i am interested to buy one of these and both of them falls in the same price, i do not care abut the cam since i have a digicam to handle and i do play games but i am not a hardcore gamer, so which do you guys suggest.
please dont suggest me any other phones
good idea man
If i were you, i would buy an Arc S, or else just the Arc
If you don't feel like playing a lot of games than the Arc will just do.
You can check here for more info
w w w.compare-cellphones.org/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-PLAY-vs-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-arc
any major differences between the two
Game controlls and thickness
I'd go with Arc as it's thinner and fits better into the pocket of jeans.

The Arc S and Arc or?
w w w.compare-cellphones.org/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-arc-S-vs-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-arc
definitely arc
mate, i would go with the arc. The arc s is not much different in my opinion from the arc (in terms of hardware) and its not really worth the price jump. i bought one for myself and my father (senior geek). im also going to upgrade my brother from x10 to arc.
iv had no trouble with it at all
I'd recommend the Xperia Arc S (LT18i).
It hasn't that much hardware changes, but in my opinion 30 $ for a better cpu and HSPA+ (Rel. 6 - 14,4 Mbit/s) is the money worth.
But you wanted to suggest Xperia Arc (LT15i) or Xperia Play (R800i), so I'd recommend the Arc, if you're not that hardcore gamer.
Hi Guyz,
I have come down to 2 phones .
My budget is 23k max .
1> SE Xperia Play
2> Galaxy R
I will be using the phone for atleast 2.5yrs until my graduation is over . This is my last investment on a phone
According to hardware specs its an obvious answer = Galaxy R
But the psp controls and the looks is pulling me towards Xperia Play .
So , Guyz plz I ask for your suggestions and thoughts .
Any other inputs regarding other mobile in that range will also help
Thanks in advance ,

If you mentioned the currency you use you would probably get better answers...
Well you said it yourself. The Xperia PLAY isn't as powerful, but it has a gamepad. The Galaxy R is slightly more powerful, but has no gamepad. It's up to you as to which suits you better. Personally, I think the Xperia PLAY is plenty powerful, and I love the physical gamepad. The PLAY is a bit thicker too, but that's to be expected because of its slide-out pad. If you simply want a phone that can do some other things on the side, don't get the PLAY. If you want a phone that can also easily play games, get the PLAY.
Emulators bro and old school fighting games and possibly newer ones . When you look into the android market it's like 90% games optimized for xperia play. Where do you see Galaxy R ? But that was a duche baggy marketing line.
If you Galaxy R you;'ll have a better screen, a better build quality, a better hardware set ( a bit more future proof) but you will never have the retro gaming experience the Xperia play has. Also many new games are being optimized for the play so you won't have problems for a while playing new games
Neither Xperia play nor Galaxy R
Wait for XPERIA PLAY 2
the xperia play is a good phone for emulators, gba roms etc. im planning to keep my play for a long time as i sold my psp and the let down of the sony vita.
if you just want a phone buy a average phone, if you want to play games get a play, the samsung looks great but you dont need all that hardware unless your playing games but then you lack a controller, gta3 is great on a play, abit of lag but its better than using the touch screen controls,i couldnt imagine clocking castlevania or many of my nes games with touchscreen.
23,000 Rupees indictates that the Play has not had a price reduction in India like it did in Europe. The Galaxy R is the better phone by and large, and I'd take it over the Play.
The controls are nice on the Play, shame emulators dont really support the touchpads.
Guyz whats the best deal for xperia play (GSM) ...
mostly in USA and UK ...
Those are the only places from where I can bring ...

hi, i just installed GTA III on my arc L15i, lags like hell, searched for fixes and installed one, lag is little bit less but still lags, tried overclocking cpu to 1.4 but still lags.
why?
Try V6 Supercharger and a couple of speed tweaks and see if the issue is still there.
My GTAIII is completely lag free.
GTAIII is litlle lagy..
My gtaiii lags when rain fall..but this is completly game for PC, not so much ported realy for PHONE...
only litlle modified..so be happy to run it anyway

Really? Have you V6 Supercharger installed?
I don't notice any lag except I have to much MODs (since 90% of all PC' MODs works for Android too ) running.
yea supercharghed :/
Version 1.0 is run great but not lag free ,u still can notice some lag.
Version 1.2 is lag like hell.
Sorry guys, then I cant help you too.
Maybe because I've a Arc S, but that shouldn't matter if you overclock to 1,4 GHz.
I just found out it runs good on iPod Touch 4G AND IT HAS AN 800Mhz CPU, there is little little lag in it but still runs good, WWWHHHYYY!!!

today i was using that ROM but I didn't try the game on it.
I can't try it now, I'm settled with my current ROM.

If they do the game for iOS they can optimize it much betterm as there are much less iOS devices than Android devices.
So it's more optimized for your iTouch than for your Arc.
Best GTA III experience do you get on the iPad 2. Believe me, buttery smooth.
But I don't game much, just bougt it to look at it and play a little sometimes.

