I know there are lots of threads asking other people what kind of phone they should get, but those threads are a little bit outdated.
With all the newer phones getting dual core processors, and bigger RAM sizes, and more internal storage, does it mean that the Xperia Play is getting outdated?
With almost all of these newer phones wouldn't it make Google just want to make Jellybean (which comes out in just a while), a "only dual-core" OS?
If I were to look into a phone - I am stuck between a few of them, but if I knew that the Xperia Play could at least survive another OS, then I would heavily consider it.
What's more worth it though: Xperia Play vs. Motorola Atrix 4G?
Or even more harder: Xperia Play vs. Samsung Galaxy S II.
I have a pretty flexible budget, but I want a phone that is unique and one that can play games. I need one that can be modded, and I see that the Xperia is in the headlines a lot about small things...... What are your guys' opinion?
How much support life does the Xperia Play have left?
I want to have hope in the xperia, but I don't want to be left high and dry.
If you want to play classic games on emulators it is the best phone because of the controls, but if what you want to play is moden games, you should get another phone, even GTA3 goes slow even on low detail on this phone, but i dont care, because what i use the most and it goes perfect is the emulators, world of goo and fifa 12.
Samsung Galaxy S2 can play GTA 3 Perfect, but you can only use the games and emulators with touch controls or a external gamepad, wich sucks.
Storage is not a problem, i got it with a 64gb microsd card.
I say get the Xperia Play unless if you want your hands covering half of the screen when playing games.
Is it on it's last end of life? I don't want to buy it - and then find out that the entire line of Xperia Play is dead?
It's getting more support- ICS and playstation suite are expected soon but it isn't getting too much support- you may be a bit underwhelmed cause of this after about a month. But leave it for someone who knows what they're on about to give you a better answer

Yep. PSP games aren't even possible hardware wise. About 10x the power of the original system is needed to emulate the games on a computer.

Sony hasn't backed out on any of its promises yet.
1)Sony's still on track for ICS , they said at the end of may/early June.
2)Sony have never promised they would put any psp games on the xperia play although we do have loco roco. They said the playstation suite would come which may have psp games - this will be released in an update - they did not give us a date of when this would happen so they have not broken any promises.
3)There's plenty of Xperia exclusive games, virtua tennis,fifa 12,Lode runner etc etc.
4)Sony has never said they would make an xperia play 2.
5)Please move onto the galaxy s3, you're nothing but a nuisance in this forum, constantly asking for psp games,xperia play 2's etc.
6)Sony does use its "game experience" as the playstation emulator wouldn't be possible without it.
Finally, its your fault for buying a phone without reading up on it, Sony don't owe you anything.
Edit- Urgh thanked him accidentally while clicking quote -_-.
I find it kind of ironic that people play on gaming centric phone and handle it as "playstation phone" while they care and demand high end specs when playstation 3 is pretty low spec'd in todays market
Consoles have never been beasts in graphical category.ö
But I think its pretty obvious, we have the base for Xplay so it doesnt cost so much and isnt "delayed" in terms of specs, we also can speculate that next Xplay will be released when the hardware is mature enough to emulate PSP and PS2 games.
I dont remember that sony ever promised PSP games, you can expect them to release PSP games at same timespan as any orher Top quality AAA PSP games would be released. Portting is essentialy recreating majority of the code for new platform.

Another dumb post by mehdi.moha
ICS is the only promised thing as well as playstation integration both of which are on their way.... If you ask me sony is making the same mistakes sega did they dont offer enough games for their hardware the most successful console ever was probably the ps2 and that was because it offered backwards compatibility so you had the new awesome games and the old ones. Personally I think that before they made the play they should have already ported psp games and ps1 games and a few ps2 games and then also there would have been xperia play optimised games.
As for the xperia play 2 sony has adamently said there are no plans! NONE. But it is likely that they will eventually make a new one.

Xperia Play 2??? The Xperia Play 1 has aprox. 1 year of life! You already want another one? Stop using the mobiles as things for being used a short time. A mobile should have 3 years of use, not less of one. Do you know how much natural resources are needed to make a mobile??? Stop being so materialistic!
Before buying your Xperia Play you should had informed about what hardware it has, now don't cry because it hasn't got dual core, more RAM, etc. Learn to enjoy what you have!

