Hello!
Please tell me which games are there which I can't play on ARC while I can on PLAY?
Please name such games if you can.
I am about to buy any one of these tommorrow, and don't know which to prefer; here is a little comparison, please correct me if I am wrong and also mention something I might have missed;
ARC :
Great body design
Great body material
Great Camera
Poor sound
No gaming Pad
Larger Screen
Not so good Web experience
Not so good Touch Interface
Radio
PLAY :
Average body design
Poor body material
Average Camera
Great sound
Gaming Pad
Average Screen
Great Web Experience
Great Touch experience
No Radio
Also tell me is there any difference between them as far as the user experience is concerned, I mean any application or function or anything that ARC has and Play don't or vice versa?
How much do they differ as far as the browsing experience is concerned?
So far Arc is winning, I guess, but now it all depends upon the games. That's is why I am contacting you all. I mean I am interested in Star Battalion and Asphalt (which from what I know can be played on ARC), and not much interested in Crash Bandicot.
Please reply soon.
Thanks in advance.
Can you tell me why you think the play has better web experience then the arc I think the specs of the same are they not ?

Hello!
I don't know really.
I guess I got the impression from the fact that SE's official site says that PLAY is a great web experience on top of great gaming experience. And also from a video which showcased some downsides of ARC's browser versus that of IPhone 4 but couldn't find any video doing the same for PLAY.
I have to Disagree on some of your Points there on Arc
Poor sound

You must not say POOR in General because for a Single Loud Speaker Arc Speaker is One of the Best out there, Dont' compare Single to Stereo Speaker, but Yes Xperia Play's Speaker is The Best Speakers on Mobile Phone out there.
Not so good Web experience

Of course Bigger screen means Better Web Experience IMHO, I don't see why Arc will not do better than Play?
Not so good Touch Interface

All Xperia right now have The Same Excellent Touch Interface, but Most Xperia's out there are Applied with Shatter Proof Sheet on a Mineral Glass that protects the screen, that could slightly decreases Touch Performance
IMO Both Phones are Great except they are focused on Different markets
Arc as the Camera/Video Stylish Phone and Play as the Gaming Phone Equipped with Superb PS controls and LOUD Stereo Speakers
but overall Experience is Great
You can also visit my youtube channel to see Arc in Action for Games

I think you forget to mention that play does not support Brave Engine and i think both device has pretty good sound too. Just get to the store and try it.
Hey lol im facing the exact same crisis! I've kinda decided on the arc. Some of your points are not true mate. The arc web browsing is better. What the play has that the arc doesn't are the dedicated gaming controls and stereo speakers. By no means are the arc speakers bad. Don't pay much attention to the SE website.. they promote their phones as much as they can. For the xperia x8 they say access to thousands of apps on the market. That doesn't mean the androids don't lol. Arc has a brilliant camera, based on personal usage better than the N8 I don't know how.. 12mp vs 8 and even the owner of the N8 reluctantly admitted the arc camera was better. Arc has the exmor sensor and BRAVIA engine while play has no sensor, but has a BRAVIA port. Doesn't Work that great imho. Very little difference. Also keep in mind though that in bright light, bravia might not be good. It overdoes things sometimes and you can't turn it off. I'd love some feedback to this thread from arc owners, IV already got some from play owners. I think I'm gonna go with the arc cos I'm not a hardcore gamer and the arc screen is big enough to support touch controls on normal android games. Fpse can be a problem but I doubt I'll ever use it. Also, I doubt the play can support ps2 and psp games.. so I'm reluctant to get one. There may or may not be any exclusive games being released for it.. would be a HUGE disappointment to play owners. When it comes to custom roms and kernels, it appears the play has a bit more support I assume.. this is just my 2 cents.. would value other opinions very much.
Edit- arc touch interface is awesome. It's bloody brilliant. And it can detect more that 2 fingers simultaneously. Only negative point I have about the arc- in SOME models, hairline cracks appear in the housing. Just google it. It's quite rare.. and you won't notice it in most cases. If this doesn't bother you, it's fine. It doesn't affect performance or anything at all. It wouldn't bother me.. I wouldn't even notice lol. Yea.. thats my 2 cents.
price is a constant too, the arc is cheaper

