Android Ice Cream Sandwich Operating System

The Sony Xperia SL runs the Android 4.0 operating system (dubbed Ice Cream Sandwich), which adds powerful new ways of communicating and sharing while improving on the best Android features: easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets, and more.

The new Ice Cream Sandwich interface features an onscreen navigation bar that replaces the hardware buttons for Back, Home, and Menu found with older Android-powered phones. And with Google+ integration, you can video chat with groups of up to 9 friends as well as easily upload and share photos and videos. Other features include:

Face Unlock

You can now unlock your phone with just your face using the Face Unlock option. It takes advantage of the front-facing camera and state-of-the-art facial recognition technology to register a face during setup and then to recognize it again when unlocking the device. Just hold your phone in front of your face to unlock (or use a backup PIN).

And the lock screen now lets you do more without unlocking. From the slide lock screen, you can jump directly to the camera for a picture or pull down the notifications window to check for messages. When listening to music, you can even manage music tracks and see album art.

Home Screen Folders

Quickly access related apps right from the home screen by organizing apps and shortcuts into folders--just drag one app onto another to create a folder.

Multitasking

Multitasking is even easier and more visual in Android 4.0. The Recent Apps button lets you jump instantly from one task to another using the list in the System Bar. The list pops up to show thumbnail images of apps used recently--tapping a thumbnail switches to the app.

Voice Input

The new voice engine in Android 4.0 lets you dictate the text you want, for as long as you want, using the language you want. You can speak continuously for a prolonged time, even pausing for intervals if needed, and dictate punctuation to create correct sentences. As the voice input engine enters text, it underlines possible dictation errors in gray. After dictating, you can tap the underlined words to quickly replace them from a list of suggestions.

Unlocked Phone

This phone is not locked to any specific carrier, and is sold as an unlocked smartphone. It can be used with a GSM network service provider. It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card from your selected service provider.

This phone is compatible with cellular networks that support GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS/HSPA Bands 1/2/5/8. In areas not served by a 3G data network, you'll continue to receive 2G data service (depending on network compatibility).

Note that the downloading of maps, games, music and videos and uploading of images and videos involves transferring large amounts of data. Your service provider may charge for the data transmission, and the availability of particular services and features may vary by carrier.

This phone comes with a standard 1-yr manufacturer's warranty for the U.S. included with original purchase.

Sony Xperia SL LT26II Unlocked Android Phone--U.S. Warranty (White) Review

Product had some issues but nothing major..
Display wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It is very crisp than any other phones but colors are not spectacular and seems washed out.
I switched to Xperia SL to Xperia Arc and even Arc seems to have more accurate colors than SL.

The phone feels very good but the overall build quality is just alright. Quite a lot of dirt might get into edges.

I was quite worried about the embedded battery since it's amount isn't very much (1750mAh) to power dual core processor and HD display.
However, sony did a good job of managing the better life quite well. It will last a full day use with normal usage[web browsing, txting and calling] w/ 50% brightness of the screen.

Snapdragon S3 1.7ghz dual core processor is quite outdated(2011) but the phone itself is pretty fast.
However, the phone has stopped and been non-responsive unexpectedly twice already and it was pretty frustrated since it's battery is embedded.
I don't know what's the deal with unexpected stop and it happens when i watch youtube videos.. hopefully sony will fix this problem by software update or something.

Navigation touch buttons on the bottom of the phone is not really responsive and you kind of have to figure out where the touch sensor is and then once your fingers get used to it, its no problem.

The camera takes little bit longer to capture and focus than such phones that has Snapdragon S4, S4pro, Nvidia Tegra3, Exynos 4412 Quad, A6 processors. (Ex. IPhone5, Galaxy S3, HTC OneX, LG Optimus G)
But the quality of the picture is comparable to any other phones.

Lastly, Design of the phone is the best out of all the other phones in current market right now.
Transparent bar at the bottom makes the phone look distinctive and unique. It's square and arc mixture of design makes it look very sharp, clean, and makes comfortable in your hand.
I would give this phone 3 and a half stars cuz of it's overall build quality and price but since there arnt any option for half star and I'm a sony fan so.. yeah:]
If you are a sony fan and care about the design the most then this is it.

Pros.
-Unique & distinctive design
-Matt finish and rounded arc design makes not slippery and comfortable in your hand.
-Camera
-Battery life
-Clear and loud speaker
-High density pixels(342ppi) HD display

Cons.
-Colors of the display is not as accurate and seems to be washed out.
-Unexpected stop issues
-Non-responsive navigation touch sensor.
