Upgrading to Xperia S

---

Ok guys, sorry to post this here but there's no where else right now.
I am so excited about the Xperia S, it isn't funny!! The dual core processor and 1gb internal memory is huge and just what this phone needs!
Who else is excited about this phone, what could be the pros and cons against the Arc?
Let me know what you think,

Not really excited.
Look at the "old" SGS II or newer Galaxy Note. They should beat the Xperia S. And no, I'm not a Sammy fanboy.
Dualcore, 1GB RAM. Xperia S isn't new.

Cons:
No sd card slot

Price is totally a pro and not a con.

Imo cons are:
No sd card slot
non removeable battery
not as sexy as the Arc (couldn't be possible )

Pros:
Everything else.

but he asked with the comparison to arc. So arc definitely wins in term of price. :P

Xperia S over arc:
- Higher resolution screen.
- Supposedly better camera + 1080p video.
- Dual-core processor.
- Big RAM.
- 32 GB internal memory.
- Design has that "wow" factor especially with that transparent glass in the middle and 3 LED lights in it.


Xperia arc over S:
- Lighter.
- Thinner.
- More affordable.
- MicroSD card slot.

Things that matter me the most are the processor and high screen resolution. Mind you, I watch 4-5 hours of HD (720p/1080p) video content on my phone every day and not having to reencode them would be very helpful, so your needs will differ.

I'd get the SGS II if it's not running TouchWiz. Currently I'm thinking of getting a Galaxy Nexus. Upgrading to Xperia S would yield me an equal-sized screen and Xperia ion's out of reach (since it's US only).

quite disappointed when heard that Xperia S has no microSD slot and changeable battery. i will hold my arc until another model moves me

upto 1.8GB for App Storage,
32GB Internal memory via eMM

people keep getting this wrong and before you ask how i know i used the phone at CES and its also plastered across the white paper available from the SE Dev World.

The Phone is great and i cant wait to get my own as soon as my rep drops its off.

Why can't they just improve the battery .... Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX has 3300 mAh battery without affecting the size of the device ... I really wish Xperia S had that battery

Xperia S
-Bravia Engine
-4.3" 720x 1280(342ppi) Reality Display
-1.5Ghz Dual-core
-Adreno 220 GPU
-1GB Ram
-1.8GB Internal Memory(User Available)
-32GB eMMC(Embedded Memory)
-12MP Exmor-R with 1080p Video and Fast Capture
-1.3MP Front Camera with 720p Video
-Anti Stain Shell(Dirt Repellent and UV Active)
-Fast Charge Capability(Pro's of non replaceable battery)
-NFC, GLONASS, WIFI Direct, Gyro
-Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
-PlayStation Certified(It's getting some Traction now lots of PS1 Games and some PSP Games Available)
-Price is just Right

- Design has that "wow" factor especially with that transparent glass in the middle and 3 LED lights in it.

What stopping you from buying an Xperia S? No Micro SD card slot and a Replaceable Battery?

but for me I think that 32GB is Big enough for me, including the 1.8GB for the Apps to be installed, My Arc got 16GB and I have lots of HD Games and 720p Video's I still have 3GB free

and having a non replaceable battery is not all Cons

I rarely remove my Battery and Micro SD Card, the only time I removed the Battery and Micro SD Card when i upgraded it to 16GB and Inserted my SIM
