Abstract: The past year has seen Sony Ericsson releasing a slew of Android phones to fit just about every conceivable niche. First to arrive was the Xperia Arc, a great all-rounder with a striking, slim design. Since then we’ve seen the same basic hardware power...
High pixel density display, Designconscious chassis, Good loudspeaker, Dual mics for noisecancellation and stereo sound capture
Camera could be better, LED light doesn't serve as automatic flash
To summarize our impressions from the tiny phone – it is tempting to dismiss the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray as a less-capable version of the Xperia arc, but what you get is in fact a more compact variant, without sacrificing much but an HDMI port. Actua...

Exquisite design; Timescape UI; Exmor R camera sensor; Small;
Only LED light, not flash; no smart dialing; No HDMI port;
This is a fantastic phone on its own merit, but the value for money factor catapults it ahead most of its competition. An iPhone 4 16GB retails for $849 and yet this gem is almost half of that, at $449. Ray is proof Sony is beginning to find its pro fo...
Great 8MP camera, Home button doubles as notification LED, Compact but powerful, sleek design, Supports HD voice (not on Vodafone currently)
3.3” screen a bit too small, Limited internal memory
This phone will appeal to people who want a physically smaller phone without compromising on features. Vodafone have it available now at $5 per month on top of the $29 cap or $5 per month on top of the $45 infinite plan both on 24 month contracts. Pe...
