Hi guys, im thinking in buy a new phone, and ive been reading opinions between Xperia S or HTC one S. Xperia S has better screen, camera, memory... but i have the feeling that have more interface laggs and worse support from sony than htc one S. Im rlly confused, i think one S are more fluid than xperia... and i hate laggs QQ. Also xperia S has better resolution than One S, but has worse GPU, may it makes to the Xperia has lower FPS in games or browser...?
I hope u can help me with any smart comment
Thanks!
really? asking this question in an Xperia S forum?

))exactley!!!it `s kinda a stupid question!of course everyone who has Xperia S would say that Xperia S is the one that you should buy
Xperia S is a "sexy" phone! HTC design is ugly as hell!
In my opinion the Xperia S is much better than One S but it`s your phone....and you should make the decision!
Xperia S has no lag if you keep it "clean"
Of course every firmware has his bugs but,from my experience(i had Htc One S before Xperia S) xperia s is more fluid than One S and the screen of Xperia is absoluteley brilliant!
take a look here

Lags on Xperia S ? Where did you get this?
HTC One series - V, S, X get one and enjoy lags . Most laggy phones I have ever chance to play with. Even ONE X so powerfully smartphone is laggy. Must be an software issue.

This was a question i pondered for some time before buying the XS
In the end i went for the better looks, better screen and double the storage over the superior chipset of the One S. Benchmarks are great but in reality all they offer is bragging rights and don't reflect real world use. Im not even convinced dual core and quad core are of any use in a mobile.

Of course it is, what do you think project butter is all about.
unless you are big fan of sense UI.. there is just no comparison.. SXS wins hands down .. for me
I had 3 HTC's before getting the XS, don't like the design of the new HTC's (apart from the thinness) and not missing sense at all.
Well, thanks for the comments, i think ill buy xperia, i hope that will be the correct decision...

This is an amaizing phone. ( apart from the yellow tint) but I think that is not an issue anymore

For starters, Xperia S has HD resolution vs qHD on the One S.
12MP camera vs 8MP
Beats Audio on the One S may be attractive, but Sony has it's own clearbass tech and EQs.
HTC Sense vs Sony Timescape UI. Depends on personal preference.
32GB vs 16GB
The krait cores of the One S does give it a performance boost over the Xperia S, but its only noticeable when running really intensive apps or webpages.
If the One S in your region comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 MSM8260(which is the same one as the Xperia S), overclocked to 1.7Ghz, the Xperia S will be the better choice since the One S has nothing much to offer.

Why N1, Nexus S is available and better,
or Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC ( release date: April )
Nexus one is an awsome device.. I own one
But it has the same touch screen capability as X10 ---- > Dual touch
Considering the timely updates you get with nexus one... I think it is best bet.
I would recommend Nexus S
Well i bought a nexus one from google when they were available and it wasnt to long before i got rid of it for the X10 and havent regretted it yet.
Thats my thoughts.

how would you judge the two phones when it comes to the x10's 8megpix ??
xperia x10 with the all modifications.. same as Nexus S..
I wouldn't recommend nexus one because you are just exchanging for a pure Google experience product. Megapixel doesn't determine picture quality. Its all about the lens, sensor, and image processing software. Pix quality of course x10 is better than nexus one.
Go for nexus S or wait longer for dual core devices. X10 doesn't have Froyo and Nexus S's hardware doesn't perform as good as the hummingbird CPU in Nexus S.

How long have you have your X10? I wouldn't change it before "squeezing" all its potential.
My advise: keep it at least one more half of a year, and then start looking for your next phone. Now, if you can't wait and if you wish to keep in SE's line, Arc is your option, but for me, is not a great phone, I only remark the Bravia Displa, Gingerbread and the HDMI plug-in, anything else is not a big deal.
Or Nexus S.
hey guys... thanks a lottt...
ive been using the x1 only fr about a few months..
tried out most of the roms out there
guys.. but dont you think the nexus one is worth it ?? its htc after all
plus... the AMOLED.. n when it comes to updates ????
comments pls
Correct me if i am wrong, but i remember nexus one have an exact same proc with x10, which mean it's not actually an upgrade if you change your x10 into a nexus one. The only better thing is RAM. --in terms of hardware.
If I where you, I'd try and remember why you bought the X10 in the first place. I mean, the Nexus One was already available when you bought your X10, so obviously it has some qualities that made you choose it in the first place. I am guessing it was the look of the device, and the camera, right? Those are the X10's biggest distinguishing features, so I would like for another Android device that comes close to those.
As far as camera is concerned, there probably is no better Android available yet. Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S is the next best thing in this regard?
As far as looks is concerned, nothing really comes close yet, in my opinion. Although I really like the way the HTC Desire Z looks for some reason (and I don't normally like HTC designs, too boring).
But why are we even talking about these old phones? Next month it's time for the Mobile World Congress 2011, during with numerous new Android phones will be introduced and some will even be released by then, with brand new hardware like dual core processors and new versions of Android that will make our current phones look really outdated. Right now seems like a bad time to switch to another phone: I would wait for just a little while longer.

no need to get N1, its the same gen as X10
if u want the best current gen phone then get HTC Desire HD / HTC Desire Z
the dual core phones will take a bit of time (3+ months) to come to market...
The Nexus One is ugly.
Stay with the X10 until dual core phones come out.

Honestly, it doesnt even seem like a question to me. Especially with the new roms that are wiping the floor with the other current gen phones. Just sayin.

