Sony ST21i reportedly rocks Android 4.0.3 ICS and is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset with a single-core Snapdragon CPU clocked at 800 MHz and an Adreno 200 GPU - just like the one found in the Xperia X10 mini, X8, Galaxy Ace and others.
The Sony ST21i display is a 3.2-incher LCD of HVGA (320 x 480) resolution, but lacks the BRAVIA engine. A 3 MP camera that does VGA video recording is supposed to sit on the back of the compact droid.
There's no info on the pricing and availability of the smartphone just yet.

There you have it. Same hardware as our Ace and ICS. Samsung cant lie us anymore. Our phone is good enough for ICS.
Maybe we should ask Sony to give ICS update for our phone instead Samsung.
Lol why would Sony do that but yes that is an eye opener 4 Sammy
PS:Sony Ace just wont cut it!

here galaxy w is selling like hot cake. when i'm at the shop earlier when picking my phone, got 3 separate customers asking for it :/
but its just popular among masses, not the geek. regular customer wont even know and dont care what the hell is gingerbread, ics, kernel etc. they just buy what is popular, what is showed by newspaper everyday. thats why galaxy w and y is doing well here

Why Galaxy S wont get ICS update from Samsung? That is very popular phone.
Samsung is only making up stupid excuses.
They say that hardware isn't enough for tw. That is just excuse not real fact.
Why tw is more demanding then AOKP or MIUI4 when it has less features.
I think that they don't care. That is a real reason.

Hardware is excellent but in a year you may end up in situation having a hardware that can run newer updates but you wont get official support by Samsung.

what so bad about 320x480? at least it can play gameloft games and such.

Well, if your current phone has already been sold and you need a new one _now_, I guess can't choose an xperia mini pro 'cause they aren't out yet (to the best of my knowledge).
By the way, I like the phone too a lot. Both it and the Xperia ray. tough choice, neither should be prohibitively expensive, and both have very decent specs and small size. The choice is between higher resolution, thinner and better display (colors) or hardware keyboard

Well atleast in India I feel the motorola defy is the best phone under Rs15000 in the mid-high segment.
Its got great dev support,got cm7 and officially supports miui too. Plus better procy+gpu which can eaily be overclocked to 1.2Ghz.

also galaxy Y doest not have adreno gpu.......
but its ok to buy this phone because of its low cost
as its way better than any other phones available in the market as of now
And the,small 1200 mah battery will last u only a day or less...
in place of Galaxy Y i will advices Dell XCD 35 ..only 8.3k
The andreno 200 gpu of our o1 is missing in galaxy y ..
its resolution is 240*320 while o1 has 320*480,.
.The galaxy y has 133ppi (pixels per inch)while our lovable o1 has 180 ppi,
our o1 has a powerful 1500mah battery against 1200mah battery in gy..
Definitely cheap but I wouldn't go for it cos optimistic I available at some places for 9k..
However the most attractive feature of galaxy y is official 2.3.5,832mhz process with FLASH SUPPORT!

Galaxy Ace Plus makes a good buy considering that it runs the latest version of Android and has a powerful 1Ghz processor. However, if you are very keen on the battery and would want your phone to stand for long, note that the Galaxy Ace has a battery of 50mAh lesser than the original Galaxy Ace, though such a small change in the battery capacity would not matter much during practical usage.

they haven't said anything on ICS and GB is pretty much common as most of devices are updated which were released last year.....
50mAh won't matter much on ace but considering 1GHz it would matter a lot as most of would overclock....

I agree, this is like a smaller Galaxy S rather than an upgraded Ace. Same CPU clock speed, same amount of RAM, same camera res, but with considerably worse TFT screen rather than the Super Amoled, not to mention pretty much the same res as before. GS is bigger too. It'd probably come out about the same price as the Ace last year, £200+, but you never know, prices of such smartphones may drop in price.
I do believe they are only releasing this phone as part of marketing. Most of teh market only know that this is an upgrade of the Ace, and not pretty much exactly th same as the Galaxy S, which very few people buy nowadays because Samsung simply don't market a 2 year old device.

