As stated from title , im wish to get an xperia arc since its camera is good and used sony x10 , which was fun flashing custom roms. Just wondering whether there are any problems with the phone and is there customs on the phones ?

Personally, at this time, it's much better to look for a newer released phone. Probably a dual core with a bigger internal memory. But if camera is your main thing, then go for arc plus it's design is really a beauty. And for average usage, arc is enough.

I wouldnt buy a sony again.
And is the arc's camera still the best? My friend says his S2 beats my arc's camera in test.

I just got mine delivered today. Compared to X10, it is a jump forward. I like it so far, fast and responsive. Galaxy S2 looks good but at $150 more compared to arc.

Hmmmm . Im using optimus 2x , and well not much customization like timescape and those things. Like those things when i was on x10 . Anyways got the 2x for gaming but then im growing older and my speed is getting slower so dual cores arent my thing anymore . So yea ill reconsider about getting the phone.

Let's, first, see how things develop on the Galaxy SII/Galaxy series front. Apple has already got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 banned in Europe for copyright infringements, and it's seeking a ban of the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy range of phones in the US, too.

Well, that's debatable. The SGS2 takes pretty good pictures as well.

I have used following phones:
HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S, iPhone 4, Xperia X10 & Arc
I can say that I was never satisfied with the ugliness of HTC & cheapness of Samsung.
HTC Desire was always short of Internal Memory, Samsung KIES sucks a big time, touch screen is aweful.
iPhone is good phone but not for me, nothing much to do
Xperia X10 was a good effort from SE but lacks proper updates.
Xperia Arc is complete package:
1. Awesome design (best of all android devices, even better than iFail)
2. Best Camera.
3. Decent video recording.
4. Great Sound (compared to HTC, Samsung)
5. Impressive UI & touch screen.
6. Regular updates from SE as well.
only RAM is 512 (not a major problem)
But again, its my opinion

I think this will help you.
Here is the Camera Test(Not by ME):
http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=1&idPhone1=3619&idPhone2=3621&idPhone3=3598
From the above you can see ARC have Good Quality.
In My Opinion:
Camera Quality is very good when compared to SG,Desire.
i was using the X10 since sept 2010 and i was holding out for a SE dual core phone, but the X10 was just too slow.
I just got an Xperia Arc used on Craigslist, so it price was good.
As for the camera quality, every thing looks good on the camera screen, but i haven't reviewed or taken enough pictures to make a good judgement about the Xperia Arc's camera.
However, from the few that I have reviewed, it does take better night pictures, but they are FILLED with noise. I have kept all the photos on my SD card. I used to have a K750 --> K800 --> X10 --> Arc and I just keep moving the pictures over from the memory sticks and you definitely see the improvement in camera quality, except from the X10 --> Arc.
If you can get it for a good price, I would just upgrade, sell the X10 for whatever you can get, and then wait it out for a dual core SE or have fun with it until you decide to drop the big bucks for a SGS2 or something that is WAY faster.
The Arc's speed is much better than the X10's but it's still a bit laggy, esp with a huge SMS history and Whatpapp logs...

Wow seriously? I hadn't heard that, on what grounds?
It was my second day owning an arc in the US. Of course I have been digging threads to find a way to easily root this US model. Also the new firmware update is not available for US. It makes me think, isn't the United States a big market for SE, why don't they have the US a little higher priority?

Hmmm planning to sell off my x10 but waiting for SE dual cores will take a long time and im not aiming dual cores that much . Hardly use it for gaming . Only listen to music , msn , calls ,msgs and couple of vids before i go to bed and alot of picture taking when im in my lecture halls. So yea, those things dont require much power

My previous phone was HTC Desire HD, now my first choice is Samsung Galaxy Note but it is very very very expensive, i can get arc S about 250 Pounds cheaper, what should i do?????
Hows it like to have Xperia arc S? or arc
if you're not that much of a power user and just uses a smartphone for daily handheld internet browsing, some casual gaming, wants to take really good pictures, watch and listen to music and videos from time to time, and wants to be cool and stylish...
the arc/s is more than enough...it's just too dang sexy!
december is also a month where gadgets are an all time low (at least here in my country afaik) so if you're looking to buy an arc/s, xmas season would be a good time...
otherwise, if you're that techy person who likes to try out different stuff with smartphones of all sorts, then uhm imho, i'd wait for a better model that rolls out next year...
*the only thing i dislike about my arc is that it doesn't have a front cam... =(
even if it ain't dual core, i can pretty much utilize the most of it anyways...
Yup. Better wait for 2012 lineup now. Dual core & some say quad processor is a must
If you in the market for Sony wait better handsets are coming

The Arc S is just an overclocked Arc. You can do that yourself if you root it.

I also came from desire hd. I use my arc more intensely than my desire hd. Stock rom rooted nothing more. Better battery life, better camera, better everyyhing. I play hd games for good hours experience once in a while lags.

