does the play not already have the bravia engine
Play does not have Bravia Engine.
All the other phones do and now including last gen model.
Exactly. The phone which would benefit most from crisper and more vibrant colors is THE ONLY ONE excluded from the whole new Xperia set. Aren't they dear, our SE friends?

Must say i do like it, seems much faster but after being on my 2nd handset with the x10 and still trying to get it replaced sony's customer service has put me off buying another handset from them, its a shame it does look a nice phone. Not really bothered about the late update nonsense but i'm sure they will improve this after last year
just wondering how much of this new UI on SE apps we will get in the UXP update

I doubt we will see anything from Arc's UXP on our X10. What's more, Arc may be a nice phone, however the support given by Sony for X10 is just pathetic, that's not how you treat your very first Android product. My next "Green Phone" won't be Sony, that's for sure.
Wish you good luck with Arc guys (for those who will decide to buy it)!

First thing i would need is to be able to switch the buttons on the arc. Why in the living H-bomb would they put the back button on the opposite side. OMFG why.
Good video anyways, got to see most of the features. if you can call them features
I would want one, but, no front-facing camera in this day and age makes me kinda sad.
Hmmm. I still have a year on contract with Docomo anyway, by then, the PlayStation phone will be out!
They are still a little behind in the hardware side aswell, its basically the same hardware as the x10, most handets this year will be dual core etc desire HD 700mb ram they have just added more to the x10 to bring it up to 512 which tbh should have been in the first place
There's an Arc forum already, so posting something related to that new phone in the proper forum would be better
may do was really about the possible upgrades for us
You can post this in the new Xperia Arc forum.
I think some of the devs will port the Arc rom to the X10, then we'll have the new things.
I just want the picture and music widgets...
Forget the arc's rom I want pure naked froyo. I don't see how anyone can say no to vanilla froyo.

Im sure the drivers may be able to be used for vanilla 2.3 off the arc for us? maybe

http://rohansood.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/sony-ericsson-xperia-ultimate-concept-emerges/
Could it be true?
For me, in case this is real, it would be another incomplete phone. No Xenon flash and no support for SD card, for example. However, the brushed case looks kinda cool.
Edit: Running Android 2.4, well, that would be another good feature.
oh my wow... nice phone
i'll be honest.... this kicks arcs ass in terms of looks.... arc's design is awkward......
Damn, that looks nice, especially that metal finish. If this phone is real, i'll buy it!
agree arc design is bit weird,like a guy with extra huge forehead!!!
16 GB is enough i guess,no need for SD Card,not a deal breaker..
but hey AGAIN sony is 1 year late,when rest of the world is going to dual core NOW,they have implemented dual core only in their concept designs which is 2012
future Arc buyers, think again
i'll stick to my x10 till this baby comes out.... arc is fugly..... cant think of any reason anyone will wanna buy it...
Looking for more info., I found another possible new Xperia phone:

I'll guess your first two words aren't for me, but if so, then watch out.
Those are only concepts, but I think the third line of Xperia phones will have a very similar look. Now, if you don't want to buy a new Xperia, it's your decision. Im not trying with this thread to make people believe again in SE, in fact Im against their policies and statements. This topic is just a possibility of what SE phones could expect in the future, that's all. No flamming and no 'whining' please.

Thanks for making it clear
Back to the topic... If SE designs a phone like any of those concepts with good hardware specs and Android 2.3/2.4, I'll buy one for sure. The Xperia Ultima concept looks fine, elegant and I like it, totally better than Arc
Doesn't say anything about not having a xenon flash? And looks like a genuine SE concept..
Sent from my X10 using XDA and Swype.
That whole site if full of SE concepts - atleast the 1st page is full of them.
That symphony either has a huge camera or is a tiny phone... but both the ultimas would be a real upgrade from this phone. No half step arc bologna.