Again, which is what the GS has, whether it'd be produced by Qualcomm or Samsung themselves, we do not know, but most likely Qualcomm.
Also, if it has similar specs to the GS, don't expect an ICS upgrade either.
yup and ace plus won't have much of dev support soon where S has lods of support from various points..
any day SGS...but if hardware same then we can just resize somethings and get all things working on ace +
Lmfao

To be fair unless you move to hdmi why upgrade. Galaxy s, defy, zte blade2 and many others have better screens and are in the same price range. My defy cost me £100 witch is far less than an ace. And its got twice the power, maybe not on paper. But try a arm7 device and you'll see. Can't wait for a galaxy s2 tomorrow, dual core goodness!

uhm, yeah, Samsung is open to external development, and sent 5 galaxy S phones to Cyanogen to make the mods for the phone, it is just their focus is their high-end products but I dont have anything to say about their support on boght phones.
Who dafuq is president of samsung? Why can't he be more open minded sheesh. And anyway, I think coolya did not want to do it since he said it would really be a pain porting it especially camera, like maclaw's team right now
If I remember correctly, then it was Samsung who sent new Galaxy S models to the developers of CM in order to speed up the process of releasing CM to it. And it was Samsung who hired the head developer of CM. Plus when you compare it to HTC for example, then modding and flashing custom ROMs on a Sammy is much much easier.

I spent 5 hours on trying to root a u8800 and failed (2.2 was easy but 2.3.5 latest was impossible to me, tried all the root tools and even manually but zergrush would not apply). Rooting a samsung takes what... 5 minutes if you're lazy (gingerbread). Even motorola xoom takes 10 minutes from stock HC to fully functional custom ICS.

Off-topic: If it was so easy for you, then you might as well point me to a decent rooting guide for the SGA S5830, because I've tried a couple of rooting guides and none of them worked for me.

They know how to attract more consumers. Samsung is sooo bloody over-confident after the success of Galaxy S series that it is ignoring the mid and low range devices. I hate samsung

Sony Ericsson Supports ROM Modding like CyanogenMod! So CM is actually supported by the manufacturer (Sony Ericsson)

Samsung does to an extent also. They sent a bunch of Galaxy S2 handsets to Cyanagenmod team before launch so a working version could be ready.
EDIT - Sorry parkentosh just seen you wrote the same before me!! lol

>poor UI
>less customization (compare to sony and sense)
Does the samsung galaxy S have 2 cores or just one ?, what about ram, screen quality and gpu.Oh and hows the developing on S.
Don't trade! Galaxy S has ****ty old low screen, 1ghz single core old architecture processor, also bad music playback, same ram size as xperia u but still the ram of the xperia u is far better, old low gpu also, the development was huge for the Samsung galaxy s before but by now it isn't going to keep that status

If you're talking about Galaxy S Advance, then yes, it has a bigger AMOLED screen, MicroSD card support and Android 4.1.
If you're talking about Galaxy S, then no.
Well, you could either buy the Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy Ace 2 or the Galaxy S III Mini.
I personally would either pick the cheapest option (the Ace 2) or the S III Mini.
Its the advance S. But i dont know i have to know how much difference in cash do i have to put over my xperia u.Of course i cant just trade it off without giving the guy some extra money, will post here when i get to know.Thanks for your opinions.
I should say yes. from what i see here: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4437&idPhone2=4469:good:
S advance is better

I have used one for a day and its faster on stock rom, better n bigger screen wid memory card support

Wait for one month, u will get at same price. More important thing is that u will not get much support /dev like galaxy R.

Isn't a Sony's build quality much better than Samsung's?
Specs can always be better, but at the end of the day the build quality, screen and camera matter than the 'latest' OS.
Also Sony's stock rom is way better than Samsung. My sister has a galaxy s2 and she's not into rooting and stuff, she hates her phone...
That's my 2 cents

I can exchange my xu wid s2 anytime even today
Stock rom of sony LOOKS better no doubt
Build quality is more affected by price range rather than being company specific
You like ROMS? Galaxy is better for ROMS but my Xperia U
