Hi guys!
Im thinking of buying this phone, but Im little unsecure about the screen. On pictures the screen looks kind of small when it comes to width? It looks same as iPhone 4/S, or what? Is the small width a problem, or is it working very nice?
Do someone have Xperia X10 or some other phone before that can take a picture for comparing? Or do someone have dimensions on the screen width?
Im thinking of Xperia S or LG Prada 3.0 but I don't want a phone with the same screen width as iPhone.. its a little bit small for me.
Thanks!
Skjermen er ikke like liten som iphone, dette er en veldig god telefon anbefales på det sterkeste!
Ikke i bredden heller? Har du noen mål av bredden på skjermen?
I went to currys today and the Xperia S screen is just amazing and the width is fine

Write in English guys... Here you can see the width (of the screen) of the two phones. Ofc the Xperia S has a wider screen, but yes it is not as wide as for example the SGS2.
Okay, so the width is fine.
Sorry for no english above xD
Yeah, but is the screen on Xperia S the same width as X10 maybe? I havnt used a SGS2 so I'm not sure, but I tried a Galaxy S I and the screen was pretty huge, so it does not have to be as huge in width as Galaxy S I
Coming from a IP4 I can 100% say it is not the same, the S is a totally different class, it's huge compared to the 4 but importantly not too big which I think the HTC One X maybe. Just thought I'd give my 2 cents, go for it, you won't be dissapointed (and after a week you'll find the battery life settles down to easily lasting all day)
Huge.. yeah its a little bit huged compared to X10 for example.. tried a dummy at a local store.. xD
But I can say, that I have ordered one now! CAN'T wait!

Do'nt you thin the galaxy s II is unnecesary big ? i come from an inspire 4g which as a slightly larger screen 4.3" vs the 4.27" screen on the galaxy s II , yet the inspire 4g is shorter , the galaxy s looks at least 5 mm taller , i think the top bezel is wider than it should be .
The weird thing is that comparing both phones , the inspire looks a lot wider, almost as if the galaxy s were fwvga
I know it has been mentioned a lot of times bug damn i really miss the notificaton light , cant believe Samsung decided to skip it after they got so many backlash for the lack of a notification light in the original galaxy s II
If galaxy is too big for You why You bought him...?

I take it you wont be getting a Galaxy Note then ?
HTC Inspire 4G
122.9 x 68.1 x 11.7 mm
Samsung Galaxy S II
125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm
Yes it is 2.4mm longer, but more comfortably 2mm narrower. And don't forget the 3.2mm thinner.
By making it so thin they have to put the components, including the Front Facing Camera, someplace. Making it longer is possibly the more desirable way to do it.
Big i don't notice in use .

i know its a big phone but i already had a big phone, i just find it it funny that a phone with an "smaller screen" its noticeably larger than a phone with a "bigger" screen

Sounds reasonable , i'd swear it feels longer than just 2.4 mm, like 5 mm, regarding those 3.2 mm of thinnes between the devices, the sgs 2 feels WAY thinner i cant over that
I believe the inspire uses a different aspect ratio on the screen, the sgs2 has a 15:9 ratio while the inspire probably has a 14:9 ratio making it wider yet shorter. The sensation has a 16:9 ratio and is 1mm narrower but a bit taller than the sgs2.
Must have small hands OP. I find it very comfortable.
Size feels fine to me, can easily operate with one hand.

I wish it wasn't, imagine how much battery life will go up if they used all that space for bigger battery.

that's what makes the phone manageable , all my friends were deceived and think the phone it's smaller tan my inspire 4g, because of the weight and how thin the device is, a 1850 mah battery like the one found on the galaxy s II lte would have been nice tough

with that 1850mah i doubt it will increase the standby as the processors are 1.5ghz.
Its a little big, but not huge either. My point of view, a 4.5" display is too big but a 4.3" is tolerable.

