AnonD-31355, 22 Nov 2011which one is a better purchase, xperia Arc S or xperia PRO?... moreHello u7YK,
ARC S is very good for reading pdf files & web browsing. The 4.2" display will give you an amazing experience. At least it was great for me.
But if you are happy with a smaller screen like Xeparia Pro 3.7" then i think you can go for it. The qwerty keyboard will also help to save little bit of the battery, as you can use that rather using the touch screen all the time.
Also the processor 1.4 Ghz of Xperia ARC S comes handy when playing HD video & HD Gaming.
If the price range is same for Pro & ARC S, then i prefer ARC S.

AnonD-4340, 22 Nov 2011who would you use the fone for that long with all radios tu... moreHi, Yes I know.
I turned off all the radios just to check only the video playback output. If you check GSMARENA's standard battery test option you would find that they also do the same while cheking the Video playback.
Now under 2G network/ GSM only, My ARC S can play 5 hours & 30 mins of HD video.
This benchmark can be different depending on region/network & battery use.

which one is a better purchase, xperia Arc S or xperia PRO?
Arc S: 4.3", 1.4ghz,233 ppi pixel density, no front cam
PRO: 3.7", 1ghz, 265 ppi pixel density, front cam, qwerty keyboard
3.7" and qwerty is comfortable but is it ok for reading pdf files?

Arc S number one handset, who needs a dual core when you get the same power from the 1.4gh single core in this device. The camera is simply the best out there and the bravia Engine is out of this world. GS2 urmm no thanks , SE all the way you would be stupid not to buy an Arc S.

So Comparing these two is a stupidity and it's a no match.

Rashed, 21 Nov 2011Where is the Digital compass option in ARC SHi Rashed,
It means that the phone has digital compass capabilities. You can go to android market and download a digital compass app, there's many to choose from. I am running Smart Compass Lite and it works like a dream!
Hope this info helps.

The camera of Xperia Arc S is awesome with a built in 8MP camera, 3264×2448 pixels along with autofocus and LED flash. iPhone 4s cocoons a 8MP camera, 2592×1944 pixels which even though is less gives the user a detailed photo. Xperia Arc S’s camera includes 3D sweep panorama function and smile recognition other than the usual Touch focus present in both. iPhone 4s has a secondary camera for video calling but the Xperia Arc S doesn’t have one.
