Which phone should I buy : Xperia S or Xperia SL?
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:
And this guy said that

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.
See this page http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4894&idPhone2=4369 and try to read or watch comparatives in web!

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.

Can I install Xperia S custom kernel for the Xperia SL

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...

Hi all..
So im thinking of getting the Arc.. (have the x10). Whats the actual big difference in terms of the two phones ? From what i see online they are very similar.
X10 Weighs more and doesn't have a HDMI port lol
Arc looks better (my opinion of course)

Well I agree on that... Just trying to decide what phone to get my contracts due for a upgrade ...
Again my personal opinion but get the Arc it's a fantastic phone
First and foremost, the firmware. Android Gingerbread is way faster than Froyo. Much much more than stock x10 which is Eclair.
Second, the processor. Although at same speed of 1Ghz, arc processor is faster still. Much like an intel pentium 4 vs. Core at same clock speed. And with 45nm process, it should require less battery.
Ram. It has more so it should run pretty much more than x10.
Exmor camera, hdmi, bravia lcd, etc, etc..
If you have an x10 I would say wait for a dual core SE. The Arc is too similar to the X10 in terms of hardware. Ofcourse the camera and screen are way better, but the rest of it is more or less the same

You are correct as far as hardware goes, but the camera and screen are not just improved, IMHO it is a big improvement.
The whole phone just seems better. My only gripe is the stupidly slippery battery cover, but I have a case on the way lol
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
If you've got and love your X10, you'll love the Arc even more! The Arcs battery cover is a tad slippery as LT has mentioned, but just buy one of THESE which has the same feel and texture as the X10's battery cover and your phone will be complete.
Moving from X10i to Arc was fantastic ... The performance & sleekness of the phone is beyond just hardware specs. It's just a big improvement from the X10i
Thanks for the replies i will probably get it then, end of the month.
Arc is a huge upgrade to the X10, but X10 is really easy to install custom stuff onto while Arc's bootloader still hasn't been unlocked

You're behind the times mate. We've been able to unlock, as well as relock, the bootloader of the arc for some time now thanks to the geniuses here at XDA. Moreover, custom ROMs are being developed for it.

Hello ,,
would you help me to choose the best phone for these phones in my price tag category
I want to know which Soc is more powerful , the novathor - mali 400 or the S3 - adreno 220
I am an occasional gamer , but I want a performer that can run many of the moderate to high graphic games
and is there is any difference in the performance between xperia s and xperia sl
and a last question , since all my old phones for the past 7 years were nokia , which were hard built sets , are the sony one are good built too , that can withstand long term usage and occasional falls !
( it worth mentioning that I will not change the phone for 2-3 years ahead )
thanks for your help in advance ,, and sorry for my week english

Xperia S is better. Definitely. I tried multiple games on it and it runs everything without a problem.
There is no difference between S and SL, the SL is overclocked to 1.7ghz, which is doable on the Xperia S with unlocking its bootloader and flashing a custom kernel.
Sony has a quite solid build, the design is perfect, and it will probably serve you for even more than 2-3 years.

does that overclocking whether by sony in SL or by flashing in xperia S damage the processor with time , or it is a fake myth ?
and does the xperia S comes with ICS out of the box or still GB ?

People always have problems with phones, but overall the Xperia S is a solid value. Choose it over P that is for sure, unless P is much cheaper.

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.
Sent from my LT26ii using xda app-developers app
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.

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:
Hello,
I'm considering a new phone and have been looking at the Xperia S/SL. I like the feel of the devices and the design. I think having a physical camera button is great! If you have an S/SL, what do you like most about it? What do you like the least? Seems other than 2 additional colors and a bump in CPU speed, the SL is the same as the S. Is that so? Most everything I've seen in terms of customization (new ROMs, etc) talk about the S and not the SL. Can I safely assume that the S and SL are synonymous with regards to rooting, ROMs, etc.?
Thanks,
cesman
Well I must say the XS is awesome, i mena the camera is great (except some autofocus issues, however you can get another app for that) the screen is gorgeous, flaws ... must I say non removeable battery, lacking micro sd port (however 32 gb I think It's fair enough)
I should go for the S if you want to unlock your bootloader
You can flash a custom kernel to have 1.7GHz like SL, no other main difference between S and SL.
The camera is good, and the device runs smooth with some tweaks for custom looks it's the same as other devices, you can always customize Android
Non removable battery and no micro-sd slot doesn't bother me, there is a key reset combo and I don't need more then 32GB
Battery life isn't superb, but also not really bad, you can easily get one day or more. Unless you are a very heavy user or have a lot of apps that sync data
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
just like my phone have lots of apps that need sync , and thats why i bought smartphone , so it can sync automatically and not to do it manually.
For the price you really can't go wrong, you get a stunning 300+ PPI 720p HD screen, a 12mp Camera and a decent dual core.
It's got a gorgeous UI but since it's an android you're probably going to be skinning it anyways. It feels weighty and it's sturdy, it doesn't feel cheap at all and you feel like you're holding a sturdy phone. Build quality is good, I've dropped it countless times and it's still yet to break for me.
You can unlock the bootloader officially which is good and it really isn't all that hard to root the device and install roms on it.
The downsides I'd say is the non-removable battery which for is a concern and a problem considering the battery isn't all the impressive, It lasts me from 8am in the morning to about 3-4am with low/moderate usage.
32gb for most people should be more than enough.
Again, for the price it's an amazing phone; it ain't the best phone though obviously but if you wanted a good phone you'd be looking at your Galaxy S3s or waiting for the Xperia Z

