Is the 1.45mhz overclock worth it? Or is that only beneficial to pointless benchmark results?
How is it on the battery? Is the 1.3 overclock more of a intermediate between battery and performance.
Sent from my ATRIX...I do miss my Desire though....maybe I should dust it off....lol
Everyday use, not really, it even kills the battery more.
thought so! probably makes the phone heat up more than it does normally.
There is almost no visible difference to the naked eye but it does make things a little bit snappier. As far as i am concerned, my battery life is epic with Faux's latest Kernel on the latest version of CM7 beta.
Epic= 24+ depending on usage.
Only differences I have seen is the benchmark scores are rock sky high!
However, for everyday use, the difference is that when webpage is loading, panning and pinch zooming while is loading is as smooth once the page is fully loaded. if it is back to 1GHz, it will lag on some pages when you try to zoom and pan.
If you use beautiful widget, the weather animation for the moon and the rain will become a little more fluid if you are on 1.45GHz.
Other than that, you have just built a hand held water boiler XD
Benchmarks are much better with 1.30. At 1.45 the boost is negligible in comparison.
Real use I don't see enough difference to consider it 'cost effective'.

just say sth what may help me。。。thx
Okay, you can use www.gsmarena.com for comparing phones but I'll break it down to you.
It would help me if you wrote for what you want to use the phone but let's say you will just use it for regular stuff.
The screen is fair, 4 inch is not too big neither too small. Camera is pretty good but edges of picture are bit too artificially sharpened
which leads to lower quality but it's a common thing with much phones, same thing with video recording. The CPU and GPU are really good.
I have a phone with the same CPU and GPU and it runs graphically intensive games almost without any drops. 768mb RAM is okay but could be better.
So... This phone is okay for casual gaming and just everyday use. It isn't something super special but in the end it all depends on the price.
If you find it slow, you can always put a ROM on it, that will speed things up for sure!
Hope I helped
I see threads on the issue of Glitches that some have had with ICS update. But nothing that really covers the noticeable performance benefits ... if any when updated.
Was hoping we could keep this topic focused on Benefits of ICS update over Honeycomb that are noticeable.
i.e. Better Benchmarks, Faster web browsing or page loading, .pdf rendering, gaming, etc.
Thanks
Everything you mentioned is better for me. don't have any of the issues some are experiencing with Ics. its a small number of people thats having issues.
yes ICS is way smoother. lag when just flipping through screens is gone, web page is faster. Some apps are more buggy (ex: youtube) but that is bc they probably need ics update.

A lot faster and smoother switching from one app to another, opening multitasking sidebar, opening app drawer, switching home screens, etc
Cf bench showed overall 10% gain in scores across the board
Much smoother overall for me.
The lag in screen to screen transitions has been greatly improved. Also key input lag from the keyboard dock is not noticeable for me anymore.
To me it a little smoother but that could be a placebo, but the browser is way faster in my opinion. Pages almos load instanly where in honecomb the progress bar we gert about to 75% and then just sit there for what seemed an enternity sometimes. This has not happened in ics
It has a small performance gain but to be honest, it wasn't exactly slow before so you are not going to see any huge difference.
I agree with all above. Much faster web browsing and no more force closes/freezing the whole prime when the page locks (happened a few times to me on HC). Homescreen transitions are smooth and slick, camera is MUCH better and more fun to use. The list goes on, plus there are additional features that ICS introduces that are really cool. No brainer to upgrade for sure.
Much faster, smoother, and lag-free.
One thing i haven't seen anyone mention is the boot time is 1/3 as long as it was on HC.
Web browsing much improved for load time,scrolling,pinch to zoom...across the board.
App store is smoother
Gestures.swipes,scrolls....all improved.
Support for more video containers natively
Camera app...greatly improved. 1080p video is lag free.
That's just the tip of the ice cream...all of the core gapps are enhanced not just the browser.
Love it!

Well I've had mine for only a few days now so I don't think I can rate the battery for now.
Battery Life - ?
Speed - 4
Performance - 4
Build Quality 4
Overall 4.5
PROS -
Great camera in daylight conditions
Stunning design (mine is white)
Display Sharpness and the vibrant colors
Effortless performance
Beautiful UI
Good Audio Quality for a smartphone
Fast Capture is helpful
Build Quality is commendable since its all plastic
Matte Finish on the body and the anti stain coating
Front Camera is awesome
Clear and loud call quality
GPS performance is good
CONS
Some lag here and there at times
Android 4.0 still 2 or 3 weeks away
Camera is almost useless in low light conditions
Touch sensitive buttons can get quite irritating sometimes
Though SQ is good, volume could be higher
Screen could have done with more contrast. Blacks are Greyish
Battery Life 4

Pro:
-fast and accurate gps
-Stock firmware (73) is quite "okay"
-Good cam quality overall (except the noise)
-HDMI out with TV Program software works good
-Phone is a lightweight compared to others
-Screen protector by factory
Contra:
-Non-removable battery
-screen contrast could be much better
-sony data cable / microusb cable is "cornered" at phone's end. That is idiotic.
-Autobrightness doesn't work - for me ( stock 73)

