Htc One X After Arc S ?? Please Suggest & Give Opinions

*** Kindly Please read all, its not much ***
Using arc s for six months i love it no doubt... Great speaker volume, flawless message typing, its good speed now after being of ics 4.0.4, its calling, and all features are great.!! Just playing heavy games( max payne, nova3, dead space,etc) or opening youtube videos on browser it crashes, though happened rarely. I can though ignore this issue as i m not into this much.....
Now still the big question i love the beast htc one x . Mostly all know what it has got, but its speaker volume is ok not that loud as arc s.... though other features i checked many videos on youtube and i liked it alot ..
Anyways just with all xda lovely devs and members i need to know should i go for it??
Please do not suggest me any other phone like s3( no hard feelings but i hate its plastic body, even speaker is loud bt sounds ordinary, bad business type ui ), or any other phones.
Best Regards!

yes absolutely!! but i discussed few flaws of s3 in my first post, though watch videos of htc one x vs s3 on youtube and decide for yourself which one is better, i felt htc one x sure is!! better colours, better clarity, even written on gsmarena.com... s3 is good more in blacks on screen colours n i didn't like that, here on xda htc forums the htc one x users really say its better than s3 ... but please lets just stick to the topic hehe

yup true that's one of the reasons i am going to buy it tomorrow
Just wanted to be more confident for it ..... i still will have xperia u with me which ofcourse is better than arc s excluding few things ofcourse(like screen size, feel, looks,etc no doubt arc s is better in that!)

i am getting it for rs 34,300 aroud USD 616.85 . Did alot of surveys all places nearby and got this best price.... I Never will want to buy it online i know online price would be lesser but its would be marginaly lesser than this i guess, so its ok with me

32k in blore...search for wholesale dealers in Delhi

nah i understand Price little high in delhi though but i m kool with this price. Getting all warranty, getting white, with free screen guard(its not available in box).. getting good exchange price for my arc s 17 k ....

don`t buy that phone, stay with sexy Arc S

[Q] New phone - best quad core model

Hey, guys! I am owner of Xperia arc S (and developer of Jelly Sandwich, btw) and want to buy another phone in November. Of course I will still have arc S for development and other stuff, don't worry. I am thinking of one from these models: HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S III, LG Optimus 4x HD. Which one is the best? Please, recommend something! LG tempts with its low price, but I don't really like its interface - even stock based custom ROMs will have this look. From the other hand SGSIII has its awesome Amoled screen and great support via custom ROMs (One X also does). Do you have any suggestions? I will choose 100% from one od these three phones - even latest Sony phones won't have quad core CPU. And, please... Don't try to make me thing dual core has the same performance as quad core. I just want my future phone to have 4-core CPU.
BTW, I like SGS3's light interface so for example Android Revolution HD ROM would be suitable for me :3
Thanks in advance for suggestions!
Cheers,
Max

It'd have to be the s3, if only because of its popularity. I've been thinking of a new phone for about 6 months, I've tried the xperia s, one x, s3, galaxy nexus and the note 2. The xperiaS was ok, but not a huge improvement on my arc. One x seems faster at first compared to the s3, but after 3-4 days use it felt laggy whereas the s3 actually felt faster. They're both on the large side though. Nexus is good but display lets it down. Note2 is f***ing huge!
I'll probably get the s3 myself, mainly as Samsung have actually put a bit of thought into the ui.

But why?
Because I like the HTC Sense UI. But thats not the only reason and I think that doesnt rly help you.
Pretty good performance,
customizeable
materials (doesnt cares you, i know)
Even the S3 has got better ways for customization (popular, more private developers..) i would choose one X anyways.

Being quite alot into design, few words from that point of view:
1. You are seriously qualifying Samsung UI as "good one"?
2. How could one go for such uninspiring (not to say ugly) and washed out design, after having sexy beast like arc S?
Bottom line. I would not go for quad-core untill Sony, or anyone else, release an originally designed, true quad-core killer. Also, these first quad-core "experiments" you mentioned as options, will probably be ridiculous by the time Sony release their quad-cores, and generally second generation of quad-cores. One more thing. Quad-cores will be there for long time for sure, and in half year from now (or a bit more), there's a big chance that you will have the weakest quad core phone, of all quad-cores.
Anyway, good luck with shopping.

I have news for you:

Of course I will not stop arc development! Arc S rocks!
Sent from my [~xDevilCharged~] Xperia arc S powered by Jelly Sandwich ROM

That's the main reason I haven't gone for any new phone yet, the fact that the s3 and oneX are basically the first generation of quad cores. Plus as someone said previously, the s3 is pretty bland looking. I chose my arc over an s2 mainly due to its looks and actually think it's still the best looking smartphone, alongside the lumia 900.

many quad core phones are on its way..wait till Christmas if you can and you will have many options

Not sure if this is the right forum as nobody has posted this information yet, however new phones are announced ahead of CES
You can find this info on google right now however rumored specs are:
- 5" 1080p S-LCD screen
- 1.5ghz quad core S4 Pro
- 2gb RAM
- Jellybean 4.1.1
- 13mp camera
- Adreno 320 GPU
- 16gb storage + expandable memory slot
What do you guys think? Are you excited for the new Sony superphones or are you going to get something else?
The hardware seems very similar to what the Droid DNA is currently offering, except these will have expandable memory which is a bonus.
If the batteries on these are either removable or much higher capacity then I'm in for sure.

