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??

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.

We do?? Where??? I can't go through all that hooha of flashing seven different things just to get jellybean. Is there a firmware I can just flash once and that's it??

I agree our software's are always crap, and as for it being picked up by Google, I'm not expecting anything from that four another year or two.... Sony are crap at supporting us....

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..

Worth trying.
Although if u r willing to stay on a smooth and fantastic featured SXS, u might as well be.. Or just take a quad core which lags quite often if rooted..
Go for it.

S3, htc one x isnt that powerfull.

Well...
Considering a CPU and updates I would do it…
Considering camera, video screen and the hdmi port, I wouldn’t do it…
Considering built material and design, I would never do it…

yeah,ur correct.only can if u care about the cpu cores and future updates.i feel xperia s is just as smooth as a phone experience can be with this latest jb firmware.camera and screen brigtness and more natural colours on xperia s.i used a galaxy s3 of my friend,my xperia s is faster though dual core,personal choice
Me am a Sony fan n won't advise u to give up this machine for any other brand part from Sony it's updates are late but bring a big difference look at ics n jb totally different now a s3 is always updated as people say but it stays the same boring dnt

just noticed my contract is up after Xmas, so was looking at what next?
xperia z1, galaxy s4 or nexus 5?
or another?
I'm currently swaying towards the nexus, but I love that the z1 is water proof

Actually i would choose Nexus 5 ahead of the others.. Z1 is waterproof, but i don't think its really worth it.. 20mp isn't like what it should be.. And bootloader can't be unlocked since Camera will be damaged further.. SGS4 lacks quality.. Although it will receive some major updates for another 1 and half year atleast.. Nexus 5 is new and will get support for another 2 years or more without doubt because of Google.. Also Nexus 5 is coming with 4.4, which is much more faster and also new features already.. I am willing to sell my SXS and go for Nexus 5 soon which is also highly unlikely..
Id get me a ZU
Size
Power
Ugh camera... (only downside)
Style (i like sony UI)
Sonys amazing ram management
Or even a nexus 5 it has that google support behind it
Edit: i asked people about the ZU, alot of people said it was nice but the camera sucked (thread link below)

@Ben36 Nexus 5 any day better than other options... U will be the first 1 to get all android updates
If u are considering Samsung, Note 3 is what I would suggest... screen quality is way better than SGS4 or Xperia Z1
I think definitely the nexus is the one too. unless there's anything due out that would be worth waiting for?

Aren't you people bored of Sony smartphones? I change manufacturer everytime, because I always need something new, something fresh, and Sony changes only hardware, software is basically the same for all their smartphones.
go for nexus if u want fast and latest android,samsung for heavy features that u mostly wont use and sluggish ui,sony is good but their software doesnt utilise the hardware,they dont use it in good way,and no timely updates.move to nokia lumia series if u dont want a smartphone hahahaha and iphone if u dont like messing with your phone :silly: for now nexus 5 or wait till xperia Z2(long time but our xperia s isnt slouch yet).i am just sad no good roms yet for xperia s,few are good but not as expected
so Nokia Lumia it is!

Actually Dual boot is not that safe i guess.. Well, Android gives an app for everything.. Windows still has to emerge.. Not much changes can be made with UI.. Unlike Android, u can change UI to virtually any kind possible.. Although its always the one who's buying has to decide what his needs are.. If it were me, i would definitely go with Android first and then iOS as my 2nd.. Just my opinion..

A thought has just occurred to me.
The recent Nexus 5 rumours led me onto a thought train. According to some of the rumours we're seeing, the new Nexus 5 may well be, to all intents and purposes, a slightly different G4, with added fingerprint scanner and USB Type-C. The rumoured specs seem to show they share the same SoC (Snapdragon 808, Adreno 418), same RAM (3Gb), same camera sensor... etc.
Theoretically, if the new handset was to share these specifications and come with stock Android (as previous Nexus devices have done), would we be able to port that ROM across to our own devices, to essentially give us stock Android (obviously with work to unlock bootloaders, or a workaround)?
Nope! Not gonna happen. Nexus 5 x will be an affordable midrange device.

