Review: Sony Xperia S Android Smartphone

Text and Photos by Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Let's face it. When we think of Android smartphones, Sony isn't the first company that comes to mind. While they've had some notable releases like the Xperia X10, the Xperia Arc and the game ready Xperia Play, Sony's been considered a fringe player in the Android smartphone game and its phones are usually on the high end of the pricing spectrum. Still, Sony has sold a notable numbe of smartphones in its Xperia line (over 30 million to date) and continues to innovate in the space.

The new Sony Xperia S ($99.00 on a 3-year Rogers phone plan) aims to impress in every area, with its stunning 4.3 inch display, 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, a whopping 32GB of onboard storage and a 12 megapixel camera that shoots 1080p video, it could be a serious contender in the super smartphone space.