5" is a litte too large. Good on the high end specs & launching with JB.

The actual phones are about the same size as the ion so the extra screen size doesn't make it all that much bigger of a device. Definitely not like the note.

Jelly Bean yes but JB part 1 which is really quite old now, should be JB part 2 (4.2.1) on a new phone that isn't even out yet.

Get a different phone and it starts the 30 days over so when the Z's come out exchange it again. At least I think it still works.
As for the new Z's man they look good. Funny to that people still gripe about 4.1 to 4.2. There is not even a real difference I thought?? Other than bug fixes?? Anyway I think this will be a great device and somehow I get the feeling Sony may have a few surprises up there sleeve. :good:

I would love one if I thought Sony would actually keep the UK SIM free ones up to date

[Q] should I buy Sony Xperia Play?

hello,
im new to this forum. All i need to ask is that is this phone worth buying now? i would buy better phone but my price range is 200$ to 220$. and xperia play is 205$(20500 rs in my countty). It also very hard to find one. there is no phone in this range that has more than 512mb ram. but my friend says that it will be great mistake to buy this phone. Gta and modern combact are the game that make me think about this phone. i have used sony xperia s from my brother for sometime and touch screens are very bad for gamming specially for games like gta. please tell me should i buy?
Sorry for bad english or for wrong forum. i have registered fist time on forum.
Thanks

If you like gaming and you do not care about high end hardware go for the Xperia Play.
512mb ram is not a lot, but enough for the emulators I play.
I used the Xperia Z along with the Moga controller for a while now and I dislike the Moga sticks.
Dropped the Z and back to the Xperia Play now.
Sure the hardware was nice, but I prefer a proper Dpad and everything in 1 device instead of 2.
Offtopic: Xperia Play is made by Sony Ericsson, not by Sony.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Yes, this is what Iam trying to say.
You do not want to know for how many years I have used and enjoyed N-gage.
Swapped back and forth with that phone aswell, always to find out:
Iam a gamer I need physical buttons and like everything in 1 device.
As for the price, Iam not sure.
Think speaking in euro's 150 \ 175 would be reasonable for an brand new Xperia Play.
Kind regards, Stefan.

If you like emulating old games, then this phone is perfect!

I wouldn't advise you to buy this phone, due to the fact that it isn't strong enough to play new games with.. I bought mine 6 months ago, and am experiencing many difficulties with actually just making a phonecall.
Overall, I really love the idea of the Xperia Play but unfortunately the hardware is just not that good.

I had xperia play, moved to a Asus padfone then to a galaxy note 2. I ended up buying another xperia play just for games. It's so much better then using a bkuetooth controller. Like others have said, if you like old emulators then this phone is perfect.

thanks. i have made my decision to buy xperia play.. as all the phone in this range have 512mb ram so all perforamce will be almost same. Thats why im going to buy xperia play tomarow. if i find one in market

Agree best rom for gaming got all the gameloft games dat are compatible and no lag

Hello, I'm using xperia play almost for year and if u like gaming u should buy it i know it's not high end device but it's pretty much optimized, stock rom without oc and other things has got bigger antutu score than htc evo 3D
Htc evo has 2xcore 1,4 i think and 1gb ram(i think)
Xperia play has one core with 1GHz, 512MB RAM and has bigger score and that says something

[Q] Xperia M. Worth Buying Now?

Is the Xperia M worth buying now
or should i wait for new phones to launch?
If i so,then which colour to opt for?

You can buy the Moto G instead. I have heard good reviews about it, Its spec-wise better and cheaper compared to the Xperia M.

No!

Moto G is expensive.. It costs 14k for the 16Gb
and the 8Gb for 12.5k
whereas the Xperia M costs 11k

I just bought the Xperia M SS this Monday and was it got delivered yesterday. It's Rs 3,000/- cheaper than the Moto G and best VFM imo, Screen resolution could have been a lil better, but I'm yet to try KitKat on this cell. Maybe it will look better. If you're tight on budget go with this, or Moto E.
all currencies in INR

Moto G is getting an updated version that'll start selling this month (at least in Brazil) which is exactly the same specs of current released model plus microSD support and 4G. Even if it's a little more expensive than Xperia M, the upgraded specs really worth the extra cost, an equivalent phone with similar specs here cost almost twice the price of Moto G...
(in fact, I bought Xperia M dual at release here, one week after Moto G 8GB launched here at the same price but with way better hardware specs, I felt cheated )

i use both Xperia m dual and moto g(friend)....
trust me guys our m is really fast and smooth as compare to moto g... and looks wise also it beat moto g... n definitely Xperia m is so light in weight...
before i ws also thinking that i should have waited for moto g.... before buying Xperia m... but now... im fully satisfied

Specs of the moto G are indeed better than the Xperia M but the performance in reality is actually not as good as the XM cause look around on the web every review says the same thing the moto G is good but there is one problem with that phone the battery is draining fast and when battery is low the cpu does not give the performance as it should we don't have that porblem with XM that's why the XM performs better in reality
So İ think we should be statisfied with our XM

If you are convinced on buying the phone I'd suggest the one with colored back like purple, even yellow goes well. You can match the color with a theme and the phone will look really good.

And yeah should i stick to the stock 4.1.2 ?
So should i stick to the 4.1.2 version
because i've heard unstability of the version 4.3
so, i guess its better that i just wait till sony updates a stable version
and yeah even i can do many tweaks with the old firmware right??
