Summary

When looking at the nuts and bolts of what makes the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY, one can see that it is a well put together smartphone. The slide out game controls work well, the games run great on the device with the 1 GHz processor. The display is a decent size at 4 inches while also providing good picture quality, then throw in an updated version of Android 2.3 and the overall picture of the phone looks good. This smartphone provides a half/half experience between a phone and a portable gaming device. If your interested in buying this phone you have to ask yourself are you fine with having a little bit of both worlds or would you prefer a device that is simply just a smartphone or a gaming device?
