hoang ngo As much as i don't like japaneese buisness practices their conservative design is perfect for me altough i'm a niche type of a consumer most people want new unproven things, even gimmics just for sake of being new.
@@JustMe-ll1er totally not true. Bezels are on the front and nobody grips their fone from the front. That "no bezels = no grip" is just folk lore right there.
Ah, the Xperia S. Once the shining light of Sony and the pinnacle of smartphone innovation and creativity, now lying in the dark crevices of oblivion and faded love. No longer supported by its parent for Android updates; no longer cared for by its creator. Yet, it was Sony's very first realisation of a smartphone... How incredibly sad! Still have this phone.
Bought this phone this week and it's AMAZING. I have used my friends Galaxy Nexus and this Xperia S is hands down a much better phone. Brilliant design, amazing screen and camera, very responsive and the Sony service and apps are great. Easily the greatest gingerbread phone ever! Can't wait to get ICS for this phone, it'll be the one of the best this year for sure.
@UgaritSolutions I was trying myself a couple of those phones during the weekend and I didn't encounter any audio problem on the speaker of the phone. Most likely is the particular handset that you have. -Josh
@SimsFanTris The phone does have the messaging feature. If you look on the specification page on the Sony Ericsson website you will see "Messaging" if you click on it you will see "Text messaging (SMS) Send text greetings anywhere in the world" -Josh
I really really like this new phone. I have had Sony Ericsson products for longer than I care to admit (The T68i was the first one I owned). This was the only phone I ever wanted Sony Ericsson to ever make and you have. Well done on such a well made device.
@DieterCorporation The part that seperates the upper part of the phone from the lower one is some transparent plastic. And in this part is also the antenne integrated, so you can hardly see it.
That really depends on the store/region where you purchase the phone from. I'd suggest o contact the store where you got it from and explain to them that you did not get them to see what can be done. -Josh
I just fell in love with this phone!!!! I desperately want one!!!! Can´t take my mind off of it!!!! LOL Excellent job Sony, I really like ur models!!!! Grettings from Ecuador.
@eugmaster We don't have that information available at the moment. The one we know is coming to the US really soon is the Xperia™ ion sold by AT&T. -Josh
I got it some days back , till now the best smartphone I have ever held on my hand..Design , UI ,specs everything is top notch...never hanged till now , although I play a lot of games and many softwares running in the background...Its a sexy beast :)....
Honestly I'm not sure if this is the case. I'll try to test it myself and get back to you when I do. One thing you can try though is, use a different video player from the Play Store. I'm using one on my phone called "MX Video" and so far I haven't seen any video type that I can't play. -Josh
ive always been a fan of sony ericsson. i love how u can custumize ur phone with themes nd what not. ifell inlove since the very first phone. these are just perfect for me since i love customizing everything lol
I'm still using this mobile with updated android version to naugot 7.1. A great mobile that surviving for more than a half decade. Thanks Sony for this awesome mobile ;-)
@sidkarmic Cool that you have the new phone and all those other products! Hope you enjoy them very much :) And when it comes ti play multiplayer games it really depends on the game that you are trying to play. -Josh
the update is awesome and really worth the long wait.no crashes or lags.really smooth :D thank you sony for this wonderfull phone.still competes current phones
Xperia S. Best thing ever happened to me.:D Love the new sync thing & i have a Vaio, BRAVIA TV & Sony Tablet S completely awesome. My mother is so troubled with me playing music & video all over the house sitting in my room hahaha. Now waiting for Xperia U for my GF. Please can u help me how you play multiplayer gaming ?
Thanks for the reply. I went for ACRO S and just got it last week. Pretty sweet and awesome! ;) It's a bit of sad that I just realize that the phone is listed as 'archived model' by SONY.
@alankstiyo At the moment we don't have any info if this phone will come to the US. However the Xperia™ ion will be released in the US sold exclusively by AT&T in Q2 this year. -Josh
Yup. Like what I also said, my Xperia S doesn't have a warranty from Sony. I bought it not from Sony but just from an online store here in the Philippines (it is brand new, has a receipt and came from a known online store). What do you think must I do? Thanks!
Maybe you can check out the Settings>Battery section to see which apps is unnaturally high in the battery usage list. You can disable the apps one by one for a period of time to isolate the rogue app.
It is completely normal to feel the phone warm when playing games on the phone continuously since the graphic processor unit on the phone is active all the time and also the background light can cause the phone to increase in temperature. Then again this is normal and it won't get to a point that will neither cause you nor the phone any issues. -Josh
I've played on my Xperia™ S a several of the Gameloft games and they all show in full screen. What game is it that doesn't show in full screen on your phone? And where did you download it from? -Josh
I have personally used a different video player app and the quality is the same as with the default player on the phone. If possible, tell me the name of the gallery app that you are using so that I can try it myself (hope it doesn't require root access). -Josh
You are very lucky! I recently bought Sony Xperia S and my experience has been any thing but great. I tried to transfer contacts via Bluetooth, but could only import one at time from the phone"s internal memory to the phonebook. Secondly, the mic volume is just too low, to make calls I have to use headsets! Thirdly, the battery is just too poor. By the way, the mic issue is not yet sorted, as Sony Xperia Support does not respond to mails!
Is the song available for download? Is it a song that could be purchased on iTunes or other music store? If so would I be able to use it in a non-commercial video? Thank you
When you are trying to open a picture it should ask you what default media viewer do you want to use. And the Mobile BRAVIA engine should be working all times as long as you activate it on the settings menu. -Josh
I'm an xperia z owner, and yeah, when i see an xperia s i always fall in love with the design, especially the white one. Oh Gawd, Sony you're such a fantastic DESIGNER. Just an Underrated company because of Samsung -_-
Another Wonderful piece of Beauty from Sony (Ericsson). I always see Sony Ericsson as an Artist who always explore new uniqueness in their craft-ship no matter how small or how big it would be. They always do what is sensible, and like an artist sometimes experiments went wrong but this is what push artist to be more extra-ordinary. This is how I see it and this is they are still doing it. I have only one wish to see X2's design into new devices, and P5's concept back in business. Please?
I really love sony and especially this smartphone! but I wonder if the same will not happen to him, as on my x10 mini. I know it is too early to know with 100% certainty, but this mobile phone, in addition to 4.0) will receive the Android 5.0? keep up the wonderful work! and respond, because I'm really looking forward to buy it. is beautiful! Congratulations to the team. (Portugal)
Imagine Sony makes 2017 version of this smartphone with bezeless screen and transparent strip. They would sell millions.
hoang ngo Bezeless screens are so overrated as you cannot get a good grip of the phone.

