Xperia arc S versus Xperia arc
The Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S is identical to the Xperia arc in every way apart from two internal changes: 1) the processor has been given a boost from 1GHz to 1.4GHz and 2) download speeds have improved from 7.2Mbps to 14.4Mbps (as long as your mobile operator supports it). Another difference is that the Xperia arc S comes in various colours not available on the original Xperia arc. This includes the gorgeous white Xperia arc S that has been tasted by the Xperia blog.
The video below shows us loading a few websites and seeing the difference in camera start-up times. Yes, the Xperia arc S is faster, but in web rendering the difference is small. The Xperia arc S is also faster in starting the camera, which is more noticeable, but whether current owners will really notice the difference is questionable.
There is no doubt that the Xperia arc S is a faster phone than the original, both in benchmarks and marginally faster in real world use. It is not expected for Xperia arc owners to upgrade, as quite simply it is not nearly enough of an upgrade. Given that Xperia arc owners with the know how can software overclock their handsets to 1.4GHz and above diminishes the performance impact of the arc S.
However, this phone isn’t aimed at current Xperia arc owners, it is aimed at new customers. In that regard, the Xperia arc S is a worthy phone. It comes with a super-sexy design (especially the white version) with a very respectable 1.4GHz speedy processor and a range of different colours. Given that the price point is the same as the Xperia arc, it’s pretty much a no brainer. As said before the Xperia arc S is the company’s transitionary phone before it releases its dual-core handsets and, in that regard, it is the perfect stop-gap.
