At the moment i own an Iphone 4s (my first ever iphone) I have had several Android phones including HTC, Samsung Galaxy, Lg 3D & more..
I find the Iphone very responsive with very crisp screen, BUT i find the screen size & customization options poor even though it's jailbroken!!!
I have looked at selling the iphone in favour of another Android.
Would some of you be kind enough to give me your honest opinions on how this new Sony compares to the Iphone 4s 16gb?
Kind Regards
Mark

I've had several Android Phones, 1st gen iPhone.
Currently I own a Xperia S coming from an iPhone 4.
My personal choice for going back to Android was the customization, not being locked down with 1 OS/ROM and also the standard customization you could do in Android is much more than iPhone. I'm not saying the iPhone wasn't good but it didn't meet my needs anymore.
Also price/spec wise Android phones are better equipped and in general a bit cheaper (especially Xperia S which in my opinion is a very good price/spec phone).
Apart from OS I also had the need for a bigger screen as I do alot of reading on the phone (I catch up several sites when watching TV).
Choice of phone is something personal but these are just my 2 cents and my reasons for making the switch back to Android.
Thanks, Why did you choose sony over all other models? I have looked at the Galaxy s2, The HTC one s (Is Quad core support implemented in ICS?)
I have watched several videos that show the Benchmark of the sony beating several high end phones, But i am a little concerned with the battery life & button response problems!!!
For me the display on the XS is much better than the iPhone now..larger and crisper.. And the interface is very smooth.. (I've come from xperia arc) ..customisations are always going to be better on Android.. See if you can get to try one out for yourself..

Few reason.
1. Best ppi display on market 342 with 720p
2. Sony software optimization is quitly the best, xperia arc beat up galaxy s2 and xperia s beat up htx one x (browser,camera speed) even we dont have ics yet. When we get ics we will beat up htc one x even more.
3. Exmor r chip for camera, the best for me (for pic in dark room)
4. Xloud which improve sound a lot better then beats audio of htc (was using it some time)

Thanks Guys!, I think i might just go for one!. I love the design even though some people say they r fugly... I'm just bored of the iphone & need rid... I might not even need to put my reading glasses on with a bigger screen lol
You have been very helpful, Thanks!
Have Xperia S, iPhone 4s and HTC One X. Used to own Nexus One, HD2, iPhone 4 and galaxy S 2. For me, iPhone 4s works best as an everyday phone. But in the android camp, xperia s is the best I've used so far. Maybe no ICS for now, but the overall system responsiveness and stability are much better than ONE X's Sense 4.0. Battery life far exceeds it as well. One X's battery is truly the worst nightmare!

Just curious why do you have so many different phones (work related or developing software)
i came from an iphone 4s also. while i love the iphone and the os, i just wanted something different so i got the sony. i have to say both phones are great. i still like iphone for what it is. but the sony is also nice with all the customizing and the look. you really cant go wrong with either one, but for now between these two i would take the sony. and especially since in the US not many people have the phone. i get people asking everyday what phone i have.
when the iphone comes out with a bigger screen, then it will be a little harder decision
I also have both iPhone 4s and xperia. I think iPhone is much more easy to use. My wife loves it but I like Android cause it's more customize. Geek like us would love Android but average user would prefer iPhone due to user friendly but for me Android better because I play and change hoe it look everyday.

As fast as screen resolution. Apple is known to have better and I am sure iPhone 5 will be better and higher resolution. Look at iPad 3. I also have iPad 1,2 and 3.

All I can say is that ever since getting my Xperia S, the iPhone 4S' in my office look really, really dated. Chunky, with a small screen. Plus the guys with the iPhones have all been drooling over the screen on the Xperia.
Having said that, I strongly suspect the new iPhone will look very nice indeed, and they are all very easy to use.
Used the 4 and 4s.
This is my third android phone.
I would say iphone.
Why? The software.
Whatever a phone you got.
20 mp, 2ghz quad cpu etc..
If the software sucks, the phone will also suck.
This is my last android phone.
I will wait for ics for this crap.
Last chance. If ics is also crap. Never go back to android.
I will smash this phone in pieces and get an iphone instead.
Peace.

