning phone to look at. Having already read plenty of reviews and familiarized myself with the weak points of the device before purchasing it, I was ready to deal with the inconvenience of less-than-responsive buttons on the Android navigation bar, and a spotty experience updating and maintaining the device via my Mac.However, ultimately, I ended up re-selling the device and returning to a vanilla Android 4.1.1 experience on my Galaxy Nexus.Pros:- Stunning, rich, dense display, good overall system performance- Excellent "theme" -- not invasive, and very stylish (if you like a themed experience...). I enjoyed lot of the widget behavior improvements and the overall "feel" of the themed OS under my finger.- Sony's Walkman music app is awesome, and I was able to find a good Last.fm scrobbler to support it.Cons:- Very poor battery life (half-day in my experience) with a built-in non-replaceable battery- No HSPA+ support on T-Mobile Network so it was "Edge" network or nothing here in the US. I'm told that if I were using a SIM from AT&T, I would have had access to 3G. However, stepping from very fast "4G / faux-G" (HSPA+) T-Mobile coverage, all the way down to ether 2G, or 3G -- both options felt impossibly inferior and hard to tollerate.- Though this phone was recently updated to Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, the upgrade via Sony's proprietary software on my Mac failed a number of times, and was a hassle even when it worked. Also, this is *still* not the current version of Android. The device will always lag behind Google-updated devices in terms of OS version.- "Playstation Certified" means nothing. There were about six games to choose from, and the experience was not good on this device -- which did not even come with the Playstation Market installed. Playing the titles via a huge swath of dodgy on-screen buttons that cover most of the game action was totally sub-par. It is a better experience to rip and play your own PS1 titles via an emulator on any other Android device. I had fooled myself into thinking that if I bought a "Playstation Certified" device, there would be more working titles or a better gameplay experience, but that really wasn't the case. Imagining that I'd be playing Xenogears, Final Fantasy, Grandia, Lunar... all my old favorite PS1 RPGs, was the thing I most looked forward to about this device when I purchased it, however none of those titles were available. In fact, Wild Arms was the only RPG option.- Patchy software support via the Google Play Store was troubling -- nobody tests for the device, so you have to be ready to see apps behaving in nonstandard ways.If I were an AT&T customer, a Windows user, and a non-gamer with a desk job so I could charge the device during the day -- I might have stayed with this device. If the above describes you, this is indeed a very sexy-looking device.My advice is to confirm what network you will be operating on before you buy. Just because it's "GSM" doesn't mean you'll have a great experience on some networks. This is not a junk device -- it is very high-quality and it is obvious that Sony has put it's best foot forward, but there were a number of things that ultimately held my experience back to the point that I chose to move on.

I am a Sony fan but honestly I was expecting more from this phone. This is my 3th Xperia cellphone, and I was really exciting to check this new model.Good: Really nice shape, the screen in HD is amazing to watch videos. The camera is fast and high quality as well. The battery have a long duration compared with others smartphones. The software is much better than the previous version, the touching keyboard works nice in double languages and switches automatically. Its is really nice. The system to recognize the voice is amazing too, you just need to shake the cell phone to activate the Google voice. The frontal camera is nice and high quality as well, I am using it to skype my mom in Brazil using this phone and works fine, like my laptop in video conference. The backcover is quite easy to remove to insert you microSIM chip, which is much much better than the others models, so far.Bad: The size is too big for me. Its is thin, but for example, you can not do a call easily with a unique hand for example. It is bad in some situations, for example in a cold weather, but if you have big hands this will not be a problem for you. The quality of the sound is bad compared with previous Xperia mini pro and Xperia pro for example, and I like Sony due the high quality of the sounds in their devices. Another problem with the sound, is that it is too loud, even at the minimum volume. If you are in a shared environment and want listen music in a low volume do dot expect the low volume with this phone, you will need to use your headphones. This is bad, because sometimes my hears are "tired" from headphones. Another problem is that If you are using headphones and wanna pass for the next music, the control of the headphone can do that. The same silence button of headphone can be used to pass to the next music, which is cool, but sometimes its simply does not work.... I will keep it with me but I guess the Xperia pro is a better option after the last upgrade of the software provided by Sony. This model sometimes became frozen, and you can do nothing, once that the battery are non removable. This last problem improved after the upgrade. However, that last thing that you wanna do after buy a new cool cellphone is waste your time doing a software upgrade in the fist week with your new phone. Good luck in your choice. --Marcelo

