they both have the same price and both are pretty similar. i am wondering which phone can run games better? and how does 256k colors impact picture quality? because x8 xperia has 16mil colors.
well, in terms of games, the X8 has a 1200 mAh battery while the LGOO has 1500 mAh's. thats going to give you some more battery time to play games. and as an owner of the LGOO, i can say that games look fine. even if the X8 has more colors, I dont think you'll see much of a difference if the games arent made to take advantage of the higher color range.
another thing is the X8 uses a skinned version of android while the LGOO has a pretty stock version of 2.2 with most of the original features. if you like time scape, then cool, but i personally dont like it at all.

What drew me to the OO as opposed to the X8 was the amount of RAM: 512MB on the OO vs. 168MB on the X8 and of course Android 2.2 versus 1.6 on the X8.
I've tested phones with higher color screens, but I haven't noticed any real-life difference due to the 256k color limit, neither during gameplay nor during movie/photo viewing.
In the end, they're both budget Android phones so (advanced) gaming simply isn't their forté, but I reckon the OO will do a better job under most circumstances.
thx for replies. just found that OO has some bug where cpu load goes up to 100% when you touch the screen, i wonder will it be fixed or the phone is made to work this way
The problem of CPU load when touch the screen happens with another devices to.
My brother have a Motorola Milestone and the same happens running Android 2.1.
choose LGOO
had the same dilemma last week
I went with optimus
because :
a.)FROYO vs 1.6 in x8 -(2.1 is the latest I heard from SE but still, check web between the difference of 2.1 and 2.2 it's HUGE.
b.)The built is much better for me, more solid, a bit heavier, but it's bec of the more powerful battery(believe me you'll need battery!!!!)
pocket legend works fine on optimus one
os: android 2.2 vs android 1.6
ram: 512mb vs 168mb
battery: 1500mah vs 1200mah
display: 3.2'' vs 3.0''
OO wins
you cant possibly see any difference between 16m color screen and 256k, theyre just nubers to raise the price
the human eye can recognise up to 70k colors as ive heard anyway... so both are above your capabilities ,unless ur some super-eye man
Used X8 for couple of weeks and then got Optimus One and Optimus One is much nicer to use. Its faster and Android 2.2 makes everything smoother to run
OO is better
Of course the OO is better in every range, but I think They're not the same price.
Here in Hungary the OO is almost two times expensive than the X8. It is because service providers haven't sold the OO yet
What about buy this phone form another country? eBay for ex? Or you have bad feel about warranty?

Sadly, it's total bull.
I've seen the (awesome) live background Artemia on better screens (with more colors) and it looks definitely better, less banding and less visible dithering (the colors flow into one another more naturally).
I think Artemia is a quite good way to show off why the OO's screen isn't really good.
Still, I'd vote for this phone. I love how it never runs out of memory (as opposed to the Samsung Galaxy). Plus, it's cheapish

Does the optimus one really have 512 megs of ram?
Why would those useless at LG only put 256 megs of ram into the LG Optimus T (the t-mobile version of the optimus one, identical, except I guess the ram). I have two LG Optimus T phones on the way from ebay (they work with Wind Mobile in Canada) and i'm that the Optimus one has more ram than it does.
T has 512 bro

Ah ya, gsmarena doesn't have the specs listed, and really no where seems to have the ram specs listed for the Optimus T, only the Optimus one.
First of all,i am sorry if i messed up the subforum,but i'm in a rush so i have to ask. Which one would you preffer and why? I know that XU has dualcore and its an 2012 phone,but DHD has much more storage,x2 of the ram that XU has,bigger screen..
Suggestions?
NOTE: Gaming doesnt matter,im not a huge fan of it.
DHD.Already has bugfree android 4.2, does not lag at all, and excels in the music bit with Cyanogen.It's loud and has good quality.Not to mention you have 400MB ram free at boot, and 690 total.Meanwhile the XU has just 360MB or so, and that's not enough even on stock.The screen quality is superb, and so is the camera.

btw if you have enough funding, get some nexus device (as much as I like my dx, I had to say that)
I can tell you that I am very happy with my Desire X, when running on a custom rom it is incredibly fast, especially for this price.