Thanks! Did not know that
Hmmm.... are you satisfied with your arc? Any main advantages/disadvantages?
About price - the arc came out at a significantly increased price when compared to the play. However, prices around now are the same. (In my country at least)

No problem. Actually I also had my dilema choosing Arc or Play these were the phones available at that time when i was going to replace my X8, I read a lot about these phones, and their price is almost the same $520 Arc and $525 Play, but i bought the Arc instead with lots of personal preferences, and yes I play a lot.
Yes I am very pleased with my Arc, not just by the looks of it, Performance is great and par on most dualcore phones out there.
Drawbacks? Cracks appearing and chrome peeling that will show around 2 to 3 months, cracks can be serious issue to most people, it hit hard on Midnight Blue version, and rare on Misty Silver, and I chose Misty Silver because of that.
IMO Chrome peeling is not new to us, i Also had some Chrome peeling in my Previous phone.
My Arc was up for 267Hrs before i encountered a random Reboot, I think that's Normal

Hmmm... I want to buy the midnight blue.. Silver doesnt look that great but the cracks are a problem.... Guess ill decide that when I go to buy it..
Do you regret not buying the Play? Or would you choose the arc over the play again? Also, what games do you play? HD? And are they completely lagless?

Oh yea you should replace that X8, too bad X8 was a great contender last year for Mid Range phones, but they didn't supported it well and it's like a Dead on Arrival Phone
Here is my Personal Youtube Channel
It Includes Unboxing, Quick Review(No voice though, Im Shy ) and lots of GAMES! Please Rate and Share too
I only encounter Lags when playing Asphalt 6, maybe because this game is not for Arc, and because this game is for Xperia Play Optimised, but still playable and it rarely lags.
If i could own Both that would be nice
Hmm.. Have you overclocked? Or it lags a little on stock rom with 1Ghz default clock

No, I stayed on Stock Rom 2.3.3 and No Root , Still waiting for a Rootable 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 when time comes
Xperia Play Handles Games and Task very well because it is the only phone out there that uses a dual channel DDR2 memory working at 300 Hertz, that Improves Performances a lot and can perform Heavy Task.
Thats why Playing games on Play is Optimised and stayed @ 60FPS Refresh Rate.
One Very Big Pro for Xplay

The play has bravia engine since doomlord ported it
IMO the Play and the Arc are both excellent devices. But they are aimed at two totally diffrent markets. The Play has been heavly optimised for playing games. (stereo speakers, dual channel ddr2 memory). But unless you intend to play alot of games on your phone, i see no reason to buy a play over an Arc. I love playing games on my play. And could never go back to touchscreen games now
If you want to game a lot --> Play is for you because of the controla
If you want to use it as a normal smartphone, texting, browsing, gaming sometimes Arc is the way to go imo.
I don't regret getting my Arc and it's fast @ 1GHz but of course it's even snappier @ 1.2GHz
Mine midnight blue Arc has the crack but it's not that visable (most of my friends don't see it, even if you say them there's a crack).
Arc rocks, but both devices are great.
Day to day performance should be exactly the same on Arc and Play due same specs and same using experience.

