Hi guys, After checking around, I decided to buy the Mini Pro for it's frontal camera, extra internal memory and keyboard.
But still have a question though, i don't care about typing messages with the keyboard, but I look forward to use it as a gamepad.
I just watched a youtube video where a user is playing GTA III using the keyboard as a game pad. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly1VVZfarLw )
So here is my question: Is it true for all games, some games, or rarely the case?
tnx.

Hi dudes, I have the X10 mini, and think of Buying the "Xperia MINI" for the 720p video camera, and the 1Ghz processor, as for the screen.
But I am wondering if it's worth it?
Or maybe should I wait for the "Xperia Mini 2"? Thinking maybe it will have 1080p camera and dual core processor?
I read about it here:
http://www.affineontech.com/sony-xperia-mini-2-the-successor-of-xperia-mini.htm
Tnx for answers and enlightments about the subject.
Hello,
The Xperia Mini (Pro) is the successor of the Mini X10. So, this IS the Mini 2, it's just not named like it (they removed the X10 from the name).
This article has to be older, because the new one does have a 3" Display, where the X10 just had 2,6".
The 1ghz processor is really fast, it's enough for myself.
Also, the Xperia Mini is just a few months old, so there won't be another new model that soon.
Get the Xperia Mini (Pro), it's worth it.
Edit: They're also talking about the Adreno 205 GPU, which the new Mini has.
Btw.: They're talking about the single core 1ghz processor we have right now, no dual core.

Thanks for clarifying this.
Just one final question, is the difference between the x10 mini camera resolution and the Xperia Mini Camera resolution noticable?
I mean, on the asus transformer, the 720p camera does not give the feel of HD, but more of a normal 480p camera when shooting.
tnx

dude, check out my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418496
this would probably makes you want to buy xmp even more!
I would say Xperia Active or the Live with Walkman. I enjoy dropping my Xperia Active in the water It would be hard for me to get a "normal" smarphone again... Maybe they make Sony Active this year?
Ok guys it's done, thanks for your help.
I am checking the game list right now, and bookmarking it immediately!

Hey guys, I have the choice to buy a Mini Pro for 90€ or an Arc S for 160€. Don't mind the details, just that I'm very tight on cash right now. Is the Arc S worth the extra 70€? Thanks
According to a gsmarena comparison, the difference is going to get you a better screen resolution, a better camera, a larger SD card in the package, a better battery.
However, the arc lacks a QWERTY keyboard, front facing camera, and has less internal storage.
They're both decent, but the choice is up to you.

If youre a ps1 and gba games lover, you probably want to take the mini pro so that you can play those games with the keyboard instead of a touchscreen

hadn't thought about that, thanks xD
if you can afford it ... then buy it, its a flagship of xperia phone ( with all those ++ )
if you have tight cash ( like me ... ) ... there is Ray or Neo
if you have really tight cash ... then go for minipro, it's a good choice
it's simple as that ... just ask your wallet ....

Ray or Neo would be much more expensive for me.. only options are
- Mini Pro for 90€
- Arc S for 160€
I think I'll go with the Mini

They know nothing about smartphones, obviously.
Go for ARC S only if you want to play games on your Xperia
If you are not big fan of gaming but want fast performance then choose Mini Pro
As mini pro is faster than Arc S.
Only problem is Mini Pro is HVGA Device so inspite of the fact that its faster and powerful than Arc S,it will not be able to play WVGA resolution games.
I myself had to choose anyone of these and i choose Mini Pro
And m extremely happy with my choice

I was searching for a suitable phone for my cousin sister and was recommending her the Mini Pro. Now her budget is increased and we checked out the Ray as well as the Motorola Defy +.
Any advices on which is better. She will stay on stock ROM (maybe I can change it for her once in a while) and is going to be normal user.
Mini Pro seems good but Defy + is having larger screen at similar price. Ray also seems good but more expensive and screen in between.
Mini pro should be the best if she can accept its 3" screen.
Personally,I feel XMP's performance(stock) is better than defy+,such as playing games and normal use(smoother).
And maybe she relatively cares about photo function,then I think Ray is the one.
The mini pro are god cellphone has a keyboard , for write most faster , but the xperia ray have more roms , best quality of screen has a screen of 3.3 with fwvga , the defy has more big screen , but look the pros of a cellphone xperia:
You can overclock up 2.0 GHz

I suggest you go for Xperia Ray
Mini Pro may be a bit small ,and from what I have heard girls like to have a huge screen. If you actually notice a common complaint from every Mini Pro and Mini users is that the screen is too small .
But if she is very much interested in having a physical keyboard then Mini Pro is the one .
Moto defy + has a dust proof screen ,better resolution than Mini/Mini Pro .But there are some bugs with it and I have heard of it switching off and freezing alot . Do check out a few reviews .
Personal Opinion- Xperia Ray
I'd say the mini pro or ray. They're both more stylish than the defy+ and seem less laggy. I mean, since when are benchmarks going to matter to regular users? If she wants a better camera, go for the ray. If she prefers a keyboard, go for the mini pro. To be honest you can't go wrong with all 3 but SE usually puts less bloat on their custom interface.

