Does not relate to Xperia Arc.
And it is your decision, which features are more important for you.

Just make a ranked list of the features that are important to you. Then see which one has more. The other approach, probably a better one is to go to the shop and play around with both phones and see which one feels better on the spot. If however you cannot do that then play a few youtube videos of each phone and see which one looks better.
Just some ideas.

You wan't great development and quadcore power with 2 gigs:
NEXUS 4
You want to stay with Sony and like their design and the smaller size, but way less development:
XPERIA SP
You can effort about 90€ more, get the mix out of both:
XPERIA ZL
Look it up, it looks and performs great, I almost bought it, but I'm about to wait for Nexus 5 or the N1.
But the decision is yours

OF CURSE ,
but we all know that xperia play 1 is really out of date ,
we all have xpera play , cause we all are gamer , so we need a high end phone to support games as much better as a phone can !
i really hope that sony , with all it's experiences , develop this version on future . (( near future ))
The specs are wrong, quad core with only 1GB of ram? and with specs so good and only a 8mp camera?
Well, i will wait for a real news.
I hate those "articles"

This thread is from the same guy who tried to say there's a hidden hdmi port inside the play.

Hey, the Concept is nice. Don't worry, Sony was focused on the Vita. Now that the PS3 is slowly dying, and the new line of Sony phones are coming out. The new Play will come. We just need to wait. I was going to buy a Play just for the gaming, but I have a JXD Gaming Tablet.

You should know the only way of having a HDMI port on a xperia play would be by hard modding and adding tweaks to the play.
The play doesnt have a HDMI and Software support and most likely never will.
By you saying you never moded your play and have a HDMI port you are... , you should also know that if sony released a HDMI version of the play why wouldnt they have announced it. Or why didnt reviewers get any infomation on it? Simple answer is YOU ARE A LIE AND HAVE NO SENCE WHAT SO EVER!

cmon guys the 100000 article about a concept phone...
Really can you stop spamming the forum with such ridiculous news...
Since I bought this phone 1,5 month ago I at least read 3 concept threads here at xda....
Cmon I don't get it maybe you can bring light into me- but WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE ARTICLES GOOD FOR?!??!
There is some random guy - using photoshop for 10min - creating a collage of several phones on the market - taking all high end hardware you can get atm - give it a name of a famous phone with an increasing number at the end or HD in the name - and call it a "new" concept phone ...
sry
Some desingers - might really invent some "new" and good things - but all those concept threads and articles about follower/sucessor phones - are just a bad joke imho...
If it at least would be something innovative or usefull of things that didn't exist yet... but cmon - OF PHONE SUCESSORS?!?!
Created by people who not even have ANY impact on the development process of those phones....
Really next and the weak after I will present the HTC TWO, and the SAMSUNG GALAXY S 5.
And if you are patient I will also introduce the SONY XPERIA PSP UBER TABPHONE with 99-Core C/GPU from ATNvidia - wich will beat you all in the *** - but not before chistmas 2017...
thanks for your attention...

Weird, in the trhead you said it was your friends phone.

Oh God this thread should be locked.
I've seen a lot of Play disassembles and there are NO HDMI ports anywhere on the device...at all.
The only ones with HDMI were the dev models for tradeshows and expos.
This guy is a clearly a troll of epic proportions who can't let it lie that he's been rumbled.

I know that its the latest one but its not in my range. Very expensive.
HTC One X is in my range that's why i selected it . Just want your guys to review it.
I'm new in Android World :fingers-crossed:
i'll definitely buy the One X, very very supported and imo it is better than the One and it looks better the real good thing about the One is the 1080p display but the 720p is very very similar to it.....

Awesome phone, use it for a while then root it and try out the various excellent custom Roms on here to see its full potential.

Thank You All..
I appreciate that you have guided me well about this phone.
Is there any software for HTC One X that are useful in doing apps, games, movies on it ?
even in stock rom you have included video editor which is not bad, but there are better on playstore
about apps and games, if you mean coding on it, belive me youre better off on PC

Phones Similar to Arc

Hi guys I need a new phone for 2014 as my arc is getting really old, problem is i cant seem to find a phone that has all the stuff I want.
I really want the phone to be an xperia because the modding community is without equal, and would really like a removable battery, other than hat i really don't mind.
I can think of a few xperia like that however the specs are really kinda cruddy, the thing I love about the Arc the most has to be you can use it with one hand and it feels heavy and solid, not something most phones have these days
If you guys could make any suggestions I would be so grateful
Thanks
(OMG JUST AS I WAS ABOUT THIS, found the Xperia ZL, great specs, hard reset button (what i really need removable battery for) and looks so comfortable to hold

Wrong place to post. This is the General Section for Xperia Arc/S, not a forum to ask for phone recommendations. Just because you own an Xperia Arc does not give you the right to use this forum to post something unrelated.
As for your choice of phone, it will depend on what you will use it for, since each phone has a unique selling point. Also, don't gauge the phone based on specs. You need to hold the actual unit and test it out. That is why every phone retailer has a sample phone for you to hold and test before you buy the actual thing. The phone can have the best specs but if you don't like to use it, you just wasted your money.

Yeah sorry about that just really the closest forum I could figure as I was looking for a phone that was pretty much like the Arc only better specs, even if it is 3 years old it still has a special place in my heart and I still think it's better then some of the more recent phones. Kinda sad to see it go so I really wanted something similar, couldn't really think of anywhere else to post this.
And yeah I know feel is important however based the design and weight of the zl i'm pretty damn sure ill like it alot

Well if you're adamant about it I can't change your mind, but do test the phone out at your local phone retailer before buying it.

Hey everyone, I know this is not anything thaaat important but I guess sharing would be alright, since it made me smile a bit.
Our devices, Xperia M, got an award for design so I'd say if anything it just tells us that it really is a gorgeous smartphone

I wouldn't buy it again. Hardware is quite okay but the SW is very buggy. Next thing is that the tablet is not attractive for developers. So you basically have to stay with the standard stock rom.

I would say it always depends on what he's looking for. I'm pretty much happy with it as - just my 2 cent - I really like EMUI. Further more the premium version - in connection with the lecture notes app - is really great for handwritten notes and a lot of digital notebooks.
Writing my blog articles I love the multi window mode of it pretty much as well.
No need for custom ROMs at my end, as I'm petty happy with the basics I need it for.

Great tablet, it will be shame for Huawei not to publish the Android 6 ROM. Its my first tablet and i like it.
The only thing is, i don't know why, its not supported by developers. I don't like the EMUI Launcher, so the next day I've opened it for the first time, i have replaced it with Google Launcher accessible from Google Play.
I am not playing games on the tablet, bought it for maps, books and surfing. Extra feature is the stylus, which is actually more practical as i thought.
So at the end - if Huawei will offer 6.0, it was a good buy.
I have the mania: do not upgrade, developers spend it. I bought it because the computer magazine today he was given a third quality disappointment. Aluminum design, but the inside EMUI, awful. I want rotearla or throw it away.
It's a very good tablet, but till now without android 6 and I think we can forget to receive nougat.... (it's a shame for a suche good tablet)
LET US HOPE
My two cents. The hardware is pretty good but I'm not a fan of EMUI. And I'm very disapointed that it is still running Lollipop. Rumour is that we will get Marshmallow but there is no hard evidence of this as yet. And as Huawei has only just released kernel source code, there have been no custom ROMs so far. Hopefully we will get one soon.

Don't. At least until there is no update to Android6 ... which there probably won't ever be.
[edit] Didn't look at note taking pen, disregard recomendation below.
I'd look at Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016. It seems to be in the same HW bracket, comes with Android6.