Obviously I cant but what i'm saying is that Sony are just releasing the same phone over and over again only improving MINOR things.
I thought a surprise would be a completely new phone with a QUAD CORE processor and 4.8'' screen like the Samsung Galaxy S3.
When are we gonna see MAJOR changes ?

There's not much we can do about sony's decisions. If they want to do what htc did in 2011 and release alot of phones that has minor differences, its their loss if they fail.

If you want something like the S3 then get the S3.
Sony wouldn't do that as they don't have enough marketing influence to sell something like that
CyanogenMod 9 Xperia Play
FreeXperia Project
Pax close this thread please. This discussion has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE XPERIA PLAY.
So Sony's plan is to release as much devices as possible, Like HTC *once* did.

I agree.. When you think of "Heavy Hitters" in the industry, Sony doesn't rank up there. At least not in the US.
Maybe it was the taboo of being once associated with Ericsson and Ericsson's shoddy equipment back in ATTWS's TDMA days.

Interesting.... but us PLAY users shouldn't get too worried cause ICS is crap.

Sony is bad at lying. They said ICS for Play woudn't handle it, now le'me show you something.
Xperia Active: (gets ICS)
1ghz (onecore) processor
512mb ram
320mb internal space
Xperia Play: (that doesnt got ICS because it as Sony said it can't handle it)
1ghz (onecore) processor
512mb ram
320mb internal space
Um, almost same huh?

Uhm, I'll just quote myself to prevent more people come to say the same and the same again:
Miles Wolf said:
Oh god, not this again.
The reason that the Xperia Play is not getting ICS is not because its hardware!!!!
The story goes like this:
1- Sony launches the Xperia Play.
2- Some months later, some developers like Rockstar Games and EA make some outsanding games compatible with the Xperia Play (GTAIII, Dead Space...) wich helps a lot on the sales of this smartphone.
3- Sony, wich plans to update the Xperia Play to ICS like the other Xperias from 2011, launches a beta of ICS for the Xperia Play in order to allow people to test how their apps and games run on the new version of Android.
4- The beta works great on the phone, but some games like GTA III and other important titles don't run well. These games need to be updated to work correctly on the ICS for the Xperia Play.
5- Rockstar, EA and others refuse to update their games for the Xperia Play.
6- Sony, with no option, doesn't want to lose the most important titles of the Xperia Play and decides to not update the device.
END.

Um, i just want to say what did Sony said as first. I know about badass EA that doesn't really care at his customers (well, the origin and DRM is really amazing *sarcasm*)
Everytime I read sonys excuse that some third party pubisher bullied them into dropping support for the play makes me laugh, sony is the biggest bully around
Meh, I kinda don't care.
I can already have panoramic camera, data monitoring, ICS-style ui and such without actually having ICS... and with the bonus that it doesn't suck up as much memory as ICS does.
I'm kinda happy without it. If I owned any other phone I'd be pissed, but with this being the Xperia Play I care more about games. If we get ICS someday, it better not compromise all our Gameloft/EA/Rockstar games like current ICS builds do. I'm in it for TEH GAEMZ, and Xperia Play's rockin' GB just fine for that very thing.
EDIT: BTW, we've already know it wasn't a hardware issue from the get-go. This was the first thing I addressed in my article about Xperia Play getting no ICS. Not only is that same class phone mentioned above a large disproval of the "too weak" statement, but we have phones like the Tipo Dual (WAY weaker than the Xperia Play) that are getting ICS. Sony didn't do that to us because they care about the integrity of our software.

I should have mentioned it again, I dont run ICS because I really dont care about it either. I run GB because I game way too much. Gaming is the reason I bought this phone, and if I really wanted ICS I would just get another phone.....

Ofcourse I do, I see you've owned only Sony devices. I've had an SGS3 after my x10, and I must say, I liked my x10 overall more than that crappy SGS3. After it I've got my z2, I was relieved from all the problems the SGS3 had. I miss most of the great developers we had working on the x10 in this section, don't you think so too? This section is pretty much 'dead' compared to what the section for the x10 was.
