The Arc looks like a fantastic all around phone in that it has great clear/loud sound/with mega bass. I wonder if this phone is using the Wolfson chip.
Takes great pictures in low light/video is smooth/Hdmi mirroring. Very smooth UI and great colors on the screen.
It has a single core Qualcomm Scorpion MSM8255 processor. I realize its not a Dual Core phone but since they are just entering the market I would prefer to go with a single core 2nd generation phone.
I was thinking of getting the Samsung Galaxy S II but Samsung is still doing updates on the first Galaxy S and I don't trust them re updates.
Sony has stated that they did not handle updates for the X10 very well but promise to do a lot better with updates in regards to the Arc,I believe them.
Furthermore bigger isn;t always better.(Dual Core Vs Single Core)
In the end I want a phone that has clarity/volume in regards to phone calls/Great Camera/Good Video/can play games on it.
Would love to hear your opinions on the Arc Pro/Con.
how could you believe a thief when he tells you he won't steal anything anymore...

I'm looking for opinions on this phone not looking for stuff like you can never trust a thief.
Its not using wolfson chip.
The camera is about as good or maybe 5% better than the X10's. (check GSMArena photocompare)
The Bravia Engine works only with pictures or videos. Rest of the time its just like any other TFT LCD.
Internal memory is a measly 500 mb.
I personally don't think the Arc justifies its price tag, the Neo has everything the Arc has but at a much cheaper price.
Oh and like the X10, it will take months to crack the bootloader, so no custom ROMs.

apparently this is not the case. The hard lockdown on devices in the past has made it hard even for SE to upgrade the phones. The new phones are said to have a more open bootloader to make it easier to update
+1 for the Neo (how could SE have stuffed up and not given their flagship model a front facing camera.. but given the cheaper model the same fancy new screen and camera chip and also given it a Front camera!) are they really that stupid?
I'm going buy an HTC or Samsung next..and if not them a motorola.. after those choices.. I might consider a Neo
Kiwi
And so here I am on a brand new Arc. Had it for a day or so and must say it's been very smooth so far. My latest phone was an X10i so this is not terribly different...
Anyway, first impressions are very good. Great screen. Native Exchange integration is perfect (except I can't sort contacts by other than first name, believe this is an Android quirk). WiFi tethering was very smooth. DLNA was hitch-free. In-call sound quality is very good, I'd say better than the other Xperias I've had (apparently it has a little mic that takes up background noice to cancel it out, though I think I'll need to fly with a head-set to experience this properly). Why they've switched the "menu" and "back" buttons around I can't understand for the love of me, but maybe there's a reason...
Overall, with my short experience it's been great, so far. Certainly a phone I would recommend to any non-X10 user and probably to those that have X10s, as well.
Cheers for now/M

A video review from a guy at ESATO forums:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlIiD5he1S8
My thoughts...very nice design, good screen and very good camera, the bad? it lags too much.
oh wow, I just actually clicked on the video LOL I know that person personally since he's in Thailand. Like both him/I said, wait for the final firmware. That unit he has is still a very early prototype, no where near the final. Some of the hardware isn't even implemented yet, you can tell which . Cheers

look,when you talking about you don't trust sgs which is only 3 months younger than x10 and got 2.2 update almost the same time as x10 got 2.1, and knowing that SE announced x10 would never receive 2.2 but samsung never claim they won't provide further version, but then you said you trust in SE?
i don't think you need any oppinion at all.

Got to play the arc, neo and play last night, and I also saw the arc at CES. Its certainly improved since then, and huggee fast first time round.
One thing I noticed is that the widget overview is now smooth, no lag like before.
As for neo vs arc, there are lots of similarities, but when you pick the phones up the arc feels better, special somehow. The neo feels normal... Also the display is better on the arc.

