Sony Ericsson merges the smartphone with a portable gaming console, giving life to its first PlayStation certified smartphone, the Xperia Play. TechSmart puts in some game time with the smartphone.
PROS
Excellent display, game controls work great, camera takes great stills and videos, 1st PlayStation certified mobile device.
CONS
No mini HDMI, SoC only single-core, a bit bulky, poor front-facing camera performance and weak amount of internal storage offered.
VERDICT
This device manages to successfully merge the world of mobile and portable gaming with that of the smartphone. It could do with a bit more processing grunt to make it a little more future proof, but delivers an enjoyable on-the-go gaming experience.
