Hello Everyone
Sorry if this was posted before, but I'm planning on switching from Xperia Arc S to Xperia P
I was reading through online reports / reviews from here, CNET, Sony's official website.
and I'm kinda confused, I know it's for sure better than the Arc S but I was wondering is it really worth upgrading?!
The main reason for me to upgrade is to avoid the lags / freezes I'm getting on ICS even after removing bloatwares, adding build.prop values and running init.d scripts (unless there is something else I'm missing).
So what do you think guys is it worth the upgrade?! Are there any stupid lags or are the Dual-core CPU and 1GB RAM doing their job?!
Also is Sony WhiteMagic technology really helping users to see under strong light? I can barely see my Arc S screen when I'm not under a roof !!
What about GPU?! I read a while back that Adreno 205 (which is included in the Arc S) is better than Mali-400MP unless that fact is changed
Thanks in advance

Adreno 205 is way weaker than Mali-400. The fact that Galaxy S3 uses Mali-400 is enough. Adreno 220 or 225 could match Mali-400, but Adreno 205 can't.

WOW I didn't see that coming !! Thanks for pointing it out for me
What about the dual-core CPU?! is it doing it's job?! CNET Review made me somewhat confused :-/
Surely dual core means something no lags whatsoever for me on offial ICS

I'm sorry for all the questions but I still have more
I read here that unlocking the bootloader is not really recommended for Xperia P?
Well I did that for my Arc S so I can flash custom kernels and always be rooted, I can't stay without root or else I wouldn't be able to test a single thing of Droid Manager :-/
Or else I wouldn't care about rooting the phone since I don't flash themes nor mods, I like the OS the way it is
I go to Xperia P from Xperia Neo. Xperia P is fast enought and not need for custom ROMs! In games Xperia p is faster as Xperia Neo with overclocked CPU up to 1,8 ghz, for example, Dead space on Neo lag in scenes with monsters, but on Xperia P whole game go smooth!

Well I don't really care about overclocking since I rarely overclock my Arc S, besides, it's a dual core CPU for a smart phone OS I don't think there will be a need for overclocking taking in consideration that I only play Temple Run, Unblock me when I'm board :angel:. I was just somewhat afraid from not finding it's performance smooth enough, but after all the feedbacks I got I think I'm gonna head for one in the next couple of days
it has good performance for a phone, it's beautiful, and with official ICS you have extended standby mode that can make your phone live some more days, I mean with "normal" phone use you can stay up to 2days more, so you charge it every 3 days, maybe 4 if you don't use it, that's quite good, IMO it's the perfect phone because of the price and it's 4' screen (above it's too large for me)
About the whitemagic tech, it's really good. Even when the sun shines on the screen I can see it. And not only barely see it like with the iphone 4 or the x10, it is really bright! I would dare to say that it's the brightest screen on the market for now. Else the phone is really smooth, does not lag, only right after boot for me, cuz I added a huge load of widgets. I scroll once through the homescreens and it's gone
That's exactly what I needed to know
Thanks guys for your feedbacks
Ok I haven't yet got the Xperia P
but I was reading online and I found it has Bluetooth 3?! and "Has a Corning® Gorilla® Glass display" ?! is that true?!

No, Bluetooth 2.1 and a hardened glass display that is produced by Sony in-house.
Thank u guys for your recommendations I got the phone.and.its amazing
Oneast question what will I lose if I unlock the bootloader?! On Arc S I only lost TrackId, what about facebook inside Xperia and other Sony extras?!

Actually, GS 3 is not as same the GPU as XPERIA P, because GS3 used Mali 400 MP4, U8500 used Mali 400 MP1...
Mali 400 MP1 is far weaker than Mali 400 MP4, and also weaker than Adreno 205...

I am planning to buy xperia p.But I heard lot of bad things about it from web.
1]It's gpu i.e.Mali-400 is not quad core as on galaxy s2 or galaxy s3.It is just single core
2]Over half of android 3d games are not working on it properly(crashing problems).
3]It's chipset is not good for gaming
4]It's screen resolution scores less than xperia u resolution and a li'l bit odd to

1. SGSII has the same GPU Mali 400 as Xperia P
2. Don't think that will happen. Xperia P is a Dual core phone with same Cortex-A9 architecture as the SII, you'd b happy with it's gaming performance.
3. Already answered, same as above.
4. Xperia P res is 540x960 pixels... SII has 480x800 and xperia U has 480x854 pixels...
Xperia P has BETTER screen resolution.
On a side note Xperia P has just 11 GB user available memory with NO memory card slot. So it could be a deal breaker for some.
If u can raise ur budget a bit Go for SGSII or Xperia S (24k/25k).
If you're happy with Xperia P internal memory then u can get it for just 17k from eBay.

