The Sony Xperia S is a super-slim smartphone that distinguishes itself from the crowd of Android based phones that fill up most of the catalogues of mobile network operators.

We just got the new Xperia S from Sony. I’ve been playing with it for the last three hours, and I’m very impressed with the device so far. The interface is sleek and responsive, the hardware is just a treat to the eyes. It’s incredibly slim for a phone with its hardware specifications, the camera takes amazing pictures even in low-light. The screen is larger than on most smartphones, but not too big as to make the device uncomfortable to hold in your hand. There’s a few quirks they need to sort out in regards to the Mac syncing application (Sony Bridge) and Android is definitely less refined than iOS, but other than that there’s not much to criticise.

A comprehensive review is in the works, and will be posted soon.
