It was my first smartphone. I was so excited when I got it in the mail. This video brings such sweet memories 😊 Recently , I switched from Note 10 + to IPhone 14 Pro Max
Watching this in 2022 lol. Just having a spring clean and found my Arc S, my Ray and Z1 Compact (without a screen). The Arc S was my first android device and loved it and had Xperias ever since. Theming android was so much easier back then :)
I have this phone and it has, by far, been the best phone i have ever had!! I highly recomend this phone, even though it isnt as amazing as the iphones or other better phones, it still is a very attractive and affordable phone!! Its great!!
I was told Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S would no longer be in stock cuz this is the final one for the Sony Ericsson company. Thank god I did not sell mine.
Commenting via experia arc :] seriously this phone is amazing people iv had it for 2 months and still finding new things to do, very thin and stylish bright screen it makes a blackberry look like a post 50s dile phone, if you get one expect compliments.
You are in exactly the same situation as me. I had an HTC Desire HD and am planning to get a One X successor at the end of this year so i ended up using the ARC S as a temporary backup phone while i sold my DHD. The timescape UI can never be compared to sense in terms of looks, animations and seamless linking the Sense 3.0+UI has...but that said, the arc S is definitely a much better looker externally than DHD
@XclusiveAaron I think the sony UX interface shell is the thing that DOES make it look elegant just like on the other xperia's neet and nice elegant graphics such as the liquified icons when you drag them.
@CoSaBaZy I was faced with the same question. Eventually I went with the SE ARC S. It's slightly smaller, more comfortable to hold and is cheaper by about €100. It's also arguably more directed towards video/photo functionality with the physical camera button and panoramic shots and has a better music player, two things I was definitely looking for.
@moonlight0123456 actually I'm almost positive theres a front and back camera. I know you can use the front for some sort of video calls. Not sure if you can take pictures, but i know its a camera.
@DuudeWhatDoesMineSay there is no "look" to android. u can customize it and make it look like whatever you want. the arc uses a sony skin so it looks like that.
S-TFT-LCD is not most advanced LCD. it was developed by samsung back in 2004. (its tech i meant). most advanced LCD is AH-IPS-LCD. anyway. sony could use s-lcd cuz they co joint with samsung (what Sony used to use was called L-LCD), AUO also produce slcd cuz they cross licensed with samsung. sharp too cuz they co joint with sony.
@blinblinthing I don't see any Windows Phones lag though, they all ran extremely smooth... On Android only some handsets remain smooth. On iPhone... there are occasional lags, but not much.
Ik heb onlangs een black-blue besteld, hoewel een groot deel van mijn vriendengroep de iphone blijft aanprijzen. Ik heb zelf recent een ipod touch aangeschaft, dat is leuk, maar die extra's van de Arc s, met bijvoorbeeld die bravia engine, die super camera en timescape vind ik toch een meerwaarde hebben over de degelijkheid van ipod/phone
arc s because it alreadu has an ICS update while among all the SE phones released last year, the only phone that wont get an ICS update would be xperia PLAY. :))
@FeatEM sony doesnt even have own OS. y try to argue on bada?? xperia arc is android phone, so is galaxy phones. they use their own custom UI, like blurr, sense, touchwiz, xperia.
@Juliaker Hoi, ik heb de telefoon bij the phone house besteld. Ze liggen nu ook in de winkel. Ze worden momenteel alleen nog maar simlock vrij aangeboden, dus je hebt ruime keus uit abbonomenten je erbij wilt hebben. Alleen winkels vinden is lastiger, dus: phonehouse!
