So a breakdown of some stats:
MSM7227 Snapdragon processor (I assume 1 gHz max)
3.5 inch screen
3.2 MP camera
1500 mAh battery
Launching on JB (E dual will launch on ICS with JB update coming after. Thank you Felimenta97)
But there are no standout features except for possibly the dual SIM which was featured on another Xperia phone this year (Xperia tipo I think). If anyone wants to add on to the list feel free to do so.

Well, not anymore (in terms of specs, at least). E and J were the last very low end phone of their line. Now is just medium to high end. They want to be a premium company. Even their "low end" phones are gonna be medium ones. Wait for a event soon... (Not sure when, as looks like they won't be at MWC).
and still they decide to release FF OS for this particular device!

Call it fake or mockup or whatever, there is a strong rumor that Sony will be releasing Nexus Phone this year.
And how is a Sony Nexus different from the Xperia T? Or rather, what exactly is a Nexus? Also, I'm more interested in the rumored quad core Sony phone that was leaked last week.

In general, a Nexus device gets the latest updates faster than any other phone. They usually set the bar for where Google thinks the platform should be at. All of the manufacturers will have their own flagship devices, but none of them will get updates faster than a Nexus device.

GSMArena needs to update their review of the SL because it states Bluetooth 2.1 throughout it.

For me, the lack of micro SD isn't an issue. I never brought a bigger sdcard than 8 gig so the storage of the xperia s is good enough.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
go for Xperia S.
I ordered the SL because it was on sale and the S was sold out.
It seems from the unboxing videos you get more of the accessories in the S, NFC tags & an additional screen protector. I don't think the SL came with those, not in the international versions at least.
The SL comes with a higher clocked speed, but the same CPU. There's also better bluetooth on the SL. Two additional colors are available for the SL too, Silver & Pink. Another change to note on the SL is the Xperia branding on the base strip, right under the transparent line.
Essentially it's the same device. Same chipsets, and S ROMs are reported to be working fine on the SL.

The Bluetooth and colors are the only difference. The s has the Xperia branding. I do wish my s had Bluetooth 3.0

If you want custom or modded ROMs, you should buy Xperia S, SP. Or if you want a phone with better specs buy the Ion or Acro S.
Maybe you can take a look at HTC One S? It has got some decent specs. It has only 16 Gb inbuilt memory though and there is no MicroSD slot, but as you come from Xperia U, I think that it may be enough for you.

I really like my Ion, for the price it is amazing really. Even if you're stuck with 4.1, I think it's worth it. Or you could save up longer and get something with longer support.

Get SP, Ion is getting outdated for now.
Actually SP I can't pay that much. In my country which is India price difference is there a lot between two. I would had gone for SL but it has 26 gb storage with no memory card slot, As for one S it's spec aren't as good as Ion.

The ion is a great phone, if you can unlock you bootloader. I like my ion but with an unlockable bootloader I'm just bored as hell. For me, my future phone choice will come down to bootloader status as much as specs.
Having high end components but not be able to do anything with them is pointless.

It's up to u,if u care about the size of screen, u can choose it but jelly bean update for ion not yet released by xperia.
Ion has got micro HDMI on the same side as the usb (useful for doking it) and micro SD card for more MP3 and video.

thanks for all your replies..the only thing thats holding me back now after seeing all views is limited development for Ion.

It's a beautiful phone and since ur getting it in India the bootloader will be unlockable.
As far as development is concerned, yes ion has a very less choice.. But devs have brought the major roms cm, pa and slimbean also better stock kernels.... As far as other mods are concerned most of the xperia s ones are usable, like u had in xperia p, u and go.

Actually i would choose Nexus 5 ahead of the others.. Z1 is waterproof, but i don't think its really worth it.. 20mp isn't like what it should be.. And bootloader can't be unlocked since Camera will be damaged further.. SGS4 lacks quality.. Although it will receive some major updates for another 1 and half year atleast.. Nexus 5 is new and will get support for another 2 years or more without doubt because of Google.. Also Nexus 5 is coming with 4.4, which is much more faster and also new features already.. I am willing to sell my SXS and go for Nexus 5 soon which is also highly unlikely..

Actually Dual boot is not that safe i guess.. Well, Android gives an app for everything.. Windows still has to emerge.. Not much changes can be made with UI.. Unlike Android, u can change UI to virtually any kind possible.. Although its always the one who's buying has to decide what his needs are.. If it were me, i would definitely go with Android first and then iOS as my 2nd.. Just my opinion..