I suggest you to wait and see the 2012 lineup, maybe the Nozomi is the one for you, or maybe the galaxy Note is not as expensive as it is right now.
In my case I'm very happy with my Arc, specially with the design (the most beautifull up to date to me) and it can run all the apps that i need without problem.

thanks All,
i have already ordered a Xperia Arc S, but unfortunately i am having issues with my mobile company over some previous address, well i will try to sort it out if not than i will push vodafone for Galaxy nexus.
My ARC is just arriving next week...
I am so eager to put my hands on it...

Cool. You'll love it.
Haha I'm also from desire hd too..end using a Arc.
Well I like the physical buttons below.no need to press the top button to wake up the phone.
But might wanna get arc s..since it's on a 1.4ghz processor.
Then again there be many models that coming out on at least 1.5ghz dual core etc phones.

Yes, I would also like to know how satisfied Arc owners are, if the rumors of the Arc HD (Nozomi) are true. It's a beautiful phone, and having owned three different iPhones, I can say that is the thing I miss the most since I switched in November to Android. I know that the SE Android phones have not exactly been spec kings, but has that been really noticeable with your current Arcs?

It's a quite satisfying phone to have, I love mine.
There are always phones that are better and phones that are worse though.
It's a never-ending process.
There is absolutely no difference between ARC or ARC S except Arc S has 1.4Ghz processor.
The only reason i upgraded to Arc S was for the 3D Multiangle, but SE never included that feature
If you get yourself an Arc S at least you won`t have the bother of unlocking bootloader to overclock
NB. I Still love my ARC, best phone i`ve ever had

Not true at all.
Arc S scores much better than Arc is every benchmark.
Plus is has double download/upload speed (from 7.2 to 14.4)
Anyway it's a great phone.
I'd say double core doesn't matter yet. Arc works like a charm.
Interesting. I'm guessing Sony has some optimization/HW acceleration that others don't have. I heard how smooth the SGSII (AT&T SGH-i777) was, but when I switched from the 4s, it still felt slower than either my 4 or 4s, and while it may have been better at surviving a fall, it just felt cheap. That's why I want to find out about the Sony devices before I waste any time (and $35) trying them out.

hi everybody!
i am searching to buy a device around 300 euros and i dont know what to choose xperia s or galaxy nexus?
about xperia s,i am consider about buying the device cause i dont know if it will get updated/supported anymore after jelly bean.
also i would like to ask a few things from ppl who own the phone.
first of all,does it work well with ics?(i found a topic said that xperia s works better with gb)
then about games.Can i buy and play games out of the box without any problems,lags etc?
i would like games like gta,nova 3,nfs most wanted etc...
how is the performance generally? does it got too much bloatware?
when we get the jb update,the phone will have the xperia launcher or the jb launcher?
finally,today is it worth to buy the phone or it is too old?
what else can i buy? i consider most about the support of the phone vs the nexus which has a great support from google
Hi,
I have continuous issues with mobile data and WiFi drop out, the phone lags a lot, music shutters a lot. I would not recommend buying an XS, I'm disappointed with this phone. Though when it runs well, it really runs well and the sony features are quite nice, too, as their UI. Also they suck with the updates big time and I don't think we'll see any new Android versions after JB. The phone will be too old by then. Oh, and on GB I never had any issues besides a few random reboots that I have on ICS as well. And if u go for the XS, make sure your bootloader is unlockable, otherwise u won't be able to flash custom kernels. The screen is stunning though

Okay, than gives us the alternatives available at your budget. XS is a fine phone...I expected it to be amazing, but really it's not.
I bought mine for the screen and design. If you want better specs and updates, there are other phones out there. I have rooted mine and installed cyanogenmod, and expect this to support android 4.2 and maybe beyond.
That said, I've played quite a few games without any problems at all, and they really do look great on that beautiful screen!

hmm other alternatives are samsung galaxy nexus,samsung galaxy s2, htc one s and generally phones that cost about 300 euros.
my problem is that i wont buy other phone soon,so i need a device that can last 2-3 years without problems. that's why i am interested about the support of the device. i dont want to buy something and after 1,2 months will be unsupported by the manufacture.
also i want a phone where i can play games without lags etc.
Games runs well... No lags at all... But GTA VC dont work on ICS...
Performace is good ..
I love XS because i like NXT series design..

It is an awesome phone, better than all others you mentioned in my opinion, but you might just go for the galaxy nexus also but keep in mind that it will be only supported until the next nexus is released. Its really a matter if choice.

what do u think about samsung galaxy s3 mini?
is it worth to buy?
unfortunately galaxy nexus isn't available at my country! it was sold out from all the shops and they told me they wont have any more.
also jelly bean will be the last update for the xperia s?
so is still xperia s my best choice?
So you want a phone that the manufacturer will support for atleast 2 years from now( 2013 onwards) .. Simple --Dn't buy XS ..
Sony might support it for 6 months max now coz XS was released in 2012..
I bought XS for its looks n decent performance... It wouldn't wow you on performance or updates but XS will surely attract a lot of attention for it looks ..
Its 2013 now, so check out some phones from 2013 ...

