Sony Ericsson has just released its newest product by combining the android and touchscreen display, and two advanced features will also be owned by Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play. In the smartphone for Sony Ericsson is likely to be ideal for lovers game because the keyboard when shifted down, then the PSP will look like a gamepad, but has a touchscreen feature.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a high-end Android smartphone that doubles as a dedicated gaming device. It features a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM and a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen.

The Phone feels like a new lineup of phones and sony is trying to get into the portable gaming market with this. Maybe e will see more phones like this from Sony  The phone feels very good to hold and the controller is very good to use and feels well spaced. although you wont be able to play for too long though.

What I like


4" multitouch display (854 x 480px) Good for gaming.

Powerful hardware - 1GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon, 512MB of RAM

Runs the latest version of Android (2.3)

FM receiver and transmitter Always good for some fun.

WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth connectivity

Sits nicely in the hand

quality 5MP camera


What I Dint like

No HD video recording- that will be a big draw back.


Feels a bit too bulky and big.

This is a good phone and if you are into the portable gaming league then have a look at this device. The games available for the device are increasing day by day and are cheap too.
