Xperia sp is 300$ more expensive than the ion

Why shouldn't I buy one?

never buy sony phone.As you buy it ,you will be disappointed.No good rom,no better service,also they will not give you any update when the phone is old,even one years old devise.
thats weird because SP is cheaper than ION here in my country. I think there are better choices out there. You may want to look on mediatek powered phones. they are much cheaper than qualcomm. I'm not sure of the built quality though. I'm on a rebranded micromax a114 right now and its working good and awesome, they're almost half the price of international brands
any positive opinion???

If you can get it in your country, the xiaomi redmi is right within your budget. Even the Xperia V is a great alternative. Ion has a snapdragon s3, so it's a fact that it is slower and more power hungry than even the 1st gen s4 processors.

It depends on what you expect from it.
If you're aiming for software updates or installing latest apps or a bug free experience then stay away from the phone.
Camera is ok.
Touchscreen isnt that great but ok ok.
You can install latest custom roms but dont expect bug free experience.

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!

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

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.

I want a phone that is similar to the defy in physical shape and durability, but with more power and mininimum jb as stock.
Have been loooking a bit on the xperia z, but it is not very rugged and rather big . and Ideally i want to wait until BT low energy Api becomes part of android.
i would disqualify Motorola for the way they broke ics upgrade promisises.. but i cant overlook just how much beating my defy have faced without a scratch... so if they are the only maker of a phone with those traits.....

I'm not sure if we get an option to buy the Motorola phones here in India, anybody who can throw some light on this is appreciated. I have a DEFY not planning to sell.
PS: Whenever I go to these stores here in India, the seller Moto models are not available & they don't stock it. I'm aware of Motorola closing doors here, but any other ways to buy?
As I generally avoid buying Samsung products, the only two phones that I consider at the moment are:
Razr HD
Xperia Acro S
Xperia V
While I really think that the Razr I is a nice phone, there is no CM for it yet (and I have my doubts that it will ever be).
For now, I stay with the Defy because of the form factor (for me, the size is just right) and the community.
I'm in two minds whether to buy it s3 or nexus 4!
