Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc : Full Review with Video
One of the most beautiful Android devices in the market yet, The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc proves that not all Android Devices need to be dull and boring. The Arc is a show stopper, and it certainly impressed us on another level.
Let start with the usual line up.
BUILD QUALITY and HARDWARE
The Xperia Arc has a deceiving structure, the device looks like a plastic toy initially, but is extremely well built and once you hold the device in your hand you will never make the same mistake again. It has a great design which tapers out in the center and broadens out to the side.Contrary to what most critics are saying the device is extremely comfortable to hold in the hand and fits comfortably when gripping the device during those in game driving scenes.
The Xperia Arc also packs a brilliant bit of hardware in terms of specs. Check them out :
Specifications of Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Frequency Quad band Phone Style Touchscreen OS Android 2.3 Thickness 8.7mm Length 125mm Width 63mm Weight 117g Built-in Memory 512MB Additional Memory MicroSD up to 32GB High-speed Data HSDPA Connectivity GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Screen Size 4.2-inch, 480×854 pixels Secondary Screen Size N/A Screen Colours 16 million colours Camera Yes Camera Resolution 8-megapixel Flash Yes Ringtones Yes Music Player Yes Music Formats MP3/eAAC+/WMA/WAV Radio Yes Speaker Yes Internet Yes Browser WAP Games Yes Processor Qualcomm MSM8250 Snapdragon 1 GHz processor Battery 1500mAh Price :Rs. 27,500
CAMERA and MULTIMEDIA
The camera on the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc has an 8 MegaPixel Sony Exmor-R Sensor. It is just something you will love to – well, LOVE. The camera is absolutely brilliant, and comes close to a perfect replacement for a day use digital camera. The camera is extremely sensitive to light and will pick up the slightest detail in the image. The device also has 720p recording capability which when combined with onboard image stabilization methods provides a decent set of tools for video capture.We were however, disappointed with the lack of quality and depth in the video captured by the Arc. while it looks absolutely stunning on the Device , video playback on a big screen looks washed out to say the least.
The Arc also provided the best movie/video experience we have had with an Android Device. The Display simply cannot be praised enough, the colors are deep and the resolution combined with the all new Bravia Engine for Mobile phones makes the video quality just Superb. We have not seen better quality on a Phone display period.
Sound quality, video playback and Audio/Video streaming work flawlessly and deliver a promising multimedia experience. The placement of the onboard loudspeaker is at an akward position and when you are holding the device in landscape, you will find yourself covering he speaker with your finger. The results of which can be devastating for the volume levels.
Check out the Video Capture Sample
PHONE and MESSAGING
The device is exceptionally good at doing what its meant to , the voice clarity is -bang on- at both ends, and network performance is sustained. The device is really good and pocket-able and simple to use, the phone dialer is fast and has large keys, the contacts and messaging screens are easy to navigate and simple to use.The keyboard on the device is also, possibly the best stock keyboard we have used, clean large-square button layout increases the accuracy of your typing capabilities many-a-fold. The keyboard is quick as is the touchscreen responsive, creating one of the best touch input interfaces. You will actually enjoy typing on this keyboard, so text away!
BATTERY
Usage life on the Xperia Arc was erratic. Sometimes lasting a full day without a recharge, and sometimes asking for juice every 5-6 hours. The battery life tests revealed a lot more info :-
- 2G Talk Time : 4.5-6 Hours
- 3G Talk Time : 3.5 Hours
- 3G Browsing : 4 Hours
- Wifi Browsing : 5-6 Hours
- Video Playback : BE : 4.5 Hours / Without BE : 6 Hours
- Audio Playback : Screen Off : 14 Hours (approx)
USER INTERFACE
The device runs Android 2.3 with a custom time-scape UI on top. The UI is simply beautiful and is like a melodious song that has no ending. The UI is the most innovative form of developer work seen on a stock device since the HTC Sense. The use of new widgets with the clean interface and the customizable App Drawer/ Full Menu make the device User Experience a wonderful one.
CONCLUSION
The device is good to look at and comes with Android 2.3 from the get go. The camera is good at taking pictures but, just average at video quality. The build is solid and the display like we said earlier has no parallel comparison. The device attempts at fulfilling the purpose of the average user and taking to task the pro user. We found no reason to root the device as we were happy with both performance as well as the UI (our major reasons for rooting). Although a new tool for the boot-loader unlock is now available and the full root for the device will come out sooner than we expected.
The device comes with a free leather cover and a free screen protector, which are excellent freebies.
There were a few negative aspects to the device and we will list them for easy access
- The device gets overheated with prolonged use, does not affect usage but gets too hot to hold against the face.
