Externally, leaves the Sony EricssonXperia Arc S under test can not distinguish from its relatives XperiaArc. This applies to both the appearance as well as for processing.The display and the delivery, we could also find no differences.


Like the Arc also has the Sony EricssonXperia Arc S the Exmor R sensor with 8-megapixel photo resolution. Inthe test, he provides a short shutter lag and little image noise,even when shooting at night. Exactly how it works and where thelimits are, we have already illuminated the test of the Xperia Arc .

Except for the more powerful processor, which is in theXperia Arc S 1.4 gigahertz quickly, but there should be no moredifferences between the platforms, so at least Wikipedia. QualcommMSM8255T the other hand, is not found. The main memory is 512megabytes also equal.


The company promises alone with thehigher processing power to speed up the entire system by about 25percent compared to the Xperia Arc. The speed boost is in the SonyEricsson Xperia Arc S test confirmed by our benchmarks, even afterthe update of the Arc to the latest firmware 2.3.4 Android scored theArc S scores, which are about a quarter higher.
