Overview of Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
**The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc has now been discontined, please see the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S instead**
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is the flagship Android device from Sony. Featuring a massive 4.2" Sony Reality Display and Sony's Mobile BRAVIA Engine, this uniquely shaped handset is designed to deliver the richest multimedia experience possible.
It features state-of –the-art screen technology with its 4.2” super-wide multi-touch Reality display which benefits from Sony’s Mobile BRAVIA Engine. Now all of your videos and photos are sharper and have improved contrast with vivid colours. Sony has additionally removed the air gap between the glass and display with the result that reflection has been drastically reduced, making it easier to view outdoors.
The Sony Ericsson Arc features an 8.1 megapixel camera which features Sony’s Exmor R Mobile. This technology means that you can capture stunning photos and videos even in low light conditions. Once you have captured your masterpiece why not share it with friends? With the built-in HDMI connection you can easily connect the Sony Ericsson Arc to a high definition TV for viewing you photos and videos on a larger screen.
Timescape brings together all of your Social Media updates, messages and emails into one place. This ensures that you can keep in contact with you friends and family and up-to-date with everything which is happening. It enables photos and videos to be instantly uploaded to your social media accounts, so that they can be easily shared.
The Sony Ericsson Arc is also ideal for business, with the ability to synchronize your email, calendar and contacts in a secure manner. Business documents can be viewed using the pre-loaded OfficeSuite, making it easier to keep in touch with your customers and colleagues.
With a cutting-edge features set and its sleek 'Arc' design, the Sony Ericsson Arc is one of the hottest smartphone designs out there.
