Colours on the Xperia S are true-to-life vibrant, details are pin-sharp and the contrast really gives your great depth. We’ve only used the Xperia S for a few hours but we’re very inclined to say that the Xperia S has the best display you can get on an Android device. It’s something you must experience yourself to see what we mean."

Quote: "The Xperia S isn’t the fastest phone on paper, neither does it have the biggest screen size in the market. However in the sea of smart phones shouting latest specs, the Xperia S performed up to expectation while being a good looker at the same time.
If you plan to get one, we strongly advise you to get a case as soon as possible. The Xperia S body and its matte finish looks elegant but any minor dings and dents would be very obvious especially with the white version. Should you get one? If you’re looking for something different, this is definitely a phone to get with its iconic and recognisable transparent belt. It’s hard to not notice especially at night.
The camera is a fast performer from sleep mode but obviously isn’t as snappy as the recent HTC One X. Our initial impression is while the One X is a fast snapper, the Xperia S is likely to produce better quality but we will reserve our comments for our full shoot out coming out soon.
At RM1,899, the Xperia S is reasonably priced and it is available for purchase on contract with all major telcos in Malaysia. With new quad core rivals like the HTC One X and upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III, the Xperia S will have an uphill battle in the next few months. As the first Android smart phone model to launch in 2012, things are looking good for Sony and the Xperia S is currently one of our top smart phone picks. We can’t wait to see what Sony will unveil next."

Quote: "With Android 4.0, the Xperia S would’ve felt a far more rounded device. The hardware is distinctive and, for the most part, a success – the screen in particular is bright and pleasingly pixel-dense – and the Snapdragon processor, though short a few cores on other recent rivals, still keeps things churning at a satisfactory pace. It’s software that leaves the Sony feeling old beyond its time."

Quote: "Pros: Great snapper; clear bright display; handy NFC tags; nice design
Cons: No Ice Cream Sandwich on board yet
Verdict: Sony has done a grand job with its first solo production. The Xperia S is a fine machine for surfing the web, watching films and listening to tunes. It also has a top snapper and good looks. We're looking forward to the next Xperia smartphone to come out of the Sony"

Quote: "The Xperia S may be the first Sony smartphone to drop the Ericsson moniker, but make no mistake – this is not a greenhorn smartphone. The combination of a powerful dual-core processor, a stunning 4.3in screen and smart NFC and media sharing capability make the Sony Xperia S one of the best Android devices currently available, besting the flagship Samsung Galaxy Nexus in most areas bar the lack of Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. If you want to stray over from the Apple camp and try the very best that Android has to offer, you couldn’t go far wrong with the Sony Xperia S."

Quote: "Could the Xperia S be your first Sony-branded phone? It you're all about media consumption, and if you're prepared to wait while Sony makes its cloud-based platforms more coherent, then the Xperia S is a great device. The display and the speaker are absorbing and addictive. The battery life is excellent, the processor is a good fit and the absence of expandable storage shouldn't weigh too heavily if you get the 32GB option."