Actually I Play a lot but I did chose Arc over Play because of these Factors
>Size
>Weight
>Screen Size
>Screen Brightness
>Clear Black Panel
>Bravia Engine
>8MP Exmor R
>HD Recording
>HDMI Port(Bonus for Me)
>Style
Over
>PS Controls with Touch pads
>Stereo Speakers
>Exclusive Games and PS Suite
>Dual DDR2 Memory Channel
>Front Facing Camera
Put Those Arc Features in Play, I will choose Play Anytime
They could easily put some of those features and make Play as their Flagship phone?
Just Imagine All those Arc Features(not the Size and Weight) in Play
Those of you who have the play- (AndroHero I think)
Will the play be able to support PSP and PS2 games? Its my biggest concern about the Play. I saw a video on youtube - Modern warfare for xperia play. I know it was fake but the graphics :O:O:O:O:O:O Will the play ever actually be able to do that? Or will there most probably be a play 2 that will..?
My conclusion (so far) - The Play's gaming controls make it an ultimate portable gaming experience and you can thrash other players in online/multiplayer FPS games. The DDR2 RAM eliminates the lags that you very very rarely see on an xperia arc. And you get a tiny not-very-good front camera that Ill never use. The games can be played on both devices extremely well. Day to day performance is the same.
So...
Camera (really awesome cam) vs gaming controls.
Great.. Im exactly where I started out :/
Thanks all for the help More opinions always welcome. Im begging for them actually... It'll be my first high end android and I dont want to regret buying it or later thinking damn I should have bought the <insert name of what I didnt buy>
Edit- how is the support for the 2 devices when it comes to custom roms, kernels, etc?
Ive searched the forums for both, theres one note-worthy kernel (doom), one FXP rom each and the play has 2 or 3 others. Are roms for the arc in progress? Or is the stock rom brilliant as it is? Sorry for the *noob* questions. But Ive done the searching and researching and I want confirmation and stuffs I didnt know. New to the forums here etc etc
You can share your reviews,saves,info,tricks here and discuss about the game
Lets see how it works on our SGS2

For mobile phones, unfortunately, yes.. because they don't require such complex controls that action games need.. the screen size are limited on mobile phones so i never enjoyed games such as Max Payne and GTA.. asphalt series and other racing games, however are acceptable, but they're heavy and eats battery a lot..
So i prefer casual and simple games.. If you're into heavy gaming i suggest you to get a tablet instead..

Besides that, iOS developers have only a few products to deal with... 3GS, 4, 4S, the 3 editions of iPads and iTouch, whereas Android has several manufacturers with a gazillion phone models to work with, with different hardware specs and OS versions as well. So try to be in Gameloft's shoes for a sec. Besides, we don't want a released (paid) app that's full of bugs anyway.
I tweeted gameloft and just got a reply now
We have hit a slight delay with the android release, we anticipate it will be available by the end of this week.
Wow. This is going to be cool. Even better then those so called "Need for Speed" for PC. [after carbon, all nfs sucks. Best nfs: most wanted]

Well, I connect my device with my led tv and a gaming pad. But dude, you can be great at anything. These are crap excuses!! I mean you say that games are hard...ya, but not impossible, man!
You can find multiplayer mode players there who are just damn great.
So, you people just accept that you can't do that.
You are blaming gameloft for making that type of games that you can't play!!

i'm not saying GL can't make games that playable, imo playing such games on a phone wont give you the best 'possible' result.. you definitely never play the same game on a different device.. that's why i recommend to play it on a tablet instead..
i may not be the best player/gamer but i choose not to.. sometimes it's boring and other people don't even care if you're that good.. i experienced this many times on numerous online games i've played.. now i play none of them..
oh, you have a TV and a gamepad.. but for gaming from a phone? seriously? PS3/X360 looks very outdated now..

m thinkin of getting xperia play but the phones of the same price range got dual core processors... only thing for which m considering xperia play is obviously its gamepad... so wat do u guys say... should i get a xperia play or just move on to other phones? se didnt gave ics update to it... can i expect jellybean workin on this device or its hardware is outdated for tat?
If you're more a gamer than a phone user, buy the Play. If you're more a phone user than a gamer, buy a different phone.
This device is designed with gamers in mind, that's why they included a gamepad with it. And do not worry about cores, most games that are Xperia Play-compatible work pretty good on it.
Devs are hard at work porting Jellybean to the Play. Amazingly, Jellybean is much faster than ICS and possibly even faster than Gingerbread (but we'll see if that one holds up). I think you should get the Play, if you want to play games on it. Dual core phones just don't hold a candle to physical buttons
Plus u can laugh at people who need to touch their phone screen to play games. Even if their hardware is powerful n all, i consider touching screen to play games is LAME!!!
i rather use a play than s3. SERIOUSLY.
I love my phone so much I have no interest in another touchscreen only phone. Truthfully... when my contract end in 6 months I plan on getting the AT&T play and using it on T-Mobile. I don't care if there is a galaxy s4 out or not. This phone rocks and the devs are doing a fantastic job with the PLAY.

