We recently reported that Xperia Arc owners had been experiencing problems while recording videos on their handset. We noted that Sony Ericsson were aware of the issue and working on fixing it, as of now we’re still waiting for this fix. However it’s since been discovered that the Xperia Play also faces the same problem. After recording a short video on the Xperia Play earlier today I found the same problems that were found on the Arc were present on the Play and have been in talks with a few other Xperia Play owners who have also confirmed they have the same problems while recording video.
While this isn’t good news and isn’t a good start from Sony Ericsson’s Xperia handsets, this does confirm it isn’t an issue with the camera on the Arc, as the Play uses a different camera and doesn’t record video in HD either. Hopefully the fix that Sony Ericsson are working on will also fix the issues on the Play as well, as both handsets have the same software version.
