It has benchmark test because it uses Snapdragon S3 but NO battery test and NO audio quality test. Why?!

Hey guys
To people who say less battery backup....
Guys check the display and audio quality as it is far better than sg s 3 according to me.
Moreover it is the only brand that manufactured dust and waterproof phone and all the thickness is for proper protection of hardware.

To be honest, the lack of sales of the xperia acro s will be because of xperia v, people will definitely hold out for that model if they intend to purchase acro s, those that will not be affected are people that aren't interested in the extra performance, but then again, acro s is nowhere near the radar of "slow" and doesn't deserve to be called mediocre either, here in the Philippines it is currently priced at 24500, top dogs such as s3 are priced well over 30000, that aside I believe for sporty type people I think there is no better phone as of the moment than acro s or v, Imagine having to answer an emergency phone call in the rain without worries, now that I think is reliable...

The "... This phone may not shake SG 3...." which SG3 model are we talking here? The quad core Samsung presented as SG3 to the world? Or the dual core model they're selling in north America instead? I bet you the test scores are Sony against the quad core window front sg3 not the dual core that's being sold.

BATTERY is a concern at the end. which is not mentioned at all in the conclusion. i have a sony phone and battery life is not that great as compared to other adroid smart phones. Standard battery, Li-Ion 1910 mAh

what a fail. i don't understand who is *slow* enough to give this s*itload of money for these mediocre specs when you can go for double value (not to say quad eheh) for this money. sony needs to change their politics, this take the money and run approach is offesnive treatment of potential customers.

Unfortunately, this device does not support ANT+, so this is not a worthy successor to the SonyEricsson Active. Abandonment of ANT+ protocols is abandonment of sport funs market.

"Still, if you are the careful type, you will probably find better value for your money elsewhere. It's not that the acro S fails in any aspect of its performance as a smartphone, but it doesn't exactly excel either - while some of its price point peers do." Perfectly said!

I don't find deals and prices for it in UK http://www.rightmobilephone.co...y-Deals.html but what I'm feeling it'll be just as relatively expensive as all other Sony devices.
