;DETLIKE; Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc - why we like it
  • One of the slimmest smartphones around at 8.7mm
  • Low-light enhancer for better HD video recording
  • Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) operating system
  • A true marvel of smartphone technology
;DETOVER;

Prepare yourself for the perfectly-shaped 3 Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc! With a fantastic camera plus the latest Android on board, this great-looking mobile is bound to turn heads as well as impress when it comes to tech specs.

Without doubt, the Xperia Arc is a looker! Taking design cues from its predecessor the Xperia X10, the Xperia Arc makes its outline even smoother. Its curvaceous body still sports the attractive chrome buttons of the X10, but squeezes itself into a record-breakingly thin chassis a mere 8.7mm in width.

Sony-Ericsson make mobiles with great cameras, but the Arc is definitely top of the class. You've got 8MP on board, with the latest gadgets like geo-tagging, instant web uploading and Exmor image enhancer to give your snaps that exta "wow factor". Not only that, but you've also got genuinely useful features such as image stabilisation, digital zoom, LED flash and touch focus, to help you get that perfect shot first time round. Your videos will be equally impressive with HD and those extra utilities such as video light to turn a blurry video into a good-quality film.

Don't forget that the Arc also runs Android 2.3, the fastest version to date. You'll be able to zip around Google Maps, your email and the web in complete comfort, keeping you up to date with the latest news or entertainment from wherever you want it. Organise your homescreen around the way you want to use it - all part of Android's efforts to keep your mobile personal to you! And if apps are your thing, you'll find them in abundance, too!

A worthy carrier of the "Xperia" title, the Three Xperia Arc is leaps and bounds ahead of the X10 in terms of spec, whilst maintaining the same feel. A phone for Sony Ericsson fans and new converts alike!
