First Look: XPERIA Arc from Sony Ericsson

Sony Ericsson is stepping on it after a long while being out of the race as it releases the XPERIA Arc. This issue makes use of the Android OS and tries to get a chunk of the high-end segment of the market. The Arc follows the success of the XPERIA X10 which somehow repaired the image of the company.
The market will be kinder to the Xperia Arc as we already know that they can produce top notch gadgets but they have to improve on the delivery of updates.
The Xperia Arc has the following features:
  • 125 x 63.0 x 8/7 to 10mm in Dimension
  • Weight: 117 grams
  • Display 16M color 4.2” capacitive touch screen with 854×480 pixels
  • Brain: 1GHz Qualcom MSM8255 Snapdragon platform
  • OS: Android 2.3
  • Camera: 8 MP with LED flash, touch focus, and face detection
  • WiFI, Bluetooth
  • Proximity sensor, Bravia engine, accelerometer, multitouch input
As seen on the features list above, the XPERIA Arc makes up for the lack of RAM and multitouch input of its older sibling the X10. It also gives you a bigger screen that has a better image quality because of the Bravia technology. This powerful monster also has a micro HDMI port to add to its connectivity answers
Design
In terms of the design lines, the X10 will look like an ancient when placed side by side the slimmer and sleeker Arc. Sony Ericsson has done it well with the glossier plastics and gradient design for the back plate.
Display
The most interesting part of the screen will be the use of the Sony Bravia technology which increases the contrast and sharpness of what you see. The screen of the Arc can be considered as among the best in the market today.
User Interface
You will get the Gingerbread or Android 2.3 with the XPERIA Arc. They axed the Mediascape which had issues with sending out updates.
Overall, the SE EXPERIA Arc has strong potentials but the overcrowded high end market will still be very crowded.