Haha, silly you
Have you ever heard of Silly Billy?
If Phones was games consoles, iPhone would be a Wii, they are are for people that who ain't got a clue about other products and assume the 4s is almighty
I personally don't like the iOS, and hardware wise there's a lot better from other Androids let alone the the XPS, and a lot of its features although the quality is there, are overrated & limited(mainly to Apple products)
And for me personally, I like to snap shots of my daughter & print them off at my local Kodak kiosk, something iPhone don't allow.
But all down to personal preference, and my preference is I know better.

Coming from iPhone myself, I would say keep it keep it keep it! Even if the bootloader is never unlocked or circumnavigated it is still leaps and bounds over the iPhone 4.

I would stay with the Atrix since the iPhone cannot match the reception of the Atrix, amongst a few other things.
Maybe ill keep it for awhile and see what happens to it in the future.

I prefer Android because ios is at the simplicity level for a 5 year old.
Its like a video game... Iphone is easy mode and android is hardcore mode
Iphone is easy to master fun to jump into and android you read forums and you gotta learn it. But when you master android you become a superuser and can honestly keep that new phone feel daily. My nexus felt new for a year and a half. My 3gs felt new for 3 months... My atrix feels like I'm in the future.

Honestly I like the iphone- its aesthetically appealing in design and media, but the Atrix is a powerhouse in comparison. Comparable in graphics, the Atrix gives you more screen without being overly big like some other android phones such as the infuse.
It all comes down to the user. Are you a mac or pc guy? Its really that simple. If you're a pc guy, you wont regret the Atrix. I love it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I have both phones...I got the iPhone 4 and the Atrix on both of their respective release dates. Let's break it down:
Obviously, both iOS and Android have their proven advantages. Jailbroken iOS vs. rooted Atrix...it's a close call. One of the things I really love about iOS is the universality- in respects of apps and common accessories. It's always really convenient knowing where ever you go, someone is going to have an iPhone/iPod charger. And, one of the things I really love about Android is the open source feel and really just the amount of customization possible. Even with a jailbroken iPhone, Android is just simply more customizable. Software is a near tie, but I've got to give it to iOS because it really is just easier to do simple tasks quickly.
Hardware wise, both devices are pretty impressive. Since Apple is realeasing 1 device a year and Motorola is releasing approximately ~10, the build quality is going to be better on an iPhone. Really think about it- all the Android manufacturers are just getting as many phones as they can get out possible. The only device I feel is just completely solid all around, in every aspect, is the Nexus One/Nexus S, but obviously that's because Google itself has every say in every detail of the device. That being said, the build quality on the Atrix is still really good. If it didn't have such a horrible back/battery cover, it would be pretty even with the solid feeling you get when holding an iPhone. It'd also be nice to have some aluminum on the Atrix to make it feel a little more sturdy, and a better placement of the lock button would be nice since you can't unlock the device laying flat. But, the Atrix has 2 hardware advantages- screen size and overall reception. I consistently drop less calls and get better reception indoors with my Atrix than my iPhone. No surprise really, but it's the truth. And playing the games that are available on the Atrix are simply more entertaining because of the larger screen. I've got to give the hardware award to the iPhone too, but this is also a close call.
Of course, this is all my opinion, and even though I rotate which device I use almost daily, I do tend to pick my iPhone more often than not. I think both iOS and Android are amazing OS's, and Android really is a fun platform that's more capable out of the box, but the one and only thing that truly keeps me from using my Atrix as much as my iPhone 4 is the lack of apps. I'm a student, which means I use lots of apps/games on a daily basis, and the inability to have the same app as someone around while using my Atrix really is what keeps me from using it more. Aside from customization apps/Swype, I haven't once seen an app on Android that I wished iOS had. Any great app Android has is available on iOS (aside from the stock applications). But really, accounting for all of these things, it's what feels right for you. When people ask me which platform to get since I do have both, I say for 90% of people, iPhone's are the obvious choice, because most people that ask me that question obviously aren't tech savvy. But, that 10% does exist for tech savvy and power users. Asking myself and yourself that question is obviously much more difficult because we are both tech savvy and power users, otherwise you wouldn't be on XDA. There isn't a clear choice, but for me, if I had 1 choice I'd choose my iPhone and I wouldn't hesitate. Ask yourself that question, which one could you not live without? There's your answer.
I use my iphone 4 more often because I love the retina display and the games are way better. Android is slowly dieing, too many phones are using android os and its killing itself from the market I'm very lucky I traded my atrix for an ipad 64gb and 200 bucks so no more android for me. Android Facebook app needs alot of work . It comes down too if u want to keep flashing shiity roms. Choose android or if u want a phone that works pick up a iPhone 4.

