Hi guys I'm planning on leaving my little wildfire and get a xperia U but i would like to find out two things:
1.Are the following games/apps compatible with xperia u?
Temple Run
Modern Combat 3
Fifa 12
Brothers in arms 2
Skype
Instagram
2. Would you recommend xperia u to me or shall i go for another phone(if so please specify)
Thank you so much for taking your time reading this!
Yes ... All of them are compatible..
Pros -
1. High resolution ( 280 ppi ) so no pixelation
2. Powerful dual core 1 GHz and Mali 400 MP Gpu
3. Bravia engine
Cons.
1.no sd card support.. You are stuck with 4 GB
2. Poor speakers .. Audiophiles will have a let down..
3. Less RAM 350 MB EFFECTIVE..
4. Uninspiring design..
A better catch would be Sony live with walkman with extremely incredible sound .. Thanks to dual speakers and xloud... Specs are same as xperia u except for cores, screen and resolution... But plus point .. It had sd card support...
Others phone to consider are Huawei g300 and Motorola defy +..

I have WT19i and I would not buy it again.
Why: bad screen (blur effect) makes games look ugly
low resolution (some of best games not working)
you need few times to put headphones in to get them recognized
really laggy ICS update,you cant play anything on it!!!
If you dont need more than 4 gb storage go for U,if you need SD Card go for Sola with is 50 Euro more expensive any little more ugly.
Anyway its your choice.
EDIT: Xperia U does not have 350 mb of ram but 512 and will also get 3.0 kernel with ICS update.
EDIT2: All games you said works for me.
EDIT3: Apps works to.
Relax bro .. I'm not compelling him to buy walkman... Ha ha.. Yep you're right .. Sometimes low res. Seems frustrating .. But I haven't experienced major lags so far .. Also speaker quality is awesome .. You agree with me right ? Hmmm...
I know u has 512 MB RAM , but system apps also take some bites.. So we get ~ 350 MB EFFECTIVE.... Btw thanks for your reply ...

Yes speakers are awsome but sound output are not,when I connect it to speaker my Ipod 2g gives better and louder sound than WT19i.
EDIT: Tested new update for WT19i it looks they improved performance and removed most lags but its still not as smooth as it should be.

Yeah but thats just becouse the u is smaller. I thinkt hvga is even enough for 4 inch so thats just fine. Sola resolution is very good.

Where have you downloaded it from..
In play store it says Your device is not compatible.
Instangram works. Tested. Downloaded from Google Play in Spain.

Play Store said NOVA 3 wasn't compatible with my Xperia U until I updated my ST25a (6.0.B.1.564) through flashtool with the 6.0.B.3.184 ST25i firmware (which made it a ST25i for Play Store) so both the update and the "re-branding" could be the reason I have access to apps i didn't have before.
all those apps work, including nova 3 and most hd games. skype works fine with video calling. love my xperia U. go for it.
DO NOT buy htc one V. nice phone, but cant play hd games, and lags alot after a few days... plus headphones quality on xperia U is great, and with mods amazing! also, dual core and mali400 gpu is a HUGE advantage, and with scripts u have effective arround 6gb of space to use.
and 300+ ram is good enough. as long as ur phone dosnt lag and u can play hd games, whats the difference?
They all work great without any lags on xperia u...and no matter what..don't go for htc one v as you get many more features in xperia u at the same rate!!

ive seen post that xperia U can copy the JB of xperia P if it became available, does that mean that xperia U can get xperia P's white magic(or something like that dont know the exact name)? or can it run on xperia U without having a problem on xperia U's illuminating bar? thank you very much in advance.

Ha, sry, it's for XP U, my mistake...
It can't get whitemagic because it's basically a hardware feature - XP has an LCD RGBW screen (additional white subpixel).

yes whaitemagic is sony's "IPS" screen, its nearly the same thing just the name is whitemagic for marketing
hmm im just thinking that if sony doesnt really provide JB to xperia U, is it possible to make the JB of go and P to xperia U and make it looks like it is an official JB for xperia U? i really like the UI of sony, it is unique for me compared to other android device.