Interesting choice of adjectives as some would consider "amazing" better than "good". I held the Z in my hand at CES and didn't care for the feel. The ZL has a much better hand feel. If anything, that is the phone I'd wait for... As long as I can get it unlocked. I'm more attached to the Xperia line than the Galaxy... Although it is nice that Galaxy has official CM releases up to the current M1.

It can also be unlocked but I thought the S would be cheaper then the SL
Just buy the cheapest one, XS roms also work on SL and vice versa
any body make a custom rom for Xperia SL (Real SL)
becuase all of custom rom are Xperia S
I guess all Roms for Xperia s will be compatible with the sl. Not sure though.

Kernels are compatible too, right? I really don't matter if i end up turning the SL into an S, because, as i said before, i can get the SL for a lower price
If for some reason i would like to go back to the stock rom, could i use one of the "stock roms for xperia s thread" that is at the development section or i would have to get the stock official rom for SL?

It'll be better to get an S!! because its tries and tested and u have a lot of ppl to hold u back!! SL is just picking up!
The S is exactly the same as the SL just the SL is overclocked from the factory. I have a SL, shoulda just bought the S and saved some money.
Is something wrong with the device
i want to know is there something wrong with the hardware or anything i really want to buy it but m confused.

Bigger screen, better camera, sleek design...Xperia S ? Yellow tint issue, ICS compatibility problem, this is what i read last time

Better camera? They are exactly the same? Design? Its taste. Yellow tint issue was fixed 2 months after release. ICS problem? What the hell you are talking about?
On the other side, XS have much more and better support of devs.

I thought ive used a nice language...Ive mentioned that i read it somewhere...Not that i am firm about it...
But still Ion is a better grab than XS, bigger screen, microSD expansion slot?
And about that XS with ICS not stable, well that happens to my country set whom upgrade to ICS through OTA...Maybe yours not
Chill bro
The fact is that you are speaking about stuffs you dont own apparently, and yes, the first things you said seemed to be like: I affirm this. This is it.
No, xperia S has no screen problems since ages, and has no ICS problems..
the only argument will be: price, screen size, memory, and subjective aspect: design.
end of topic about your intervention.

Sorry if I sounded like that. The "hell" part was only a way of like: "Never heard of that".
And I didn't said you were wrong. I just presented my arguments, which are against yours.

From what ive read, every XS users who use OTA to ICS will encounter soo much lagginess...Bcoz of the second core disabled...
If its not true then its good to go though...No hardfeelings bro....
So which should be the best ? Xs or what?
XS got great support from XDA. but if you like bigger screen then may go for iON. But for a phone anything bigger than 4 - 4.3 is too much for me.
XPERIA LT26i has a reasonable speed/size internal flash at 32GB, misses out on MicroSD card, but really not a problem to hang a 32GB USB flash off a MicroUSB cable for most people.
XPERIA S is mostly cheaper
XPERIA ion has, LTE or HSDPA giving higher mobile speeds, a bigger battery and microSD card, but lose ~16GB internal flash.
The screen on both are much the same with XPERIA S having ~342 ppi pixel density and XPERIA ion less as it's screen is stretched out.
XPERIA acro S has 16GB internal memory, MicroSD AND is able to go swimming.
Firmware wise plus or minus a MicroSD the devices are all much the same with same processing hardware.
For all these devices JB(yet to be released) is mooted to have a good raft of features coming such as wireless media broadcast to compatible devices and etc
So this gives many of the software features of the new phones if you're happy to live with a ~1.7GHz Dual Core processor and an Adreno 220.
As already stated their will probably be more development around the XPERIA LT26i as it was part of the ASOP before Sony took over this development.
Go for the Xperia SL, with the latest firmware update it's fixed most of the problems. Only thing I dislike is the overheating and stock ROM forcing you to under clock your CPU during heavy use. With general everyday usage you rarely see this happen though.

Is it the issue with just Xperia SL ? Xperia S doesnt overheat ?
I am confused between xperia s and sl ( or maybe the new xperia SP , but it will lack community support in beginning ) . Your suggestions are welcomed
Odp: do u recommend to have xperia s ???

No, Xperia S isn't overheating. You can surf the Net and you won't burn your hands Only when you are playing good games(e.g. Real Racing 3) phone can be hot but it isn't 100 degrees and you would be able to play normally without problems. After a while you won't see that phone is hot.