actually , if you are looking for childish gsmeloft's games ( i never like gmelotf's games ) , yeah ' time to buy a dual core phone
but if you like the consoles game ,snes,MD,n64,ps1,GBA, SCUMM engine games like monkey island ... don't hesitate , buy a xperia play and enjoy , cause you never will have fantastic experience (like xperia play ) on other smartphones (( if you are a gamer ))
i, personally will wait till end of the world for xperia play 2 , or a smartphone like that ...
Don't buy the Xplay as an upgrade. You're going to regret it. If anything, get it from eBay or Craigslist. It's totally not worth using an upgrade for it. Save up for a good much newer phone that will actually last you and keep up with times for the next 2 years.
It's good for games and emulators, but with lots of play expect to stay plugged in somewhere or have your phone drain pretty quick.
And no, you will not get jellybean. You will get ICS from here, but expect few things to be broken. Sony will probably release a newer Gingerbread rom but that's it.

Be or not to be that's the.......
If you're a gamer and like all the retro stuff than of course take the PLAY. I think till today this little wonder handle all games not much more bader then the dual cores. Of course in the future threre wiil be more havier gAmes which the PLAY can't handle and for that reason there's only one opportunity "HOPE"
for a second more powerfull device with an gamepad (tried to play with touchscreen but that isn't gaming for me just ****). But if such an device never come then my PLAY still is andwill be the best mobile emulator machine!!!

Kudos!!!
Im considering buying the phone, im coming from an old ****ty blackberry. All I want to do is:
1) Make phonecalls
2) Be able to play games properly (touchscreen gaming is retarded). I want emulators (SNES, Megadrive, Neogeo, PSX...) and some ports from classic game like DoomGLES or the Duke Nukem 3D one.
3) No need to carry a Gametel/similar device and attach it in your phone everytime you want to play/detach it everytime you want to put it back to your pocket
The only 2 problems i have with the phone:
1) Carmageddon is the most hardware demanding game I want to play. I love this game so I want smooth gameplay. I was about to buy the device when I saw this video:
youtube dot com/watch?v=1Mrbrk8MU_Q
The performance is **** (20fps) even if it's OCd to 1.5 (I dont want to OC a smartphone to consume more battery life).
The weird thing is, i've heard some people saying it plays smooth on their Xperia Play even at stock speed, which is really weird. Anyone that has an Xperia Play can test the game and ideally upload a video? (it may be smooth for you in that video, but for me it's crap)
Also I would like if someone can confirm if the controls work using GameKeyboard.
Here is a free demo:
play dot google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stainlessgames.carmageddonfree&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zdGFpbmxlc3NnYW1lcy5jYXJtYWdlZGRvbmZyZWUiXQ
Here is the full version if you want to buy it:
play dot google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stainlessgames.carmageddon&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zdGFpbmxlc3NnYW1lcy5jYXJtYWdlZGRvbiJd
Here is GameKeyboard:
play dot google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard&hl=en
2) The second problem I have is, im not sure if the screen of this device is good enough. On this video comparation, it looks pretty crappy next to the Galaxy S3:
youtube dot com/watch?v=siCskfSR8dc
The colours look so off. Also, you guys experiencie problems when trying to use it outdoors? (reflections, sun etc...) I remember with the original PSP, it was pretty useless outdoors.
Also, I discovered this device recently:
youtube dot com/watch?v=fI-5lzYeWpY
This could be an Xperia Play killer. The only reason to get an Xperia Play is for the sliding attached gamepad, the rest is outdated, but finally someone got this right and made a gamepad that is attached to the actual phone and you don't need to remove it everytime you want to put the phone on your pocket. The problem is, it's for the Iphone, we don't even know when it will be out for Android and what devices they will be supporting, and we don't know if it will be useable with emulators, ports and third party stuff with gamekeyboard or it will be locked to a certain list of ****ty modern games.
Thanks
Help please, is just too confusing. Some people are saying "yeah, it works perfect". Then on that video, it works really bad.
The play is good for everything you wanted but you are right its limited by hardware so newer games won't work so well on it