I don't think JB would be good for device with 512 Ram. ICS itself overweight for 512 Ram.

Nope its not
There are alot of devices wid 512mb ram being updated to or will be updated to jelly bean
I agree JB can be ported to device with 512 Ram. But the available Ram for user would be less and android keep killing the process when memory goes below the kill bit level. I am facing this issue in Ics every time i browse using stock browser or Ucs.

Hello Guys,
I am planning to buy a xperia. My choices are xperia p & Xperia sola.
P is with 1 GB of RAM while SOLA with 512 MB...
other specifications difference is useless for me like..
screen size, front camera, hdmi port, better camera, no sdcard support in P, unofficial jellybean for sola ...and many more..
But I have questions that...
512 mb RAM is capable of running custom Android 4.2 smooth or not ?
Also , will 512 mb ram be enough to handle Android 5.0 which is comming soon.
Note: I am asking these questions because I am a multitasking addictive.
Go for Xperia P, you will not have any problem with 1gb of ram.
BTW, 512mb are enough to run everything smoothly without sony's shi**y bloatware.

Bro - first Sola wont get official JB from Sony if you dont know, P will get it.
Second if there is unofficial JB for Sola it will be 4.1, Sola will never get 5.0 imo.
P is the better one.
If i were you i would get Nexus 4.
Please man be smarter and think before you ask

Definitely SXP...if u got the money!
1gb ram is quite useful...future is safe!
you'll atleast be gettng official JB!
I gotta SXU...and i think 512mb ram is enough but its definitely better to go for a device having 1gb ram!
Smoothness is definitely there even with devices having 512 mb ram...but if u particularly hate occasional redraws...then blindly buy SXP! And multitasking is also better in case on XP!
Buy wisely!
Cheers!
Buy the Xperia P or the Xperia S... These will get the future official or unofficial updates... Xperia s has more big dev community.....we don't know anything about Nova Thor....if ST Ericsson releases sources then future unofficial updates can be possible for this community...

Hi,
I want to buy xperia p and I want to know does sony plans to update it to 4.2?or like arc s sony will leave it with 4.1?
sony never updated the arc s to 4.1
Don't even dream about that,XS maybe,but XP never.With all the large number of phones that Sony release every year the 'old' phones are forgotten easily.

I had an Xperia Ray (same gpu/cpu amount of ram as your arc s) OCed to 1,8 GHZ and now I have a Sola (same gpu/cpu as xperia p) and I have to say that Ray was way better. I don't think that you should ever buy a novathor device. Go for HTC one S or galaxy S2 in my opinion. Or Xperia l.
Even if Sony wanted to bring 4.2 to P, it cannot as ST-Erricsson is about to die & they are most probably not gonna develop sources for 4.2

Xperia P is a lovely phone,with great performace,the only bad thing is the lack of support by Sony and devs.I had an Lumia 800 and Galaxy S2 before and my actual XP is way better on matter of performace and very beautiful phone.

The JB Rom really great and fast in Xperia P...
I also tried it on my sola which was ported by Munjeni...
Fast than ICS Rom,but with some bugs because that was ported from Xperia P & go...
You can go for Xperia P
Or Xperia L,good also.
Just Screen resolution lower (480x854)
Xperia P 960x540
So Xperia L can't watch Full HD Videos and also can't capture full HD videos.
Others Xperia L won Xperia P...

So is there any chance to sony update a 4.1 lag free even?

You can enable clear audio+ for better music or Xloud for calls. I got Xperia P JB and it is much better than ICS, sound and everything is smoother. I love new stamina mode on battery in which you can choose which applications should work even in stamina mode (like skype, what´s app or viber).
The v4a app is by far the best sound mod ever and I've used all. Plus it's a app

If it works well enough or lagg free enough I'll report back asap.
Don't expect much but any 3D that works well on low end devices is appreciated xD