I Suggest Xperia Ray ..
Bravia Engine,Good Proc,Slim,8mpx with Exmor-R and many others

I searched the web to find some info about the next gen "Xperia Mini".
But there's no info whatsoever.
Does anyone have any idea about what is to expect next?
Sony says their next xperia mini will b XPERIA U featuring 3.5 inch mobile bravia engine display,1Ghz dual core snapdragon processor,5MP autofocous camera with a new iconic look of xperia S.frankly speaking i dnt like the new xperia mini.i would be not more than 3.2 inch display with 4 corners home.

The problem with is this is that Sony NEVER claimed the U to be a successor to Xperia mini.
Probably it will have the new Sony-style design, but not as big as the U, if there will be a 2nd gen Xperia mini.
I hope it could b likr that coz i dnt liked this news thht xperia U will be new xperia mini in a youtube video.i love sonyericsson,s idea of small android phones having power like big guns.i used xperia x10 mini,x8 and now i m using xperia mini ST15i.i love these masterpieces by sonyericsson.Hope SONY will make us happy by making a 3.2 inch 1.5 dual core processor mini with 4 home corners....

Unfortunately, while surfing for the next mini, I stumbled uppon the same information saying that sony will treat the "U" as the new member of the mini family.
IMO, it's a huge let down. Xperia mini pro is at the limit of being "mini". So trying to sell the U as "pocket friendly" just because it's half inch smaller than the S, is the same as shouting "morons!" in customers face.
I want to get a new phone and i may have lack of money so should i buy x8 if i don't have enough money ore should i wait a little and get money to buy x10 mini/mini pro?
I want to have many apps on phone and install roms,play games and browse internet.So what do you recommend?
Sorry for my bad english
+ i want that unlock slide tghing like on iphone has.
Im relly stuck on deciding what phone to buy,allso i want to play csmini
sorry for my second topic
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3403&idPhone2=3125
They are very similar in terms of hardware. I think it all comes down to personal preference.
Just by the New Xperia Mini or Live with Walkman they aren't expensive.. the x10 mini has a better camera than the x8 but smaller screen size.. x10 mini is a great phone.. but by time it is becoming underpowered. x10 mini still great phone though

Don't know about CSmini but sure you can play pes and fifa and for gta 3 you get fc.
On mini pro you can play pes and gta 3. On the x8 you coulnd play gta since there is no real multitouch. On the mini pro its hard to play becouse of the small screen.

Buy Xperia Mini!
Wait for some time till u have enough money! Its worth waiting!
Xperia mini has both goods of x10 mini and x8 and yet more powerful with its 1ghz processor , multitouch, braviaengine and updates of future android versions!!!!!
Due to small screen the games on x10 mini is not a fun!
So i personally recommended u to wait for some days and buy a smartphone that u wont regret in future!!

It's a stunning little device... but budget may be a issue.
If you need MT you may get lucky with a x10 mini pro with Dualtouch but the screen and keyboard are horridly tiny.
The x8 is better if you just need a phone to mess around with.. take calls ect.. watch vids or listen music basic touch games.. if your lucky BuggyDualTouchTM
Screen is a bit bigger but has the same cpu as x10MP or X10M.
If you have the cash Xperia Mini PRO...
same Xperia ARC chipset. bigger screen ect..
XD That is pretty much big power..
Which phone should be purchase Xperia mini pro or tipo or any other android phone? My budget is 10000 INR.
Required : Good Camera and Good sound.
*Xperia mini pro has a 5 mp camera but tipo has 3.15 mp...
so,the mini pro's camera quality is better than tipo
* Xperia mini pro has better cpu and gpu
* if you want a good sound quality,also you can buy Xperia "Live with walkman" because it has stereo speakers

HTC explorer, Galaxy Y... Xperia mini is better than all these...
But I suggest going for Motorola Defy... I am uncertain about the price... its hardware is awesome... And about the software development leave it on QUARX
Mini or Mini pro is definitely better than tipo
2011 xperias are all power packed... I have lww and it has excellent music quality... Downside is the poor contrast and resolution... HTC explorer has better display with its natural colors...

Galaxy Y has lower hardware specifications. For instance CPU & RAM. Xperia mini, mini pro, live with Walkman has a 1GHz processor & 3xx MB RAM. I guess xperia RAM 350MB.
Tipo has BIGGEST battery life

U can get mini pro for 8700 on ebay. I bought mine there . But if u don't need the physical keyboard, I suggest u should go for LWW coz of the bigger screen. Its for 9600 on ebay... dunno if those deals are still on but check in the deals section of ebay.in
First of all thanx for suggestions to all...Now i think mini /mini pro will be better option as these are loaded with good hardware and software configuration.
XMP
go for XMP bro, it has a better Hardware. tipo has slightly bigger screen wich are not that big deal.
