| Bottom line | The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is a beautiful handset with some great features, but a high price tag and no network optimization leave few reasons to buy this unlocked
Android phone. | A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone. | Sony Ericsson follows up its ultrastylish Xperia Arc with the Xperia Arc S, a slightly faster version of the posh European model that runs
Android 2.3 Gingerbread and rocks a powerful camera. Its high price, single-core CPU, and slow data speeds will leave Android experts wanting more. | If beauty is your only priority, the Sony Xperia P will certainly satisfy, but power isn't this unlocked phone's forte. | Sony's pricey, stylish Xperia S is packed with multimedia tricks but is undone by a slow processor and lackluster display. |
