what do you mean by xperia arc s is not outdated? I mean, is it a good phone?
Go for it...
Well, since you are posting in Xperia Arc/S subforum, I don't know how much "objective" answers you can get, but nevermind, here is my answer.
I bought my Arc S about month and 1/2 ago, and I'm ultra satisfied with this phone, design-wise and function-wise...
I was in love with this phone since it was announced, and now when I own one, I'm in love even more.
What you will get, is one of the most beautifully and originally designed phone on market, if not the most beautiful and original. I'm afraid that this is the last brave and risk-taking design in smartphone market, but only time will tell.
Hardware-wise, you will get a little bit outdated hardware (heh, who could imagine year ago that we will speak about 1.4GHz mobile processors as "outdated"), but capable enough to run Gingerbread ultra smoothly, and to run recent ICS updates tolerably fast. After all, you will have phone with official SONY branded ICS, and it will not feel outdated at all. I don't know how big your budget is, but my vote goes for Arc S, as it is killer design-wise, and to me it looks much better than new NXT Xperia 2012 line.
Its a nice phone :thumbup:
At the same price you can find a galaxy s 2...choose that, there is a really more active ROM development support...
Then I own an arc s...and for gaming is ****. The same games work flawlessly on the galaxy s 2...

Hey.. I also switched to SE from Nexus S.. And I can tell you, you wont be happy with Xperia 2011 family.. Its got the same hardware as Nexus S and is a bit outdated. Also the development is far less in these devices than we find in the Nexus Forum.. You'll better chose Galaxy Nexus which comes with the same price tag as the Arc/S..

Pros: The best designed phone out there. No manufacturer (not even Sony) can come up with such a beauty ever again.
Music is great, Sound output is terrific and in-call sound is audible even in noisy environments.
OS look and feel is terrific and it offers plenty of features (DLNA, HDMI, built in panaroma) that many phones lack.
Cons: Hardware. The OS is painfully slow. Even gingerbread is not upto the mark. many on this forum have completely forgotten that the contact/messaging hangups occured in 2.3 as well. After ICS update, the phone became terribly laggy that we started believing that GB worked well. Trust me, once you fill up your phone memory with apps, the phone will die from inside! Ever wonder why people run after custom ROMS even though Sony's official UI offers more features?
Camera: Still camera is decent but the phone is just not made to shoot HD videos. Give it a pass. With ICS update, camera performance has degraded.
Final words. Go get yourself a phone with latest hardware. Sony Xperia S/P may not look as pretty from outside but they do exceptionally well from inside. The UI is new and phone supports many other features (All 3.5mm headphones are supported/NFC etc etc).
If your budget allows, try HTC One X, Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S3.
Or wait for the 2012-13 series of Xperia phones with S4 processor.

Looks like Sony have answered your/our prayers! the new Xperia line has arc design and better build quality and the benchmarks are now showing them as better performers than most flagships out there. The Dual Core S4 has an upper hand over Quad Cores. Go get yourself an Xperia T/TX. Xperia V is overpriced.
No one can beat Sony in design!
+1 , Xperia TX has the same design as Arc S (well at least it is curved as the Arc S) and its processor looks to be promising !!
Will be my next phone by the way, just waiting for it to reach the market ^^
I agree totally with everything you said,it might not be the newest phone but it's so customizable!!, keeping it up to date.

i don't really play much
Then go for Arc S. Problem solved...
You won't find prettier phone.
I have a newest Ics update and i's not slow or laggy. Camera quality compared to gb is better ( sony resolved over compression problem ), video is the same, only audio is worse cause mono but i's not a big difference. I'm not a game player so for me it's a decent upgrade after htc desire...

EDIT: -i can see that the green liquid logo still exists in XPERIA T but not in XPERIA V nor XPERIA J. all these three phones have curve in their back plate just like XPERIA ARC
-new WALKMAN, ALBUM, and MOVIE apps look even better than the current ones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ork4bbC85E&feature=context-gfa

Watching now, at work. haha. thanks
M getting the v
The sale of the Xperia T in Europe in a few weeks left the Xperia ION in a very compromised situation in the market.
Yeah the ion is a waste of an upgrade, especially now. Had it been released back in January or even a few months after, then the ion would have been popular. Sony f'd up but that's in largely thanks to att. Then again, things like the wifi signal and the battery life, the ion feels like a step back even compared to my x10.

ION was the real flagship before arrival of Xperia T. It's a shame that Sony did not launch for months, along with xperia s. Now who will buy the Xperia ION, having better options in the market?
It was perfect if you ask me, killer phone with killer specs for free..... Thank you ATT, Sony and anyone else that was responsible.