Battery Life -5 (.73 fixes the issues, and it could only get better)
Speed - 5 (I still have sometimes a hiccup or two, but that can be android itself of the junk I install, so I will keep it at 5 )
Performance- 5 (same reason as above)
Build quality- 4 (build could aways be better, its a sturdy device but not as durable as it could be I think)
Overall - 4.7
Pros:
Beautiful Design, I find it a really unique device
Screen is fantastic
Blazing fast. I love the speed combined with the Sony UI, I used to use launcher pro, but I can't bring myself to replace the default launcher.
Cons:
The screen problems in some devices, I feel they could have taken more care with assembly.
The port flaps, I am still not sure if this is a real con, as they are really sturdy (unlike the X10 cover, which broke off in the end) and they just need to be worn in I guess :/.
Gingerbread, though that also I wouldn't really consider a con, as the update is coming, and I am in no rush really (coming from the X10 I'm used to waiting, heh)
I know this is more to taste, but I find the default NFC app could be better, and I wish (I'm assuming they did this to mostly prevent piracy) the extra apps (PS store, music/movie unlimited) had support worldwide, as it was one of the boasted selling features.
I love this phone, and definitely recommend it. It is in my opinion one to look out for, especially when it gets ICS. I am more than happy to have this for the next two years (got it on contract). I know Sony gets criticism for not using the top of the line tech, but in terms of design, I think they are ahead of the market, and I am curious how next years device will look.
Battery Life - 4

Pros
High resolution, sharp display
Stylish ui

Camera
Design
GPS locks really fast
Wireless signal of wifi and 3g network
Charges fast
Performance overall is good
Cons
Quality control, many early models have yellow stains on screen
Casing has a lot of seams and edges. Makes it feel cheap, hope it is just sloppy work on earlier models.
Warranty service. To fix the yellow tint and casing I'll probably lose it for a month
Call volume is a bit low
Screen viewing angels are poor
Colour temprature of the screen is a bit off, too cold.
Placement of usb/hdmi port

I've had mine for over a month so can safely judge.
Battery life 1
Can't stand the fact the phone depletes so much even on standby.
Speed 4.5
Most things happen near enough instantly
Performance 3
Mainly because I can't stand the UI performance and the poor scrolling especially in web browser. What's this 2010? Come on Sony, you can surely do better. Galaxy S2 is a year older with buttery smooth transitions and scrolling.
Build quality 4.5
Feels solid and premium. Could have done with a bit more chrome to soften things up though. Also very doggy back cover that doesn't seem to fit properly,
Overall 3.25
That's just about right in my opinion. The phone needs better software and optimization. I'm happy with it for now. Don't know if I'll be happy with it for two years however,

- Battery life 4,5: good idle battery drain (0,5 - 0,7% per hour)
- Speed 5: everything happens very fast once you customised and tweaked the stock .73 rom
- Performance 4.5: after tweaking it's fast, even no lag when opening contacts app but I know ICS will increase performance even more
- Build quality: 4.5: I really like the design and quality of the phone, it's not heavy and pretty scratch resistant
- Overall: 4.6: Sony gave is a really good phone which is fast and smooth. It doesn't feel like a cheap phone like Samsung phones, and the design is really amazing. And last but not least, it's very nice to develop for this phone

Custom ROMs > Stock ROM
Hello All,
I've had my LT26i for a few days now, and you know of course how it is when you get a new piece of IT equipment for an IT guy... Tried this and that, tried different ROMs, now eagerly waiting for CM9 RC1, wona know what it looks like at least and what it's capable of. Failed to install RC0, tried all the possible ways, but can't pass the boot screen. Doing something wrong of course, but...
In any case, the Stock ROM has too much extra IMHO. Apps that i can't remove and will never use annoy me... Knowing that uninstalling will free up some RAM and cut down the number of running processes, knowing that tweaking LEDs, WIFI management will increase the battery life, etc. forced me to star searching for a custom ROM that will suit me the same day I got my phone.
So I would rate the Stock ROM the following:
Battery Life - 3 (really runs out faster then expected)
Speed - 4 (boot up could be faster, opening apps is OK tho)
Performance - 4 (screen sometime freezes for a millisecond when sliding the desktops)
Build quality - 4 (being not able to delete stuff I don't need freaked me out... Why am I a guest in my phone?)
Overall - 4 (would be 3, but it's my new phone, got to like it )
And the ROM that I am using now (KA05 Xperia SSpeed by krabappel2548 on DooMKernel v03a by DooMLoRD):
Battery Life - 5 (Impressed)
Speed - 5 (No complains here at all)
Performance - 5 (Extra functionality such as better camera and volume buttons wake the screen)
Build quality - 4 (no crashes or anything, but can't install apps from my phone, have to do it from the PC)
Overall - 5 (I am much more happy using my SXS now)
There are other Custom ROMs, some focus on the GUI, some on the speed... All of them are definitely worth to be installed.
I really appreciate the work of all the guys working hard to get us better Android Distros.
P.S.: Yes, I did lose my warranty when I rooted my phone. Yes, I did have problems installing prerequisite ROMs and Booters and all. But now I have a much better understanding how my phone functions and I have a better Android Distro. I AM NOT PUSHING ANYONE TO GO CUSTOM, AS IT IS DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
P.P.S.: If anyone managed to install the CM9 RC0, please post a video on YouTube so that we at least know what it looks like.

