The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc boasts a number of features to keep users entertained for hours on end, in a variety of multimedia formats.

... played with the utmost sound quality, and there is even the option to assign your favourite track as your ringtone or message tone.

When you watch videos on the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, you are in for a real treat. Because the manufacturer has chosen to integrate its BRAVIA engine within the screen, you will be benefitting from Sonys many years of expertise in the television manufacturing industry. The result of this is crystal clear display quality with unsurpassed colour rendering and fantastic detail. The screen can support up to 16 million colours, so as you can imagine, the display quality is nothing short of amazing. This also makes the handset great for playing the several pre-installed games (with additional titles available for download), some of which offer an interactive experience by virtue of the built in accelerometer sensor being utilised for controls.

There is a useful app included as standard called TrackID. This is an amazing app which is sure to prove handy time and time again and also sure to impress your friends. If you hear a song but dont recognise it, simply open up the app and hold your phone near the speaker which is playing the music. TrackID will do the rest and display the details such as the songs title, artist and album etc. from there you can go on to purchase the track and download it, or forward the details to your friends.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc can also be connected to compatible hardware devices to make the most of your multimedia experience. Thanks to DLNA connectivity, you can view your photos and video on a compatible TV by wirelessly streaming them. You can also directly connect to a compatible TV with an HDMI cable.
