The 1500 mAh battery performs pretty well. It managed to keep the device on for almost 7 hours with moderate use. Summing it up, the Arc S is a thin and lightweight phone with great sound quality. Additionally, not many droids offer an HDMI port these da...

Abstract: The Xperia Arc was a highlight in Sony Ericsson's portfolio this year: a super-slim, über-stylish handset with a high-resolution display. So, the news that it's now available in a version with a faster processor should be welcome, even if the new chip is ...
Faster performance, can now shoot panoramic images; pseudo 3D capture; good battery performance; improved software tweaks; screenshot function.
No front-facing camera; no qHD display; text input still not as good as default Gingerbread keyboard.
