Sony Xperia acro S

“The Sony Xperia acro S review course is complete and it's now time to check out its scorecard and see if it's worth your hard-earned cash. To be honest, it's not easiest thing to call, as the worth of the Xperia acro S is very much dependent on how important water-resistance is to you.If you are the outdoorsy type who likes to take your smartphone to the beach but don't want to worry about it getting water-damage or filled with sand, than the acro S should definitely be on your shortlist. There's no better smartphone with an IP57 certification out there and that's that.But even if you could live without the extra protection against the elements, the Sony Xperia acro S is not to be written off too easily. It offers decent performance, a splendid 720p screen and an excellent 12 megapixel shooter, which turn the elemental resistance into an extra. You can think of it as an insurance against evenings ruined by damaged circuits. After all, as smartphones become an ever-increasing part of our lives, any accident that befalls them gets harder to live with.Still, if you are the careful type, you will probably find better value for your money elsewhere. It's not that the acro S fails in any aspect of its performance as a smartphone, but it doesn't exactly excel either - while some of its price point peers do.”

“Let's be serious, people. The Sony Xperia acro S may not be the best smartphone out there, but it is the ultimate water-resistant Android handset that money can buy outside of Japan. Sure, we cannot deny that it is a bit bulky and its capacitive keys are kind of tricky to use, but its flaws are greatly outnumbered by its advantages, such as the catchy design, high-resolution display, capable camera, and rich multimedia feature set.But those of you who find the Xperia acro S a bit pricy can also check out the more affordable Sony Xperia go, with a 3.5-inch screen, a dual-core processor, and water-tight body.In case you don't need a water-resistant phone, there's always the slimmer Sony Xperia SL, which has a slightly faster processor, identical, high-res display, and promising camera. The ultra-thin HTC One S is also worth checking out, especially if you are into AMOLED screens. Sure, its display resolution is lower, but the processor inside it is a notch above the acro S' S3 chip.”