You are confusing two different compannies: Sony Ericsson (SE) and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). Son Ericsson is the one that made the Xperia Play while Sony Computer Entertainment just helped on its developing (the gaming controls, apps like Playstation Suite, etc.). This means it is NOT a console, it is a mobile that allows to play mobile games more comfortably with its game controls. The "Playstation Certified" logo is just an accessory that promises that this device will recieve the Playstation Suite and SOME content from the Playstation Store.
I hate like you companies like Gameloft, but think a bit, you seriously think that big gaming companies (Square Enix, Capcom, etc.) will make an super exclusive title like (for example) a Final Fantasy or a Kingdom Hearts for a device that not so much people have (in comparison with a portable console like the N3DS or the PSVita)? Do you know how much money would they lose?
That's why you don't see super-duper exclusive games like in a console, because the money and because its not a damn console!!!
BUT
You are wrong if you think SCE is not helping with its long experience in the gaming industry. If you would had been more informed you would know about the Playstation Suite Software Developer Kit (SDK), wich is already in open beta since a month ago. This SDK will allow companies and users to create exclusive content to all devices that have the Playstation Certified seal (the PSVita, the Xperia Play, and the two Sony tablets, for now). Isn't this helping with game experience???

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.
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
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.

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!!!

I was thinking of getting a Samsung galaxy note 2 and rooting it, install sixaxis and then buying a ps3 controller together with an OTG cable . To play games and have the playstation feel with a much better device . That way I will be able to play all my favourite hd games without any lags,overclocking ,light roms,tweaks and whatever . Is this a good idea. The xperia play has reached its limit isn't it time to move on ? Android games are fast developing and the xperia play cannot keep up. Very soon it won't be able to play better Android games. Please share your thoughts.

I think you are right Xperia PLAY is dying everyday but HEY! what's the matter? This phone is and it will be a classic
Lol sixaxis + any android device is destined to fail to certain degree. Can both of these things in the same pocket i doubt it great for home use btw. But I do agree with 1 thing though it is hardware limted :sigh:.
I'd rather have a 480p single core device with physical buttons than a 1080p quad core device without physical buttons.
I think you catch my drift.
Yes they are better in gaming, much better in the pocket.
Xperia Play is a Legendary Phone no matter what! :laugh:
Yea the note 2 is an amazing device and I want so bad but I read that the "Exenos" (sorry for spelling) is not as good at gaming as snapdragon,snapdragon has been the best for gaming mainly because companies like gameloft built there games on snapdragon chipset and are basicly incompatible on tegra 2 and all right on sammies "exenos" chip set....but that's just a thought

and don't forget that chainfire 3d does not officially work on ics and later versions. I know that the galaxy note 10.1 gets into a boot loop when installed on jellybean. But at this point, any cellphone + a portable controller is better than the xperia play but the xperia play is just way more convenient. I should know, cause I swap between 2 cellphones, the xperia play and galaxy note 10.1, daily. I just can't give up the portability of the play.
I have my xperia play and my galaxy tab 10.1. I use my xperia play for gaming. I do not game on the tab. Hate touch screen gaming. Although I have considered hooking up my Xbox controller. There's an article here on xda tobuse an old original Xbox controller on ics/jb tablet.

I am sorry I dont get the point of doing this with such a great effort
what is the point?
You are sitting in front of a desk, you hold a ps3 controller, and you look at a 5 inch screen and play some games on a device powered with battery.
May I ask? why not use that controller and play with ps3 with a 47inch TV?
It's all about mobility!
at home I play PC Games and I dont need this kind of configuration. It's silly to sit at home and play on a 5 inch screen.
On the train or bus, yes I need to play with a controller and I need to make calls. but i will never take ps3 controller with me.
this is the point of buying xperia play!
i have been thinking of getting this phone or swap for my iphone as i do like playing games on a portable device i was wondering if it is still worth getting and how are you people finding it

The xperia play is a great phone and ghe best for gaming but its pretty outdated specs wise.if you don't care about specs and just want a good gaming phone than go for it. But if you want want a newer phone with good specs then get something newer like an s3 or something more affordable. But if you like gaming and don't care about old hardware and outdated software ( its stuck on gb unless you wanna flash a custom rom) then go for it

its the only phone in the market that has a real life playstation touchpad yes it may have lower specs than the one thats out there, but the feel of having android phone + a playstation certified gaming gadget can never be traded by anything else out there. this phone will be my best and will forever be cherished by a gamer like me :angel:
i was worried about the ram its only 512 ive hardly had a phone with 512mb my current other phone is atrix dual core and 1 gb ram i also have an iphone which i dont want
This phone might have low ram and bad specs, but games still go much faster on the xperia play then on other devices with better specs.
And if games start to lag, unlock your bootloader, then flash a kernel and overclock.
Still lag, debloat your phone.
Still lag, flash tweaks eg AdrenoBooster
I am a proud play owner.but get galaxy 3 or HTC one and you will be happy.the play I will give it half a year and it will be dead.I am play owner from the start my first android phone.I hate Sony for what they do to this phone and not releasing xplay 2!!

