Hi guys,
I am really confused between these, not able to decide next phone.
Currently using xperia Arc, wat do u suggest..
sent from xperia aRc !!
Note all the way
Better hardware
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
The Note have a BIG screen, both advantages and disadvantages. But if you feel like you can live with the disadvantages with a very big phone it is awsome with that big screen.
The xperia S appears to be a very nice phone too. take a look on this epic review!
http://www.swedroid.com/sony-xperia-s-review/
Xperia S camera is better than Galaxy note
but Galaxy note hardware is better than Xperia S
yeah that is what, actually I am still big fan of Sony mobiles but Xperia S somehow NOT forcing me to change from xperia Arc to S !!!
Look wise xperia Arc rock, camera also doesn't impressed me, also I will miss the physical buttons if I go for Xperia S..
I'd pick Note. Better hardware and enormous screen(it might be a problem for some of us, but I think it's just ideal. Fits in my pocket.)
If you ask me, i'll go with Note,
The Xperia S is great with its floating touch feature and the Note had bigger screen and beat the Xperia S with it's hardware, in my opinion (i don't own one anyways)
Wooh gr8 to see xperia owners suggesting for Note
will be getting galaxy note next weekend.

Nice
Tell us how you like it then

IMO Note. It would work as your phone + tablet. Only need carry one device.
Yeah.
And the new Xperias were also nice last year. Still don't get how Sony could use the old S3 CPU in the 2012 Xperias...

I say note is mini tablet not mobile
I dont like any of them...
It would be great an Arc S with updated hardware
well, neither.
i guess asus padfone is a better implementation of tablet+phone than the galaxy note..
arc/arc s with non plasticity body, 4.65inch screen, better hardware is what i want this year..
supposedly it call the hayabusa.
but for now i'll root for xperia s due to it pocket able size, better camera,better screen and sound than the note..
Does anyone of you already have Galaxy Note? If yes, can u confirm if Xperia launcher works well on Note???

I don't own one, but Xperia launcher should work on Note. There's a thread somewhere in Xda. There is an .apk that works like any other launcher.
My wife has a Note. She loves it. I on the other hand am not that excited about it but I'm not a hardware geek. I like a phone that's practical and that I can use with one hand. I love my Arc S and my next phone will probably be from the Xperia series.

I prefer Xperia S, it more useful and its not so big like galaxy note, I just dont like the size of galaxy note, its not efficient

i would wait for ONE X, GSG III or maybe another one from Sony
I surely like Sony design...

I would love a Xperia Nexus but hope the design would be better than that one. So far I haven't heard any info from my sources.

Fake, check out this update from a Photoshop expert above the pic in attached link. http://androidandme.com/2012/10/smartphones-2/did-the-sony-nexus-x-just-leak-out/
Plus everyone knows LG has the next Nexus phone locked in, there's not yet been more than one release at a time why would this occasion be any different? Just doesn't make sense really.
Now the next one we can only hope... eb

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.

Nexus is a pure android phone. No custom UI or restrictions. Gets updates as soon as Google releases them and always runs the latest os.

What's so awesome about the nexus? Ive never had one and I wanted the first one but never could afford a smart phone until now. Ive seen some talk about the Sony Odin having 5inch 1080p display 2gigs of ram and a new quad-core cpu, why so much hype about a nexus?
Edit- also just an fyi this isn't me trying to put the nexus down just an honest question

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.

we're not "god damn" obliged to answer you either
1) the graphics aren't "f***ing" bad - it's just that the S3 is newer and much more expensive. for the price we bought our arc at the display is not bad at all actually I dare say its better than over contrasted and over saturated super amoled.
2) you're playing a game of course it will get hot. you mean other phones don't get hot? unless, or course, its very hot even when you leave it on idle.

I am considering selling my Xperia s for the new Samsung s4. Is anyone else?
I love my phone but I am tired of the lack of software support from Sony. I can't believe we still haven't gotten jelly bean it really is ridiculous.
Anyone else considering this change??
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
No. We already have fully working Jelly Bean 4.1.2, and 4.2.2. I would consider selling my Xperia just for a different sized phone.
True the current 4.1.2 roms are soo solid and stable they'll be better than Sony's when it's released anyway. It's a guarantee the first release of Sony will have buggy where as our 4.1.2 roms will only get better using the newly released sony drivers

I'm going to buy HTC One in May, leaving SXS for my wife. It's good phone, worth to keep at home. Samsung - no, enough Sammy products for now.
I will sell it for HTC One, done with xperia and poor care for premium user from sony.

Are you administrator, or god to say me what i can and what i cant.
the s4 is so underwhelming and ugly and cheap looking that it won´t stand a chance against the new nexus, h2 sony and moto x.
i´ll gladly wait a few months for a good phone and not sell my phone for a phone which emphasizes on software gimmicks like floating touch (sony sola says hello).
samsung is the apple of android and by that a bad copy of apple
Man, do not compare crappy crApple to android phones! Cheap plastic? And how you wrote these words? On metal made keyboard?
Samsung isnt any better with updates.for example Many Samsung phones with same specs as Arc didnt even get icecream sandwich.Jelly bean is getting released within a month but you are free to buy any cellphone from any manufacturer u please,just stop making threads about it.

samsung wants to be apple of android, so why shouldnt i compare them? furthermore samsung obviously copied apple multiple times.
why u compare the material of my keyboard with a flagship phone with a high price?
Close this useless thread please..
To the op.. It's like selling a child Coz pants don't fit in..
Wait, Sony is releasing JB in April. Then we will have more development and better and stable JB roms.. Just my opinion.. Not being GOD or anything..

wait a bit more and see whether jelly bean is good or not, and then decide, although jelly bean for other sony 2012 phones are also somehow buggy
currently, i advice: DON'T BUY IT! unless you are fine with a slow and buggy and battery hungry phone
Battery hungry is an understatement

True, but the big screen is great for videos and gaming. Camera is decent and phone is well built and sturdy. Get the international version for the unlocked bootloader and more custom roms.

Just got it myself. I'm happy. Want my opinion? Just get it.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
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.

Well, if you're talking about display, camera and other features, then yes. However, performance of the One S is much better because of the Krait processor and Andreno 225 GPU.

Don't bother with the HTC one s unless you want to be part of the disgusting home button bug. It's annoying and hardware fault. I WAS gonna get that phone to. Google search and YouTube that bug before considering that phone.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
thanks for all your replies..the only thing thats holding me back now after seeing all views is limited development for Ion.
Dude, get it.
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.
Oh and the screen is awesome.