- The device also has unsteady HSDPA connection which breaks quite frequently
- The battery is erratic and drains faster when the device is hot (see first)

Live from the Samsung Forum 2011 : Samsung’s New Lineup of Full HD and 3D monitors : Eyes On
We are live at the Samsung Forum 2011, and we are looking at some interesting things including the latest monitors from Samsung, including the latest monitors from Samsung (SA 750, TA 350, CA 750, CA 550, UD Series).
Check out the Pictures and details below, with a quick video of them coming shortly.
SA 750Samsung’s Full HD 3D LED Monitor Series 7 monitors—available in 23- and 27-inch configurations—offer full HD 1920×1080 resolution and hyper-realistic 3D playback on a wide variety of 3D content, including 3D video games, 3D movies, and user-created 3D content like photos and videos. The SA 750 can also automatically analyze and render 2D content in real-time to stunning 3D, supporting not only PC content, but also content from Blu-ray players, gaming consoles and set-top boxes.
The monitors enable cleaner, flicker-free textures for fast-moving games in the 120Hz mode, delivering a comfortable 3D viewing experience without any interruption. The SA 750 also boasts blazing fast response time (2 ms) for an optimal gaming and movie viewing experience, without ghosting or streaking.
Adding appeal to eco-conscious users, Samsung’s SA 750 features an Eco Light Sensor that saves energy and creates a comfortable viewing environment by automatically adjusting the brightness of the screen based on ambient light, while the Eco Motion Sensor contributes to ease of use and lower energy consumption by automatically turning the display on or off when a user is within, or has left, the vicinity of the monitor.
The SA 750 is a sophisticated design product featuring a narrow bezel, compact, cylindrical stand with glowing buttons and UltraSlim depth, the slimmest in the world.
T22A350
The TA 3 Series includes a 21.5-inch LED monitor that offers full HD 1920×1080 resolution and a brightness of 250cd. The TA 3 Series can receive TV broadcast signals through a built-in tuner.
The system has ConnectShareTM features that allow people to enjoy digital contents from USB memory stick and supports Dolby Digital DTS 2.0.
CA 750 and CA 550Like a docking station, Samsung’s Central Station Series 7 and 5 monitors serve as hubs that easily connect a user’s laptop to a range of other devices without the hassle of plugging and unplugging multiple cables every time. After the initial setup, when the user connects LAN and audio cables to the Central Station monitor, the system is primed for instant use the next time the user is ready to connect; all the user has to do is link his or her laptop to the Central Station using a single USB connection. Exclusive to the CA 750 is an auto wireless detection option, which can free users from the restriction of wires by automatically finding and connecting with a user’s laptop.
The CA 750 and CA 550 Series also create a better, more comfortable viewing experience by instantly transforming a small laptop screen to a 23- or 27-inch screen with LED backlight and superior picture quality. The monitor offers full HD 1920×1080 resolution and blazing fast response time (2 ms) to prevent ghosting or streaking. Samsung’s Mega DCR technology boosts the contrast level to more than a million to one, showing life-like depth and vivid color on any multimedia content. Additionally, the CA 750 and CA 550’s ergonomicdual-hinge design can change the height or tilt of the screen with ease. The Auto Configuration feature automatically adjusts the screen resolution between the user’s laptop and Central Station monitor when the two are connected via USB.
Among the many input and output options offered by the Central Station, the CA 750 and CA 550 support USB 3.0 technology, which enables users to transfer data 10 times faster than by USB 2.0, and to charge mobile devices twice as fast as by conventional electric charging. Despite this power, the system has earned both Energy Star and EPEAT Gold ratings by helping users save energy. Additionally, Central Station automatically powers on or off when a laptop is connected or disconnected. The system’s Eco Saving mode enables users to choose the energy consumption level from three options: 0 percent, 25 percent and 50 percent down—meaning users can save on the system’s energy costs by up to 50 percent.
UD SeriesFeaturing ultra-thin bezels, the 55” UD Series of Large Format Display (LFD) units measure only 5.3mm from bezel to bezel, dramatically reducing the distance between the parts of the image and enabling companies to create seamless and effective video wall solutions at any budget. The UD55A delivers 700 Nits of brightness with 1920×1080 resolution. Maintaining Samsung’s signature pristine picture quality, the UD55A includes two intelligent features that ensure the best picture is always displayed: Automatic Color Calibration automatically adjusts the White Balance on video walls; while a detachable Ambient Brightness sensor automatically adjusts the on-screen brightness in conjunction with the ambient light level of the area surrounding the display.
