<b>Snap your shots in an instant</b>
Some events are too good to miss. Now you don’t have to. Start your camera in just over a second. Pointing and shooting takes one second too. And you can keep on shooting. No delays, no missing the subject. Just you capturing that special moment forever. Then share it direct, on Facebook or in a message.
<b>PlayStation certified</b>
Fingers itching? This PlayStation certified smartphone is built upon the gaming expertise of Sony Computer Entertainment. Buy and download games straight from your Xperia S - with new titles released continuously, boredom is not an option.
<b>Entertainment at the speed of delight</b>
Why wait to be entertained? Start the camera. Now shoot and save your best snaps super quick. The 1.5GHz dual core processors do everything at the speed of light. So download and play games, browse the web and watch videos, instead of watching them load.
<b>4.3” HD Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine</b>
Enhanced contrast. Richer colours. Less image noise. The Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine makes the super-wide, 4.3"", LED back-lit screen sharp and crisp. And through reduced light reflection, the picture stays clear when you're outdoors too.
<b>Getting dark?</b>
Dusk, dawn or just a crummy old light bulb? Sony's Exmor R for mobile CMOS sensor lets you capture high-quality, bright pictures and videos in poor light conditions.
<b>Sharp chatting in HD</b>
Chat away. Sharper than ever. Xperia S has a 720p front facing camera which gives a sharp image, even when you move around. It’s perfect for video calls with Google Talk or Skype.
<b>Powered by Android</b>
Make sure you always have the latest Android version installed. Xperia S is launching on Android platform 2.3 (Gingerbread) and will be upgraded to Android platform 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) during the second quarter 2012.
<b>Connect to your TV via HDMI</b>
Connect your Xperia S to your TV and cuddle up in the sofa. The HDMI connection lets you view pictures and videos from your phone on your TV screen using your TV remote control.
<b>Sony Entertainment Network</b>
10 million songs. Thousands of movies. From the major music labels and film studios. Enjoy it all on your Xperia S via the Sony Entertainment Network services Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited.
<b>You choose - Android Market</b>
Going out? Finding out? Or perhaps just chilling out? Download any application you want from Android Market and customize your Xperia S to make it exclusively yours.
<b>The place you call Home</b>
Where’s best for you? Email top right? Music player bottom left? You decide. With four extensions to your Home screen, you’ve got plenty of space to put things where you want. Just remember to flick left or right to find them.
<b>More control over your media</b>
Exercise more control over how media files get transferred and stored. Select MTP mode to transfer files if you want to limit the risk of data corruption or select MSC mode if you want to have more control over the data storage.
<b>Wi-Fi connect</b>
Connect the quick and easy way. On the move. In cafés. At the airport. Your Xperia S has Wi-Fi support.