GTA 3 is a game made for a dualcore processor...
But on my Arc i don't have a lot of lag, using arconium5.6, doomkernel v15 @ 1.4ghz and supercharger v6...
You can also delete the audio folder, or just delete the radio only
To delete the radio only, go to the audio folder, sort by largest files, and then don't delete the largest, but delete the 11 or 9 ( not sure ) files following than

The game is for Dual Core Phones, But it is also optimized to run on Xperia Play, and Only Xperia Play have Dual Channel Ram running @ 300mhz, that's why Playing games on Xplay is smoother than Arc or any 2011 Xperia out there

Okay, that's right, but every Arc or Arc S could play it quite smooth with some tweaks.
I'm not having any issue with stock GTAIII, and I've already seen a colleague with the SGS2 with more issues than me.
Future phones really need dual core processors, but imo current devices don't need it (I'm not talking about 2012 devices).
PS: I'm only posting my opinion, so don't come with some "you're a idiot" like in this very other thread.

thanks, but i guess the logical explaination is i fail to realised thats its laging
or maybe because i use link2sd for all my apps,kept ROM usage as low as posible..delete the catch often and kill all process before playing
Stock, no cpu changes, runs fine except when rain falls

Which one is better ? they are at the same price here in israel..
Arc s has bigger screen, better cam, faster processor, and better battery but on the other hand the Sola is duel core and has a fron-facing cam which the Arc S lacks.
which phone should i get ?
thanks.
At the end of day the decision is based on what you like... if you choose a phone that someone thinks is better and you choose that phone you'll probably wont like it
okay but the q's is what is better preformance wise ?
http://geekaphone.com/compare/Sony-Xperia-Sola-vs-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-arc-S
There's a comparison site, all in all, the processor makes the phone a lot faster, and whilst the Arc S is fast, the Sola has a faster processor due to it having two cores
I'd say Sola, but I own an Arc and I'm happy with it
Yes I was facing the same problem with this 2 phones...but I went with arc s ...and I am very happy ...its just as u said the sola is dual core and has front camera .I did not need this so I chose arc s...
Which one you buy depends on ur needs ...
Sent from my Arc S using xda premium
Thanks guys !
I think that i'll go with the Arc because of its faster processor (Arc S is faster than my current duel cored atrix 4G) and beastly camera !
If i wont have the money then i'll go with the sola (or if the sola gets ICS).
go for xperia go its for almost the same price tag
but better than both especially arc s
The arc does not have a faster processor, the Sola does, due to it having duel cores!
At least I think that's how it works haha, shares the workload between the cores, less work for the single core to do
The go cost a lot more here...
hey guys i am thinking to replace my phone galaxy ace s5830i for galaxy W
is this phone good and can play hard games smoth
and does have any bugs or problems ?
Without a doubt, the Ace is a nice little phone....but it's simply not as powerful as the W....the W does have it's drawbacks though.....
It'll never officially see an upgrade beyond Gingerbread..
Many users will mention the poor battery performance....when I owned my W, I replaced the battery twice. It also suffers from minimal user memory space (though this can be remedied by installing an external memory card and swapping memory in a custom ROM). In terms of gaming, out of the box....it suffers, but if you install a custom ROM, performance IS increased.....in short...the Galaxy W is a good choice for an upgrade at a reasonable price if you're prepared to tweak and modify it to bring it to it's full potential.....

does it is similar to s2 ? ? !
i heared that any game work on s2 it can also work on galaxy W is that real ?
I have heard the W being called the S2 mini....so in the same way that the S3 mini isn't quite as capable as the S3, the W isn't quite as capable as the S2. Lets face it, the S2 has twice the number of cpu cores and more RAM.....it's going to be a faster phone......
So to answer your question, some games that work well on an S2 will lag on a W.....

My opinion :
first, i donno how price W on your country. so it still depended on what you chosee soon,
second, im just give you opinoin about W, no offence.
my opinion
ace to W still same bro, even it have faster CPU and have more power in andreno 205
but it still better you choose HTC Desire HD, it have 785mb ram but still use same CPU and GPU
even this W is amazing 512mb can feel CM10.1 (ARCO IS AMAZING!).. but better you find phone at lease have 785mb RAM.

and W have full cm.9 ics and semi full cm.10 and cm10.1
and can play hard games smoth like ashplt 7 and modern combat 4 and nfs most wanted

S2 Mini? Youmad? Just kidding, but admit it, as a stock phone, its nothing compared to the S2. Now, new phones like Ace 2 (Screw you Samsung) and HTC One are taking over... And I feel that this is more worthwhile... W.... Eh, just use it for daily use like calling people or playing light games like Temple Run 2 or Nyan Cat. If you want smooth gameplay on RR3 and at the same time, good battery then go fly a kite. Yes, W is 'okay' for hard gaming, but its cuz we use ROMs like Velox or OOAK or RC6... There is bound, and yes I mean bound, to be lags in every heavy game this device runs.

Its also the problem of balancing performance with battery. I bet the ROM you used had way high battery usage....
