which one is worth buying ? which will have/has better support from sony/unofficial dev's ?
is 2GB for apps and 4GB for user enough on the XPU ?
It totally depends on your preferences. If you store a lot of music and play HD games you'll run out of memory on the U. Performance wise IMHO the U is better than Sola. Also it has a front cam. Again personal choice i don't like the look of Sola. Make a list of what you want out of your phone and you'll be able to decide yourself

Listen a lot to music, youtube, google, facebook, whatsapp, sms, calls (duh XD), taking photos and videos sometimes...basic use.
the million $ q's is the memory.
How U is better then Sola if they have same CPU, GPU and Ram ?
p.s i play games sometimes while waiting in line or during class xD
thanks !
Xperia U has better looks front facing camera better pixel density etc
On other hand Xperia Sola has .2" bigger screen and expandable memory.
And looking by your requirements Xperia U will do good.
If you think I helped you please press thanks button .

It has total of 6gb available memory.I know it's still less but it would be enough for the requirements he have.
@Nathan It's hard to type in portrait mode.
But in landscape it's very well.
Thanks guys, going for the Sola
But Sola can't not remove Battery. Also Can't not replace battery for user.

Sorry for off topic, but you must improve more your English.
When you add the 't to the end of DO, you already said that is the negative. That means you said this: "Do not not..."

Better go to U! U is NXT Series! (Maybe get longing support from sony)
XPU has cool illumination LED bar!
Front facing camera (who know we can try face unlock on ICS soon?)
Xperia U has sharper screen than sola

Nathan if you havn't boguht it yet.
Please add some 40$ and go for Xperia P.
It has 1gb ram imo it's totally worth it.512mb ram lags in multitasking/gaming.
Plus it has 4" qhd screen.And ICS and 8mp camera.

Thanks for the suggestion but in Israel the P is way more expensive, almost 100$ more.
Besides the P had the same 1320MAh battery and with it's screen and faster processor it won't last long...

If u really want front facing camera,then go for u.But lemme tell u,4 gb is really not enough,,U cant rely on USB OTG always.So definitely Sola is the better choice,Sola gives a more manly look too.BTW P,U and sola are similar,so Sola will get all the updates which P and U get
Nathan how much does Samsung galaxy S advance cost in Isreal?
It costs the same price as Sola in India and have much better features.It has 4" super amoled screen/better processor/ram than sola.(nothing against Sola but in the same price range it has better spec than Sola.)
Plus it will get Jellybean directly.Try considering that aswell.

it costs about 60$-75$ more.
There are reviews which tell that the touch isn't very good and there is no official statement that it will get JB or ICS.
Therefore I prefer the Sola

Hello every one
well first i have to thank every one here in this site and this development section ,, i was following work here for more than a month and i can say its nothing place like XDA .
So i wish if any one can help me , i am new in android world and i am about to buy my first android cell phone and i wish if i can have any help .
I was searching for suitable phone and i found 4 phone close to each others in price and spec. some have dual core processors and other have good camera .
I cant pick one so if any one can help me plz .
this phones are
1. Xperia Ray
2. Xperia Arcs
3. Xperia U
4. Xperia Sola
if you have lot of money, i would recommend you to choose the most expensive phone
Prizes may differ but I think the Ray is more expensive than the new dual core phones?! I would go for the Sola or U, preferable the Sola, I think it looks nicer!

Depends on your needs...
1. Xperia Ray: Great screen, the size for some is a disadvantage, but not for others.
2. Xperia Arc S: It's great, I didn't got it because it was expensive. Great choice, best imo.
3. Xperia U: only 4GB, no card slot, 1320 mAh battery - no way
4. Xperia Sola: Specs look nice, but a 1320 mAh makes me avoid it.
Besides these look for the support in the XDA community, if there's not enough development for it what's the point.

If you have more capacity, then you get longer battery life.
I really like my Ray. Beautiful inside and out. And I like when someone near me always ask what type it is.
Although I have a plan to buy Google Nexus, I will not sell my ray.