Its not the same as gs2, gs2 has mali400, gs3 has mali400mp quad and xp has mali400mp dual with lower frequency and to be honest gs2 is better than Xp for gaming in quadrant benchmarks and vellamo for 3d, gs2 hits 50fps when xp has like 30-40
Édit: i looked on the net gs2 bench 3200 in quadrant vs 2200 xp, but Xperia p kills gs2 in antutu

Yes, agreed... Not only the SII is better in games but it's just simply plain better. With Exynos chipset and super amoled screen is just great. Camera produces excellent images too. And for all that it will cost u about 3-4k more.
If u can stretch up ur budget go for SII.
If u can't XP is pretty good with gaming too.

Well some people including me prefer punchy saturated color... And LCD can never match Deep blacks of AMOLED or viewing angles. Moreover, Samsung has given u a choice of saturation. Light, Normal, High.
For me comparing Super LCD with Super AMOLED is like comparing Super Mario with Superman. Lol
I'll take SGSII over XP on any day....
Oh and for camera.... SGSII has a better one....
Check out their samples.... you'll see XP produces grainy images. XP also has Low internal memory... no card slot.
For 22k I willing to pass....

oh comparing super LCD to super AMOLED isnt like this, amoled is a young technology, you should wait at least 2 years before Amoled gets better than LCD, it's like comparing World of Warcraft to the closed Beta of any new MMORPG,
also sony design > samsung.
sony UI > samsung,
Sony Price > Samsung.
I think GS2 is too old to fight against XPeria P,
in xperia P price range P is the king of every android phones, if you can put more money for GS2 then you should give a little more again to get a real better phone, do you understand me? I mean, if on 1 to 10 xP costs 5 and GS2 costs 7, just give 1 or 2 more and get a real high end phone =) ok GS2 is somehow a bit better than XP but it's not worth the money

What about xperia x10 mini pro? is it any good for gaming?
Xperia Ray is a very good phone but I am afraid the Xperia X10 mini or minipro or the SE live with walkman will definitely preform better in gaming performances considering they have a HVGA display that will demand less power from the processor and the gpu. But yet again, the small screen(3.2'') is a fun killer. So I would recommend a bigger display device for gaming, if you want to have real fun. Go for Xperia U (best budget phone for gaming ) . It's got dual core 1ghz and mali 400 gpu, the price has also significantly reduced.

Okay I understand your problem bro. You needed a gaming phone So I mentioned the Xperia U. If you are a hardcore music lover then certainly the Xperia U is not for you. But but but, if you are aware of the USB on the go feature, it's very very useful for the Xp U. You can carry as many music and video files as you want and connect on the go. I have seen my friends do that. Comparing the gaming performances , the U is an ultimate winner.

Xperia J with almost same specs and a 4 inch screen is a killer
I'd recommend Micromax Canvas HD that is A116 it's a phone under your budget with a qualcom quad core processor and five inch screen makes it ideal for gaming
Games like Asphalt Heat run without lag and glitches

I seriously don't at all recommend the Xperia J. Just take a look at the specs.
OS Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), upgradable to v4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)
Chipset Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon
CPU 1 GHz Cortex-A5
GPU Adreno 200
What kind of gaming performance do you expect from the Adreno 200 GPU and a 1ghz Cortex A5...and that too with ICS running.
It will be able to run/start most of the games, but nothing will run smoothly.
But on the Canvas HD A116 part, I agree with you. This phone has got some serious power under the hood. Depends on the buyer, if he wants to go for a micromax phone or a branded phone.

I also recommend you all xperia 2011.
Have lww and is great. Best will be xperia arc, arc s, ray or neo v. They all are cheap and runs most wanted, shadowgun, gta vice city lagless.
I can confirm that NFS:MW works like a charm on my Xperia Ray. You don't need a custom ROM or kernel, just a lot of free RAM. Before I rooted my phone, my RAM was pretty cluttered with apps like Facebook and Sony bloatware. After root, I managed to get around 150 MB RAM constantly, and MW works perfectly.
So I'm thinking of buying the Sony Xperia L, and from what I noticed, it can run some of the heaviest games smoothly...
My friend owns an HTC Desire 300, which runs on adreno 203, and both phones have a dual core 1ghz processor. I have noticed that when he was playing heavier games like real boxing, the fps were lowered down...
So what I want to know, is how much difference we'll notice in gaming between the 2 phones? How many more fps will I be getting with the Xperia L?
Thanks in advance

I know but dead trigger can ever run with over 30 fps on my old Xperia Tipo, with no lag issues... I was hoping a comparison between the adreno 305 and 203 with heavier games, like asphalt 8 or so. But thanks anyway