@FeatEM true dat. hopefully they keep coming out with these beautiful phones. its just what Android needs, because I may not support it, but our world is basically moved by image. or how would apple and beats be selling so well?
The place of the audio jack on the left side (not on top or bottom) is odd, especially at this size of a phone. Somebody who use this phone please tell me how you manage this "problem" when listening music with the phone in your pocket?
Hey guys, I just bought the phone but I have a problem with connecting to the WIFI it is connected it has signal but it is unable to do any browsing, or open the market or what ever. Do you have this problem the phone is brand new bought from an authorised dealer.
im mainly a HTC user. the reason behind that is the sense UI, which is simply beautiful... does anyone know if i would be disapointed if i get this one? i currently own a Desire HD, but i kinda want to breath fresh air and get a new brand for a change. I may buy this and give as a gift to my wife, but i just wanna know if the UI will live up to HTC sense, since my wife likes sense as well. so, any HTC users around to give me a hint?
2 years ago when Samsung was coming up I always said, "If Sony wants to catch up, they need to stop letting Ericsson make phones for them". And now Sony is independent. Let the Phone War begin! Sony is coming back Bi@#$es!!!
The best deal ive found is 18 months 28pound 300 minutes unlim texts 750 mb internet but its the white one i cant seem to find the black one anywhere any help>?
Hello people! Here's the story: I fell into the lake with arc s in my pocket, i didn't make it dry and put it to charge right away. Somehow it didn't turn on anymore. What may be the problem?
It's supposed to be an International Review so that anyone can watch it not wondering what the heck is that guy saying. As i just hate when i come across a good review of some gadget i like to check out, and as it turns out it's in french. I don't have any problems with other languages as my native is not english but if you're gonna do a review, at least respect other nationalities by assuming they too know english or you do this brilliant idea. Everyone understands what has been shown.
It was my first smartphone. I was so excited when I got it in the mail. This video brings such sweet memories 😊
Recently , I switched from Note 10 + to IPhone 14 Pro Max
one of the best looking smartphone ever imo
Nostalgia
My first ever smartphone. Will never forget the excitement I had when I opened it.
Definately got to be the best looking phone I've seen in a while, very classy and sleek design
This is better value for money than the most of the higher end phones. And that's why I get mine tomorrow.
Watching this in 2022 lol. Just having a spring clean and found my Arc S, my Ray and Z1 Compact (without a screen). The Arc S was my first android device and loved it and had Xperias ever since. Theming android was so much easier back then :)
I miss Sony Ericsson... :-(
The best fone i ever had, very classy at that time.
I want a phone with this design from Sony in 2019!
I have this phone and it has, by far, been the best phone i have ever had!! I highly recomend this phone, even though it isnt as amazing as the iphones or other better phones, it still is a very attractive and affordable phone!! Its great!!
Yeah. I'm trying to decide between the white or the black version. I'm about to buy one n.n
I was told Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S would no longer be in stock cuz this is the final one for the Sony Ericsson company. Thank god I did not sell mine.
benjamin tham they are in sale on AliExpress.com
$ 50 I guess
My first smartphone... Still miss this mobile

