I need an advice from XDA

Hello [email protected]
Im a old SE Xperia user i have used x8, x10i before, i dont know what went wrong with me i shifted to samsung Galaxy tab 6200 and i dont really like it much, i was happy with my xperia. Tomorrow morning iam going to buy new phone so yes Please tell me what new xperia phones r good these days? i mean whats good to mess around..
[email protected] & Cheers!

budget?

around 25 thousand RS

you could go for xperia S which is available at 25K..But i personally didnt like the design...hardware wise it is good..next option would be Xperia P..it is the smaller brother of xperia s..

Thanks a lot bro! but even i feel the same design isnt that good, i dont like the bottom part of xperia s, i was thinking of Arc S ? what do u think? i know its old model but it has ICS and i like the design. if u think thats a good phone. Please tell me a few things when u have time.
1 - does the flash tool work with arc s?
2 - can i get the stock ics rom on xda? incase i mess up with a custom rom

arc s has a pretty good support on xda..u will get everything you want..u can use flashtools and there are many custom ROMs and stock based ROMs here on xda. Arc s is a sexy phone...which can handle normal daily loads..and it is also very cheap. but only thing is it is old now..dual core smarphones have conquered the mobile market..but still arc s processor is quiet fast and can easily be overclocked till 1.6Ghz

[Q] Xperia S, SL or Acro S? Or wait for V?

Hi all there,
I'll upgrade my phone next january and I´m wishing to buy a better Sony phone (I have Sony Xperia U running a modded ROM from here, TheBrainsROM [thanks to thebrainkafka for his development], but when I did some use from my brother´s Xperia SL, I´ve got very disappointed with mine's performance).
So, I think I´m going for S, SL or Acro S, but these phones share some equal specifications and I was wondering what should be the very appeal to buy one or another (price, waterproof, frequency....).
I´m not letting the phone go on a stock ROM, I will upgrade it with some ROM from here at once. Would have any of them an advantage with this, since I can do a better performance with a modded ROM?
Or, should I go vor a Xperia V? Why? (too much for my budget now, but maybe I would wait some more...)
Thanks in advance for your time and for sharing your experience here,
Alexandre

Xperia V
I'd hold out for the Xperia V if you can. Why? Well it has a newer chip set (s4) so it's faster, more efficient and overall more future proof. It has a sexy design, same size as the S, SL and Acro S, it's waterproof I think? It has 4G LTE. Micro SD card expansion. Removable battery. The lost goes on really.

Just wait for Xperia V

V

Wait for V. Or acro S.
Depends on your taste though.
Overall, acro s is good enough to satisfy my needs. It has microSD card support, size that fit my hand, water/dust resist coz im an outdoor type, and design that suit me. I can ignore bulkiness that acro s have. Also, the performance is not so bad and battery life is kinda sucks.
The devs here are less than S/ion.
I dont care about removable battery, because i dont need that.
I prefer V than acro S, besides V got a nice chipset and new tech, V provides more chance of future updates than the previous gen.
So, take xperia V.

Why not go the Xperia ION ?
http://geekaphone.com/compare/Sony-Xperia-V-vs-Sony-Xperia-Ion

You can pick up Xperia S for cheap now, but if I was going to buy a phone now I would probably buy an Xperia V but it will be expensive.

Get the yuga or odin when they centre out. I prefer t over v. T had a better benchmark than v in a video. Also jb for t maybe is out.

