Sony Ericsson is planning an entirely new Xperia line will launch in 2011, and the Xperia arc is a device that leads to this line.This new flagship, which is a CES 2011 officially announced, with a number of techniques that Sony is already an in-house: The Reality Display with the BRAVIA Engine and camera phones with Exmor R sensor.
The first shift
After inserting the SIM card and battery, we will begin the unit. At the same time, we have hardware buttons on top and side of the device. Sit in front over the back, home, and the menu button, and speakerphone. On the right side we find a dedicated camera button, a microUSB connector, volume control, but also light. The left side is the 3.5mm headphone jack and the top is on / off button, and HDMI. Behind we see the 8.1 megapixel camera with LED flash, and also at the bottom of the microphone.
Appearance and Design
Sony Ericsson phones is a beautiful thing, that's for sure. While the Xperia they arc another stylish Android device on the market. As we have previously reported Xperia arc very thin and light, which is only 8.7 millimeters in the thinnest part.
The casing is all plastic, but is not a "plastic look. Or is the area above the screen, because it does not really look at any other device is suitable. The lamp is a welcome addition, even though it sits on the side. The notification warning light through a color-mails and / or missed calls, when the phone is turned off.
Shortcut key on the bottom three, I'm not very happy, because the back button is located on the extreme left, and often leave this knob also accidentally on the screen. Gmail, for example, you can: accidentally pressing the back button and the display screen, you can then open the e-mail archiving.Also missing the search button, when asked what some see as a fault can be described as completely and others do not. I use several applications where the search is not the menu is hidden, then the option of application seems to be impossible. I have experienced this for yourself as a failure but this is not the developer of each application. The developer documentation, it is clear that they should ensure that the Search button in a present home. ON / OFF button is embedded in the body and thus the device can not be easily turned on accidentally, it is also a pressing, sometimes very difficult.Fortunately, it is also possible to use the home button to switch the device.
Screen resolution and picture quality
noise reduction for sharper, brighter screen makes. In reality, the screen brightness is anything but bad, even if the resolution in relation to size of the screen is really high. Compared to the retina of the iPhone screen with 960 x 640 pixels 3.5 inches in size, we are in fact far from the Android World. But we first second extension adjacent to really make a difference view.
Mobile BRAVIA Engine menu and then select the Show, on and off. By default, the setting and the pictures are definitely clear and accurate. When we Nexus S with her 4-inch Super AMOLED display (480 x 800 pixels) next to the arch at the time of the Xperia, we see that the images are sharper and show more subdued. Even when we watch a video on YouTube application, we see that the Xperia arc produces a sharper image.
In addition, there are more, from a certain angle you see the yellow glow. Also the screen brightness can be set automatically, which could extend the battery life.The screen is LED-backlit LCD capacitive touch screen and includes a low drop-scratch mineral glass, but it seems like it attracts dust.
