As for shooting video, almost the same settings are available here as in photo mode. The maximum resolution for videos is 1280x720 at 30 frames per second. In addition to it, you can set 854x480, 640x480, 320x240 or 320x240.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is based on a Qualcomm QSD8255 processor operating at 1 GHz, as well as a 512 MB RAM array. A nice addition to the powerful hardware is the use of the latest version of Android - 2.3 Gingerbread. All pages in the browser (with Flash support, of course) open quickly, and navigation through them occurs without delay. Compatibility with the entire range of applications from the Android Market is guaranteed.
One of the strengths of the model is its expanded multimedia capabilities - this is especially true for the Android platform, which is often characterized by insufficient support for media functionality. Arc has one of the best photo modules, which has already been mentioned, as well as a microHDMI connector responsible for transferring images to external media. In addition, the manufacturer has provided a proprietary software shell that hides the classic Android interface. It is built on a combination of two applications: Timescape and Mediascape. The first collects information about activity in connected social networking accounts - Facebook, Twitter. Information about calls and SMS has also been added to the general feed. Thus, the entire history of any “social” changes or actions is collected on the screen, which is very convenient. It was disappointing that Timescape's functionality is noticeably inferior to dedicated clients for working with social networks; in fact, you can only read a new message. To view a photo or web page, you do not use this interface, but a standard browser.
Mediascape offers an alternative interface for viewing your gallery and music library. The interface offered by Sony Ericsson is almost in no way inferior to HTC Sense, which has already become the standard for Android add-ons. The latter just looks prettier, especially its latest version. However, from the point of view of customization and customization of the shell, we see complete parity. By the way, specialists from Sony Ericsson have adjusted their interface to low-resolution screens in a very interesting way, namely, to the Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro smartphones. However, we will talk about them in a separate article.
In general, despite the fact that the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is no longer a hot new product, it is very good and interesting. Some might argue that it does not have a dual-core processor, unlike flagship solutions from other manufacturers. This is true. But essentially, what does this change? There are still very few applications that take advantage of the potential of two cores. The available performance is enough for any task. The design is beautiful and unusual. Sony Ericsson cares about the appearance of its devices like no other. In principle, there can be no comparison with similar bars from Samsung or LG. The camera is objectively one of the best in the Android environment. Well, the price has already dropped a little. For example,

At the beginning of 2011, a smartphone was presented at CES in Las Vegas, which quite unexpectedly became one of the main trends of the entire event. The fact is that at that time it was the thinnest smartphone in the world (8.7 mm), the only one that ran on Android 2.3, and also had Sony’s parent technologies: Sony Exmor R camera sensor with backlight technology, BRAVIA mobile engine for post-processing the image on the screen in view mode. We have already published very detailed material about this smartphone, and with the advent of a commercial sample, all that remains is to check the battery life and the quality of pictures and videos.
At the top end there is a power button, a micro-HDMI connector under a plug (this connector is needed to connect to a TV for video playback). On the right side there is a micro-USB, volume control and camera/shooting keys. Standard set. It's a pity that the 3.5 mm mini-jack was moved to the side, now it's on the left side. Connecting headphones has become less convenient. You'll have to look for headsets with angled connectors, because the included earbuds aren't suitable for everyone.
Here is another nod to the developers; good cameras (and especially good video and sound recording) for Android smartphones are an absolute rarity. More precisely, there are simply no devices with normal video on the market, and we could see this even in the example of LG Optimus 2X and Samsung Galaxy S II, which record in Full HD (1080x1920 pixels), but do not differ in quality. Sound recording on all modern Android flagships is terrible, loud sounds turn into wheezing and clanging, you shouldn’t even think about recording at concerts and parties. In X10 the situation was not bad, but 720p recording was added only 8 months after release, with an update to Android 2.1.
From the start of sales, it will run the latest version of the OS, Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread. On top of standard Android there is a custom interface, as well as a proprietary Timescape application, just like in the Xperia X10. The widgets have changed, I liked the gallery widget in the form of a thumbnail wheel, it is convenient to view images and videos directly in standby mode.