I hardly think Android is dying (or dieing as you called it). It is growing faster than anticipated and predicted.
Nothing wrong with an Apple product and I own and love my Macbook. I played with the iPhone and never wanted one.
My reply to the OP is if you want a phone that does most everything that an iPhone does and yet be able to make phone calls and not drop connection, then for sure go with the Atrix.

I agree but My iphone gets the same reception as the Atrix. Seems like a few Android apps do need a little more brushing up(facebook, scorecenter for example).
Iphone apps? LoL don't make me laugh.. You don't have emulators... Flash..
Do they even have the new maps? I think the best iphone apps I had were google apps... **** if you liked tinkering with iphone it was a clear step to android.

So finally the galaxy s3 is here. What do you fellas think of it. Please share.
For me, considering that I took no notice of the over hyped rumor mill that preceded it's launch, its a great phone with a few decent new features like s voice, s-beam, eye tracking, etc.
Although these features I suspect will have very limited day to day application, they're still nice to have and show Samsung to be at the vanguard of new innovations. It also feels like an ICS phone which sadly the HTCs do not. Maybe something to do will the 3.0 kernel.
The processing capabilities are very impressive with a buttery smooth user interface and silky scrolling. In terms of speed, it obviously won't feel much faster than most multi core devices but it's smoothness is unrivaled.
An 8mp camera and the absence of a hdmi port is rather disappointing but not crucial. It's design will not please all. Let's face it, no design pleases all.
Given a choice today between it and the xperia s, I probably would still go with the xperia because it has the hdmi port and better quality display but I hope the ICS update improves the UI performance and scrolling. Without improvement in those areas, I might find myself beginning to regret picking the xperia.
I thing user experience counts for a lot and a jerky and even laggy experience is quite frankly in my opinion, beneath a 2012 phone.

Not good and pretty enough. I didn't regret buying SXS over the One series and still I don't regret buying it.
And seriously. Pentile display in a flagship phone?

I couldn't care for it really...like all the other phones out now besides the Sony line, its...blah...
Nothing appealing to the eye :/
They should/could have made it better, all bark and no bite.
....next!
Meh. Looks like a Galaxy Nexus 4S. A bit more screen, a bit more CPU power, a bit of this and a bit of that. Lots of gimmicks that you're never going to use - the best are wireless charging and S Beam ( which is most likely SGS3 to SGS3 only ), though the latter can and likely will be implemented in AOSP or forks when someone gets their hands on the actual device and explores the protocol, or maybe even earlier without Sammy compatibility. Lots of even more gimmicky accessories (spebble). Ugly ugly ugly ugly UGLEH body. Battery hog (quad-core x AMOLED x front camera always on aka Smart Stay - wireless charging = fail ). If I had to choose between my Desire and the SGS3, I would pick SGS3. But my XPS does everything I need so I won't be getting that thing ever.
@OP Sammy never was the innovator in the first place. Almost every single killer feature they have is either vanilla ICS or already exists in some form.

I think it will do much better than that. Credit where credit is due. It's the best performing phone right now and I just hope ics improves the ui performance of the xperia s because it's the poorest part of the phone. It's pretty fast and instant everywhere else but the UI feels very 2011 possibly even 2010ish in its performance which is a damn shame.
Well lets keep hope alive even history tells us that software development has always been one of Sony Ericsson weaknesses.

The thing is smoothness to CPU power is not linear. Having four cores doesn't give you an instant boost and a buttery smooth UI. This 'lag' is the way Android works and the great multitasking power we are used to might not have been possible without it. The rest is manufacturer optimisation. And yeah, quit whining about smoothness. Try ICS on a G1 and you'll be happy about how smooth your UI is on any other device.

It definitely fell short.
I think too many people hyped it up.
I know that many Samsung fanboys are upset. I was on another forum and after the unveil all I heard were complaints.
It is the new performance benchmark though.
However, it's too freaking big and the design is ugly.
Can't wait for the Sony Hayabusa to mop the floor with it.
and just one more thing, MEIZU quad core is most powerfull phone on market this year...
Samsung isnt top BEAST out there...