If one is a color purist like me, then the AMOLED screens are a DISADVANTAGE, actually. And it's going to stay that way until a new-gen AMOLED arrives which doesn't mess with the saturations.

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.

Or if you like me, Razr Maxx is not such a bad deal either
About Nexus Phone, i understand that there are peoples who likes pure Android experience. But it is truly for enthusiasts who are willing to add any feature by himself. For casual user though, if you already have satisfying experience with some maker's interface/functionality (Small Apps or Smart Action), the Nexus is lacking though.. But that's just my opinion..

Yeah agree, but I need a phone under 250 Euros. And by the way I'm an extreme fan of pure Android/ pure AOSP roms, but I love Sony phones and every stuff. I've got sony PlayStations, TV, media player, Radio, Hifi etc. . I would choose Galaxy nexus if it would be cheaper than 250 EUR. Any recommendations under 250.-EUR?
I've also been looking for a replacement for my Ray and I've found some interesting chinese devices ( not copies ) that look extremely good and with great prices...only bad thing is that their development section is almost inexistent...
Yo dawgs, thanks for everything, the help, good luck to all the awesome developers for Ray, glad 2 see the community growing, people helpin people, Sadly I can't take part of it anymore. bought a red Sola.

Sadly I can't keep it, it's a pain that I could never try Android 4.2, and lots of roms for Ray which I should give a try. I'm happy and I bought my Sola, waiting for amazon 2 ship it, but sadly realized that Sola has almost no development. Only rethemed roms by noobs, a miui port, and the FXP cm9 which is buggy as hell and lots of things not working. But I think Sola is great enough to use without custom roms. Sony promised JB so I ain't got no worries.
Both phones here have the same price.
I like the looks of both phones, my hands arent big. I like J big screen, im ok with 3.5 but what worries me that its 16:9 aspect ratio, wich means its longer and less wider then analog 3.5 inch screen size phones (iphone, galaxy ace).
J doesnt have such good camera as i see in reviews and only 1ghz CPU.
Despite the fact that U doesnt have mSD expansion slot, im ok with that, if i need more gbs i might just use OTG cable with usb stick.
So what is your suggestion?
maybe some of you already had expierience with both phones?
how is performance of both phones compared to each other? video playback? dvix video playback (with decoders installed)?
Go for Xperia j. At least the chip set has sufficient sources for devs to port the latest os. Users like me who are using Xperia p/u/go/sola are struggling to get a working jellybean from coz of poor support from the chipset maker St Ericsson. So if u care about having the latest os go for Xperia j but if u want a better camera and display and an extra core go for Xperia u

Go for xperia j you will get official jellybean along with xloud bravia engine that won't present in custom jb roms...
Go for xperia U. Im using it and am loving it. First off its much better looking than J. The LED bar at the bottom really adds to its beauty. Also the specs of U are much better than that of J. You will have trouble running even slightly heavy applications and games on the J

It might be ported once it gets released for Xperia P.

No. It's not enough, firstly it will fly, but after installing a bunch of apps it will start lagging bla bla bla, so go ahead and buy 1gb ram phone

i have used xperia sola for 5 moths (UL bootloader and root), imo this device is handle daily job (sms, call, whatsapp, etc) not so good. lag after you install too many program especially when someone call (need 2-3 seconds for the answer display appear), but overall (gaming, music, browsing) is good. and FYI 512 MB ram only accessible around 384 MB by the device, so don't expect it too much
If u don't care about having the latest software then its worth the buy. Because anything beyond 4.1 is uncertain.

FXP release cm9.1 rom at weekly pace, quite good dev support
But, I have lost faith in sony mobile cause my sola has random hang/reboot issue.
Still I'm not sure about the reason, maybe hadware/RAM/NAND, maybe carrier/SIM, maybe software.
It's a pretty good looking, and UI well designed, but I plan to buy a Lumia to replace it.
Just FYI.
The phone is nice.. not as bad as the above repliers. I used stock rom, eXperience v2, CM 9 based, and now Project GX v2.1. IMO The last one really stood out. I have installed many apps inlcluding Currents, Fb, Fb mssger, TOI, Pulse, Flipboard and half of them stay on my Homescreen. Still no lag. Much better roms will come out.
Otherwise there is always the HTC Desire X.
the incoming call will lag when you are playing games or surfing internet.
I faced this problem.
And i got a missed call cause the answer the call didn't show up and my phone ringing but i can't do anything... :/
others ok,this phone not bad.
if you want better go for Xperia P or Xperia L (latest)

My Sola runs daily tasks quite well. I even play heavy games like NFS MW and GTA VC.
First thing, this stock ROM is ****. The lag in Call and messaging app is because they are inefficient and bulky.
Use other ROMs, eXDialer, Junk cleaner script, and everything's going good.
I usually get 100 mb free Ram.
Ps. One thing. I always keep FB frozen when not using. In titanium backup

Alright I'll see if I can get my hands on any used phone with 1 GB RAM.
dont ever go for a phone that is not based on snapdragon SoC. Check before you buy. Dont repeat the mistake that I did. Cause none of the soc manufacturers provide support like qualcomm does. put in a few extra bucks and you wont repent later

good decision, you dont have to worry for a year or two at max, it may not get the latest software officially but it has awesome developer support.

yes, it has official 4.1.2 and now i'm running cm10.1 and it's terrific
I recommend choosing xperia s... U have dual core up to 1,9 ghz at least 8 mpixels camera(cant remember exactly) and it has more ppi I think... I would easily swap my sola for it... Even if I had to pay some money I think it is worth it...
