The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a Google Android-powered mobile with actual Playstation controls on it (for those that haven’t been drooling over it for some time now). Along with the large LED touch screen there are also a D-pad, the standard four PS symbols and left/right 
shoulder buttons for gameplay. There are also Select and Start buttons as you might expect and a couple touch sensitive pads that are to act like thumbsticks but don’t have a single game that uses them so far that I could see.
The Xperia Play Physically
It’s quite solid in construction and has a good feel and weight to it. The touch screen is quite responsive and for some games which don’t use the PS controls, it works rather well. Other games have a dual interface where they can be played with the buttons or you can make some menu choices with the touch screen instead. This saves a bit of time and some button clicking if you’ve got a lot of options.
The unit is, of course, piano black while the controls area is silver with white buttons but is said to also come in white (the review unit was piano black).
