But there's another winner from the soon-to-be-just-Sony brand, with the Xperia Ray winning more than a few admiring glances.
It's got the innards of the Arc, plus the same pixel count - in a much smaller screen. That means the display is pin sharp, and while a little small compared to the competition, it's a very pocketable affair indeed.
The 8MP camera isn't as strong photographically as its rivals, but it still delivers quality snaps for a cheaper price tag.
