I've been thinking of trading my HTC Tattoo for a Xperia X10 mini (maybe pro) what do you guys have to say?
I'd like to know what are tha main advantages/disadvantages of the mini if possible
Thanks in advance,
K.
hello,
it depends from your expectations...
why do you want exchange HTC Tattoo?
do you have any problems with it? because your phone has almost similar parameters, x10 mini has slightly better HW specifications, specially 5Mpx photo camera with autofocus and led flash is very good, better processor, but smaller battery capacity, in real life battery holds 2 days max. My record is 3 days but it was on business trip and I didn't used mobile data because of rooming, on other side I used GPS navigation and photo camera lot so it was a very good performance.

Thanks for your reply : )
Well my major factor for choosing one is that it's one of the phones I can afford on a contract (selling my Tattoo would get me the cash needed for it) and the fact that I can have Android 2.x with working camera and fm radio (if the x10 does have one xD)
I like my Tattoo (because of its size mainly) and the mini boasts of being the smallest Android so it doesn't seem like a bad change.
My main problem with my Tattoo is that HTC dropped us at Android 1.6 without caring because of the release of the Wildfire, and because of that xda devs never were able to get their hands on camera/radio 2.x drivers therefore one has to choose between camera (crappy) and radio or 2.x apps support. Really ungrateful position to be in.

in this case, x10 mini is good for you
Go for the Mini mate
The Mini is the best phone I've had so far and believe me I've had a LOT... you wont regret buying it (it won an award for being the best phone for 2010 and 2011 which you probably know) its on android 2.1, it runs games fast @ 43FPS! for example runs Angry birds great but on the Hero which I had it lagged (23FPS on the Hero) and PSX4droid runs pretty great too =]
I have Apps2SD enabled, installed about 70+ apps/games (most of the big games work perfectly e.g. Pocket Legends, Fifa 10, Fruit Ninja etc) whereas normally without Apps2SD you wouldn't be able to get more than 4-5 big games on it.. so yeah
Do the wise thing and get the damn thing!!
PS. The disadvantage is that it has no Multi-touch but afaik that may change soon
I can also vouch for the x10 mini pro, and I too came from having a tattoo. The x10 is as good as technically and id argue better than the tattoo and I can tell you I wouldnt be writing this on my tatoo but I am happily on my mini pro

Hey guys,
My girlfriend is looking at getting a new phone. Her two options are either the Galaxy S I9000 or the Xperia X10. I have an X10, and that the Galaxy WAS much better, but what I don't quite know is, which would be the better of these two phones once they are both running on Android 2.3.3 (since, from recent news, the X10 will be getting 16 million colours in the next stock 2.3.3 update)?
Would the preferable choice still be the Galaxy?
Thanks guys.
Still the Galaxy, it has the faster GPU, AMOLED + Screen etc. or the new ones with Super Clear LCD, i think the Galaxy will stay the better Phone, but on the X10 you got the better looking Phone and a way better Camera
Running both devices on 2.3.3 will bring them close together in normal working speed, but the galaxy will outperform the X10 in every graphics related app.

true, the galaxy has a dedicated GPU and more ram. That's about it. i would go for the Galaxy. having more Ram and better GPU power never hurt anyone
if it's for your GF, give her your x10 and get yourself a new phone she'll be very happy with the x10 and probably would never use the galaxy s potencial
Also, the touch screen of the galaxy is way better, have a true MT (not pseudo DT).
In favor of the X10 I can tell it is more reliable then the galaxy (I heard lots are complaining about lags and reboots)
And, it has the useful notifications LED
x10
x10 is is better
Ok i got some money, i long time ago thinking change my x10 to ...
Now my x10i running on 2.3 v3 thx to Wolfbreak Im really appreciate this. Thx
Now im thinking between buying an ARC - mainly cause of the HDMI, and Sony- and SGSII -hardware capability- I read some article, post about challenging the 2 phone. And now stuck so many pros and cons on both side.
So which 1 you choose: stay with x10i, SGSII, ARC (optionaly Xplay? )
I'd stick to x10i for now because with wolf's 2.3.3 it really is pretty fast and stable, thus making it a good phone that can compete with most newer phones running on stock roms.
I don't know how things are in hungary, but here you usually get the best deals around christmas time and new stuff will be released continuously until then, I'd say lay low, read the news about upcoming handsets and make your decision then.
It all depends on what are your expectations from a smartphone and what u use it for mainly.
The X10 with 2.3 is a good phone imo and i'm pretty astisfied with it.
The Arc is an improved X10 - better screen / camera / performance ; but it's rly not that different.
The SGS II is in a total different cathegory with it's dual-core processor , but unless u are rly into opening apps in 1ms and stuff like that u won't notice such a big difference between ARC and SGS II.
The Play i would recommend only if u are a heavy gamer
U can just keep the X10 for now and w8 for the next generation of smartphones (maby quad-core or who nows )
It all comes down to what u use the phone for and what are your expectations D:
man!
there's no comparison between X10i, arc and SGS2 !
X10i is now outdated but still good for basic functionality,
if you can afford don't look at Arc, go for SGS2, its a Rocket, and you won't disappoint with its quality and features!
SGS2 is good but bad screen quality cause the type if screen it does. I will recommend you buy the Arc:
- 16 million colors but I don't think you eyes can process all colors at once.
- The camera sensor and front camera.
- The launcher is very beautiful and I don't want to look at the SGS2 cause the such ugly launcher.
- Bootloader unlocked and If you want TouchQuiz, you will have (I don't know exactly how boot loader works but as I know from HTC announcement that you can install other ROM from other device on your Arc. (Maybe SamSung does)
- etc.
But I don't think it's good ideo to compare X10 to these 2 phones and I think you know why. Brilliant.

