Jim, 31 Mar 2012I am not sue why everyone raves on about quad core as if it... moreAn excellent comment - the madness with obsessing over huge quad core specs even greater than what my PC has needs to stop. Focusing on hardware takes the attention off the software and allows Google to get away with writing bloated slow software. Sony has the sensible approach of trying to optimise the bloat that Google gives it so that Android will run well on sensible hardware.
When it comes to hardware, I would wish battery life was the focus and not benchmarks (and many benchmarks are meaningless due to different screen resolutions and software versions).

Last year i bought Galaxy S II, i liked this phone alot. But in this year, when i saw this Sony new phone, i was like, i want and need to have it! So i sold my Galaxy S II and bought this beatiful Sony branded phone.
All what i have to say is that Sony Xperia S is much more better phone than Galaxy S II. Touch buttons may be uncomfortable in first days but you will learn how to use them, actually it's very easy. Screen colors are more real than on Galaxy S II, camera is faster and takes beatiful pictures outdoors and low light with flash.
You also will get HDMI cable in box, witch is super and Galaxy S II doesn't offer.
To all Nokia N8 fans, this is my Nokia beacause it failed too much.

If iPad 3 doesn't need quad-core, why would you need quad-core on a phone.

A good review from gsmarena but some people writting strange comments here on the xperia s forum well they can write what ever they want about the xperia s it really dos nt matter the fact is the Xperia S is a top notch mobile in almost any department no matter what you
doing with the device and the battery life is actually pretty good after three 3 weeks having this device so i have nt hade any problem at all beside that the htc one x have no support for radio and the for this device is very high its just a question if its worth it the only i can say about the Xperia S is that it is worth any single penny here you get a lot for you money

Now to the subject, if you take out the sound and camera quality N8 is old, outdated and awfully old.