There are Differences on Arc and Neo not just the Looks
Arc
>Clear Black Panel(No Air Gap, Great Sunlight Legibility, 20% more Brighter than Neo)
>Lightweight(117g) vs (126g)
>Slim Arc Body(8.7mm~10.5mm) vs (13mm)
>Screen Size 4.2" vs 3.7"
Neo
>Front Facing Camera
>Better Hardware Positions(Camera Sensor, Shutter Key)
You knew it would happen soon enough. SE to release a "Duo" Core Android device.

Wow, that looks sexy. Altough I know it isn't official I like it. I also hope that the 4.5 inch will go to 4.3 inch or lower. It's to big! Defintely my next phone. It something ''original'' instead of copied.
Top part does look like a HTC, whole thing looks fake.
What are the chances of Sony Ericsson using ST-Ericsson processors for their upcoming dual core phones? Apparently the U8500 and the NovaThor Processors are pretty powerful and very power efficient.
Looks ugly.
I have always hated how SE moved the 'XPERIA' wording from below the LCD screen (X10) to below the hardware buttons (Arc), it just doesn't look right.
The proportions of the 'Duo' look messed up.
intersdating...........
seems fake & ugly
anyway can't wait for SE to catch up

whoever design this, they better sent this design back to drawing board or facing the consequences of low sales for this phone
If this is to be x8 segment price I still can understand, but for dual core flagship smartphone, it made lg optimus 2x looks like a state of the art design.
I think the design is pretty good. I mean how many ways can you design a phone that's basically made up of entirely of a touch screen? There is a new pic going around with the Duo right next to the Arc that can be found at the bottom of this link:
http://www.brightsideofnews.com/new...-preps-a-dual-core-smartphone-xperia-duo.aspx
From the looks of things, it might still have an "arc" form factor.
Its looking pretty decent from the front wonder how the back looks and it seems to be solid from the pics im looking. I mean it could have been worse!
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I agree. We need to see the back of it to make the decision on whether or not it looks ugly. I'm hoping it doesn't follow the htc battery cover design choices....
Well many OEMs are going to release ( or refresh) new phones this summer and fall and the smartphone world moves super fast. Apple is going to release the 5s, HTC the HTC One max and HTC One mini ( rumor), Samsung the Galaxy Note 3, a new Nexus will be out and LG will probably release their LG optimus G 2. The Xperia Z is a nice phone but id love to see a refresh and not wait until next year for the successor of the XZ. What i'd like to see is:
- Same body, same waterproof
- Better speakers and better placement
- Better placement of the volume rocker
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC
- Better display ( with better viewing angles, perhaps an ips)
- 2500 mah battery
I believe if Sony releases something like this it would turn a lot of heads. The Xperia Z is a nice phone but lacks certain things that can really put it in the fore front of the smartphone world. What do you guys think?

sony probably did recognize the badly placed speakers on the Xperia Z.
there was a picture somewhere that shows the speaker placement on the Xperia Z Ultra at the bottom, like the iPhones.
There's no word on Honami's IP rating. It doesn't have flaps on the audio jack so it may not be water or dustproof.

How would it be water resistant without the flap then? Wouldn't that cause problems since the parts of the motherboard would be directly exposed to water/dust?
Its possible
The latest Galaxy S4 active has an exposed headphone jack and is still waterproof.

It is a flagship phone to say, and they may have been first by a few months, but that meant using a lesser processor to compete with. If they could stay ahead of the others while using the latest tech, it would be a great move. Seems like that is what they are trying to do now with the honami and togari.
on a side note, seems the camera race is getting big again in phones. That's a good thing, I would like to see our phones with larger sensors.
Hmmm... Isn't the ZR sort of like a refresh already?