If you have to, buy a sammy 2, if not, dont buy any and wait
jus wait wid x10 after wolf's 2.3 even i stopped my plan to buy a new one ..will wait until sony launches it dual core ...love the arc launcher though !!!
anyways else go for HTC Evo 4g or Sensation 4G
Don't rush to buy now. Everybody insists on the difference of the phones HOWEVER, that's better is about to come.
There are rumors by Eldar, the russian blogger, that Samsung wants to put out even a better phone - ahead of Iphone 5 (and that's why the law suit etc).
So instead of paying now and then in 2-3 months already a new one is on the market, please stick with X10 and then you upgrade afterwards.
The trouble with SG2 is the 3 second lag and the interface freezes from time to time, and depending on your (bad) luck, you might get one which has problems with the screen. Arc is still Sony, has house cracking issues, check online ...
Wolf just release a mod without FPS cap and no audio lag for X10.
So just hang in there
sgs2 is by far the best out of your choices...
anyone who says otherwise is an se fanboy.
Sgs2 and Arc are awesome but you should stick.with the x10(its not THAT far behind) cause by the end of the year i bet there will be new improved models and you have time to save more money

Hi.
I'm going to change my Android phone (a LG Optimus 2x) and I have to choose between these 3 candidates: Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Sony Xperia S and HTC One S.
After looking at the specs of all of them, I think this is like:
- CPU: One S > Galaxy Nexus ~= Xperia S
- GPU: One S > Xperia S > Galaxy Nexus
- Storage: Xperia S > Galaxy Nexus ~= One S
- Camera: After looking at some reviews, I don't dare to say anything. One S looked pretty good, Xperia S looked pretty good too (the best video recorder I'd say), and Galaxy Nexus didn't look bad at all (but in dark photos in interiors).
The CPU is important to me (I like my phone to work smoothly), GPU is not so important, storage is not very important (I prefer higher speed than higher capacity), and camera is not important too (I take a few photos, but that doesn't mean I don't care if the phone has a crappy camera).
I hope you can help me choosing
Thanks!
personally, i would choose the one s.
I love the new sense 4 ui and i think it's the one which will work more smoothly.

I agree with elia and I would choose the one s

Totally agree!!! ONE S! ownage!! but,[yeah] xperia S pretty good too heee~~~..
HTC One S is pretty good. The Qualcomm S4 is very powerful (more than Xperia's S3), the Adreno 225 is pretty good too, and the One S has more recent hardware than Xperia (like the bt module).
I've seen some benchmarks about the One S internal storage (NAND) and it's pretty fast, specially reading, and that's good.
I forgot to say in the first post but Android 4.0 for me is very important (I know the Xperia S will be updated soon), and I'll use this phone a lot to code apps.
At the moment, I would say the ranking is:
1º HTC One S
2º Galaxy Nexus
3º Xperia S
Thanks for your replies!
Is there any noticeable difference between the GNexus and One S screens? I ask it because of the different (but similar) resolutions (nexus has higher res but higher size too) and I could not see both phones powered on.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA
Well i havent tried One S,but i have to say i tried Galaxy Nexus and its amazing,great specs,great design and its flagship phone so its going to be supported by xda and google for some time.I cant describe how good impression of that phone i have,its amazing
If you want to use custom roms and root, I'd recommend you the nexus. It's community is good and you don't have to bother about hboot, s-on, s-off and so on.
You should look at Something Quad-Core, such as: HTC One X, Huawei Ascend D Quad, Huawei Ascend D Quad XL, ZTE Era, etc. Which would be better.

