Sony Ericsson Xperia™ PLAY

SuperPlay Review from S

ony Ericsson Xperia™ PLAY is one of the best smartphones ever made, chiefly because of its stunning gaming potential, but also because it is also an easy to use smartphone. Beneath its Android shell, running the latest 2.3 Gingerbread version OS, lies a slick, slide out gamepad – unleashing a whole new side to the phone that delivers top quality games in a tiny form factor. This is the world’s first PlayStation licensed gaming experience on a handset, compatible with all ported PlayStation games. The Xperia™ PLAY features both a D-pad and dual analogue touch pads, four face buttons, plus two shoulder buttons for full control. Forget the onscreen controllers of the iPhone – this is how games are meant to be played! For the more casual gamer and general phone user, Android’s own marketplace has 200,000+ apps available for you to customise your handset.
