Xperia PLAY delivers the smartphone functionality that the most serious power users could need, teamed with the immersive gaming experience that any gamer would want.

In portrait mode, the Android smartphone offers all the benefits that users have come to expect from Sony Ericsson's existing range of Xperia smartphones with best-in-class entertainment experiences, a great 5 megapixel camera, a brilliant 4" multi-touch screen and great social networking features.

However, slide out the gaming control and users enter a new world of immersive mobile gaming. The slide out game pad reveals a digital D pad, two analogue touch pads, two shoulder buttons and the four PlayStation icons: circle, cross, square and triangle. Qualcomm's optimized Snapdragon processor with a 1GHz CPU and embedded Adreno GPU graphics processor deliver silky smooth 60fps play-back 3D mobile gaming and Web browsing with minimal power consumption so Xperia PLAY users can enjoy long hours of battery life and game time.

 Awesome Gaming Phone

| | See all AlienExists's reviews (2)

Delivery service was really quick, the phone is really good infact its awesome, since i love gaming, this phone suits me very well. I can't stop playing super mario. only the notification led is poor since it is at the back of the phone with the power button it is not noticeable if you got a text. Other than that it's a must have phone for any gamers out there. ;)

 Decent phone ever.

I've just ordered this phone after doing research for days on which phone is the best for me. After all that this is the phone I want now. It has got everything that a person need for his or her daily life. This phone is way better than those blackberry and even iphone in some cases. I know its going to a money well spent for me for sure. I'm going to be writing another review here after I get and use this phone.

 Great Product, Poor Service

| | See all PotentialBuyer2's reviews (1)

Phone delivery was great, but SD card was faulty. Play.com could not simply replace faulty card. Instead either whole purchase needed to be replaced or refunded. I reluctantly agreed to a replacement and the inevitable inconvenience. Took nearly 2 weeks before courier pickup date was given, but by then I had already given up, and tried to buy a replacement card from play.com. That never arrived ("awaiting stock"), so I cancelled the order. In the end I bought SD card locally to avoid any more waiting. Conclusion: Had there not been a fault with the product then the service would have been excellent instead of poor. Phone is great except for the usual uninstallable coporate bloatware.
