Sony ericsson Xperia Play

Similar to the control of a portable game device, the Xperia Play offers mobile gaming experience that is different from its competitors.

Want to know what terbesit in our mind when I first saw Xperia Play? This device is similar to PSP (Playstation Portable) handheld console made by the parent company of SE, namely Sony Corp.. very popular especially among the gaming enthusiast.

Indeed, rumors of the SE will release a "PlayStation Phone" have been circulating for a long time. Finally, the real news was manifested in the Xperia Play. Not only that, the Xperia Play is claimed as the first Android smartphone the certified Playstation (Playstation ® Certified).

This certification states that some of the game, especially a licensed Sony Computer Entertainment, can only be run on the Xperia Play. An example is some of the early generation Playstation (PS1) are available at Market, designed specifically for the Xperia Play.

Once installed, a variety of games will be entered in the library "Playstation Pocket".Based on the experiment played a few games, we assume that the application Playstation Pocket is a sort of "official emulator" SE. This application has been optimized to be able to run properly.

In addition, the Xperia Play also has a gallery of special games that run directly on the Android OS instead of running via emulation. To access it, please slide the body and this smartphone will open a gallery of the game automatically.

Of the few games that are included in the package, we are quite happy because gaming buttons it really makes us like to play games with a handheld console. You'll also be able to play another game on the Android although not designed for Xperia Play. However, if you play such games, gaming control it can become dysfunctional.

In terms of design, Xperia Play has a look that is quite okay. The back is polished to give an impression of elegance, although it could not ignore the body behind it being a fingerprint magnet. Meanwhile, the sliding section that contains the buttons of his gaming become the largest contributor to the overall thickness of mobile phones. Unfortunately, this Playstation style controls was too small for us so that when the play is rather long, stiff fingers were attacking us.

As an Android smartphone, Xperia Play features a reliable hardware. The device is equipped with 1 GHz processor from Qualcomm MSM8655. This CPU is not the fastest, but it is sufficient to deliver good performance. Capacity of the system's main memory (RAM) 512 MB helped to multi-tasking performance can still run well. Evident when we use everyday, there is no means of annoying pauses. All activities run smoothly.

Multimedia business on Xperia Play seems to also be considered by the SE. With a loud stereo speakers, not just gaming, watching videos (with support up to 720p) or play music a lot more fun. Dock accessories available Xperia Play makes you appear more attractive on the table.This phone can be connected easily to the sound system via the stereo output jack on the dock. For now, the accessories are only available as a bundle package Xperia Play sales.(Karuna)****Characterized as a mobile gaming smartphone, Xperia Play is actually rather difficult to compete primarily on price segment. Playstation-style design concept is interesting. But on the other hand, to support the needs of gaming itself, the hardware specs Xperia Play arguably somewhat "mediocre". However, as a smartphone, Xperia Play is quite entertaining and satisfying.
The test resultsPlay Xperia performance in general fairly good, especially for running everyday applications. While the graphics unit belonging to the middle class is still able to handle a variety of recent games. This makes the Xperia Play can be relied upon as a smartphone for gaming.TestingSony Ericsson Xperia PlayToshiba VigoQuadrant Advanced Total16351854Linpack Single Thread38.31 MFLOPS40.01 MFLOPSMulti Thread- MFLOPS- MFLOPS2011 Productivity Smartbench12361003Smartbench 2011 Games14311348
