@galaxy sl user I am playing a lot of Hd videos on my phone.And thet r running great.There r many other things to consider like the aspect ratio of the video as well as the frames or field per second.The aspect ratio generally used is 3:4,3:2,1.85:1,2.39:1 and 16:9.These days 16:9 is the mostly used.There r a lot of other aspect ratio but they become infrequent and may become unplayable on most of the normal screens.Now comming to frame per second, frame per second is the number of consecutive times an imaging device displays consecutive images whereas refresh rate is the number of times in a second when the display hardware draws data,this refresh rate is measured in hertz.The cathode ray tubes(crt creens) generally have refresh rates of hundreds of hertz while most of the lcds generally have refresh rates of 24,25,30,50,60.So there r many things that effect the playback.

Bought the phone from a retailer in Kerala for 19,750/-
Excellent phone for a sub 20k model
Pros
Its cheap
All the pros of android 2.2
Battery life if wifi is sparingly used, better than htc desire or desire hd
Assured android 2.3 update
Feels too 'plasticky' for a 20 k phone
Free office suite- Thinkfree
Cons
UI is not as good as Sense
No flash for camera
SLCD instead of super AMOLED
Kies software for connectivity by samsung is horrible
(OVI suite is much better)
Poorer GPU compared to i9000

@ ibanez It locks gps signal in abt 15-45 seconds depending upon ur location
@ravi the battery lasts for abt a day of heavy usage.With low to moderate usage it might last u 1.5-2days.The camera is excellent and u wont regret the absence of flash
@ sup the internal memory of phone is 4gb,comprising 2gb of rom and 2gb of internal sd card.
@Noble the phone does have gorrilla glass.But according to me u should still consider scrath guard as it will add another protective layer to ur phone.The price of the phone rs 20000,the price of a good screen protector rs 100 -200.The screen guard costs u roughly 0.5 percent of the handset cost.I think u got the answer.

@raj I was the first few to get my hands onthis device and the first one to review this on gsmarena.I did this to solve people 's queries.I can bet that u haven't used the handset and just copied from somewhere.U did mention that this device has a weaker gpu but didn't mention that it has a faster processor.U just wrote the cons of the handset but no prons.And I should tell u that this device does have a tvout,gorrilla glass and 4x zoom.So my friend only write a review either after using the phone or after getting confirmed info,dont dishearten people by giving wrong info.

All those who experiment the TV out functionality of the phone; please confirm that whether we can get the whole UI to the TV or just the media/video??
Check the below video; a cool Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc HDMI out to TV! (I know the Arc has HDMI but will this SL support SD quality whole UI out to TV?, anyone tried??)
