Xperia J and V now? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

How many phones have Sony announced this year?
Seems at least 10 different models based on the same line up.
Is this excessive or not?
I don't see the point releasing that many phones when they are all very similar in specs and design.

Not only those two but the T as well which is their new flagship device.

All of these handsets are aimed at a different user/audience. The V is quite a nice introduction because it has 4G capability, it seems pretty similar to the S just with 4G and other features added but only being released in the US. Whilst the J is the affordable smartphone option.
This is something you should expect from a manufacturer, and hope to see continued (constantly improving/releasing devices).
On a business side of things, the more products you produce the better. Again it's to be expected. So no i don't think it's excessive i just think it's more selfish, i would like to see them concentrating more on support for their current flagship device(s) rather than maximizing profits/gaining larger audiences. If they were to concentrate their efforts on improving and maintaining current devices there wouldn't be a need for so many devices, and perhaps when they release something new it will include all of the features the entire line has rather than releasing individual devices with new features and be a device with all the improvements and current firmwares/software's applicable.

May be the new flagship, but it's not exactly a vast improvement on the S.

Damn right... Is has nothing better. Same specs, worse deaign ( IMO) and 13 megapixel camera instead of 12...?
I think they are definitely excessive.

The T and V use S4 chip. So it much improved than the current one.

They are only doing this to increase their Sony branded phones lineup....
They are not bringing any thing new to the floor... The same specification ... Just trying to increase in population... Why aren't they going quad-core ??

Because a dual-core Krait is equal/more powerful than actual quad-cores (Tegra3 and Exynos-Quad), and that is better because no all the apps uses 4 cores or 2.
Xperia T should be twice as fast than Xperia S in pure processing power. In games... 50% more on the lowest case.

Why not a quad core Krait?

Xperia T is almost the same thing as the S,just slightly different (s4 vs s3,hdmi port vs no port)

Add in better battery live, higher ppi due to smaller screen. Miniapps, On screen button, 13mp camera and ability to throw it into the water.use it underwater and such
How is this worst than HOX and GS3

Xpevia V is the greatest phone, but it will have only 3,7 Gb of flash memory available

I think because Sony can compete with this dual core krait against S3 and One X without problems. And then, when quad core smartphones will the standard, they can earn money without much effort.

Pure processing power doesn't mean switching between each homescreen or app list twice as fast dude. Thinking better on that, could be 1.5x not twice, but yes, is a huge advantage in hardware.
Its like when Intel released the first core i7 vs core2quad.

Accordingly it won't be coming to the UK. I did however only read the article when it was released, amendments or further articles may have been produced since then my apologies

Because we often get the urge to throw our phones into water, right? Better yet, because our jobs and offices and such are all under-water right? :silly:
Better battery life has not been confirmed, it's not particularly hard to introduce an extended battery either.
Onscreen buttons are achieved easily by a mod in these forums.

Well, it matters if u are a biker and ur city happen to be located inside a rainforest.
For the button,U could mod it.but it just plain silly to have duplication of button on top of one another doing similar thing.
I'm saying better battery life simply as dual core and smaller screen won't be as resources hungry as quadcore megascreen.
The point is this phone is as fast as the other flagship, but with better camera and could be thrown in the pool for fun sake. And it pocketable too 4.3" screen with onscreen button would be as big as current 4" screen.
This probably appeal to the I don't want a phablet but I want a powerful spec crowd. Last I check there's isn't any competitor in this category yet.
Unless one got the new iphone,which may rocking a 4" screen, so would be about the same size as this phone.

Not only that, the quad core S4s aren't even in production yet.
LG will be the first company with the quad core S4s later on.
