2011-04-03
hey everyone Danny websphere from pacu now calm and this is the hardware review of the sony ericsson xperia arc and this particular version that we have here is the international version which may vary when it comes to the state's into other countries so let's get to it so some preliminary specs to the Xperia Arc it's running at one gigahertz processing speed thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255 processor we also have 512 megabytes of wrong of which 300 about 300 megabytes are accessible to install applications and whatnot we also have 512 megabytes of RAM so if we start at the top we have our light sensor along with our proximity sensor we have our headset speaker here a little sony ericsson emblem we also have a 4.2 inch glass capacitive multi-touch screen which is running at FWVGA resolution so that's 480 across x 854 and height on the bottom we have our back button these are non capacitive buttons well serve our home button and our menu button any little Xperia emblem down at the bottom there are two little LEDs in between these three buttons which help distinguish in low-light situations which button you're pushing on the top of the device we have our power standby button and we also have our micro HDMI port unfortunately this device didn't come with a cable so I'll either have to order one on ebay or something to test it out we also have on this side we have an LED notification light that turns on when you have a message or you're charging we have our micro USB port we have our volume rocker and we also have a dedicated camera button on the bottom of the device we have our primary microphone we also have an attachment area that you can attach a lanyard to which we don't see too often on phones anymore we also have a tab to remove the battery cover on this of the device we don't have really much of anything except for the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack on the back of the device we have an 8 megapixel camera that's also capable of recording at 720p video resolution we have our LED for the camera and we also have another microphone for the noise cancellation speakerphone we have the Xperia emblem here and a little tiny sony ericsson decal underneath that we have our speaker for our audio playback let's take off the battery cover here it's a plastic battery cover and as you can see the design is kind of dang it goes from a darker metallic to a more silver metallic so we'll just pop this off and it's a little bit tricky amuse my fingernail here okay so there we go we have our standard sim slot we also have our micro SD card which is expandable up to 32 gigabytes and it does come with an 8 gigabyte micro-sd card pre-installed the battery is a 1500 mill and our lithium polymer battery which sony ericsson claims is able to give up to 7 hours of talktime and around 400 hours of standby time so just close that up so the dimensions of the Xperia Arc is 63 millimeters across by 125 milliliters in height and eight point seven millimeters at the thickest points which is at the top and the bottom of course we do have this concave design and it is a little bit thinner in the center that's where we get the Xperia Arc name the radio is powering everything is we have an FM radio in which you can use the included headset as the antenna we also have Wi-Fi b/g/n Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and we also have quad-band GSM along with this is the international version so long with 920 100 megahertz UMTS bands when it comes to the states we should have 3g bands in the 850 900 and 2100 it also has assisted gps an accelerometer and a digital compass so this has been the hardware review of the sony ericsson xperia arc and if you like our videos make sure you go as a thumbs up and also leave some comments down below if you missed the unboxing you can check it out in one of the links right about here and stay tuned for the software tour where we go through all the android 2.3 software and everything else that's included on the sony ericsson xperia arc thanks for watching
