Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, one of Sony Ericsson’s latest flagship devices to make its way into the US compatible with AT&T’s network.  If you’ll recall, SE already released the Xperia Arc overseas with a single core 1 GHz Snapdragon and was touted as one of the thinnest Android devices to hit the market.  Well, SE now gives you the Xperia Arc S, its quick follow up to the original Xperia Arc only this time with a few beefed up changes under the hood.  The Arc S is still as slim as its predecessor coming in at 8.7 mm thin giving an overall appearance that it’s even thinner thanks to its convex design.  The device is nearly identical to the original Arc and still sports a 4.2-inch capacitive touch display but now offers a slightly higher clocked CPU at 1.4 GHz (still a single core Snapdragon by Qualcomm).  There are also a few extra bonuses with this model which we’ll get to later on, such as Sony’s added 3D sweep panorama feature, which allows you to create 3D still shots that you can view on your big screen at home.  We’ll see if this is something that can set the Arc S apart from the competition however