Any chance you can post a screen shot of what you are seeing?
What you are talking about is actually an effect of a pentile display. If you are coming from a phone like a Samsung, or other phone with an AMOLED display, you probably haven't seen this before.
There is nothing wrong with your phone. It's one of the criticisms of pentile. It bothered me at first, but I very quickly got over it, because I realized how much better this display looks in direct light. It's also so much easier on your battery, it doesn't use near the juice that Samsung and HTC displays do.
You will come to love your pentile screen. You can do a Google search for that type of screen to get more pro's and con's.
oooooooooooooooo hahahahahaah dado main ne tum se kaha tha k yeh koi problem ni hai per tu meri kahan sunta hai gando yeh koi problem ni hai

sorry guys i have said the things is in our local language i m saying that the lucky.79 is my one best and closed friend he bought a mopho yesterday and he doubt that the phone which he buy is A+ china copy because he notice the pentile pixel display i told him that the every thing ok but he a NOOb
Hi, i have my iphone for sale now and planning to buy this phone next weekend.
I have had an x10 and arc before.
Some questions now to hear what you think of it instead of reading commercials from Sony
How does changing screens perform. I remember from the x10 it wasn't that responsive and quick and my iphone is.
How sharp is the screen, can i compare it with my retina screen from apple?
I was very active here for years helping thememakers with graphics and everything, are there any devs owning this phone?
If i buy a simlockfree providerfree phone, how easy is it to root ( i typed jailbreak haha) this thing??
Just a couple of concers before i smash 400+ euro out of my pocket.
Cheers,
Arnold
I had X10 & Xperia Arc before, and i can tell you that Xperia S is much much more faster than the other two
About Screen, I don't won iPhone 4s, so i can't compare, but here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYnz1S_jxzE&feature=player_embedded
Quick question...
Does the Xperia S has Led notification for message/missed calls like the Arc and the X10?

The Led notification is the one in the transparent bar? or somewhere else?
Can the colour of the led notification be customised like in the GoSMS app?
I don't have the phone but I answer some things:
There is a LED notification above the screen. I am pretty sure you can customize it's lights.
The transparent bar hold a white light and the phone antenna. As far as I know, it will blink a few times for notifications, and then pass the info to the LED.

Yes, absolutely. I have both side-by-side and the S is gorgeous.

I had the ARC and now have Xperia S, the LED design for ARC was bad, because it's located at the side which makes it difficult to see sometimes.
On Xperia S, the notification LED is much better, as it is located at the front top area. And I feel that it is brighter than ARC.
I just sold my iphone 4 for 350 euro and tonight i will pick up my xperia white 32gb for 360 euro. Good deal in my opinion, only pay 10 euro from my pocket. See you all very soon again!

Damn 360 euros is an excellent price, where you bought it? Because the cheapest Xperia S I have found costs around 440 euros

Thanks! I had the X10 and currently the Arc as well.
Thats good to know that there is still LED notification but i thought it was in the transparent bar
I love the LED light on my SXS, and so glad its at the front of the phone not at the side or on the top like the Arc or Play.
LED colours are as follows:
Flashing Blue: text, incoming call or missed calls
Orange: charging between 10 - 90%
Flashing red:battery 10% or under
Green: battery 90 - 100%
purple/white flash: when making calls, downloading, opening a text, the beginning of receiving a call, when playing music or changing song and also when your doing some other things cannot remember them all right now. Even though the LED notification light just such a small thing I love it and it is very bright aswell.

Hey! I have a Xperia Arc S and im having some issues with the front top LED... It just doesnt blink, it only does when I receive a text or whatever but then it just goes off and only the one on the side blinks.
Anybody with the same issue? What should I do?

Hi.
Today im using lg o2x and im thinking about a change to the xperia.
While looking in this forum i notice that there is some problem in the screen,
Is it in all the devices? Is the ics come soon?
And in the bottom line, is it worth buying?
Compared to the O2X freaking everything is worth buying. Later devices don't have screen problems and we already have ICS and will get CM9 soon.
Yep........... its really good.....
But!
1) battery life = LAME(middle usage 19-21 hours)
2)my screen wakes up in the middle of nowhere without pressing any button
Edit:1 24-29 hours with juice defender ultimate 2:fixed updating the phone
Well my o2x is a fantastic phone,not even 1 problem since i install the cm7.
Ok than battery lame, and "live" screen.
How is the browser experience and the speaker quality?

Speaker quality is really good. Browser is nice and it has WebGL which is Sony's unique patch.

The models that have yellow display have been mostly phased out. The new ones shouldn't have any problem.
LG O2x will always have an awesome community, for modding its very hard to beat currently no matter what phone you buy next even GS3.
Reminds me of the HTC HD2 scene in scope and modding.
The modding scene will hopefully be as good for the SXS, it's quite good tho largly due to the stock Sony software experience being quite nice all round.
-smc
absolutely, yes.
Because its good looking.
And if u dont have any wired needs, Xperia S can fulfill all u life.
I just notice in youtube that the banchmark scores are low compare to the new phones.

