Albino Nexus S, meet your better specced, bleached out, dual-core nemesis — the mythical white Samsung Galaxy S II. The leaked snap is certainly timely, coming in only one day after a UK retailer promised the colorless beast would go on sale August 15th. Engadget can’t vouch for that, but we do know US peeps can now sign-up for “more info” on Sammy’s website, so stateside GSII fans should be hearing more from the company soon.

The Sony Xperia Arc has been highly anticipated for some time now; those who remember Sony Ericsson’s first stab at an Android phone (the Xperia X10) will be pleased to see the progress the company is capable of making in such a relatively short space of time. Unlike the X10, which suffered from glitchy software among a whole host of teething problems, the Xperia Arc is a polished product that is sure to make smartphone enthusiasts around the country very happy indeed.
The most immediate and striking features of the Arc are its almost unbelievable dimensions and weight; it is incredibly thin and incredibly light, weighing in at a mere 117g (which is lighter than its very light rival the Google Nexus S). Despite its lack of weight, there are plenty of goodies that have been stuffed into this sleek and stylish package; among them is a massive 4.2-inch screen, which looks fantastic and boasts a quality floating dock where programmes and apps can be accessed. This takes up the vast majority of the phone; in fact there are only three physical buttons to be found underneath. The buttons may not appeal to everyone: they are made from a solid silver plastic, which may seem a little cheap and hurried to those who prefer their smartphones to feel tough and sturdy – the main buttons are also backlit with a striking silver LED to help users find their way to them in the dark. The handset is powered by a single-core processor which is fairly quick and capable of handling most tasks with ease; there is also a large battery life which was notably absent in the earlier Sony smartphone models.
While some users may find that lack of home screens (there are a mere five available to choose from) and the text data entry system a tad old and clunky, many more will be thrilled to bits to get their hands on this sleek, cool and ultra-portable smartphone.