I prefer a powerful dual core than a quad core (except if that quad core has very powerful cores, to work at best performance at any workload). A quad core in a smartphone, from my point of view (as a computer engineer), is not worth, at the moment (more battery usage, not so efficient...).
I'm a coder so I'll use the phone to test my apps. And I like to 'play' with it (custom roms and stuff... I used to code stuff for the Linux kernel).

Tottaly agree...If I could buy one now that would be HTC ONE S!!

And also used to code for the Wii
i'll go with the HTC One S
i'll go with xperia s because the camera is damn good...
i think about future Custom Rom that can be apply on it since freexperia teams are working greatly to build it.
more over,the battery for xperia s quiet good
im sorry if im mistaken..
Hi dear fellows,
I want to buy a mid ranged Android Smart Phone. I want you guys to help me to chose between HTC Desire S and Xperia Mini?
According to me the difference is:
Desire C:
Released Date: August 2012, So newer phone.
Slower processore
Larger Screen
ICS Capacitive Buttons
Larger Screen
Sense UI
Internal Memory is 4GB
Xperia Mini:
1 Year Old Mobile
Faster Processor
Smaller Screen
More Pixal density
More Portable
I am more inclined towards Xperia mini simply because of better processor, but larger screen and slimmer form factor confuses me, i text a lot as well, so bigger screen is better or if 3.0 inch screen is enough for alpha numeric keypad typing with T9?
Kindly share your thoughts and help me to make a choice.
One last thing, in pakistan desire cost about 17000 RS and Xperia mini 13000 RS, and price matters for me too.
xperia all the way
better gpu
better processor
better development support
front facing camera

Hi i would prder xperia mini why?
because it has a 1ghz processor that can be overclocked upt o 1,6ghz the phone runs smoother because of its smaller screen,
compared with desire c: the desire has a bigger screen but lower cpu that means its laggier and also it runs ICS on 800mhz?? very bad its too slow,ics will drain your battery and with that low level processor games will be be laggy and slow
Our xperia has a lot of avaible roms to get the maximum out. If you write many sms you should buy the mini pro because writing sms on the screen is very hard.
Pro for Mini:
Better Processor
Much smoother
Better ROM support
Old but gold
GB support much faster and stable than ICS
you wont regret it,but i think you should buy mini pro
Well thanks for replies guys, can you tell me kindly if over heating is 100% removed in all sets of Xperia mini? and is official ICS not that lagy on Xperia mini?
I can't buy mini pro cuz i dont use qwerty keyboard at all, it feels too slow for me as compared to my Nokia style alpha numeric T9 input method, i sort of fly through that.
I myself would buy live with walkman. At the time I wanted to buy an android phone, the only choice was xperia mini and mini pro.
Just don't like the keyboard so I went for lovely mini.
It's great and I'm feeling great with it.
Lww has two pros against mini.
Bigger screen 3.2
Front facing camera
Dual speeker
Oh, that was three

mini vs hdc?
hahaha
mini is the most winner here, but with 3" screen.
my advice, if u wanna HTC line-up, save ur money n wait until HTC Desire X released or Xperia's next generation.
2013, Sony will focus on newer JB phone.
if you have problem with t9,you can type in landscape mod with full qwerty keyboard!
in benchmarks, Xperia mini is the Winner!!
also Xperia mini is officaly supported by Cyanogen Team.it has Stable version of Cm9!!!
Xperia is the Best
xperia is way better, it has better processor and qwerty keyboard, you can use it for emulators, it's really cool
Guys thanks for the help, i bought Xperia Mini now, now being a buddy in android line, i have few more questions, i hope the knowledge can help many of us:
I charged phone for the first time, LED light turned green when phone charged about 90%? should i unplug phone at this 90% charge?
Should i stay with GB version .62 if i don't get over heating problem or should i jump to ICS, as i read GB is way more stable and fast, and ICS has almost nothing special which force us to jump to ICS, like hotspot, apps2sd etc is all in GB too?

I'd stay on gingerbread, more stable and faster and better for gaming.
No you needn't unplug, you can, but you can charge until 100%, too
