Wrapping up our review of the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc we have to say that the company seems to have nailed it this time. The thin arched profile makes you forget that you are holding a gadget with a huge 4.2” screen.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is an expensive proposition but it is currently the most powerful Android device in the market and certainly the prettiest looking one too.

Where we can't hide our disappointment is in seeing poor video recording attached to a strong camera sensor.

Great design, both thin and light. Beautiful LED backlit display. Crisp images and video from the 8-megapixel camera with Exmor sensor, but flimsy, plastic feel to a $650 phone? Small and stiff buttons....Go To Full Review
