The camera can shoot 720p HD video and has an LED flash, touch-to-focus, and image stabilization. The Xperia Arc S has a 4.2-inch Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It will ship with Sony's Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited services, which provide access to music and video content. The Arc S will ship in two variants, including a quad-band 800/850/1900/2100MHz UMTS/HSPA version for use on U.S. networks. All variants include Bluetooth, GPS, FM radio, and Wi-Fi.