I don't think I mentioned CPU anywhere in any of my posts. The UI performance of the xperia is the poorest of all the new phones out right now. It's as quick as any if not faster at performing tasks. Could be something to do with the very graphics intensive nature of it but I think it's performance is not quite 2012ish.
Let's not turn this into a fanboy topic. It's not a major crime hoping for software improvements now is it.
I did not believe any of the rumors that followed the Samsung so I'm not surprised in any way by it's spec sheet.
Those who were expecting 1080p displays and all the rest of it were just living on another planet. You can't expect too much after just a year after the release the S2.
Can we not discuss the positives and negatives of phones without reverting to all the tribal nonsense.

Then you should ask this question on general android forum section....not in SXS section...we are with reasons on SXS, reason to buy it, to keep it and reason to develop it.
We do not need any other phones on this part of forum if you ask me..
but you asking in wrong places....
that is like a blog of iPhone ask that about SGS3....LOL
Seriously you think that big egg is very beautiful??
I mean you're joking right!you know I even had second thoughts of buying HTC OneX,
Then again thank god that I didn't go for the Tegra 3 chipset cause nVidia has some issues with HD video playback and which snapdragon doesn't have at all.
and I even noticed that XPS is very responsive and smooth,
I seriously don't care about the faster performing tasks, only thing that bugs me is the yellow tint that I got, which is a pain in the ass when it heats up.
and even though samsung tried too hard to put up their new phone and they failed to beat up iPad's GPU which is sad for them,
technically I don't regret having this phone and I really love the timescape UI and I think they will do something new with their ICS update,
cause they always the first to come up with new ideas and others tend to copy it from them.and I love the fact that they are keeping up with snapdragon chipset.
I know nothing much about nova thor chipset though..
GS III is an epic failure to me and I'm looking forward to get this hyabusa with S4 chipset.
the funny thing is that after GS3 the very next day LG comes and anounced a BEAST phone with Quad core chip,1,5ghz,4,7 inch screen with 720p display 32gb internal with micro sd support,LTE and the best thing 2GB RAM which Samsung already has 1GB AGAIN with GS3..i love galaxy s2 but galaxy s3 dissapointed me...i own a Sony Xperia S now and i am very happy with it..after the Samsung Galaxy S3 event i trade my Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Sony Xperia S because Samsung made me mad (seriously PENTILE SCREEN again??i dont give a fawk if it is AMOLED screen)...Now i love SXS because its my first Sony smartphone and i have to say its brilliant and fast and the screen is just AWSOME...!LOVE IT seriously and i prefer to go for the new LG with 2GB ram rather than SG3 if i had to give SXS for another but i will not do this soon...now i will shut my mouth and i will enjoy SONY XPERIA S!!!!
I do like the eye tracking idea (bugs me like hell when the screen switches off when I'm reading something!!).. but I the rest of it is generally pretty lame.. and the size.. Jeez.. I'm 6'1" and I couldn't operate a phone like that with one hand.. just too big.. Quad core.. schmod core... once we have ICS we will see a smoothness added to the UI...
not impressed... and other than the fact that they have a big customer base from the SGSII.. I can't see why anyone would choose it.
Not bad!
I can't deny that i've been anxiously waiting for the release of this new Sammy device and a bit impressed of it overall!
The design is not bad as most of the people say, not new but not repulsive.
As of the specs, we all expected most of the things; that's y most of us SXS owners didn't wait for its release coz the SXS did it all!
I already owned SGS2 and HTC sensation, both were amazing, but after i used SXS, i really enjoyed having a smartphone, in terms of build and sound quality and most of all the software, but really annoyed from the touch buttons though. The phone never hanged on me, always smooth and responsive, not like the touchwiz which is primitive and the sense which is laggy no matter what u do with it.
We should wait and see when it's available and after being used by people and assess after user experiences!

Seriously you think that big egg is very beautiful??
I mean you're joking right!you know I even had second thoughts of buying HTC OneX,
Then again thank god that I didn't go for the Tegra 3 chipset cause nVidia has some issues with HD video playback and which snapdragon doesn't have at all.
and I even noticed that XPS is very responsive and smooth,
I seriously don't care about the faster performing tasks, only thing that bugs me is the yellow tint that I got, which is a pain in the ass when it heats up.
and even though samsung tried too hard to put up their new phone and they failed to beat up iPad's GPU which is sad for them,
technically I don't regret having this phone and I really love the timescape UI and I think they will do something new with their ICS update,
cause they always the first to come up with new ideas and others tend to copy it from them.and I love the fact that they are keeping up with snapdragon chipset.

