I have owned this cellphone for 9 months now, and, although it delivers what it promises, I haven't had the best experience with it. I let it take a splash, and, even as it wasn't much water (seriously) and I immediately dried it and let it for two days in a jar with calcium cloride crystals, digitizer stopped working. When I took it to the authorized service, it showed corrosion signals on the technician's lab and I lost the warranty due to "humidity", but the digitizer came back working. Some months after, I got a problem with some apps (Strava Cycling, Last.fm) that couldn't write user data, so after resetting the device to factory, things started working again. Last but not least, last week the screen started showing only white noise, unless I slid the device open. Another trip to the lab, and it shows the main flatwire is worn out (plastic is all cracked, and some of the wires too), and it's too expensive to fix it.
It's not a bad device, however, it's fragile. So, if you are thinking about buying it or already own it, play it safe with your Play.

ghasan.hasan, 27 Mar 2013I have xperia play but I can't find any app make the camera... moreThere is no such program out there on a non-rooted phone, which has the capability of making the camera zoom work. However, rooting your phone might be beneficial since there are several applications and other android os, which can make your camera zoom on objects. Unfortunatly, those applications which have been shown on youtube are probably fake. I have used Camera zoom ex and other programs but they had the same conclusion, they couldn't make the Xperia play Zoom.

Anonymous, 28 Feb 2013Did anyone upgrade this to android 4.2,
can we upgrade it??This phone is literally stuck to Android 2.3.X (Gingerbread).
Sony disn't keep their word and the phone, which was sold as upgradable to Android 4.x (ICS), ended up being abandoned by the manufacturer under a lame excuse, "gamepad will not work as well...".
Actually, the phone is a great idea and it works well on "not very demanding" games.
Despite that, one must not forget Sony has deceived their customers (as many others previously did; I know) and the fact remains that if you're buying a sony phone... tomorrow it may happen the same to your "upgradable" phone... without any form of compensation.
Be warned!

TeeKnight, 22 Mar 2013Pls what is this phone's os upgradeable to? Also, which is... moreAndroid OS, v2.3.4 is the latest for the xperia play. Xperia neo v is as good as this. Xperia arc has a better camera, 1,4ghz proccesor, fm radio and Hdmi support. Xperia arc is best of these phones, but if you like to play then i reccomend to buy this phone. Also one thing, that xperia play don't have is camera zoom. You can download some program that will zoom. I bought xperia play and i like it, i can play and do other things. Most important is that you can call with it.
