    If it had an dual-core Krait i could buy this, instead of SGS3. But I am dreaming of phone with ~4-4.3" HD screen within more compact size than this.

      seems liek a lot of articles about Sony phones fail to provide any mention of the availability of ExmorR sensors.
      Tell us which phones have ExmorR sensors. It's really important for most people to take shots in any kind of ambient light.

          No improvement, unless it comes with MSM8260A ( Snapdragon S4) processor. Otherwise its just same as HTC One S Asian Version. :P If this is the config, then I ll surely move to Sony Hyabusa!! No need of Xperia SL!! Unnecessary Job Sony!! This wont increase the sales!!

              very beautiful and elegant! Sony have really good designs that can even make the Iphone jelly.
              the only thing that could look better than that is a pink n9... but not the lumia (it is a cheap copy)

                        RAZRian, 03 Aug 2012im just curious why some of the comments here have so much ... moreI am curious why u Samsung fan and iPhone fan can cimkent like this. Sony is the only company wgo actually put money on design.

                        IPhone design same for years and same for Samsung. They even keep galaxy s without even tiniest different design.

                        Xperia go, acro s, ion s, gx and sx is having totally different design. Ur bias make all the different.

                          Kalevro, 03 Aug 2012Well hypotheticly overclocked means to speed up the capacit... moreThere is no hypothetical here as it will be overclocked at 1.7ghz. It is an overclock because, as you said, the s4 at stock is clocked at 1.5.

                            Anonymous, 02 Aug 2012I dont see any error this with design into human hands curv... moreXperia S does definetly not feel comfortable in the hand, the edges are too sharp, and the Sony curved back on this one only makes it bulky! Why all the wasted space below the keys, it has a smaller screen but is almost as big as, and feels bigger than, S3!

                              im just curious why some of the comments here have so much praise on the design of sony. all xperia phones looks the same with just varrying size.

                                AnonD-21645, 03 Aug 2012... it's terrible really... because all Sony are doing here... moreFongy, the anti-Sony troll. Btw, did you even experience the performance difference between the Xperia S and HTC Sensation? Based on the same chipset but the real life user experience of Xperia S is so far against that phone. Boils down to optimizations, eh?

Sony is the best electronic giant in the world. Faggot!

                                    ... it's terrible really... because all Sony are doing here is p1ssing off existing Xperia S users - by releasing a better version 6 months later..

                                    ...worse though... the specs are horribly muted in comparisons to the big boys (Sammy, HTC, etc.)

                                    ...they need to catch up.. AND FAST...

                                    ..just think how how outdated this phone will be in September when GNote2 and new Nexus phones come out.. as well as new iPhone...

                                    ..and then again in March 2013 - where there will be improved quad cores and this is rocking an overclocked, dated dual core with no prospect of future software upgrades...

                                    ...remember... people typically have a new handset for 18 months now... and this is 2011 specs coming out at the end of 2012...

                                    ...not good...

                                      Maybe yu haven't seen the HTC EVO 4G LTE :D which is currently the best smartphone out there. Just watch some comparisons of it w oher phones and see