Choosing between Xperia ION and Xperia S

Hi Guys,
I'm planning to buy either the Xperia ION or the Xperia S. I was really looking forward to buy the S but now i'm getting the ION for a price very similar to the S so I'm able to afford it (I'm getting the ION by paying Rs1500 ~ 30$ more) . So these are the main aspects I'm considering between them:
- Better Screen
- Better Performance
- Less known Bugs/Issues
- Customization (flashing roms , hack support etc. )
and that's pretty much it. i like the fact that ION has a bigger screen and SD card support but i dunno why I'm not able to really say 'NO' to the xperia S. Please help me decide.
Thanks,
Rishi

What I learned between ion and S/SL,
Bigger screen = ion
Performance= same if with S, SL @1.7ghz
Customization= S/SL more development than ion on xda
Less bugs= I have an SL and I dont experience any bug like bravia engine, yellow tint ( already fixed on SL) , unable to unlock Bootloader
For ion, my friend has it, he is having problem with bravia engine not able to work after he unlocked bootloader, also very few custom roms, he said he should have chosen the xperia s/sl, and some ions were unable to unlock the BL.

If you unlock your bootloader, Bravia Engine might not work. Xperia ion will work with Bravia Engine unless you unlock the bootloader.

That's right, guess Im lucky on my SL, B.E. Is still working even my bootloader is unlocked.

The bootloader issue is there with the updated ICS rom ? I can somehow control myself to hold of unlocking the bootloader if the stock ICS is good enuf on the ION. I also forgot to ask which phone has the better Battery Life?

Its on your own whether you like it or not to unlock. Ion has a bigger batt capacity, 1900 against 1750mah, a few difference. It still depends on how you use the phone.

In my daily usage the XS battery lasted longer than my ion but the screen on the ion is much better.

Wow an Xperia TL! \nn/ .
Yeah the Xperia ION screen is the only thing making me choose that over an S. So ION is the one to go for then ?

All depends. If you are big into using custom rooms and kernels the ion doesn't have the amount of dev support as the s. They both are great devices though.

I've been through the same thing a month ago, choosing between ion and s. I chose ion because of its gorgeous-ness and screen size and quality. Xperia ion has a unique screen. The contrast is so great.
About less devs available for ion,don't worry. You have got many mods for this device. The international version of ion is released at a later date than of S and so less people own an ion.
Go for Xperia Ion... You'll love it, like I do!

I'm using the Xperia SL and it really is a beauty esp in white. Its size is just perfect for my hands and is pocket-able and I think any bigger than this size would need both my hands to just use a phone and wouldn't fit my pocket anymore.
I use my SL to actually watch The Walking Dead when I'm on the road ^_^ Its screen is just amaziiing.
The ION which I do not own has an SD slot so if you're into saving a lot of media stuff then go for it. I usually delete episodes I've watched even though they're only like consuming 1 GB AHAHAHA *Panic Mode.
The ION has a bigger battery BUT also a bigger screen so its kind of isn't an advantage over the SL.
The SL has an eyelet :> I think bec. its also marketed for Japan as the NX while the ION does not have as it was for the US.

+1 for the walking dead on SL! I do watch on my SL too, and stored 3 seasons on my phone ,

Yeah your right , not gonna expect increased battery life just coz of the bigger bateery , however the phones are pretty similar in size with S at 128x64x10.6mm and ION at 133x68x10.8mm and both weigh in at 144g.
Compared to the galaxy S3 the S is just a slightly smaller and the ION is at par so i don't think fitting it on the pocket or using 1 hand should be an issue

Thanks for all the help , just a few days back Xperia T and TX were made available on the Indian ebay site. Will 99% go for one of these phones :highfive:

Need help with choosing a phone

Hi,
I wanted to buy Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, but i'm not sure about the speaker (when calling).
Is the speaker good? could be boostd?
Maybe you can even recommend about other phone.
What I really need to have:
Loud speaker (for calling)
A memory card extensio*n
Not giant like the Samsung Galaxy 3
Reasonable CPU
Reasonable camera
up to 530 dollars
Thank you very much.

Xperia Arc s has very high quality sound (both in call and playing music) I can make you sure about this , and if you use gingerbread based ROM then you have a Reasonable CPU and the camera is very better than other phones in this range ...
but If you want to spend about 500 dollars take a look at Nexus 4 And Galaxy SII
SII has good size but Nexus 4 is a bit bigger but it worth

I would give Nexus 4 a try if I were you. My other option would be Razr i with that 2Ghz processor that seems great.

