There are a lot of reasons to love this phone, but with these tips and tricks, you are going to love it even more.

1. Widgets

b. Weather Widget provided by Sony delivers up to four-day forecast, including the current day's daytime and night-time weather. Unlike the browser version, the Weather Widget is much more appealing with its beautiful transition.

c. Photo Widget displays a set of images on the home screen. You can swipe up or down to view the thumbnails of the entire gallery.

d. Pinch the home screen and it will display all your widgets. Give it a shake to make them fly across the screen.

2. Camera Auto Focus
This is now a very common feature provided by many devices today, but for Sony Xperia S, auto focus has many functions.

a. Touching the screen where you want to the camera focus is the standard option for usual cases.

b. Use the Normal mode to choose what kind of auto focus you desire. You can choose through the Menu and then Focus mode. Then it will display five selective options for the best capture.

c. Single Auto Focus for a particular point of the shot or Multi Auto Focus for a larger focus point.

3. Lock screen Camera Quick Shots
Even if Sony Xperia S is locked, you can still use the camera app by pressing the camera button. The device instantaneously snaps for a quick capture and generates an impressive photo with details even under a miniscule amount of time.

4. Activate Music Player on the lock screen
You can activate the music player even the device is locked. Use the screen on the device and swipe left on the clock to view the music player control. From the lock screen controls, you can now start playing your favourite songs.

5. Changing the Themes and Live Wallpaper Tones
The live wallpapers by Sony is pretty and dynamic on your touch, but it can be boring later on with its same old colour. Hold press on a blank area on the home screen and select "Theme." Select which theme you want to change the live wallpaper and the overall accent of the system menu.
