    i agree.. the plastic on new xperia phones feel amazing.. the newer samsungs have a less premium feel but they dont feel that cheap

  • @black0knightcs
    @black0knightcs 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    WOOOOW WOOOW WOOOW, hold it Jaime, that plastic is not cheap search a litlle bit around and you will find a state of the art nano technology has been used in the coverin, that makes the cover on the back resistant to any kind of stains. You can litreally write on it then erase it and it will be as good as new!

    well, kinda agree with you.i dropped my xperia ray about 7 times and it still works like nothing bad happened.

  • @firdausHITMAN
    @firdausHITMAN 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Black is better. White looks good when its new but after everyday use and with time it fades and can turn yellowish but black stays black, so you made the right colour choice.

    The Xperia S unlocked is £300 (you heard right) on the clovetechnology website, search on Google clove and go to the first link. You'll find it there. It's a reliable online shop so it's not like it's a scam or something. You can also see CloveTechnology's review of the Xperia S on youtube.

    Very cool of them to include the screen protector, but would've been better if it was applied from the factory. Like some of Nokia's phones have.

    Yeah Sony's stepping their game up! But Samsung and HTC are also making great phones so it will be interesting to see if they've stepped up enough for people to choose them.

    it's an awesome phone.. only if it were released 5-6 months ago.. the quad core era has started and now Sony is releasing its first Dual Core.. if i were to buy this phone, i would only buy it for its sexy design, its camera, and its awesome screen.

  • @fakeaccount663

    The Xperia Play is anything but Flimsy.
    Btw. The Xperia S has nano plastic coating which is meant to repel stains including finger prints.

  • @TrueAviationPassion
    @TrueAviationPassion 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely the Xperia S. There's no doubt the Note is better, faster, smoother, BUT despite having a beautiful HD Super AMOLED display, the size is a major issue. The Note is not a phone for everyday use, it just doesn't work that way.

  • @Hermes_VVVIP
    @Hermes_VVVIP 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @CityFlashLights exactly, once all the phones are upgraded to ICS, these software changes will happen, right now, Xperia S is till running on a different UI 2.3, nothing needs to be changed here, SONY already thought about everything, the current ICS design is exactly what SONY has been using, one reason why Google begged SONY to make a Nexus phone, cuz they realized SONY was thinking a head of time and truly understand logical design

    600 euros??? I preordered mine for 500. You do get the entire package as in some countries you don't get an hdmi cable nor any smart tags or a screen protector.

    @Hermes_VVVIP 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Ivanprskalo that's exactly why I'm going to get S over P, well other reasons such like screen size, camera... but also, regardless how nice the P looks in silver, you know it would be a mess when a few scratches.
    ;like i said earlier, this guy is an iSheep, so there is your answer.

    @CityFlashLights nope, ICS will be upgraded later March and no later than May. yeah Google did beg, well not on their knees beg of course, but u know what i meant, Google wanted SONY to make all their hardware, TV, phones, but SONY didn't have a very good run with the Google TV and SONY had other more important things to worry about than making a phone for Google, so in the end, Google was very disappointed and had to pick a company, they chose Samsung

  • @2010GRABOWSKI
    @2010GRABOWSKI 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    i hope someone doesnt see this video who doesnt know about sony/sony ericsson as you have no knowledge at all, cheap plastic is thick and brittle, the more you pay for thin plastic the more flexability you get, also you have no right to tell ppl if the phone is worth buying or not, it is up to each person and the see through bit at the bottom is the antena, instead of puttin it in a crap place like the iphone, they put it at the bottom, so far your video has not done justice for sony ericsson!

  • @helloooooowwful
    @helloooooowwful 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @JJeffreyV Yes, you are correct with that excample but you did you know that they use a foil to do that and there is clearly no foil on the bottom part of the gorgeous xperia S. But after all you are right and i should have thought of that. After all my uncle has a car with that sort of windows.

    I don't know what's up with him saying the plastic is very cheap and all that. The plastic isnt too different than other android devices and the XPERIA S definitely doesn't seem cheap. Oh and BTW the Xperia Play is an excellent phone for the price and isn't flimsy. I guess you're just too used to crack prone iphones you cant even hold an android device. This is hands down superior to the 4s so stop trying to make excuses about hardware buttons "cheap" plastic. Because your glass iphone breaks