Providing full connectivity options, the UD55A includes one D-SUB, one DVI and two HDMI ports, in addition to a DVI-out interface, which enables the seamless sharing of content among up to 100 monitors. The UD55A also features a built-in network PC running Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2009, along with Samsung’s exclusive MagicInfoTM software, for effortless content management over a network. Additionally, the RJ45 interface, included with the monitor, provides users with long distance remote control abilities via LAN.

Samsung Galaxy Ace Full Review – Video, Pictures and Video Review
We have had this device for quite some time, and we are now ready to tell you how this device fares in the market.
Lets start with the usual suspects
BUILD QUALITY and HARDWARE
The Galaxy Ace is possibly the best built Samsung Galaxy phone in India, till date. We feel, that the device is better built than the Galaxy S /Sl and all the lower end Galaxys put together (3,5, pop, etc). The back panel of the Galaxy Ace is the best texture we have seen on any device and the chrome metal side bezel squares off the phones looks with the likes of the iPhone 4. Solid and rigid, beautiful glass front and great styling.In terms of Hardware the device features a whole bunch of interesting specs including a 320 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches Capacitive touch screen which is very-very responsive. A snappy 800 MHz ARM 11 processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset which is quite capable of handling the phones processing and delivers good gaming and graphic performance. A 1350 mAh which despite its size fared out well.
The device is missing the standard Android search button like the FIT and the POP.
Quadrant Score : 595
DISPLAY and MULTIMEDIA
Although 320 x 480 is no Retina display and is nowhere near high resolution, the display is simply stunning and the less pixel count is actually no problem, the text is clear and vivid the 16m color resolution does the display justice and in this price bracket, delivers a whole lot more than one can expect. The touch screen is also super smooth and performs excellently. Kinetic scrolling and pinch to zoom in and out, all of which are displayed in the video review, work great.The sound quality from the loudspeaker is not as great as the sound volume. You can really blast the audio from the speaker. The speakers are great if the volume is moderately controlled.
The bass is well matched along with mids, but, start to clip at high volumes and you are left with a squeaking sound. This will also only happen on audio files which are tweaked to sound louder, regular music plays fine. Video quality is excellent, with a tiny bit of shuttering when the video clip loads, everything after that is as smooth as butter.
Video looks good and there is no denying the fact that every Android user will watch atleast a video per week on his phone, and you will love it on the Samsung Galaxy Ace.
CAMERA
The Device is missing a dedicated camera shutter button! Why Samsung? why is it so difficult?The camera is a performance star, the auto focus is good and the light density on the sensor is excellent. Low light compositions are pretty decent, not as great as they could have been if Samsung had placed the flash a little further away from the camera, a surge of white crosses the camera , and the pictures come out faded when the led is on. When its offa low light compositions look passable. So either way the pictures are average in low light, Impressive in daylight / Apt lighting.
Video however is poor and HD video is missing from the whole circuit. 320×240 (QVGA) (20 fps) video is just as bad as the numbers look, and we are sorry to say you will not be making any videos with the camera. We also tried several other Camera apps from the Android marketplace, but to no avail video quality was poor throughout. we will soon have a sample video up.
PHONE, MESSAGING and BATTERY
The Samsung Galaxy Ace handles Cellular networks beautifully and with 3G connectivity we got good download speeds up to 2.5Mbps (network constrained) in prime areas of Delhi. No relative call drops , actually one in about 3 weeks of testing. The call quality was superb, a whole lot more than we expected this device to deliver. Earpiece and mic are well balanced and perform brilliantly.
Messaging is fast with the built in Swype Keyboard, If you don’t like it well you can download literally a dozen other keyboards from the marketplace and test them. Choose the one you like and keep it. The key factor however here lies in the touch sensitivity of the screen. The accuracy with which the device handles touch inputs is far superior than the likes of HTC wildfire and Dell XCD 35. But, those are last gen phones anyway. Keyboard performance is excellent mainly because of the touchscreen.
Battery life on the Galaxy Ace was also shocking, with tweaked performance the device gives about
- 4 Hours Talk time 3G
- 5.5 Hours on 2G
- Audio Playback (screen off) 12 hours
- Video Streaming – 2 hours
- Video Playback (offline) 4 Hours
- Internet Wifi/3G 4-5 Hours
Conclusion
With the market flooded with Android devices we are yet to see a device in the 15k bracket that will live up to our expectations. But, then again our expectations are ever increasing and the market always fails to deliver. The Samsung Galaxy Ace however comes pretty close, and then falls back. The lack of a simple dedicated camera button, no HD video, a missing dedicated search button are simple things that could have been included.
Price : INR 15, 499/-
In an ideal scenario this device would have all the above and a bit more juice.