No, it still depends on the component's usage. It is just like this, Xperia Sola has a dual core processor which consumes more current. With 1350 mAH in a dual core phone, I believe they will get a headache.
And dont worry about support, you know that XDA has a lot of talented developers.
Rather than to buy a "fresh phone", I prefer to buy a new "old phone" because it has many developers.
But if you just use your phone as general usage (without rooting, unlock bootloader, bla bla) so buy the Xperia Sola. It looks nice also.

XDA dont have many developers it has the best
and about battery life i know thats every user nightmare and i guess the only thing that get me angry is to see my phone die at middle of party after using it to take some pics and may listen to music
the sec thing i am a dentist and i can say dentists are artists and handicraft men ( thats a true ) so want it pretty
but i am also a tech geek and i know i will try to work on my phone ( that cost my on of my phone wich is moto k1 R.I.P. XD ) but i guess i wont work in my android for next 2 years
You will not regret buying ray
Stylish phone with the best spec than others
All of my colleagues was amazed when they see my Xray
Well, two of them also bought it

well.. if you can stretch by another 3-3.5 k.. you can get S(infibeam/buytheprice).. you can also look for coupons on the net to get more discount.. I got mine for 26.5k , but if you cant.. in the 25 k range.. there is nothing better than P in the indian market..

xperia P is a good phone bt samsung galaxy nexus or any other google powered phone is above par... P is smooth functioning and has grt display the besides the colour changing transparent slab makes it more catchy and amusing to watch..... i suggest go for it....:good::good::good::good:
As much as I love my Galaxy Nexus overall, I still can't get over how difficult one-handed operation is (mostly the fact that I can't touch all four corners of the screen without either shifting my grip or the phone in some major way). Having the newest version of Android is both a blessing and a curse too (susceptible to new bugs/issues and app incompatibilities).
Being able to get a brand-new dual-core phone for $200 is certainly tempting, too; the Sola and P don't appeal to me for a number of reasons, price included. Anyway, I'm aware of the limited storage (which is fine, especially with OTG support), and can't think of any other complaints I've read about in reviews (thickness is fine - I had a G2 before my Galaxy Nexus and never once thought it was too thick)...with that being said, anybody have any input on such a decision, or anything I should know about the U (maybe a replacement in the works already)? Doesn't necessarily have to be from a Galaxy Nexus specifically, anybody who's gone from a larger phone (comparable in specs) to the Xperia U too.
Don't move to a U from a GNexs.
Minimum you move to an Xperia P. Or get the Xperia Sola.
I believe for one handed operation a phone the size of the Xperia S is perfect!

I want a front-facing cam so Sola is out...and compared to the U, the P doesn't offer me much for that extra $100 (especially when I can just get a Nexus 4 for around that price and deal with the bigger screen) - don't need more storage, camera quality bump is nice but not required, small built-in battery sucks from what I've read, don't need HDMI out, and I've read the screen quality isn't as good.

I did had one for a week
And to b frank it was a second hand
Bt two reasons I did abondoned it
First its development support was weak coz of nvidia tegra's bad support
Secondly the displayed sucked when compared to xu ( 280ppi vs 217ppi)
Bt it had cm10 unofficial
Secondly it was more powerful
Beat the hell out of xu in every benchmark ( I used nenamark2 and quadrant)
Bt it did looked ugly

U is great for limited storage but with removable battery...P is an even better package(big screen,better camera but with a very weak battery,get it if u're ok in charging ur phone 2-3 times a day..Get a nexus 4..cheap and better compared to other powerful models..

