The first part of our analysis of Sony Ericsson Xperia Play let us pending speak of your display, rather peculiar as you can see, the Android operating system and its "made in Sony Ericsson" customization, and of course the multimedia features of this phone that boasts 5 megapixel camera.

So we entertain no more and we are going to slaughter with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play analyzed.

Talk of a system of automatic brightness on the screen of a mobile phone is nothing new nor surprising. However, that this Xperia Play will lead no light sensor makes that option not very welcome. The result is that in our tests the basic brightness proposed to us by the phone usually in most cases quite low, which makes it seem a worse screen than it actually is. So to enjoy it and appreciate the good that is, Activate the brightness to the Max.

And it is that the resolution or how sample colors that convince us, while watching his sister Bravia in the Sony Ericsson Arc, we already called on Sony Ericsson that it implement the technology on all its phones. They have a good ally in it to combat the "organic" and "Retinal Display" of the market.

The response of the screen in its paragraph touch that has convinced us, in the middle of the best phones on the market.

Android pure or with customization. Surely that is a debate that many users androids ever arise most when choosing a phone with this operating system.

Sony Ericsson has made an adaptation of Android in its upper layers that we like. To group applications by folders with his pitcher us has fallen in love, with a design that fits with your phone.

Management of contacts, with interaction with its "alter egos" in social networks and messaging system deserve a major round of applause.

The downside of getting to your users good cameras makes that when expectations are very high, a decent camera only does not the chord. And the 5 megapixel camera this Xperia Play is not a bad camera, but pulls away a little camera with a capital already users want to have a mobile phone.

But not all the blame the users with their expectations. Sony Ericsson has not made any effort to give prominence to the camera of this phone thinking that to be the "PlayStation Phone" enough you. They have focused all its efforts in that regard and have simply placed the camera on the back, with its flash (required for best results) and little else.

Although we cannot control the basic aspects of the image, we expected more than the interface of Sony Ericsson. We would also like to have a physical button for photos, and they could have used perfectly where are flanking the volume control, because its location is perfect for this task.

That Yes, in the end, in acceptable conditions, pictures that makes the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play us worth without a display. The following examples:

Where it is could be ported much better is the theme of the video, that is away from the high-definition 720 p that is common to see so-called phones to govern our advanced pockets. This Sony Ericsson's limited to about 800 × 480 pixels, without much more shine in this aspect.

And now we can only look in the latest installment of this analysis of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is this phone as a portable game console.
