SONY ERICSSON EXPERIA ARC

                The Xperia Arc is certainly a large handset but still quite comfortable to hold and lightweight. It runs a 1 GHz Scorpion processor with the Adreno 205 GPU for accelerating games and video playback. The LED backlit display sports a 480 x 854 pixel resolution that’s high enough to make colours seriously stand out. It doesn’t have a hot swap slot for the microSD which could be an issue for some, however 320 MB of internal storage is available for apps. Sony Ericsson has included the TimeScape UI option and widget for simultaneously updating both your Twitter and FB accounts. TimeScape also allows you to view all your messages, people’s updates on FB/Twitter and new calls/messages from this one vertical scrolling interface.
                 The native audio player with its few EQ presets managed to dish out audio quite well. Tones, although slightly jarring on full volume, were still decently well balanced. The Arc doesn’t support DivX or XviD video codecs out of the box. So you’ll have to download and use a third party media player from the Android Market. The Arc is well equipped for connectivity from 3G, standard EDGE/ GPRS, Wi-Fi with DLNA compatibility and tethering to creating a 3G Wi-Fi hotspot. The 8 megapixel camera is ccompanied by an LED flash that’s quite handy in low lit areas. However, the quality of images shot was quite average especially in low light. The Arc’s 1500 mAh battery serves it well. It lasts for a little over two days with moderate usage. For its price, it should have offered more features such as a dual-core CPU, larger screen and more storage space.

Verdict: The slimmest and most feature-rich handset in its class.
For: Smooth user interface, good audio quality.
Against: No DivX and MKV support.