Should have mentioned, I'm looking to replace my Galaxy Nexus, but not fully - I just bought the official extended battery and want to give it another shot, but even if, I'd still keep it for multimedia purposes and as a backup phone (my only other phone is a G2 that I don't want to end up damaged). Plus, I'd say a Galaxy Nexus with a few accessories is worth a bit more than $200 anyway =P

But I don't want a bigger screen or to be stuck to a charger like that (I have that problem enough with my Galaxy Nexus). The biggest improvement I'd be getting would be the camera, and its not worth $100 to me considering its drawbacks (and I have a decent point and shoot that's pretty compact too that I'd rather use than a smartphone for serious picture taking). Plus, I like the light bar on the U =P

Ya bud,your claims are true but partially abt dev and adam
I dont know what xperia u scores but I doubt if u can score better than this..and for dual core phone these are impressive scores
And dev for sgr has not been in downfall,it has been steadily slow...dev has been there for all along but has been slow
And adam(hes the lone dev for cm10) was angry and told he would leave dev team but he's back and after all that thing happened he went into limbo and in 3 4 days he was back with working cm10.1 and now he's totally back
And if m not wrong u doesnt even have cm10 or jb..
and yes in looks sgr cant beat u but sgr has better processor and ram and is a phone if customized properly can be like 90% equi. To sgs2
M not trying to debate,just dicussing facts and my frnd has sgs2 and he also thinks sgs2.and sgr are almost same..
hope u dont mind me saying all this,just trying to help

I dont know what xperia u scores but I doubt if u can score better than this..and for dual core phone these are impressive scores
And dev for sgr has not been in downfall,it has been steadily slow...dev has been there for all along but has been slow
And adam(hes the lone dev for cm10) was angry and told he would leave dev team but he's back and after all that thing happened he went into limbo and in 3 4 days he was back with working cm10.1 and now he's totally back
And if m not wrong u doesnt even have cm10 or jb..
and yes in looks sgr cant beat u but sgr has better processor and ram and is a phone if customized properly can be like 90% equi. To sgs2
M not trying to debate,just dicussing facts and my frnd has sgs2 and he also thinks sgs2.and sgr are almost same..
hope u dont mind me saying all this,just trying to help

Obviously buddy its jz a discussion
Thats right
Xu scores around 33 in nenamark2 and 3100 on quadrant (3300 wid v6 supercharger aggressive settings)
My bro has a galaxy r and only reason m nt exchanging it wid him
Bcoz of the display difference
Rest I do agree even 2nd hand galaxy r is costlier than a brand new xperia u
Thanks for correcting my facts
And was there any progress about getting official cm... ??
Btw xu has no jb yet bt we will get official though...

No cm is still in doubt as we flooded the cm moderator timeline on g+ and emails, so he's kinda pissed off... We'll wait till things get better

I'm thinking about buying xperia sola. I come from xperia 2011 community where 100's of ROM's are available. I want to know the dev support on this device. also info about jelly bean ( IS it available? if not, then any future possibilities?)
Jelly will not be officially available.
It might be ported once it gets released for Xperia P.
If you are okay with the JB issue, you can buy the phone. Its an excellent device. You can also consider buying Xperia P

Xperia P is a bit more expensive but I'll see if I can get my hands on a used one. Is 512 MB RAM enough with dual core processor? My single core xperia mini lags a lot with ICS and JB

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.

For me better you buy a phone that have at least 1 gb ram..i have used xsola for 5 month and my review is it cannot handle daily app like whatsapp facebook and etc smoothly....512mb ram is not enough...

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

my sugestion wait for the 2013 xperia series
go to gsmarena and c wht sony has planned for this year
I've sold my sola after 8 months of lag and got a used galaxy s2 for the same price and i'm very happy with it, think about this option
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
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...

Don't care about reviews some say it's perfect and some says don't buy it...it's upon our wish and kindly don't compare Sony to other products both have better in their category...
Xperia z has better spec and hardware and better better camera if u want to check go to XZ forum and find photos taken by XZ that photos are awesome..even though Sony updates will get soon as it released.. If it is not possible to buy go for Xperia sp..because Sony cares for their latest devices... Hope it will help you..
Sorry for poor english..
