Upgrade to xperia s?

Hi guys i just wanted to know if i should upgrade to the xperia s or wait for the xplay 2 to come out?Sent from my R800i using xda premium

Depends on if you're wanting a phone that can really play games or not. Though, since Sony Ericsson will soon be no more, it doesn't seem likely to me to see a 2nd gen PLAY

Could always upgrade and pick up a gametel gamepad to connect to the phone through bluetooth. Wouldn't be as good as a dedicated controller in the phone but a close second

Yes, upgrade to Xperia S
Xperia Play 2 won't be out before 7 mounths at least

I am already purchased a photon 4 g dual core 1 gb ram from ebay.
But xda defy forum is brilliant compared to photon forum.

Interested in This too
I want a phone that is similar to the defy in physical shape and durability, but with more power and mininimum jb as stock.
Have been loooking a bit on the xperia z, but it is not very rugged and rather big . and Ideally i want to wait until BT low energy Api becomes part of android.
i would disqualify Motorola for the way they broke ics upgrade promisises.. but i cant overlook just how much beating my defy have faced without a scratch... so if they are the only maker of a phone with those traits.....
Well for now i am running quarkx 4.1.2 and it is good enough for me.
Patience....

Moto Razr HD
already got it and its great... but i'm missing my good'ol defy...

...i'm not sure at the moment...
Moto X
Samsung S4 Outdoor
Samsung S4 Mini
Xiaomi MI-2s
HTC M4
Sony Xperia V
Sony Xperia L
Sony Xperia SP
It would be very nice if my next phone is waterproof.

Next Phone
I'm not sure if we get an option to buy the Motorola phones here in India, anybody who can throw some light on this is appreciated. I have a DEFY not planning to sell.
PS: Whenever I go to these stores here in India, the seller Moto models are not available & they don't stock it. I'm aware of Motorola closing doors here, but any other ways to buy?

As I generally avoid buying Samsung products, the only two phones that I consider at the moment are:
Razr HD
Xperia Acro S
Xperia V
While I really think that the Razr I is a nice phone, there is no CM for it yet (and I have my doubts that it will ever be).
For now, I stay with the Defy because of the form factor (for me, the size is just right) and the community.

I'm in two minds whether to buy it s3 or nexus 4!

Unlock Xperia Play on O2

Hi I found a good deal on an Xperia play that is locked to O2 (I need a replacement phone and I thought the Play would be a good choice). Is it possible to unlock the phone o be used on other carriers ?
Thanks

What version is it? R800i/x/a/at ?

Since it's o2 it will be gsm and the international version

what would you get next?

just noticed my contract is up after Xmas, so was looking at what next?
xperia z1, galaxy s4 or nexus 5?
or another?
I'm currently swaying towards the nexus, but I love that the z1 is water proof

Actually i would choose Nexus 5 ahead of the others.. Z1 is waterproof, but i don't think its really worth it.. 20mp isn't like what it should be.. And bootloader can't be unlocked since Camera will be damaged further.. SGS4 lacks quality.. Although it will receive some major updates for another 1 and half year atleast.. Nexus 5 is new and will get support for another 2 years or more without doubt because of Google.. Also Nexus 5 is coming with 4.4, which is much more faster and also new features already.. I am willing to sell my SXS and go for Nexus 5 soon which is also highly unlikely..

Id get me a ZU
Size
Power
Ugh camera... (only downside)
Style (i like sony UI)
Sonys amazing ram management
Or even a nexus 5 it has that google support behind it
Edit: i asked people about the ZU, alot of people said it was nice but the camera sucked (thread link below)

Well,ZU is considered a phablet,and it is perfect only if you are taking picture outdoors during daylight (since no flashlight)

@Ben36 well mate i suggest you to buy a nexus 5 because of the supported drivers, no update complaning and your love to pure android
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

@Ben36 Nexus 5 any day better than other options... U will be the first 1 to get all android updates
If u are considering Samsung, Note 3 is what I would suggest... screen quality is way better than SGS4 or Xperia Z1

I think definitely the nexus is the one too. unless there's anything due out that would be worth waiting for?

I would go for Z1...

Go for nexus

Aren't you people bored of Sony smartphones? I change manufacturer everytime, because I always need something new, something fresh, and Sony changes only hardware, software is basically the same for all their smartphones.

go for nexus if u want fast and latest android,samsung for heavy features that u mostly wont use and sluggish ui,sony is good but their software doesnt utilise the hardware,they dont use it in good way,and no timely updates.move to nokia lumia series if u dont want a smartphone hahahaha and iphone if u dont like messing with your phone :silly: for now nexus 5 or wait till xperia Z2(long time but our xperia s isnt slouch yet).i am just sad no good roms yet for xperia s,few are good but not as expected

so Nokia Lumia it is!

OMG.. There is nothing in Windows OS.. Except for Nokia's good camera, there is nothing else to boast of.. U better go with iPhone 5s which has cool features in iOS7 now or go with Nexus5..

Actually Dual boot is not that safe i guess.. Well, Android gives an app for everything.. Windows still has to emerge.. Not much changes can be made with UI.. Unlike Android, u can change UI to virtually any kind possible.. Although its always the one who's buying has to decide what his needs are.. If it were me, i would definitely go with Android first and then iOS as my 2nd.. Just my opinion..

I want a nexus now

Z1 or Nexus 5.
Loves z1 for wateproof, and nice camera.
But nexus 5 because of update and googles stuff.