Any idea when they releasing?
There probably won't be a XZ with SD800. They'll go for Honami and no one knows when it;ll be released, rumors are around September. I knew most of the stuff that Honami will have, but i still bought XZ. For me it's an almost perfect phone and it's the most beautiful one i've seen. The only downside are the viewing angles, but yea, who looks at the phone from the sides? Sony have released great updates, which fixed most of the software issues, like lag, camera quality, screen calibration, heat issues. And we have great roms, now even with leaked apps from Honami, including X-Reality, and they aren't that different.
The most important thing to ask yourself is Am I happy with XZ? My answer was Hell yea! so I bought it
Maybe, you mean, you r wating for one sony, which is known as Xperia il. It features SD800 and a G camera sensor.
But in my opinion, whatever S4pro or SD800, the performance is enough for daily using. And one thing you should notice that higher frequency of cpu makes the phone more hot when it is running under the high performance.
whatever time you buy a phone there will always be another that will come out later that will be better lol
personally I love the xz, better build quality than s4 and not constantly overheating like HTC one.

Glass cracks? Never heard to be caused by GPS or speaker. I am careful with the phone, no issues so far. But of course i've read people have problems, like dead pixels and bulge on the back glass near the camera. These are of course hardware faults, so the phone will be replaced. Every phone has some of those (not the same, just faults). I've read about the glass cracks too, and have no idea why it has happened, but as far as i know Nexus 4 had similar issues, because it has a glass back too. And Honami may have it too. It's better to get the phone from a safer store, i mean for the warranty. That's why i got mine from a Sony Center, it was a higher price, but i don't have to worry if anything happens.

Hi @eclyptos. I've been happy with Z1 since the day I bought. It may not be perfect but it is a big leap fir me coming from an Xperia acro S. I just wish that Sony could've waited at least IFA this year to release the successor of Z1 as the 6-month cycle makes the current flagship behind sooner (now I know the feeling of Z owners haha). Though I know and everyone knows that tine will come there will be new and greater ones coming. Again it's just my thought, I hope no one will react violently. And again my obly wish is to have at least most of the Sirius' features will be available on Z1 once it geta the 4.4 update.

I can't help but wonder, why do I have to pay about 500 Euro (contract free) for a flagship with a disappointing screen when I'll have to pay the same sum for a flagship with top-notch screen in a month or two... Viewing angles don't bother me as much as the yellow tint and the fact that White balance, although improving things, impacts the brightness and contrast in turn. And, what drives me mad, the user is supposed to (partially) fix something that shouldn't have got past Sony's quality control in first place. White balance should be used for fine adjustments according to each one's personal preference and not for fixing a faulty display altogether. So, after exchanging 5 Z1 devices, each one suffering from yellow tint to one degree or another (some of them even from dead or stuck pixels), in a blind hope of getting one of those "unicorn" units with a Z Ultra-alike display, I am finally throwing the towel. I'm glad I can still return the last Z1 I have gone for. It could have been an EPIC phone to cherish and remember but just because of the poor screen it isn't. It's a good, decent device but I can get that for half the money. I'll wait for Z2 or whatever its name will be, and if Sony provide the same "display lottery" disgusting experience with it, I'll go for another brand, as much as I don't want to.
So, you guessed right, I voted with "No" in this poll.
I was unhappy with the device, so i sold it and tried to find new phone.
but i could not find any other devices better than z1
so just bought it again and now i am happy knowing that the z1 is the best out there
I'm happy with my z1 for now and will stick with it for few years.

No not happy.
POOR DISPLAY QUALITY. Washed colors. And terrifying viewing angels.
POOR PHOTO QUALITY. Like someone old 1mpx photo camera

Display was improved with the implementation of Withe Balance on .136, did you try it?
I got a lot of improvement in Pictures, specially in Low light, after update to .136 too.
BTW, sorry to hear that.

Friendly? i don't know..
Open? Until Z1 will live .
Happy with:
- Picture quality in good lighting conditions
- Build quality
- Design
- Light and useful UI
- Expandable memory
- They put the charging pins to not have to keep opening the flap
Not happy with:
- ASF (for the Love of God, Sony, just put a highly scratch resistant tempered glass that's more scratch resistant than the glass under the ASF)
- LED flash when using it as a flashlight - it's very weak
- Allowing T-Mobile US to lock the bootloader
- No brightness slider in the notification drop-down or (not allowing more quick settings to be used)
nope. its still with the f**ken service centre.
I really miss it