If you want a high resolution display and retina beating sharpness at a reasonable price, then buy the Xperia s, but it might not get updated beyond jelly bean, if you want updates, buy a 2013 model. S3 mini doesn't come close to xperia s in terms of hardware, although in terms off software it is ahead

also with the jelly bean update will have all the sony's bloatware or will be a clean rom?

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.

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

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.

Haiyo...for starter, I got both xperia zl and t..both run on 4.2.2...but worder why my xperia t is much faster and smoother than zl and picture more detail in low light in t than zl...both not root by the way...I have compare both, when opening apps and capturing photo...when opening apps, t is slight faster, the same when in browser..and my 13mp t more detail than zl..and it seem the screen is better to..I haven't do a benchmark test yet..but just wondering why dual core more easy to use than quad core...hmm

That maybe truth but the real thing about the ZL is that have LTE speed, support up to 64 GB mini SD, latest Android OS, NFC communication, 5.2 inch display (441ppi) running on the Bravia engine 2, infrared port. These are mainly the advantages over the Xperia T

Well, I know this but isn't zl suppost to be superior than t in any way...the advantage that you stated is software related but isn't the purpose of quad core is to be faster and more superior processing power than the dual core....well maybe because all of this new features that make the phone slightly slower than the older t...but despite all this, I just hope the camera in zl is more powerful than t, but from my point of view, maybe it's not...not even the latest update make up for that...hope another update will fix it...still love the zl though...and it's only 5 inch, not 5.2 by the way...

Are you running the latest firmware (.244) on your ZL? it seems to be noticeably snappier than the original 4.2.2 ROM (.423), should also be quicker than an xperia t

Yup..running 4.2.2 (244) on my zl..and to be corrected, my t is running 4.1.2...just test it today again...and yes zl is slightly faster than 423 but still slower a bit than t...it seems everything I opened, t is just instant...but zl seems take a little bit microsecond to open compare to t...both of them just run a factory reset, just to be sure...but still, t still faster..wonder why..and my model is C6502...
Run 3dmark on both phone and post results. I'd be intrested in the results

I kinda agree with OP. I have both T (TL actually) and ZL . TL is probably the fastest phone I have ever used - that thing literally flys. But after the latest update, ZL got very snappy too. Try the stock launcher in case you are using something else.I saw some stutter on Nova so I switched back to stock launcher which runs very smoothly now. Also please keep in mind that majority of these phone apps are not optimized to take advantage of quadcore SoCs and 720p screen on T gives it some advantage when it comes to rendering. TL display also seems to have more contrast especially if you compare the red Xperia wallpaper on both phones
Camerawise, my TL did take better low light pictures before ZL got updates. After the last two updates on ZL, I saw significant improvement in picture quality and I'm really happy with its low light pictures now. With that said, I was surprised how much more detail ZL (running the first firmware) captured in extremely low light situation compared to galaxy S4. It was a huge difference - night and day and things got just better after the latest update.
By the way, ZL is way more compact than TL (higher screen to size ratio), comes with two more cores, IR blaster, and FHD display, looks much better in my opinion, gives much better battery life compared to TL (more than 2X in my case) - So I'd pick it over T.

Well this is the benchmark result..the first two is zl and the second two is t..not surprising zl is faster but from my opinion the t is still slightly faster...and also only made the test once..
And I also agree with you about your statement, in the end, I also choose zl over t...thanks...

Benchmarks don't do a justice to T, right? They all are craps anyway - work only for 'expert' reviewers. By the way, you're not using any launcher app on ZL, right? I noticed a bit of lag on Nova after the latest update. So I switched back to stock launcher and it feels very snappy.

Yup, just as expected anyway...when benchmarking, it's seems they effectively use all the core for this result..so more core more score...
Like 7 said, maybe some of the new updated apps not optimized for quad so maybe for real life usage, it feels slower than more optimized phone even though its older..maybe more updates will solve it...
And no, I'm not using any launcher app. If I do I will be using the widget anyway cause xperia widget is to small and not eye catching enough..it's a matter of style anyway...
It's been a long time sinse I'm not using an android phone, so after I got these two and compare it, it just kept me over night, thinking..well, anyone need a snappy phone right..?

I first owned the Xperia T and switched to ZL because I wanted LTE. I didn't notice differences in speed, both worked really well. One thing I noticed, is the much better battery life of the Xperia ZL. This was besides LTE a main concern when I used the Xperia T.
Nonetheless, a used Xperia T is one of the best deals you can get (at least in Germany) if you don't need LTE and long battery life.

Yup, I test it and some difference can be seen.. But I also acknowledge about the battery life..I have test to watch blu-ray video about 2 hours and surprisingly it still got 85% more battery in it without using power management...I have using more android power devises and when I watch it, it will drain half the battery in this format video in that length...really love the zl...
