Sony Xperia acro S Review

(LT26w) Score: 62 / 100

Sony Xperia acro S is a powerful Android phone released some years ago, in 2012, packed with a medium 4.3" display, an extremely powerful Dual-Core processing unit running at 1.5 gigahertz, a 12.1 megapixels back camera and a 1.3 megapixels front facing camera. Let's take a closer view of what this cellphone can give us.

Sony decided to equip this phone with an extremely powerful Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1500 MHz, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 MSM8260 system chip with only 1 GB RAM which is a little bit disappointing for a phone of this quality. Graphic calculations generally consume a lot of CPU cycles, so it has an extra Adreno 220 GPU ticking at 266 megahertz to help the processor with those tasks. This cellphone has a good 16 GB internal memory and an external memory card slot, which allows you to install a couple hundred apps without worrying about space.

It appears that Sony forgot about optimizing the weight in this 5.19 oz cellphone. Sony made the Sony Xperia acro Savailable just in 3 different color options: black, pink and white.

The Sony Xperia acro S has two cameras, a 12.1 MP back side camera and a 1.3 MP front camera. It is also able to capture 1920x1080 Full HD videos. The camera also features lots of great features: flash, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

Sony designed this device with a high-tech 4.3" display, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes all images and videos look vivid and colorful. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This cellphone provides wifi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card to use GSM services.

The Sony Xperia acro S has a 1910 mAh medium capacity replaceable battery, which is quite low for a demanding cellphone like this. Sony reports a talk time of 6.7 hs and a stand by time of 290 hours for this phone.

This device also includes some useful features as NFC, Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Sony Xperia acro S is not a very good choice considering it costs 165 dollars, while some similar devices are being sold much cheaper than that. This phone is definitely very appropiate for you if you will use it as a gaming device, want it to take tons of photos, will use it mainly for internet broswing and social networks or are looking for a device for work. When buying the Sony Xperia acro S you also get synchronisation and file transfer, charger, micro USB cable for charging, and user documentation. and Stereo portable handsfree.