Ill chime in on this
I feel the battery life is fine, I no longer need to bring my charger to work (former infuse ower)
I'm not as techy as most but the speed and over all responce is real nice, Im yet to experience any real lag.
I could go on and on about everything I like but the only thing I dislike is the back cover...its a pretty poor disign, a few of my snaps haven't latched since day one and several of the store demo models fall right off with hardy a touch of the phone.
I give it 8 out of 10 stars, 9 if they fix the back cover and 10 if it could give me a massage.

I could only give a bit more than four overall due to the low battery life, yeah I came from the iphone and am comparing it with that, sorry.........
Battery life is incredible...im on the official ics leak and its better then gb. Speed of the phone is decent i did think the phone would be much zippier considering thw dual core 1.5 processor but no overall complaints. The phone is stable never had any issues no freezing or any lag where the phone was unusable. Now the cons...well the camera could have been better pictures are decent but videos could have been better...also i have a pink hue in the middle of all my pics some not as bad as others. And one last con is the battery cover...they could have done a better job with that also i have the white one and i hear a lot of people are having problems that the right side "if the the back of the phons is facing you" the clips dont pop in the it squeaks if you squeeze it...it gives it a cheap feeling. Everytbing else is solid on the phone and overall i couldnt be happier.

Would you say that the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
No issue whatsoever with performance. Not one sign of lag or stutter yet.
fastest smartphone i've used....
Yeah super fast coming from note 4 which I was happy with. Super duper fast
Works great for my daily things, and even the few games I play.
Size and spec of the s7 edge makes it my daily device and it works perfectly so far.
Coming from ip6s+, but also had before that N6p,N5 and s6 edge. So I compare it to good devices and not some low end device..

its fast, dunno how good it is compared with other newer phones, but everything runs smooth, games are awesome!
Setting everything was super fast, did a reboot and charging up to take a break, coming from a Note 4, which was reasonably fast, but this thing has zero lag so far.
GS7
this is a great phone, you can get the performance that you want and easily to use :good:
Snappiness of this phone has put my Note 4 to shame, particularly with switching to and from camera to gallery.
The sd card max transfer speeds are not up to par for 2016. Everything else is great.
Galaxy S7 edge is really fast, I do all multi tasking stuff like running multiple apps, playing game, downloading and auto updates parallely and its still runs with full speed. like all other samsung mobiles S7 edge runs with high speed.
No lag for me yet.
I can easily get mine to freeze up or lag.

Same here. There is microlag when scrolling all throughout Touchwiz. For the most part its smooth and seamless but for everyone saying they haven't seen lag, you probably have.
There is just a strong chance that it wasn't sustained lag which makes it easy to be dismissive of it.
It is especially noticeable when coming from the N6P (chalking this up to stock android not being bloated)

Agreed, I have seen micro lag, but nothing to irritating. It got much better when I disabled everything (everything that is dis-ableable anyhow) from Samsung and Verizon as always. Also as always once its rooted we can disable the rest and ti will fly. Its a shame that we have to do that, but it is what it is. I would do anything for an S7 Edge with stock Android... Better yet, a Nexus Edge
Hi, and what about the most performance demanding games? I use these expensive phones as portable consoles and if I invest 800€ into phone, which is price of computer, I expect every single game on google play smooth at 50 fps. But on some ytb videos I have seen some microshutter and fps drops for example in Dead trigger 2, Asphalt 8 or GTA san andreas. Dont know which version it was, but I prefer adreno 530 gpu which is not on market in my country :/ . I actually dont care very much about fast app launching/loadings or appdrawer, but for me most important is FPS when game is already loaded. Or can I lower res to 1080p to eliminate any FPS issue? Did anyone compared gaming exynos vs snapdragon? (not benchmarks, real gaming FPS) .
PS: Please keep hate and comments like phone is not for gaming away, Im listening it all the time. But i am heavy gamer at any platform and if I wanted phone for calls and sms I could stick with my old nokia 3310. But thanks for any possible useful info from owners of this phone
Only time I had lag was with Chrome. I'm using the Samsung browser now and it's fast. The update seems like it made my phone fast not that it was slow. I'm happy. Oh I'm using Nova so that probably helps.
most of it is fast except slight lag once in awhile. fps is slower compare to my oneplus 2
some games are laggier than on my Sony Z3, sometimes the transitions lag as well
Great speed