Except there was no nexus 5 port to lg g2. A nexus 5x ROM would make the g4 perfect though. If only we could keep the camera set up. Oh well. The 10N update helped alot with overall feel. So let's see what marshmallow does! Hopefully it's an improvement. If love to try a vanilla experience on here though. Imagine if that's what the marshmallow update was!!!? We don't need this skin LG.

I don't want anything less than 5.5" screen. If it has that, I'll consider. Thinking about switching over to the larger Huawei Nexus.

Please give me opinion i have LG G3 but i want to change device and dont want to pay to much for latest flagships and whant to ask you guys what you think about this 2 phones.What you think about nexus 5x is it better phone over s6.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I prefer a Nexus over any other phone. Not for the design, not for the specs, ... Freedom is everything for me in a phone. Freedom to root, to unlock bootloader, to relock bootloader... and still with warranty. Plus, N5X has an incredible camera this year.
But is ois big problem can you focus easy ?

The camera is one of the 5x's best features. It focuses easily and pictures are taken effortlessly. At close distances (2m or less I believe) it uses laser auto focus such as your LG device.
Camera takes great pictures, but lacks support of recording [email protected] fps. This is an disadvantage comparing to G3.
It all depends what you like. If you like Samsung type devices with overlays then get the S6. If you like a wide variety of custom roms and kernels and all run wonderfully then get the Nex. I used to always get the latest flashship from Samsung back in the day and after experiencing Nexus and XDA I'm all Nex. In my opinion Nexus has the best devs and fact is roms run ALOT better on a Nexus vs anything else. Less bugs, no bugs. I've had many devices since Android began and I love my Nexus's more than any! Now they are making Nexus phones with beefed up specs and cameras. I'm happier than ever. ?
Ps: If I was you I'd wait a few more months and grab one of the next Nexus devices.

It will cost more the new nexus than this nexus 5x
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Stock Android (supported til end of 17) vs TouchWiz
plastic vs glass/metal build
S6 slightly more expensive than N5x (at least in Germany atm)
comparable hardware specs and quality incl camera
I think both devices are different enough to make a decision if you answer what's more important for you.
I want to ask about the birtgtness about nexus 5x is it good for sunlight in day because on lg g3 its a litbe bit hard to see.

And are picture taken form nexus are blurry because dont have OIS ? I mean he cant focus fast and maybe sometimes pic are blury because missing ois.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
It's not the brighest of all displays, but it's alright. Comes down to what you want to do with it in bright sunlight.
I only miss OIS when recording 4k vids, there's no way for me to get them shake-free unless using a tripod or resting the phone somewhere. Rest of the time there are no problems. There's also a hack to enable EIS on the N5x (it's a N6p feature, but they share camera), needs root though iirc.
Is nexus 5x with android N a beast or no.I think the s6 will be best choice and for sure it will be updated to android N the s6.

If you don't care about root (Verizon S6 doesn't have root past lollipop) and just want a solid reliable basic phone, I would go with the S6. I have both and the S6 is my daily driver. Main reason is I am on Verizon and they don't really support unlocked devices and when i tried my Nexus it was dropping calls. However, i didn't put any effort to make it better. I'm on my Nexus flashing all the time and i need my S6 in case I get a phone call. Nexus however is far more fun and I would get rid of my S6 before I got rid of my Nexus.
I want phone with nice and smooth performance and nice camera and i hope s6 will get android N btw i will buy international s6.

I have just exchanged from a unlocked s6 to the nx5, best move I have ever contemplated and done. I have until getting a gs6 always been a Nexus fan, from a Nexus one all the way till a Nexus 5 they have always been the device that suits me. Until the s6 came out with the new shiny glass casing I thought well this new device needs a try ? god I was so wrong to take the GS route the software is SH-IT! I rapidly traded my device back to a N5X and have never looked back ??
But for sure s6 will have better performance than nexus 5x
