Lucky for some I can't afford a new device every year so this is great news for me, at least it is definitely coming to the Arc. Can't complain

Such a sad news..
Sent from my Anzu using xda premium

It does say all the Xperia 2011 handsets will be updated by march so it could be sooner for some devices/countries etc

that's fine. as long as it isn't buggy and they fix the camera compression.

they dnt need to "fix" the camera compresion cause that is not an error, i like it, is a good compression, same quality as the iphone 4s photos but but in a really light weight

They need to give users a choice of compression/quality settings. Just because youre happy with the current quality doesnt mean everyone else is.

You've missed a key point in the wording "BY"
that means that ALL XPERIA phones well get it BY march.
Sooooo Arc may get before then. And other handsets like Ray, Pro AND Active may get during march.
Just my interpretation.

March would fall in line with the new 2012 range hitting the market, the arc HD or whatever it will be called will most likely be announced at CES in January, and out in March, assuming that runs ICS, then they'll roll out the same version to the 2011 range around the same time.

Someone said in Samsung Galaxy S2 thread that Ica Cream coming to S2 in Q2 2012.. So by March for Xperia is not bad

Remember after SE finishes their work it takes another 1-3 months for the carrier to brand/bloat it and release to end users.

Are you serious, mate? The Arc produces some really mediocre photos. And the video recording is average at best, too. There has to be a compression fix, but Sony just don't seem to be interested in it.

With that being the Nozomi or the LT28i? Surely it'll have a new ui which we can port to our own devices

looks like nozomi!
but looks like x10 too

This is exciting i just got the S2 for my bro and found that the Arc's performance is no way near to S2's performance - i credit TouchWiz - something i feel SE should definitely improve upon

SE is definitely ready to show us something new, maybe another Xperia which suffers from cracks on plastics? Or previous year's hardware..? We will all find out soon!

Yep. Xperias are so bad, tested it @ o2, deleted all widgets from the stock launcher and it was still laggy ;D (Xperia S), and the HW buttonz are so bad. Nthxbye

Nothing new. All it is, is just a slightly upgraded version of the Xperia S.
I love my PLAY by the way ( ha it rhymes )

Might consider Sony's next flag ship (GX, Haysbusa?) since I want a Snapdragon S4

Is there a FTF file for the Xperia SL? I might wanna try flashing it on my Xperia S

Xperia SL
Got my SL couple of days ago. I had Galaxy SII earlier. Although, SII is a beast but this isn't a bad deal at all. Great phone, Superb Excellent display.... It rocks....
Couple of things which I didnt like are :
1. The buttons are not responsive. Sometimes you have to click 2 - 3 times to get it work. But I got a trick that instead of pressing the button, just swipe it downwards and it works like a charm.
2. The usb connector is on left side which is sometimes very awkward. Should have been at botton like GSII.
Rest all is cool....

It is still a sexy A$$ phone! I saw this phone a month ago & I still like/want it.

CM10 run perfect and the hdmi out is good?

This device is still using the Qualcomm S3, which is a cpu from carrier locked SII, its hopelessly underpowered regardless of clockspeed. It'll have trouble with newest 3D games and some HD movies. The Galaxy Nexus OMAP and SII Exynos 1.2Ghz are faster. And this thing is still running ICS which is not acceptable being released today.
One thing Sony need to do for people to buy their phone is keep up with the hardware and software technology.

Yea, it seems to be a Sony Mobile trend to release outdated stuff. I guess they rely too much on their "Sony" reputation, and not enough on actual quality. Shame, they could do so much better.

the phone is already old.
you are not forced to buy it, so why is it a shame?
let them do what they want!

We can definitely take apps from this phone if they don't have XHDPI and XXHDPI drawables in them. The XZ apps are so big because of the bigger resolution images. Hopefully Sony won't also tone down the UI to make it like a low-end phone.

Looks nice, although an aluminium frame sounds like a really bad idea...

If the camera spec is real then I'd think: Why would they go back to an older sensor?? Unless the 13.1mpx sensor that's in our XZ isn't good enough...

If it's using an Exmor RS sensor, then that's not old at all but the absolute latest and greatest from Sony. It's just that it'll use an 8MP version vs. the 13MP version on the Z and ZL.

Maybe among the phones released last year only: Nexus 4, LG Optimus G and HTC Butterfly (and their variants) have better specs (SoC) than Xperia SP.
BTW, according to the white paper, SP uses Corning Gorilla glass without a shater-proof sheet..
And Xperia L seems to use glass made by SCHOTT, again no mention of a shatter-proof sheet.
Does this mean no more pre-installed shatter-proof sheets by Sony Mobile?

Great mid-range phone.
Seems like a great mid-range phone to me. Of course everything seem better in their adds but I was honestly positively surprised when I saw it.
Having doubts though about the functionality an smoothness of the phone. I've been using Sony XPERIA S and with a 1.5 GHZ Dual-Core processor and 1 GB of RAM it was quite laggy even when using their built-in APPS like Walkman. At times it would stutter and force close even when other APPS were closed. Since Sony got rid of Ericsson I've become a huge Sony fan especially with their latest release the XPERIA Z. Their designs are formidable in my opinion and I guess many people will agree with me. The translucent bar in the S and the SP is something notable, probably a battery drainer but non the less a nice add to create something different, elegant and "sexy".
I'm very pleased to see another, newer device of Sony with this translucent bar. It'd be a nice second phone to keep with me just in case something happens with my future XPERIA Z or HTC ONE!
YES, definitely not going to buy the S4, design disappoints me and am genuinely sick of Samsung using cheap materials. Specs? Thumbs up Samsung!
