Xperia PLAY Review

The phone comes in a surprisingly small box, given how large the phone appears on the Internet. The truth is, the PLAY, while not as svelte as some other smartphones, is a lot thinner than you would guess by the beauty shots. Looking at the screen head-on, there’s a VGA front-facing camera and ambient light sensor to the right, some SE branding, a large 4” display, and your traditional four Android buttons on the bottom as on any other phone these days. The back of the device feels a bit cheap and plasticy, and is also a fingerprint haven (at least, the black version is – we were not able to test a white PLAY). There’s also a 5.1 megapixel rear-facing camera, LED flash, microphone, the iconic Sony Ericsson logo, and the typical branding of wireless carrier and the name of the phone. On the top of the phone lies the power button, which also has a notification LED. You also have an unfortunately placed headphone jack on the left side of the Play – when you put the phone in your pocket access to the headphone port is blocked, and you run the risk of breaking cords if your pockets are any bit snug.

So the design isn’t the best when considering the backside texture and a few ports. But all of that is easily forgiven the second you slide the screen up and are greeted not by yet another keyboard, but rather by a full-on layout, with two huge bonuses. I’d like to call it a PSP+ gamepad. The two analog touchpads where the single analog stick and start/select buttons normally lie on the PSP Go is admittedly weird to see at first, but once you use these puppies for a few games you really learn to appreciate them (more on that in a bit). As you grip the phone with the gamepad out, your trigger fingers instinctively move to the upper left and right corners of the phone, and they are met by the L and R triggers. They seem a bit “softer” to the touch than any traditional shoulder button you may be used to, but they have a resounding clicking feel that assures you your button press has been registered.

As you may know, one of the reasons some people–especially gadgetphiles– are deciding to pass on the Xperia PLAY is due to its internal hardware. While it’s true that Sony Ericsson went with a single-core Snapdragon processor, it is no slouch at its 1 GHz clock rate. The Play is one of the first handset to ship with the latest phone version of Google’s operating system, 2.3 (“Gingerbread”). My current app count is already at 140, many of which run services in the background such as Trillian, Advanced Task Killer, Facebook, Tweetdeck, Foursquare, and more. The OS has yet to hiccup. A couple of apps weren’t completely compatible at first, but now that the phone has been out those applications have been updated and other than , have not seen a force close (application hang up) in quite some time. I have yet to ever see the phone slow down to the point where it needed a reboot, and I have only turned it completely off three times since it’s been in my possession – once to upgrade the MicroSD card, again when attempting to root, and recently after I dropped it a few feet and the MicroSD card became dislodged. Make no mistakes – the Xperia PLAY runs rock solid. The fact that Sony Ericsson didn’t load the phone up with a lot of “bloatware” outside of ’s VCAST application probably has a lot to do with its stability.
