It's design! It looks so sleek from almost any angle. :D (like the transparent strip at the bottom)
A good CPU as well, although not the best out there, it is optimized well and really responsive.
The HD screen of course, with it's amazing pixel density.
The camera with dedicated shutter key allows for quick and fast photo taking.

Because S2 felt cheap and plasticky. SXS felt great when using.

I had read and seen loads of review before and after the sxs was launched. Let me tell you seeing it on the monitor and holding it in hand are not the same thing.

I went to a local electronics store to see the phone, once I saw the actual thing and held it...it was love at first sight.

Dont Buy Xperia S if...

Xperia S is really a good phone from display 342 ppi, 12M, looks etc...
But dont buy it if...

1. You want to make video calls...it does not support it
2. Photos are really shaking mostly...very poor low light photos
3. Battery Drains like indian rains
:eek:

No point of understanding this!
You check it out yourself, find what you feel good and bad and decide to buy/reject.

Each users have their own preference/taste.

reviews

i chose sxs as an upgrade from htc hd 2 with gingerbread thanks to doom kernal,
upgrade was a toss up between the galaxy note, htc one x and the htc beats sensation xl,
after reading the reviews the camera on the xperia s was by far the best out of the bunch along with the screen.
the hdmi capability and the fact the screen was so clear made me jump ship from htc to sony,
i didnt want a phone the size of the htc one x or galaxy note,
the only bad points on reviews about the xs were the covers fro hdmi and usb port, even though iphone, htc and samsung dont have covers on theres, the fact it was non removable battery, again same as i-phone (and im sorry 32gb is plenty) and the fact it had a dual core not a quad core, sorry but why would i need a quad core in my phone, there are no apps that need it and likely not going to be until my next upgrade,
plus i love the look of the xperia s in white compared to the htx one x and the galaxy note was horrible to hold for me,
despite the fact sony have let us down with the firmware updates i love the phone to bits,

I cant desribe how awesome this piece of plastic is..

The screen
The camera
The speed

Just everything!

I bought this phone mostly of the screen..

Just HD in just a tiny little motherf8....
Just joking xD


Just HD in this tiny screen..
Even my friends where amazed when they saw it...

Its just awesome!!

But the only BIG problem is.. Fat32.......... If you know what i mean..

And forgot to say.. The design...

I went with Xperia S cuz

1. It's a SONY !!
2. The sleek design (looks like a Sony Bravia ;))
3. The screen !!!
4. The 12 mpx cam and also the fast capture functionality
5. The build quality and the premium feel in the hand
6. Stunning UI

And

Cuz its the first SONY device after 10 years:)

- Sony build quality, One of the main reasons I don't like SGSses.
- Good components and testing.
- Good battery and charging system, battery-life is a different thing. One trolling process is enough to **** it up (widgets!).
- Get's 4.0, STABLE. A perfect base for slimming down and tweaking.
- Camera
- The tags
- Screen, LCD fanboy, I like reading in the sun..
- Original UI, personally I don't really care about that. In the end my Android device UI looks the same on all phones. LauncherPro4TW.