Playing games on a touch screen device is good but not the same as playing on xperia play
Its not worth getting xperia play. A few weeks ago I thought it is worth to have an xperia play for gaming, phone, bluetooth, etc all in one little device... With all those I listed above is what I use on my xperia play it became a burden because it drains the CPU resources to do certain for instance gaming, and because it lacks ram, internal memory. I felt it was wasnt worth it a long run. Get a ps3 controller with a stand and be done with it.
well, its almost 2016 and I don't give a crap about specs on my phone, maybe on my pc for heavy gaming like shadows of mordor. But if you really love games F... all others. sure you can be gay and get a moga controller or other, but then you need a stand for your phone(unless it has one) then you have to carry a controller around like a putz! why do I really need to walkaround like a gay batman with a fanny pack in lieu of my utility belt? and ram? who cares root it unlock the boot loader and use sd card ext give your self whatever size you want good god! oh the X-play successfully use the 64 gb sd( I know cause its in mine 4 years now) is that the only defense new phones have that and speed? So what you had a 90 ghzx 32 gb phone SO??? IT DOES NOT HAVE A BUILT IN DUAL TOUCHPAD CONTROLLER. like one guy said ramp up the speed a little to alleviate sluggish response. I run mine a 1300 MHz (don't want to burn up the processor) and its almost 2016 , but with a controller, I get to play DS games (almost all of them ) all snes, genesis, Gba , and now PSP games and N64 games (quite a few) run (most of them) and all of the PSX library too then all the other games out there for android and the small handful of x-play exclusives. dead space dungeon hunter 2 3 and 4 shadowgun GTA 3 AVP minecraft PE all angry birds rainbow 6 HD ,backstab, Aidens crons man the list goes on.
So if you are agamer, don't get anything else period because it has a controller and the massive list of highly functioning emulators to go with it. ( seven consoles in one plus android games). if you just want a really powerful phone get a Z or i phone 6 or some Shiite because you know that you need that raw power for your texting and twatting. LMFAO but you already know what youre going to do , so just do it and stop asking questions.

It's funny how android fanboys basically jack off to specs but a single core phone from 2011 still keeps up in gaming lol. You can even install up to jelly bean and have everything working kitkat and lollipop work but the touchpads are still being worked on. If the Xperia play could be modded to have LTE everyone would probably still have it. Yes other phones have bigger screens and are faster but if it is gaming that is your passion the play is THE ONLY WAY TO GO. Like this guy says you can use the sd as ram lol. It will be slower doing some things but gaming with that controller just can't be matched. If Sony made a derivative of the Z that had a gamepad I'd buy it the second it came out lol. Because my plays flex cable went out when I was away I had to get a new phone aka the Ion and now I have a z3 which is nice because it has alot of awesome features but I still have and still use a Xperia play! Gaming on a touchscreen really sucks.
Someone even modded the remote play apk so you theoretically could play your Ps4 on your Xperia play if you have the Sony files on your rom!

i like my 3ds, but for me, no xplay no game!
Don't get the Xperia Play now.. move on and get a z5 and a PS controller attachd to it or something.. this phone will be dead very soon.. Gaming wise. as a phone its still good. newer games demand more from the phone which Play cant give.

Well for me the Xperia Play has been the best phone ever made, the build quality is amazing the design is perfect, the speakers are great, battery life outstanding, the Camera is still great for today standards and the physical controls just make the difference, no other phone in the market offers all that.
My advice is, get an Xperia play if you mainly care about gaming and only use your phone for basic stuff like moderate messaging, phone calls, whatsapp, listening to music, taking some photos.
If you use a lot of Facebook, email, surfing the web, google app and other heavy apps then I advise to stay away from the Play, the single core and the 512mb of ram are just not enough for multitasking, no matter how much you tweak it, the experience will be annoying. Mainly due to poorly optimized apps from developers, for instance the Facebook app will make the XPlay unusable.
let me add to that many of the apps that I use.. have a min. requirement of 4.0.4+ or ICS+ and if we use Xperia play for real gaming.. we have to stay at GB or 2.3.7 .. so u would have to choose between Apps or Gaming.. so yes
Gaming wise this phone is the best.. that too cant play newer games I believe.. as time will pass newer games will have a min requirement of 4+ too I believe.. so this phone is loosing the battle everyday in that sense.

Why do you have to stay below jelly bean I believe everything works. I'm not sure about kit kat tho. But the majority the VAST majority support down to ICS which our plays do have. You can mod ICS or pick up a rom to make gaming epic. Just trust me on this one.

not sure if anyone still visits this thread, I just got an Xperia Play (R800at) today. been playing around a bit with it (I collect unique cell phones still looking for a nice inexpensive LG Thrill (in good shape lol) and I'm done lol)
Anyway, was looking on here to see what mods and such were available. hate the low memory. wanna kill off the FB app as I prolly wont use it there. just wanna load some emu's and a streaming music app (Soma FM) . also, probably a silly question, did the market end for this phone? (the game market I mean. both the playstation app and the xperia play app (the one that starts when you open the controls) wont connect to download)
Also whats the best root method?
