Sony Ericsson’s Xperia line of smartphones has given the company a much needed boost in terms of sales. Indeed Sony Ericsson is going to concentrate solely on smartphones from mid-2012 onwards so you can expect them to put all their eggs in one basket. The Xperia Pro is a rather chunky phone if you compare it to the latest range of thin and light smartphones. It was probably the first thought that came to my head as I held the phone in my hands, the second was how heavy it was in comparison to the arc S, but it’s not like they are priced to compete against each other. Although there isn’t an Arc in the name, similar to the arc S I previously reviewed, this phone has a slight bend in the back so it appears that the phone is thinner than it actually is, but that did not detract from the chunky feel it gave me. I received the silver version to review but I have seen the black color in stores and the black does look better on this phone despite the fact that the smudges will be more apparent. Overall, apart from the Arc on the back there isn’t much to talk about in regards to the phone’s looks. It’s still a good looking phone but in today’s theme of thinning mobiles, this one has gone the other way.
