As I said before, the external appearance is great and I will give it 9 out of 10 for that. It exudes a very contemporary look with a touch of the class. Do the features enhance the beauty of the handset? Let’s find out.

Ericsson Arc S Screen
The 4.2 inch Bravia Engine Reality Display that this handset is equipped with, will give you the ultimate viewing experience. It is in fact one of the best touch screensthat any smart phone sports. It is very responsive, sharp and bright. The display has a screen resolution of 854 by 480 pixels which is impeccable. The screen has a covering of Gorilla Glass which is scratch resistant.

Camera
This handset packs an 8 MP HD camera that is complemented by an LED Flash. The pictures are just too good and they look even better because of the large screen that the handset has. There is secondary camera though.

Audio
The audio feature of the Sony Ericsson Arc S is quite good. We know that Sony does not comprise on the quality of their audio features and same is the case with this handset too. The speaker of the handset is really good and there is no distortion in the sound even if the volume is turned up to full.
