The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is the first ever PlayStation Certified Android Smartphone. What does this mean? It is the first device to feature full fledge PlayStation games and supports analog gaming hardware with a slide out game controller featuring a D-pad, analog disc for 3D control, circle, X, square & triangle buttons, L & R shoulder button. To give mobile user a full PlayStation gaming Experience
Hardware
The PlayStation controller layout is as you would expect. with your traditional square, circle, X & triangle buttons, a separated D-pad and two surface disks to mimic analog sticks. There are also start and select buttons and a settings button for the controller. So far the Xperia Play feels comfortable In the hands, will have to give if some extended time playing with the devices to see how well it fairs. But I can say it does have a very solid hardware and feels like a portable gaming device. For a more on the hardware please check out our Full Hardware tour of the Xperia Play
Conclusion
What do I make of the Sony Ericsson Xperia play. As a smartphone, it hands that well, running a stock version of Android 2.3. The device runs smooth and experiences little to no hiccups. its got a decent camera which takes good still pictures but I am surprised Sony didn't include HD record to the device.
On the game side of things, its got very good hardware that full represent what gaming on PlayStation is all about. What a comfortable button lay out. Its good Sony add six title preloaded to give user a good idea of what to expect. The down side are the games themselves which don't give a true representation of how power a gaming Platform the Xperia Play can be. Also the lack of connectivity to the PSN(PlayStation Network) is a missed opportunity by Sony. Not leveraging the value of the Playstation ecosystem to add more gaming content to the Xperia Play. which only has 50 games available to download via V-cast. Don't get me wrong the Xperia play is a solid Android Smartphone and a good gaming device, but it really isn't the best in both or either segments. which puts the device in the middle of the pack.
