An Overview Of The HTC Desire S And The Sony Xperia Play
|
Over the past 12 months we have seen dozens of high quality mobile handsets released. Unfortunately an elite group of smartphones tend to grab much of the media attention and over shadow some of their equally as impressive counterparts. Everybody know of models such as the iPhone 4S, the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Blackberry range but if you are prepared to delve a little deeper their are some excellent phones available and some of them at a fraction of the cost of the more famous models. We take a look at two such devices, the HTC Desire S and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.
The HTC S Desire is is a great handset that that combines a nice compact size with some excellent features. Many manufacturers seem a preoccupied with producing multi media beasts with very large screens but the negative effect of this is that the devices have become quite large. The Desire S is beautifully designed and incorporates a 3.7 inch screen which means that the model is small enough to be easily slipped into a suit jacket or a trouser pocket. The phone runs on the excellent Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system which means that it has access to the majority of applications and games titles that are available from the Android Market. The 1Ghz Scorpion processor ensures that the majority of these titles will run with no problems although some of the newer and more demanding games available may struggle on this phone. For the person looking for a high quality day to day phone this is the perfect device. The only people who should look elsewhere are gaming fanatics who require more processing power and a larger display.
If you are the type of person who uses their phone for mobile gaming then you may consider taking a look at a phone like the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play rather than the HTC Desire S. Rather than trying to appeal to the average phone user this model is unashamedly pitched directly at the mobile gaming market. The best way that we can describe this model is as a hybrid of the Sony PSP portable games console and a clam shell designed phone. Rather than relying upon the touch screen to house the controls this model features a gaming keypad which leaves the display free to show you all of the action. This model fell short of many peoples expectations but that was mainly because it was being compared to games consoles rather than mobile phones. As a mobile phone there really is no better model for gaming quality and power. A good selection of titles are available and as the model is now several months old the price has tumbled making it perfect for consumers looking for something a little different from the standard smartphone.
The HTC Desire S and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play are two superb mobile devices that are often overlooked in favour of their more famous siblings and rivals. The Desire S is really a superb device that offers a perfect blend of great design and features while the Xperia Play is something a little different with awesome mobile gaming capabilities.