Sony Xperia V is a good Phone.

What do you think about Xperia J?

LG nexus 4, HTC one S or newer xperia range like Xperia S,T,TX .
don't buy arc IMHO.

J is worse than arc. I wouldn't choose J over Arc S. You should have a look at Xperia P - good price ($280 AU), dual core, same physical size as arc, and jelly bean update for $370 AU, you can get the Xperia S which is even better
Good luck finding a phone!

I have had an arc S for a year and now in christmas I have buy a Htc One X and is so amazing!! I recomended it to you, a lot of differents between arc S and HOX!! Buy a HOX!!

Buy Arc S. It has all features you need and should be at least 40% cheaper then others.

Obvious the Xperia SL is better with the faster CPU :silly::silly:
But I can see that there is not many ROMs for this phone
I'm wondering if I could install Xperia S ROMs and Xperia S kernels (custom) on Xperia SL :laugh::laugh:

No **** the SL.

Go for S dude, 200mhz didnt give much different at all.

Yeah I know but in my country Xperia S and SL have the same price. So why not pick the SL ? :laugh::laugh:

Dont know if there is any problem with you guys when you install Xperia S ROMs on the SL :silly:

SL is better than S
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

Reading about them, you wont see a lot of diferences between them... Only you can see that SL have 0.2MHz of proccesor.. (it could mean that SL drains battery quickly, obviusly a bit quickly). All other things are similar, and you could lose buying the SL beacuse, like you said, SL lack the same comunity development.
If you find out, that you could install Xperia S roms in an SL phone... Go to SL jajaja

Actually thats 400mhz Difference, 200mhz per core right, and XSL have Bluetooth 3.0, and XS have 2.1
And I read that newer XS which does not have any Yellow Tint, Quick Charge has been removed?(hardware related?), atleast on my XSL i can confirm that it is working if you have EP850/850
And according to reviews, like GSMArena, Photo's and Video is slightly better on XSL(software related?)

Now I'm just wondering if I could install all the wonderful ROM in Xperia S Development box for my SL ??

Bluetooth 3.0?? I'll see again and in a few post says 2.1 :S where have you seen it? http://www.smart-gsm.com/moviles/sony-xperia-sl
400MHz with the same battery (1750mAh) is equal to say that drains quickly... i dont know it but i think it.

Well, I still say 'duck' those 200 MHz and bluetooth!
If you're asking for XDA purposes; get the S
If you're a douchebag that only gets a phone to brag in front of friends; get the SL (I'm not judging anyone, but the only people I know that have the SL are douchebags (no offence to the cool guys at XDA that have the SL)).

If I were you, I will go for S. I dont care about rom development but custom kernel are very important for me. If XS kernel can be use on XSL, then I will say XSL.
But I'm now stuck weather to pick between Xperia S and Xperia P.
Xperia S got HD screen, better battery capacity and processer. But the capacitive button really annoying me.
In other hand Xperia P surround by aluminium unibody, power by WhiteMagic and capacitive button are reside in transparent strip. But it have low battery capacity.
Guy please help me which one do you prefer.
Thanks.

You have to think also about applications and games you already have bought through playstore, i read that some who upgraded his 2011 xperia(qualcomm) to xperia p(st-ericsson) have a lot of incompatibilites, specially games. So for me i decided to buy XSL, hd screen, 12mp camera, bigger screen, bigger battery, and better cpu 1.7ghz, and of course most of my apps that i bought from google play are compatible.
About the capacitive buttons, they are not like XP, but i got used to it, maybe live with it.

Have an SL, and Im not a DB as some have indicated..Good phone and for some reason, seems to be cheaper than the S in some cases...Running Turbo Rom2 at the moment.
I have no problem running S roms with a unlocked boot loader...
Really though its essentially the same phone except the overclock, so if your going to root and rom, I really see no difference...