You are famous now
I'm getting this in a few weeks or so I hope. I love it! I hope Sony gives us quad core soon, too.
2019?
IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
THE DESIGN AND EVERYTHING JUST MAKE ME CRAZY!
YOU ROCK ME, SONY!
"the HD screen makes you back up a little bit because it's so real"
*qhd/uhd smartphone in 2018 laughs in the background
And that UHD 4K screen is also Sony :)
HD resolution in a 4.3" screen... Near to de 350pp... They was great 8 years ago.
But I still find those much real, rather than today's crystal clear uhd+, retina eye, superamoled and what not display
Using Amoled now and it strains my eyes TBH.

It doesn't matter how much you complain those were some undoubtedly goodol'days

Also I remember watching this exact video before I bought it!

i bought this phone. so dissapointed.
Its 2015 now, It was amazing at that time.
Well done on the transparent antenna. So distinctive and intriguing, best thing about the NXT series.
We're really happy to know you love the phone so much Giorgos :) -Josh
Can I update it to Oreo?
WOW!!!!ASTONISHING!!!!! KT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! SEROUSLY!!!!!

@DieterCorporation The transparant thing is the antenna, i think it's a great idea.
Honestly I'm not sure if this is the case. I'll try to test it myself and get back to you when I do. One thing you can try though is, use a different video player from the Play Store. I'm using one on my phone called "MX Video" and so far I haven't seen any video type that I can't play. -Josh
peace of art , i like the design im considering buying one this week.

Nice to know Esteban! Hope that you enjoy the phone a lot :) -Josh
Can you try to get the sames directly from the Gameloft website? This is just to see if it works properly that way. -Josh
Those are most likely system folder and if you take a look there are no files in those folders so there is no need to worry about deleting them. -Josh
@Hazard8089 there is a front facing, its 1,3 mpx and records in 720 p
@DieterCorporation the antenna is on the bottom of the phone.

Now waiting for Xperia U for my GF.
Please can u help me how you play multiplayer gaming ?
@manamal1 We don't have the exact release date yet, it will be announced on our Blog page. -Josh
SO, the transparent strip is the antenna , or part of the antenna that connects to the real antenna ?
Does the transparent bar lights up when recieving notifications (SMS, Facebook etc...)?
One question!!!! will it support image capture while video recording feature of ICS????
and why we didn't see 3D smartphones from sony??
@ChemyTx We don't have market specific information at the moment for this phone. The release date for it is global so far. -Josh

On the side note i do like to know what happens if the battery is damaged. Can it be removed and changed?

Just to confirm, do you mean how to add favorite/bookmark on the browser? -Josh
Love this phone from design to performance. Does anyone know the name of the song?
Only black version released in Canada, when will the white version come out?
Is the song available for download? Is it a song that could be purchased on iTunes or other music store? If so would I be able to use it in a non-commercial video? Thank you