Xperia v vs ion
The new Bond Phone in Singapore is Xperia V. I went to Singtel yesterday and tested the Xperia V with my ion, results were disappointing.
1. The screen on the ion beats the Xperia V so much. Contrast so much better and deeper blacks on the Ion.
2. I have installed the Cybershot V4 and i compared the camera on both phones. Superior Auto on V and HDR auto on Ion, the xperia v's 13mp camera gave me a pic of 2.2mb photo size and the Ion 12Mp camera gave me a 2.95mb photo size . (Same Photo)
3. Yea, the ions lags slightly on CPU speed, but its very Minor.
3a. Yea, the onscreen buttons may seem not so responsive on the ion, but after all the firmware updates, all the touch screen Mods, its almost Perfect.
4. After looking at the outlook of the Xperia V, i found out that i prefer my Ion looks(Aluminium back) , although its slightly thicker. In fact i feel that Xperia Arc looks better then the V.
5. The screen is larger then the V.
6. Internal Storage is more then the V.
XPERIA ION ROCKS!!!!!

haha. So coincidence. I posted something similar days ago. choosing between Ion and V. From Singapore too.
In Singapore, V is the bond phone as T is not launched there.
The lag on the Ion is hardly a dealbreaker imo. I am actually pleasantly surprised because the s2 skyrocket lags a lot more. Sony's UI is closer to stock android so that helps keep the lag down. It doesn't really lag that much in the first place for me though. It's honestly the best UI I have ever used on an android phone. The bottom line is that the snapdragon s3 processor is more than capable of running ics and jb. If you're someone that needs the absolute fastest then you wouldn't be looking at dual core phones anyways, haha.
where can i find these on screen mods to make the buttons more sensitive? thanks
^ try searching. Or looking in the theme and app section.

Xperia v has s4 processor, much better than old s3. Also u get better ui and a better walkman. Also Xperia v is expected to get jelly bean before Xperia ion. U also get bravia engine 2.

i am a xperia s user who got this phone during ealry 2013,maybe i am late but xperia s isnt that old as many people think.launched with android 2.3,updated to android 4.0.and took a year for a final android 4.1 update.updates were good but i feel xperia s was killed before its life cycle,because of sony delays.and what about xperia ion,its still left with .200 buggy firmware.if 18 months is the life cycle,is the matter all say to justify,what about xperia sl.it is still in its living stage.i just wanted to know am i the only to think so or there are more people who think the same ? and dont give the reason about snapdragon s3 drivers.if sony really wants to update,its not hard for a big company.please share your thoughts.xperia s and its brothers deserved a taste of kitkat but killed coz of the update delays
You are right bro.. Sony Xperia S update sucked big time.. As a normal phone Xperia S is great to be honest but as advanced users Xperia series should be avoided..I have seen far more developer interest for my Galaxy S which I bought in 2011(too late) saw far more developer support than the Xperia S.
Developer interest in Xperia phones is lukewarm at best..
Sony Playstation and TVs are great but Sony sucks when it comes to phones and their crappy VAIO laptops..
Sony don't want to release anymore drivers because our Snapdragon S3 uses an old and slow architecture ( Scorpion ) and they completely abandoned it for Krait.
Despite our processor being slow as f***, I don't care much about anything else.. our device can do almost everything an Xperia Z2 can, but of course not as good as Sirius does it, but it can. Now i'm currently porting and flashing Z2 apps and mods to keep my XS alive.
With some heavy modding and the right things in the correct places, my Xperia S runs smooth and almost never lags. I have Sony's latest apps. The only reasons I think about of buying a Z2 or maybe a Z3 (dunno how it's going to be called) is because of XS's small screen, the crappy and plastic build, the lack of 4G and the battery..
And so many great developer from here move to latest xperia and leave us alone... So sad... this device can't live without support from developer.

Hello xperia M people!!
I am here to ask you 1 question.
Xperia M or Xperia L?
I have searched the differences but sometimes the appearances are deceptive..
One friend of mine thinks of buying one of these two.What should I recommend him and why?
Thanks a lot ^_^.

Notable things;
Xperia M can be upgraded to 4.3 whilst the Xperia L is still on 4.2.2,
The Xperia M only has a 4" touch screen whilst the Xperia L has a 4.3" touch screen,
The Xperia M has a slightly higher pixel density (245 vs 228) meaning a slightly crisper display,
The Xperia M has a 5MP camera while the Xperia L has an 8MP camera,
They both have the same quality front-camera (0.3MP),
They have the same processor speeds and cores (both have a Dual core, 1000MHz processor),
They both have the same graphics processor,
They both have the same RAM,
The Xperia M has less built in storage compared to the Xperia L,
The battery life appears to be slightly better in the Xperia M.
Overall it seems to me as though the Xperia L is a more camera focused smartphone while the Xperia M is a more all round smartphone.
If your friend will be taking a lot of photos it is worthwhile going for the L due to the camera and storage space, if they won't be taking many photos then the M is the better option.
If you have enough money buy xperia L but if you have lots of money buy z1.
I only enough money to buying xpeeri m,so i buy it
