Compare Xperia ray Deals

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray is recognised as being one of the best mid-range Android smart phones on the market at the moment. It manages to cut down the costs associated with owning a powerful smart phone by getting a number of impressive features into a smaller package. So if you want largely identical features to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc but on a more affordable basis, then the Xperia Ray is sure to pique your interest.

With a 3.3-inch screen it is not the smallest handset around but it is still a good deal more compact than the four or more inch beasts which dominate the top end of the market. What makes the display impressive is its high 854x480 resolution, which means that there is plenty of detail packed into a relatively small space.

Android 2.3 is pre-installed and Sony Ericsson has added its own Timescape user interface over the top which makes it much easier to enjoy your social-networking, email, messaging and SMS services from one place rather than a host of different apps.

Thanks to a 1GHz processor the Xperia Ray runs quickly and without the lag you might experience on cheaper Android handsets. It can also use its eight-megapixel camera to record 720p video clips, which puts it right up there with the best models on the market when it comes to photography.

The fact that the Xperia Ray is wrapped in a chassis that measures under a centimetre thick is the icing on a particularly delicious mobile cake.