Loved using it very much…
Best headphone ever imo. I remember good old day with this
This phone was ahead of its time
I used to have the arc in 2012.. miss it so bad
Same, hade one from 2011 through 2012, it got stolen afterwards.
@@akaz.096 mine broke, then I got xperia ZL as a replacement then it got stolen xD
In my opinion, when it comes to UI, HTC and Sony really shine.
Great looks..... Still a beast today looks wise
i miss it man such a lovely phone dude
Can you switch the camera to take selfies
@CoSaBaZy I was faced with the same question. Eventually I went with the SE ARC S. It's slightly smaller, more comfortable to hold and is cheaper by about €100.

@johndalesingko05 the normal xperia arc has a 1ghz procesor, and the arc S has a 1.4ghz procesor
This was my first smartphone ❤
@DuudeWhatDoesMineSay there is no "look" to android. u can customize it and make it look like whatever you want. the arc uses a sony skin so it looks like that.
this video taught me how to open back piece so i can insert battery :)

@blinblinthing I don't see any Windows Phones lag though, they all ran extremely smooth...
On Android only some handsets remain smooth.
On iPhone... there are occasional lags, but not much.
have this phone its awesome, call quality pictures and ics 4.0.4 make it superb
This device is futuristic!
@blinblinthing nope. useing the HD7 for half a year now and it never lagged.
Blackberry, Sony ericson, Legend 🥰
@TheStoffe15 both have good hardware.. just go with the OS u like.. i have an iPhone4 i love it but this phone looks promising too
@togeh789 it has 500mb of built in phone memory (i think) plus it comes with 8gb memory card in the box
that's deadly
.
.
i must buy it
AMAZING! I love this video. Bit better than PhoneArena
@Xro306 arc only has 2 colors, silver and dark blue. arc s has white, black, dark blue, and pink.
I hav to admit, after having the galaxy s2, i still think this phone has a sexier and sleek design than the galaxy s2
I really like the design of the arc. Too bad Android doesn't look as good. Can't wait for Nokia Sea Ray
Sony should launch the same designed phone now in 2020....such a uber cool design
@MsSkillas gsmarena are endorsed by most of the cellphone companies .. they dont need to buy anything
My Sony Ericsson Lt18i is a pink colour limited edition.
Ik heb onlangs een black-blue besteld, hoewel een groot deel van mijn vriendengroep de iphone blijft aanprijzen. Ik heb zelf recent een ipod touch aangeschaft, dat is leuk, maar die extra's van de Arc s, met bijvoorbeeld die bravia engine, die super camera en timescape vind ik toch een meerwaarde hebben over de degelijkheid van ipod/phone
perfect...
i wanna know the widget in 1:56 to 1:59 comes with the phone software or needs to be installed ????
@haloavenger the Samsung Focus S glabbed my attention. but not the s2
Finally got MANDARK's number after 12 yrs of wait! :) :P
DAMN that is phone is so EPIC FAST!!!
My X10i can't do that, but im using custom ROMs to make it faster.
The one that I can find online is RM1276.
arc s because it alreadu has an ICS update while among all the SE phones released last year, the only phone that wont get an ICS update would be xperia PLAY. :))
Where'd you buy the phone ?
@FeatEM sony doesnt even have own OS. y try to argue on bada?? xperia arc is android phone, so is galaxy phones. they use their own custom UI, like blurr, sense, touchwiz, xperia.
Watching this until now 2021
@WakateruYO I don't think they want to make phones under 4.3 " anymore.
thumbs up for steady hand
it's sharp. Want it!
I dont really know. Probably for something for an improved version.
@rainedFond I saw a web site where the white version was cheaper than the other two xD
wow that's an amazing phone! :)
I prefer xperia arc s my friend! It has got a larger screen and it's more beautiful than the xperia p!
*are you from cyprus/greece?
@Juliaker Hoi, ik heb de telefoon bij the phone house besteld. Ze liggen nu ook in de winkel. Ze worden momenteel alleen nog maar simlock vrij aangeboden, dus je hebt ruime keus uit abbonomenten je erbij wilt hebben. Alleen winkels vinden is lastiger, dus: phonehouse!
Is so nice i will get it soon
this phone luks soo much better than my sgs2..
And how much is an HTC sensation xe in Malaysia please?
@Abirxtreme0001 what pole?
The only thing that beats the S2 right now is the Galaxy Note and perhaps when we get benchmarks the Nexus Prime.
omg only 2 days and its mine! ^^
i love this phone .............
i love the intro music lol
All the widgets you see come with the software.
@FeatEM true dat. hopefully they keep coming out with these beautiful phones. its just what Android needs, because I may not support it, but our world is basically moved by image. or how would apple and beats be selling so well?
of course
no wait for the lg optimus 4x
The place of the audio jack on the left side (not on top or bottom) is odd, especially at this size of a phone. Somebody who use this phone please tell me how you manage this "problem" when listening music with the phone in your pocket?
Please Sony can you bring this Timescape UI back. Please!!
@pmvs1000 spectacular!
my xperia arc s got free bluetooth headset,hdmi cable,screen protector,car charger,but the leather bag dont have

Thumbs up if love sony's new xperia range!

Hey guys,
I just bought the phone but I have a problem with connecting to the WIFI it is connected it has signal but it is unable to do any browsing, or open the market or what ever. Do you have this problem the phone is brand new bought from an authorised dealer.
Haw can i get one??
My father want to switch from the Galaxy S to this one because of the screen, which is a little bit bigger, is it worth the upgrade?
@moonlight0123456 No front facing camera.. Just the back camera...
Why the companies are not putting front camera in most of their great cellphones, For example Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S.
Hairy arms
great video and great phone :D
im mainly a HTC user. the reason behind that is the sense UI, which is simply beautiful... does anyone know if i would be disapointed if i get this one? i currently own a Desire HD, but i kinda want to breath fresh air and get a new brand for a change.

Hello people! Here's the story: I fell into the lake with arc s in my pocket, i didn't make it dry and put it to charge right away. Somehow it didn't turn on anymore. What may be the problem?
hey man,can anyone explain to me how to differentiate between arc and arc s by the look??