Again I never said the galaxy s3 was beautiful. All I said was beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I also said that given the choice, I world pick the xperia because it suits me more.
I'm very disappointed that very few people in here have the grace to say anything positive about the S3 which is a shame as it has many good points too.
Instead we have ended up with the same tribalism where you only dwell on the negatives.
The eye tracking thing is a bit suspect in my opinion. Having the front facing camera constantly working like that could have a detrimental impact on battery life.
My greatest appreciation is reserved for the silky smooth UI. Now that's something I could really do with. I'm rather tied of jerky and laggy.

I for one never said that it's a bad device. I even said I would buy it in certain conditions. The chipset is good, the screen is good, the software has some good features that I outlined. But overall SGS3 is the Half-Life 3 of mobile devices. It was hyped so much that it couldn't live up to the hype built around it not without Samsung's help. We expected something revolutionary, and got something evolutionary. Therefore the general meh direction this discussion is taking.

Was expecting a Arc>>>SGII situation
But it's just another One X
To put it in a metaphor, the SXS is ya Japanese/European supercar
SGIII/One X is ya American Muscle
I guess It depends on what ya want from the phone really, I personally still think what you lose from the SXS for them quads is too much.

Finally a bit of objective commentary. Thank you sir.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Im debating leaving my 4S for android again and to me in terms of looks and features this and the one x look the best, now advantages this has over the x is 32gb internal (US version of x), 4.3 vs 4.7 (4.7 is huge!) and not sure what else, both sense 4 and xperia ui look great, both look awesome in design, both are dual core, both have fast data speeds and stuff like that. As for the one x it has only 16gb vs 32gb on the xperia s but the one x has LTE on att.
Anyway, for those of you with the XS, what are your thoughts overall? Happy with your purchase?
I'm interested in the Xperia S as well.
I will tell you I had a Euro HTC One X last month and sold it. The phone was very buggy. Not just a few but enough to make me sell it. Size wise it was fine, yes big and I have a iPhone 4S as well.
The AT&T version looked good, but I was just reading that users are only getting about 9 gigs after all the bloat wear and apps on the phone. Just not enough IMO.
So I'm temped to get the Xperia, no ICS, but the UI looks good and a good Launcher won't matter.
I like the camera features, though the One X had a few better features, like taking a pic while recording video.
Anyway any AT&T users of this phone, what's the verdict?

Taking pics while shooting video is an ICS thing. HTC is trying hard to make it their killer feature, but it actually isn't.

For me personally having tested the one x as well, the xperia is a much better phone.
The two front runners are the xperia and the galaxy S3.
The one x has all the bells and whistles but fails to deliver, the galaxy S3 has doggy looks but delivers a great user experience while the xperia looks the best but only really delivers for the mainstream user. It's not a phone for the hardcore who always want the latest cutting edge specs.
All these phones are much much better than the toyish iPhone. Apple's problem isn't hardware but software. IOS is still just basically an app launcher and I don't believe that'll change much with IOS6.
Steve jobs stuck to the line that fluidity was better than sophistication. Google on the other hand opted for sophistication knowing fully well that hardware would catch up. Google have won there just as Microsoft did in the nineties.
IOS is so inferior to android that I just can't see them closing the huge gulf that exists between both platforms in only a year. Software wise Apple are behind and will always stay behind because of a philosophy that failed them against Microsoft and is certain to fail them again today.
Overall I'd say get the xperia. ICS hopefully will see the phone really shine bright.

Personally for what I do with my phones I see them as pretty similar, its when I start wanting to do stuff like moves files on the phone, apps arent as open in what they can do with the file system and you can basiclly customize anything in android, beyond that to call an iphone a toy is ridiculous, it can do mostly everything android can except some features when you start digging deep, in the end its all about what you need, I consider myself a pretty big tech guy and I rarely run into a situation where Im like "Oh man I REALLY wish I had and android right now!" only times are when using the crappy youtube app (guess why lol), maps could be better, and random scenarios when doing file management stuff.
And yea the GS3 has great specs but but ugly! Like...really ugly lol

Even you yourself have in your response, highlighted quite a few instances where android either can while the iPhone can't or where android can just do it better.
I suggest to you that there are a lot of these instances, and that's right through the operating system. Android carries out most functions in fewer steps than IOS and is more intuitive in just as many ways.
The iPhone like I said, is just an app launcher and that's the stuff of 5yrs ago.
Hand held computing is much more than that now.
The iPhone is what it is, just another 'must have' joker, a status symbol, a very bold neon sign that says ' hey look at me, I'm the man you see in the place to be'.
There you will find the reason for its success and nowhere else.