Im really confused, because some people say the game is smooth (for me, smooth is 60 fps) but this guy as tried it with the Xperia Play overclocked to 1.5ghz and it goes sometimes to 12 or so fps during crashes, it really sucks.
If the Xperia Play can play this game smoothly then I will buy it, if not, im not really sure what im going to do. I may wait for Bladepad to come out for android, so I pick up a S3 for a good price + this:
This could be the Xperia Play killer. Imagine the hardware of the S3/S4/Nexus + sliding pad. But im not sure when it will come out for Android, if it will be useable for non officially supported games... etc.
Ill test it for you. It could he laggy for that fit if yes using a ics or jelly bean rom. Im using gb so ill test it

Ok that link worked im going to test it as soon as it downloads the 80 mb and then ill tell you how it goes

Ok the game was laggy at stock clock bit overclocked to 1.4 ghz min. 249 with gin2jellybean rom it ran at a pretty playable speed but id say to be better of with a newer phone because there is still some slight lag at some points like when another cast hits you. But id say its still worth it just for the awesome emulators since all of them work great and there's even a psp emulator with some games that are playable. If you can find one at a reasonable price like 50-100 dollars id say you should get it

Damn. I dont know what to do now. I really love that game, but love the built in gamepad for the Xperia... if the Bladepad comes soon for Android I may regret buying a Xperia..

Well what's your budget? Im sure you can find a cheap one on eBay and then still be able to buy a newer phone later and sell the xperia. If you overclock to 1.5 the game is playable very smoothly but again the play doesn't have the best looking screen compared to others so even then you might not enjoy it as much. Also that game didn't support the gamepad you have to use touchscreen and it was hard on a 4 inch screen so there's no point in the play for that game

I could spend like 150€ tops, not more.
You said 50-100, but the cheapest I can find in Ebay is 127€, used and + shipping

There was someone on xda willing to sell theirs for 50$. Try looking on amazon. Since you're in Europe ( I'm assuming because your using euros) then you might not find it at that price but ill look for a cheap one on line and link you to it
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
I cant find anything on Amazon or Ebay for that price
The only cheaper phone that could maybe (i don't relly know) handle the games is the HTC First. It has better specs than the Xperia Play and costs only 100€. But it doesn't have a gamepad. If you're looking for another phone with a gamepad, you won't find any because the Xperia Play is the only one
I realized why you couldn't find any cheap ones. It's because your in Europe and need the gsm ones. I found 2 Xperia plays on craigslist for 100$ but they were r800x's so they won't work in Europe because that version is cdma

R800x is cdma so it only works in America while r800i is gsm which uses a SIM card so it works worldwide

Hi guys
My two years old xperia s is doing so bad in the sun light or indoors if there was light
But before I sleep I use my phone like under the blanket lol and my phone turns into xperia z1
Can anyone explains this?
I think it's the light sensor so if we figured out how to disable/enable the sensor I think our phones can perform much better...
So if you know how to do this please tell me
P.s: I'm under the blanket now and my phone is superb

Same here!! Im under the blanket watching some movies in 1080p 60 fps
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
I glued a piece of paper on the sensor so the XS thinks its under the blanket
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Hehe lol I thought I'm the only one who has this issue
And I tried putting something on the sensor and it didn't work

Weird, mine is normal...

Mine is normal too. Have you guys increased the brightness to 50% or more in the sunlight? Because it might seem very dark with low brightness.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Mine is normal too. Light will affect the hardware? it seems unlikely.
It is because of the photons and tje wave length of the light
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
normal for me too.but sounds weird.so who needs a xperia z1.get a blanket :laugh:

omg omg 4k video works under the blanket if you use a case on your phone. this is amazing. i believe sony put a hidden quantum fluctuation sensor located near the standard lightwave sensor but they put them so near to each other that they were causing conflict during the daylight.
this is the most exciting easter egg discovery in technology since the 3D game in excel years back
im going to try and make a mini nuclear reactor and then induce a particle collision to see if the resulting radiation enables even faster operation.
i have a feeling that the official sony line will be to deny its inclusion for legal purposes probably but i want to say thanks to them, , sony always look after us

4k video is running at an average of 1-2 fps. I think you don't have a proper 4k video.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Loved it. Try giving a call to Tony Stark, and ask a borrowed Arc Reactor from him. Should make things quicker. Please share your results and a How To if sucessful :good:
