Hi,
I am coming from Xperia X10i, and I am planning to buy neo v, just want to know how is it "in call volume" quality, I know its specs are same are Neo and Arc except Camera and Screen, beside that, how is it in general use comparing it with X10i.
Thank you
Xahid
Finally I bought Neo V, and I really like it, the build quality is great, sound is really impressive as compared to X10i, time to play
Thanks everyone who reply
One more member in your Neo V community
If you get money at your disposal then buy the Arc or Arc S
~Amazing Phones
Or else buy the Neo as it has a 8Mp camera and a sensor that the Neo V lacks
Thanks for the reply, but doesn't help !
The in call volume is pretty decent on my Neo V
On comparing the Neo V to X10
The Neo V is a win win
512Mb ram as to 320Mb of X10
HD video recording
Although the screen size of X10 is larger
Now, Thanks for the Answer.
Cheers
I don't have anything to really compare it too since it's my first smartphone (by the new definition of smartphone) but the Neo's reception and call clarity are great.
I'd get an original Arc, it's only €50 more expensive than the Neo, and it's thinner and it has a bigger screen. Or wait till January, maybe they will present a successor,
I only had the X10i for a few weeks before it bricked, but IMO the only downside of the neo is that it has a smaller screen. However, it is much easier to grip than the X10i even with a large hand.
The Arc/Arc S is thinner, but you lose the front camera and the face has a tendency to develop cracks. Of course, the neo V has a smaller camera, but it shouldn't be too bad at taking pictures.
hello! my friend bought xperia arc yesterday and i just updated it now to the latest firmware (2.3.4) and yes it does have sweep panorama function now.
I'm not really impressed with the form of the xperia arc, yes it has a big screen, but i'm having trouble holding the phone it's too big for me and it's not the type of phone that you can comfortably put inside your pocket.
I am also planning to buy xperia neo but with neo v around, it is so confusing.
One thing is for sure neo v is cheaper. But i like the red color of neo! SDCard is not an issue to me.
My only question is:
Does 3 mega pixels really make a difference?
.... sorry to hi-jack the thread! peace!

Try and make a photo with tour friends phone, and look for someone with a 5MP camera phone and see for yourself.
SGS (5MP) vs. SGSII (8MP)
here they compare the Arc's (similar) camera to the HTC Desire Z
It's not just the MP difference. The neo has a Exmor R sensor, which allows for better low-light shots.
The Neo V is just Sony's way of making more people buy their flag ship model (The Arc/S) they screwed up when they released the Neo because it was soooo close to the Arc in Specs with the advantage of the front camera many people decided to buy the cheaper Neo instead for that extra feature alone.. the quick fix was to release a new Arc (the S with a slightly more powerful processor) and the Neo V with a 5MP non exmor-R sensor.. SE is trying to phaze out the Neo and pretend it never existed.. in a lot of countries only the Neo V is available now.
I bought the Neo because of the size, the 8mp Exmor-R Sensor, the front camera (for skype video calling) USB OTG (Thumb drives and usb keyboards etc) and HDMI (for playing angry birds on a 42" screen with a mouse!) I wouldn't buy a Neo V (Crap camera) and I wouldn't buy an Arc or Arc S (no front camera) even the new Ray is missing HDMI.. i don't know what sony is thinking.. but the Neo was the only phone they make with everything you could need... and now it is pretty much gone, glad I got mine when I did... just hope they continue to support it

There's still the Pro as well.

But that's at least €50 more expensive, and thicker and heavier.
But it has everything you could want aside from dual core processing power. HDMI, check, 8MP Exmor R sensor, check, hardware shutter, check, hardware qwerty, check, front cam, check. It's as close as a phone currently comes to being the best of all worlds. Not having to compromise is worth the premium and slightly increased size and weight in my book.
GSMArena tested the Neo V, also it's camera.
And the Neo too. You could compare them there.
Tried 3d gaming and its ****ing awesome, games don't stutter at all, only shadowgun thd stutter just a bit, considering the gpu is running 2 displays at once +3d seems quiet amazing I wonder how the high Res tf700 will do, anyways is there no way connect HDMI while being docked, it doesn't seem to work..... I wanted to lay in my bed with the Xbox controller and play 3d, but I can't.....is there a way to make it work ?

Hi! I'm looking for advice for a bluetooth gamepad that could be coupled with a tablet as a mobile gaming platform to be connected to TVs. Simple right? Well, I'm picky. The Wii mote isn't a good controller for real games like shooters and racing sims, so its out. The Nyko Playpad seemed great at first, but it has terrible range ... anything over 10 feet from the tablet and the latency feels like its over 500ms. Years ago I played with the PS3 controllers, but at least then you had to use the Sixaxis app and it was ... not consistent enough (in that regard the Nyko controller is much better).
Does anyone know of one that is all around solid and offers the typical dual stick, 4 button gamepad, and is bluetooth?
Thanks.
I would like one as well, but was unable to find one to work on android and windows. I will say that you can hook up the classic controller to the wii mote and play like that. I did this with 2 players on my razr (when it was new) playing golden eye. It was really a pain squinting for that little screen but it worked really well with the classic controllers hooked to the wiimote.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has an iPad mini or air they would compare this to. I'm primarily wondering about speaker quality and volume, and feel in hand.
Currently have a mini 2 64 gig, but wish I could hop over fully to android as, well, iOS.
I had an ipad air 2 for about a week to compare with the sony xperia z3 tablet compact, and just going off speakers and overall build quality feel, I would have to give it to the ipad air 2. Build quality, at least in my opinion will also go to the ipad when comparing to other tablets. And although the ipad's speakers are on the side and only on one side at that (compared to the sony's front facing speakers), the ipad's are clearer and have more bass than the sony xperia z3 tablet compact. The only problem is that when you crank up the volume on the ipad air 2, you can feel the sounds reverberate through the body of the tablet, it bothers some people, it really didnt bother me.
Thats not to say that the sony's build quality is bad. It is actually one of the better feeling tablets I've tested especially considering how light and thin it is. I ended up keeping the sony because Im more used to the android ecosystem than the iOS ecosystem, I needed a tablet that was going to be able to mirror its screen to my tv and fill the entire screen (the ipad can mirror screen to tv but doesnt fill my widescreen tv, so black bars on both sides of the image), and the sony's storage expandability was also a factor.
The ipads processor was quite a bit faster than the sony's though. And while in day to day tasks like browsing the web, watching movies and such you couldnt really tell the difference, when I started pushing the tablets hard (like playing really graphic intensive games) the processing speed and graphics ability of the ipad really powered over the sony. Load up time for starting games was much faster and once game play started, the game played a lot smoother on the ipad (almost double the framerate).
Honestly, if I didnt want a tablet that could mirror its screen to my tv I would have probably kept the ipad air 2. If the air 2 was a 16:10 aspect ratio that would be something I would buy in a heartbeat.
Thanks for the reply. Makes me sad really, I REALLY want to hop all in to android (file system and emulators few), but I have yet to find an iPad beating tablet for music and gaming. Tried the nexus 9 and sent it back. To heavy for my use, much worse speakers, and got much hotter in minimal use. Tried an iPhone 6 also but I missed so many things from my moto x I didn't stick with it.
Guess I'm stuck straddling the fence for another year

Exactly how I feel. I didnt think I was buying a tablet for gaming as one of its purposes, but when I saw the types of games that are out for tablets nowadays, being able to play games lag free definitely became a factor I took into consideration. Hopefully next year will be the year that someone comes out with a tablet that REALLY beats the ipad in all aspects, because so far the ipad has most if not all android tablets beat in battery life, build quality, and processor speed
I would say jump on the Z3C tablet. I compared a friend iPad air 2, and the Xperia was substantially better in petty much every way. Better screen, waterproof, better sound, felt more responsive (despite the iPad air 2 benchmarking much better)
I couldn't spot a single area the iPad was better in real tangible ways, many areas there wasn't whole lot to choose, but there were several key areas the Xperia was obviously better.
My only personal gripe with the Z3C tablet is the lack of QI charging. Aside from that don't nailed it in every other respect, and it's early the best tablet on the market, bar none.
i owned ipad mini 2 a few months ago and sold it, replace with samsung galaxy tab s 8.4 still thinks ipad mini better than samsung tab s. but then sold and buy Z3TC, i felt that this is way better than those two.
the screen mostly, is soft and natural compare to samsung, but ipad mini screen is not bad either, both is crisp and excellent. but i think sony is a little bit more natural, and my eyes aren't tired watching it.
and the other thing is the battery Z3TC very good compare to samsung and ipad. sony is way better, the battery is excellent so far.
I used sister's Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet for 2 weeks, both of the tablets are well built, but I d say it is much better than any version of iPad mini. The main advantages are:
1. Android - for me it is much better than iOS.
2. Z3 Compact Tablet can be used as a phone, sometimes it is helpful
3. SD card usage is possible.
4. Sony's screen is much better.
As for sound quality both of the tablets are even.
I have the iPad air and Z3TC, the only things the iPad wins at is the camera and app availability for tablets. The Z3 tablet is better in every other regard.
fwiw, I have no iPad to compare the Z3TC to, but I do have a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (budget tab). The Z3TC is a much better computer than the Galaxy Tab. And the built-in speakers are noticeably better, and it has all of T-Mo's frequencies, etcetera.
But as far as pre-amp audio quality from the headphone jack - I don't know if I lost anything by unlocking my bootloader, but the Z3TC pales in comparison to the Galaxy Tab. Hell, it is even inferior to a cheap Chinese Blu Toch Book 7.0 I previously owned. This wasn't a complete surprise as gsmarena tested the Z3TC's audio quality and it rated well below the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Lite, but I didn't think the overall quality drop could possibly be more noticeable.
With head phones attached and EQs running, it sounds passable, arguably better than the Galaxy Tab because there is more volume if less clarity while your EQ is running. But I spent a day fixing up my SD card and my media database, hooked the Z3TC up in my car, wow don't know if it was distortion or interference, but even without an EQ running and even without media volume all the way up, you could hear it (my assumption is that the distortion was generally at a low frequency that most headphones & small speakers would cut off). Big difference - Galaxy Tab has much less volume while EQ'd up, but the clarity is outstanding and the bass is clean and my car stereo provides a +18db boost.
Just figured I'd share. There could be more to this equation than I am realizing, but I don't recommend the Z3TC as a music player for anyone trying to feed good speakers (or a good amp I should say) via the headphone jack. My Galaxy tab is going to be permanently mounted in my car now as a music player, although I had been planning to sell it. I will have to buy a 2nd mount for the Z3TC (which is my new phone and in-car computer).
(p.s. see here for a side by side comparison of overall sound quality via headphone jacks - iPad Mini offers up far less distortion than the Z3TC, and the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Lite outdoes both tablets, all things considered)
Hi, I was just looking to see if there were any boxes that would be worth purchasing. I'm not looking to get an Nvidia Shield as it's too expensive. Just seeing if there's a relatively cheap/inexpensive box that meets my requirements. I'm going to be using Plex as my main source of movie watching, streaming 4K HDR videos with direct stream to the TV box. I don't care if I need a custom rom to achieve it (may even prefer that). I need HD audio out (Dolby TrueHD Atmos and DTS:X) passthrough to my receiver. I won't be able to use an ethernet cable so fast 5Gz wifi speeds is a must (I have gigabit internet at home). And obviously it needs to be able to smoothly play 4K HDR movies. Are there any boxes, amlogic processor types, custom roms that would be able to meet these expectations or is an Nvidia Shield the only answer? Thanks in advance.
