Abstract: The long awaited “PlayStation Phone” has arrived. Although, it carriers a different name — Xperia Play. Nonetheless, this phone completes several years worth of dreams from gamers and nerds alike all over the world. The basic ingredients include a speedy ...
Unskinned version of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) makes us happy. Sturdy hardware stands up to a frustrated gamer's kungfu grip
Lacks 720p video recording capability, now a standard in smartphone releases. Wireless data is slower 3G standard, not 4G. Only one PlayStation title available at launch

Gamepad is a terrific way to play. Latest version of Android. Overall solid specs,
Doesn't integrate with the world of PlayStation. Not the latest graphics hardware. A bit thick and heavy.
The Xperia Play could be better, of course. First and foremost, it should be a PlayStation phone, with a PlayStation emulator playing PlayStation games cross-platform with PSPs and NGPs. It could also use an up-to-the-moment, super-gamer chipset like N...
The Xperia Play will appeal to mobile gamers who are sick of poor touchscreen controls, and are looking for a more fulfilling gaming experience on their phone. There are only a handful of games right now that are optimised for use with the gamepad, bu...
Overall the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play ranks in as a 'Good' smartphone. It's definitely pushing the boundaries between portable gaming devices and smartphones and really working towards a new market. There are some slight concerns, however, on th...