I did a lot of article reviews reading on this phone and finally decided to click on the purchase button. There are plenty of reviews out there that will tell you the pros and cons, and most of them matching this phone against the Iphone 4S, and of course they said it is no where compared to the Iphone4s. Im writing this review based on my own personal experience with it. Im happy, not too happy though, with this phone. Screen is beautiful; aps load fast; organization of widgets and such are a bit confusing, but you can rearragne them to your own preferences. Camera is great, although a bit lacking in some editing options, and that seemed to be one of the problems I have with this phone: everything seemed to missing something, for me it's the delete options of files I don't like right when I want to (instead I have to go to a different place to do it), but perhaps this is because I only own the phone for a week. Battery is the same as most phone I owned (including the Iphone4S), needing a recharge at the end of the day, which I seen not as a problem because you can just plug it in the charger and off to bed you go. My other problem with this phone is the materials it was made with - plastic. Sure its design looks "un-generic", yet as I have phones that made of fiberglass, aluminium, even titanium, I can't help but feel the phone is a bit cheap and, well, plasticky. There are gaps between the pieces, making it looks like it was hastily put together (if you seen an Iphone or samsung, you will see they have a 1-piece feel). Dust will collect along these gaps/edges. The flimsy removable battery is the most annoying to me... I personally think a seperate Sim card slot that is ejectable would be better design. The phone size and weight feel fine to me, admittedly this is my biggest phone ever yet. It felt as thick as samsung wave and heavy as the Iphone 4S, a lot lighter than Nokia Arte!! An AT&T version with removable SDcard and LTE (Xperia Ion) is on the way if you are more of a tech spec person. As for me I love the design of the phone. Have not try to hook it up via hdmi mini cable (which included in the box, so I don't know why some reviewers said they have to go buy 1) to the Sony Bravia TV yet (I sounded like a sony fan huh??:). The 3 little "buttons" that are located inside the transparent bar on the phone have their sensor located on top of them, which are hard to see in the dark or at certain angles. The bar itself lit up, thus showing the "buttons" beautifully, but I wish it also does the same with the sensors. Most said they have problem pressing these sensors (which take a bit used to since you keep thinking of the "buttons" in the bar:) and it takes on average 3-4 touch to get them respond, but that is not so in my case. I found if you press your finger firmly on it, instead of just flick your finger across it as if it was the phone display, you WILL get a response. This phone will serve the purposes I buy it for, with more than enough specs and power to spare. Design is good but can definitely be improved, i.e. the bar could change color or "dance" whenever you touch the screen:( ! It may not be for everyone, but there are other phones out there with the similiar pricetags. Oh watching netflix on this phone is like watching it on my TV!! :D

I am a diehard Sony fan. I have a Vaio, PSP, PS3, 2 Cybershots, 2 Sony headphones and a Sony television so the Xperia was basically the last Sony product to complete my Sony family... I used to have an iPhone so I might make some comparisons between those two.Pros:First off, the cellphone is amazingly beautiful and the screen looks amazing; you have to see it to believe it. However, the screen makes pictures sometimes look "too" nice. I took pictures with this phone and it looked amazing on screen, however I uploaded it on my computer and I was kind of disappointed. hahaha but the screen is amazing to watch videos. I love the dedicated camera button on the side so I don't have to turn on the phone and go to the camera to bring up the camera. In addition, the matte back of the phone looks very nice. There is an LED light in the front that flashes when you have a notification and the color of the light is the color of the app, which is VERY cool. Purple for Yahoo Mail, Blue for Facebook, Green for Whatsapp/LINE/WeChat, etc etc.Cons:I love how Android phones can be customizable so I decided to customize the heck out of the UI in the phone. However, this led to the phone being a bit slow, so I don't know if it is the fact that I am using the GO Launcher Ex that is making the phone slow, if I am running too many apps, or if the phone is a bit slower than the iPhone in general... I was kind of disappointed in that. In addition, the camera crashes sometimes which bothers me because I like to take a LOT of pictures. Unfortunately, the phone does not come with a music player program so I had to download one, but when locking the phone, it's just not as convenient as iPhone's double click on the home button to bring up the music player. (If anyone has any free music player download recommendations w/ a good lock screen player mode, please tell me!) Also, the bottom 3 buttons are not as sensitive as I would like; I have to press the buttons a couple of times sometimes for it to register.Overall:The phone is very nice looking. It is very eye catching and my friends ask me what kind of phone is it when they see it. (Not a lot of people know I guess, but I like to be special hahaah) The screen is the best part of this phone and the speakers are very loud when you want them to be. The S is running on Gingerbread but Sony is coming out with Ice Cream for S sometime next year I hope. Hopefully this will make the phone faster! There is a newer version of this phone which is supposedly faster but I don't know by how much.

Product had some issues but nothing major..Display wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It is very crisp than any other phones but colors are not spectacular and seems washed out.I switched to Xperia SL to Xperia Arc and even Arc seems to have more accurate colors than SL.The phone feels very good but the overall build quality is just alright. Quite a lot of dirt might get into edges.I was quite worried about the embedded battery since it's amount isn't very much (1750mAh) to power dual core processor and HD display.However, sony did a good job of managing the better life quite well. It will last a full day use with normal usage[web browsing, txting and calling] w/ 50% brightness of the screen.Snapdragon S3 1.7ghz dual core processor is quite outdated(2011) but the phone itself is pretty fast.However, the phone has stopped and been non-responsive unexpectedly twice already and it was pretty frustrated since it's battery is embedded.I don't know what's the deal with unexpected stop and it happens when i watch youtube videos.. hopefully sony will fix this problem by software update or something.Navigation touch buttons on the bottom of the phone is not really responsive and you kind of have to figure out where the touch sensor is and then once your fingers get used to it, its no problem.The camera takes little bit longer to capture and focus than such phones that has Snapdragon S4, S4pro, Nvidia Tegra3, Exynos 4412 Quad, A6 processors. (Ex. IPhone5, Galaxy S3, HTC OneX, LG Optimus G)But the quality of the picture is comparable to any other phones.Lastly, Design of the phone is the best out of all the other phones in current market right now.Transparent bar at the bottom makes the phone look distinctive and unique. It's square and arc mixture of design makes it look very sharp, clean, and makes comfortable in your hand.I would give this phone 3 and a half stars cuz of it's overall build quality and price but since there arnt any option for half star and I'm a sony fan so.. yeah:]If you are a sony fan and care about the design the most then this is it.Pros.-Unique & distinctive design-Matt finish and rounded arc design makes not slippery and comfortable in your hand.-Camera-Battery life-Clear and loud speaker-High density pixels(342ppi) HD displayCons.-Colors of the display is not as accurate and seems to be washed out.-Unexpected stop issues-Non-responsive navigation touch sensor.