My 2 pennies worth.
I don't like Apple, never have and never will for various reasons.
As far as the one x, used one for few hours last week and hated it. It is just full of bugs, too many annoyances to list here. I tried it as I was offered one at a good price, but decided to stick with my XperiaS.

One x on ATT is boot loader locked, great mobile tho and I'd get that version not the Tegra3.
I'd still get the xperia s over both of them tho as I did

Eh, we all have opinions, I like the simplicity and integration of apple combined with its top notch hardware, and I find Android to be a bit all over the place at times, for me they both have their pros and cons and I can use either, now WP7, thats a different story, I have tried it twice and just cant use it, the font and overall style is amazing and it does something things that "just make sense" when you think about it, but then it does things or misses features where it leaves you scratching your head, that combined with the fact that the app slection sucks and the hardware is pretty sub par, wp7 overall leaves much to be desired but has big potential if some major changes are done.
For now I'll wait for the IP5 and see what it offers, if disappointing I'll go android. As of now Im happy with my 4S.
Symbian also wasnt actually too bad! Just SO slow due to bad specs and like 10 apps lol, other then that it was great on my old Nokia's, and WM was alsmot the same in those aspects aswell imo, great potential but the OS was so slow due to low ram and weak proc, they were ahead of their time, but when the time came it was too late.
Yes symbian was very functional. It just lacked the fluidity and the presence of android. Android just like windows will become almost ubiquitous within 10 years.
It's Google's alternative to Windows. Understand that and you'll understand where it's going.

Competition is good, it forces everyone to step up their games, hopefully apple can impress with IOS6 and lets see if MS can turn around WP sales with an updated WP fixing the missing features and what not.
Please, lets stop saying "the Iphone can do what android can" and just face the facts. My droid can share files ota easily, run programs that can remotely control computers, etc... My sister has a hard time transferings songs from her mac book to her iphone... Enough said.
I am already planning on getting an xperia S. The choices I was facing was either the SGS3, ONE X and Xperia S. I was a bit dissapointed with SE last year when I got my NEO V because the hardware specs werent that competitive(single core 1ghz, 512 ram, 420mb storage). When xperia s came out it was a large step from what they had last 2011. I was thinking of shifting to samsung for the s3 but after I saw how ugly it is, it was safe to assume that im going with sony again. I never did like htc because of its crappy QC and sub-standard build quality.
I have to give to Sony though...their phones really are sexy. Aesthetically, it looks top class. Even the UI is one of the best around.

You are right Android can do more then iphone but the majority of iphone users could care less about that stuff so its a moot point for them, all they care about is playing music, web, phone, text, apps, just the basic stuff which iphone does exceptionally well, honestly thats all I use my phone for. Most iphone users dont care about cores, ram, and stuff like that, thats what many seem to not understand. All I want is a quad core and bigger screen on iphone which im sure the 5 will.
Exactly! Its like comparing apples with oranges...each has its own purpose.
Me personally, I needed a phone that can double as my pc and laptop at the same time... I do a lot on it; edit files, remotely controling my pc at home, viewing wifi cams at home, works as an extension for other devices, etc. I need a phone that can do more than just play music and other basic stuff.
When I saw the xperia S camera specs, I figured I need more now. I travel a lot and take tons of photos for personal and work purposes... This means I dont have to carry my camera all the time.

