This phone has won my heart too after seeing its review on Youtube.

Before noticing this phone, was acgtually looking at Galaxy S2, but after this pops up, things started to change. I was wondering, why would i want to phone which has no sense of smartphone design. Sony Xperia S has far greater design than the Galaxy S2. Particularly with the illuminate bar that is transparent. Yes yes? I guess i am not the only one who gets tempted by that transparent bar.

Sony Xperia S for teh win! =P

Anyway, does anyone noticed that this phone is a non-removable battery?

I wonder what will be the risks of getting a non-removable battery smartphone.

In fact, when i search the risk of getting a non-removable battery smartphone, what i got is the benefits of it.
One of the highlights was, having a non-removable battery smartphone will reduce the battery waste, people will not buy another backup battery for emergency, thus lesser battery can be produced since it harms the environment.

Price, i guess this will start @ RM1999. It could be RM2099 since the Xperia Arc started @ RM2099.

The camera is great i guess, since its using Exmor lens. Heck i care about its MP. 12.1 MP is overkill for me.
If camera quality is that important to us, might as well buy a proper DSLR. Better safe than sorry, nothing comes in a complete package.

Battery wise. Too bad, the specs are kept getting up and up, thus draining more battery charges. Unless end users like us are not that particular with the phone thickness, having a 2000mAh battery in 4.3" should not be a problem.

Anyway, Sony Xperia S FTW If i buy this phone, this would be my FIRST real phone. All these years were kept using my brother's 2nd hand phone ...

Once battery is killed, literally means the phone can say good bye. Though we all know Li-Ion battery has like 1000 cycle time, but the risk is still there.

Agree with you too, i guess i;ve just found my ideal phone. Even if its a 8MP, it would still an ideal smartphone for me. Does anyone agree with me? MP is just the size of the picture being taken, the quality crisp of a picture is determined more by the lens being used. Correct me if i am wrong.

How much can it be lowered?

1.3k for this? Chances of getting this at 1.3k is hard haha.

Is this for real?
I mean, is it confirmed that the next smartphones are quad cores?
If it is yes, i would like to know more about the brands and models of them
It would be mind blowing to have quad core smartphone

Yes it makes so much sense now on why Sony needs to commercialize their Xperia S and Ion as soon as possible before other competitors announces their upcoming smartphones.

Hell yeah

It is their first phone for SONY since its no longer Sony Ericsson. It could be their flagship phone =)

Having SIRI is good, setting up appointments have never been that easy.

I am more than happy to see Quady smartphones in the market while me myself are happily enough to use dual core smartphone. In fact, when Quady is in the market, the price of dual cores will zoooom down =)

You like Ion more than S ?
I guess Ion has bigger screen and thats all right?

Yes, believe me, i have been watching youtube videos every day about Sony Xperia S

Xperia S no expandable memory card slot? No problem!
It makes me save even more money for not buying SD cards.

And screen size is really personal subjective. Personally i felt 4.3" is big enough, guess it looks real big when i slot it into my pocket. I reckon if the size is keep increasing, there will be towards an extent where it will not look like a smartphone anymore. Smart-tab perhaps

May i know what does it means in terms of lacking in performance?

If you do not mind =)

Are there any references? What are the improvements that you heard?

Thanks for the link

Thanks, i love reading blogs

I am imagining Sony Xperia S with ICS 4.0...
Omgggg pretty gorgeous!!

I doubt so, i guess Sony are now in MASS PRODUCTION for this Xperia S.

Felt the same, black looks more elegant than white.
But somehow i would love to have a white one as my first ever smartphone.

Same here. Will be going to Barcelona for it. Nah juz joking!

Xiao Mi

Same here, gonna buy my 1st smartphone.

Second to that.
I guess we both have the same mindset. If this phone is above 2k, what about the others?

US stands for United States

Give me five! Samsungs are only at their best for their legendary AMOLED!

If its fully white then yes, but seems like its gonna be partially white for the white ones.

Y SONY NO FULL WHITE

Awesomeeee!
I guess it will be RetailPrice RM1699!
But just for realistic, RM1799 should be much closer.

and easier for designers in making the thickness smaller

Correct, whats the point of removable battery? Its not like we are going to remove and slot it back everyday at least once right. I personally felt designers are not stupid so trust them Sony's R&D might just discover the extreme LOW probability of end users to remove the battery. Maybe its time to change.

Custom rom it is always at our own risk right. They dont encourage end users to do so too btw.

If it gets hung up, then its bad.
Just hope that there will be a hard reset button?

Well, i guess the phone would be 2 months or so before it reaches to Malaysia market right?
Correct me if i am wrong.

upgrade spec and stuff?
I dont think there will be anymore upgrade. what do you think about production side?
what i am trying to say is, how on earth they can produce the demand's quantity if there are any upgrades?


Yea3, the first 12MP cam =D
To add on, Sony also has BRAVIA engine, DLNA and so on. Good to buy this phone haha

More quaddies phones from other competitors leads to much lower price for Sony Xperia S
