works fine... wifi, bluetooth, call receiving all are good... good choice for gaming... noise reduction works awesome... music is absolutely fine... 5 MP camera of sony is far better than an 8 MP cam of samsung...slide is smooth and vibration is smooth unlike samsung phones...
RAM and internal memory are less and that makes your phone slow... can't download more games because of that... games have to be installed in phone memory first and then moved to SD card and that gives you trouble...too heavy and bulky...have to still use android 2.3
Summary - The phone is great to use every day and with most of it small problems they can be fixed via the apps like the slow ish internet browser and pour camera ui. Over than them to problems the phone is great the best single cpu android device you can get.
I love games. And high quality games that I can carry anywhere make a very happy person. The game pad works great!!! coming from a crappy touchwiz 1.0 phone this is a dream come true. The games have great graphics and options in gameplay. The speaker great!!! It can be easily heard in another room if you want it to. sound is very crisp. I was not a fan of the stock android but it is kinda growing on me. good flued animations. I would subjest this phone to any friend of mine.
i dont actually have the xperia play just a w995 atm
have u tried zooming with the volume button because i never knew bout the zoom on any sony ericssons untill i found out about the volume buttons are used but i havent actually tried it on any xperia phone
pretty insane phone, lv pretty much everything about it except the camera has no zoom, although I haven't had it long I think its one of the best phones out there and definitely the best gaming phone :) if ur into games and want a phone which is still g8 at everything else than this is a must have, although if u wanna camera phone i wouldn't buy this