You can't judge a phone by benchmark. Nexus 7 is another example, not the best in benchmark, but the smoothest compared to other android device. Same goes to Xperia s, smooth.

Awesome phone, Glad I got it, Screen is amazing, Really smooth on ICS, Speaker is really loud, Looks sexy, Not a bad thing to say about it really, For the first couple of days my screen seemed to have an all over yellow tint but now it's completely gone.
YES worth buying
Camera is awesome!
screen is awesome
looks awesome and unique
Powerfull device,Optimized well.
What about the buttons? I've seen some threads where people say that the buttons are very unresponsive.

Middle button is unresponsive. BUT you get used to it and realize just press a little harder and it will function. don't let the buttons drive you away from this phone. I'm current using/testing HTC ONE X International and Xperia S. So far i'm liking the Xperia S more.
Funny that you ask it here... I looooooove this phone... And the people that hated the phone are obviously not here...

Hi, I dreamed of XPERIA S, I dont like it anymore after 2 months of using, phone gets a lot of dust under back cover, screen is not that awesome as SONY says, it's not that ultra bright and colors are not that super. As for camera I'd say that my old XPERIA Arc took better pictures than this, also picture quality is not that good for 12MP. I really wouldnt buy that phone, I'd go for new Acro S.

-gets a lot of dust under back cover: use case... trust me, case will make SXS sexier..
-screen is not that awesome as SONY says: there are three types of SXS's screens. see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803723 for me it's really good. i dont why that Sony made those differences.
- As for camera I'd say that my old XPERIA Arc took better pictures than this, also picture quality is not that good for 12MP: try another camera app. i found that LG Camera takes better picture. and no! bigger megapixels dont make it better quality, it's the lens that all count for quality.and i found out that SXS's lens is very good. especially in outdoor (enough lightning). and with no enough lightning (which i havent found any phone that make good quality photo in low lightning), Photoshop will do the trick.
Hey I'm looking to buy the xperia s! I'm currently using the xperia play but its starting to lag out on me. Few questions tho.
1) Should I get the xperia s? Or pay around 65$ more for tje xperia sl? Is it worth for the slight speed boost?
2) Every review I've read says the android navigation buttons suck. They aren't that bad are they?
3) Coming from a smaller phone, I'm worried the xperia s might be too big in the hand. I've always hated big phones like the s3 and note, etc. 4.3 is perfect for a display size but I've heard the xperia s is extremely big considering the screen size. Should i be worried?
4) Any other useful info or comments about your experience with your xperia s!
Thank you!
Sent from my R800i
Hey I was once in the same boat as you, previously owned a Play it died though... Since I bought my S I've never looked back.
1) Just get the S all you get with the Sl is a slight overclock, that's it. Not worth an extra 65$
2) No, they're very responsive for me. I think It's an aquired skill, practice makes perfect
3) I thought this too but the device fits very comfortably in my hand and the screen is amazing
4) It depends whether you plan on sticking with stock or using custom software really
Hope I helped :good:
1) SL has aluminium body, that would be my only reason to choose the SL over the S. I don't miss those 200mhz, really. But 65$ doesn't seem too much for an unlocked phone, unless if it's from say 135 to 200 (on a contract)
2) They tend to be kinda unresponsive, but I found a way to not miss, I slide my finger upwards from the transparent bar going to the screen area, pressing the button on my way up without missing. It's kinda lame when you think about it, but you get used to it, it comes naturally when navigating using the soft keys.
3) The device is actually too big for the screen size, too much bezel, specially up and down. But it doesn't feel unconfortable or anything. It's just a good size phone.
4) My only gripe is that the battery life feels too random. Some days I feel it endures a hard day of heavy usage, some other days it just dies on nothing.

1) Only if you are ready to pay 65$ extra for one of the new colors. Hardware wise it's just overclocked.
2) I don't have any problem with the keys. But I noticed when I hand my phone to other people they often need to press twice because they press really far off. (sometimes they try to press the transparent bar )
3) I had the same thought but I came from an ray (!) got used to the size within two days, now I don't want to miss it.
4) I love the s. It's fast, smooth and the display is amazing. The design is an absolute eyecatcher.
Battery isn't the strongest but it lasts the same as my ray did, and at least a full working day with a lot and lot of usage.