So the wife just bought a new Iphone 4s.
I have been an android user for some time now. I must say though. I am EXTREMELY impressed. Honestly the phone IMO seems much superior if you are not running custom ROMs, themes, etc. Hell, MOST roms dont even touch it as pretty much every rom never runs flawless and always crashes or has some sort of bug.
This is one android user who is really debating about getting the Iphone 5 when it is released.
Anyone else have any experience with the iphone VS EVo3D?
I think evo 3d not so good enough compare to 4s, i was seen in YouTube, evo 3d loose in almost test.. But evo 3d got a flawless victory against iphone 4.. Imho I have to say evo 3d is the fit to compete iphone 4 not for 4s..

compare Evo 3D versus Iphone 4. Iphone will lose. compare HTC One X versus Iphone 4s, same story? I just sold Iphone 4 after one week, it's just... Device annoyed me, a lot Small screen, camera sucked... Moved to Evo 3D, great camera, 3D big screen, fast cpu.
First of all,iPhone is flawless because it doesn't have any features.It's a shinny brick.Saying that the iPhone is better is like saying that a no-options '93 car is better than a 2012 full-option car.iPhone is flawless because it has too little features to break down.You can't even put a custom ringtone only if you put it through ****ty iTunes.Why do you think Android has taken over?(and now it has about 60% from Worlds phones).People started realising that you buy an iPhone only if you are a douchebag/hipster and want to impress others OR you haven't heard of Android/Windos Phone.
IN MY OPINION,F*** APPLE and their overpriced products
I love both android and iPhone. They both have their pros and cons. The reason I got an evo was because of the screen size. And once the iPhone 5 I will be debating if I should get the evo lte or iPhone.

It's not about hate, but about freedom and features. Iphone got small screen and camera, one or two unique features. Compare almost any Windows Phone or Android phone and you will get lot of features, bigger screen, better camera, lot of free apps. HTC frequently release source code for a kernel or even all base. Android is open source. Apple made MAC OS and parts of iOS from a FreeBSD. Did anyone here got any kernel source from apple?

I must say though. One feature iphone 4s has that is pretty sweet is Siri. Pretty amazing. As far as the screen size. That's one reason I would never get the 4s. However the iphone 5 is supposed to have at least a 4 inch screen.
With all that being said. For the aspect of just a smartphone, the iphone seems far superior in how smooth it is.

Both phones are good. Haters gonna hate, but the iPhone has always been a top-quality product. I'm not saying it's better than the Evo, I'm just saying it isn't a BAD phone. I've tested both of them, and according to me, the EVO is a better option, because it performs better and runs on Android. iOS gets boring after the first five minutes of use, while Android (especially ICS) is a more interesting operating system. You have much more abilities. The iPhone may beat the EVO in some cases (like smoothness in the menus), but overall, the EVO is a winner here.

That's a little offensive. My wife has a 4s and she is neither a douchebag or a Hipster. She's even heard of android and wp7, if you can imagine. What she wanted is a simple smartphone that handled her needs flawlessly. The iPhone does just that. Is it for me? No..I like the customization of android. But seriously, rethink your words.

Maybe the 12MP Camera looks like better, but the fact is that the image quality of Xperia S is lower than IPhone 4s（just with 8MP Camera）;
Not only that, the peformance and user experience of IPhone 4s is much better than Xperia S. So, what about IPhone 5.
Xperia V is very greater than iPhone 5
I don't care. I'll have both!

Very biased opions here, I've used both of them. In fact, I've used a lot of Sony and Apple models in the recent past: Iphone 4, 4S, 3GS, Acr S, XS, Acro S, Ion. My dad also own an Iphones 3GS for at least 2 years and my brother purchased a Iphone 4S not a long time ago.
- OMG, Iphone is much smoother and stable: nonsense, my Acro S, XS are also very fast and super smooth.
- Camera is better: I've produced pictures with amazing quality with the XS and Acro S. For the Iphone, It's just okayish, not bad, but nothing to write home about.
- Battery life of the Iphone is amazing: really? My brother Iphone 4S sometimes went down faster than my Acro S even when he's not really use the phone as much as I do.
- It's more beautiful: again, very subjective thinking.
In the end, the Iphone 5 will sell well because their customers base is so strong, not because their products are anything better or worse. My brother, being the one that understand very little about phones and teachnology, keeping saying that the new Iphone 5 is the best thing ever happened. I've tried to convinced him buying the XS for a long time and ended up giving up as he kept insisting on buy an Iphone.

Read it straight. You know what i mean.
I honestly feel iphone is for kids! Beautiful and simple, thats all about it! I don't want a phone for which all is decided by uncle cook, i would rather have a 2011 android instead, let alone 2012 droids !
OFC Xperia S is better... Iphone is a phone for dumb people.. or SHEEPS!