exactly, best price/performance ratio I have ever seen in smartphone area, but still, it isnt flagship, never was intended to be, never will be. If you want good phone for good price, go for it, I can only recomend. If you want really high-end phone, or just bigger screen, there are other options, but not DX.
if you have a low budget then buy this phone... its not that big and super fast for games and others...
if you can afford a more expensive phone then buy something better
but just to know that devs started working a lot on this phone and it will become a lot faster
Am looking phone for gaming without lags
which is best for tat?
not much costlier
I would say go for Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini . It's got 1GB RAM , more internal storage and a better graphic chipset .
It's just a little more expensive .
One of my friends has it and it just feels alot more polished and smooth . The extra-RAM are no big deal though . I can play NOVA 3 on my DX and still have about 100mb+ free RAM , but on S3M it lags less . I guess the graphic chipset helps alot .

Nope do some tests before you say that. In windows when the ram is full or already used or the program needs more the program crashes then you have to close/exit it manually. In android the system closes apps automatically to free up more ram for the app that you are currently using. More free ram= less lag. Ever wonder why there are so many scripts for ram/memory managment if free ram is useless. Anyway no use convincing you. Hehe just sharing what i understand. Cheers

desire x is a good device dont bother looking for galaxy s3 mini its not released nor will it release in india.The nexus 4 if released at the US price point is an excellent buy else if from what i have heard @500$ seems kindof pricey.
Look at LAVA XOLO Q800,Micromax Canvas HD, Spice Titanium s1 ,and all the other local brands if you aren't so hung up about custom roms(I for one am).
If you are willing to wait for say a month or so there is Xperia L(Available for preorder) ,Optimus L9 And ofcourse there is Galaxy Grand.
EDIT: #zen-mode-ON
the desire X is the true choice of Needs and Wants it is actually everything that you need(yes gaming is also very good eg Dead Trigger). But then what exactly you want a 10 inch screen 16 core processor 1TB ram the demands are endless so you have gotta make a choice a balance between needs and wants.

I am not saying that every last piece of ram is used by cache, after phone reboot, you have plenty of free ram, until you start acctualy use apps and fill cache a bit, but linux is working with ram not unlike windows, you said that yourself. I never said memory management is useless, ofc it is usefull, a lot, my point was that claiming "I can play NOVA 3 on my DX and still have about 100mb+ free RAM" has same value as "I had pancakes yesterday" ... I could have, while playing nova 3 much more free ram if I am after phone reboot (and plenty of other ways), I can have less free ram if I used plenty of apps before, it still wont change quality of gameplay, smoothness or anything (unless you really try to make it laggy with anything you have got, which is possible ofc).
quick edit: I am multitasker, I have never met any lag apart from starting apps and other "regular ones" android is handling this pretty good

ok got your point.i have a different experience so maybe we have different opinions. no point in debating. cheers
to the ts. i really dont like the cpu and gpu combo in the dx.. gpu not that good.. if it had a better gpu maybe i would buy this. go find a device with a good gpu from mid to high. this is just low end gpu. adreno 203 < sgx 531 based on my experience and benchmarks. so better find a cellphone with a good gpu that how i choose a new phone though.

I didn't mean that having more free RAM is a bonus , I just wanted to point out that RAM is not something to take into consideration when gaming . Speciffically , that it's got more than enough for any high-end game . Having enough or more than enough are both better than NOT having enough at all .
Indeed I am a lot more familiar with Windows' way of dealing with RAM , however I've seen how Linux works as well , and even though you are right in saying that using more RAM grants you better multitasking , the way Android handles the RAM on the DX is far from perfect . From my experience , Samsung devices manage RAM A LOT better than any other brand I've tried so far (at least on low / middle end devices) . HTC doesn't do a bad job , but it's not to be praised either , at least not on the DX . Then again , look at an LG's RAM management and you'll most likely start crying xD !
Hello XDA,
I really don't know what to choose. Just the other day I bought the I9300 Sapphire Black but then I realised I could get the I9305 for only 65 USD more. To get the I9305 I'd have to mail back the I9300 and then get the I9305 sent to me.
I am planning on rooting my phone and find a nice ROM that suits me. Having looked shortly over the ROM lists for both devices it seems I can find one that fits me on both devices. Is this extra price worth it? I do not really care that much for 4G (I don't even have a plan that supports it yet), but I kind of dig the 2 GB ram.
Now my question is, is it worth getting the I9305 for 65 USD more?
I9300
- I currently have this one at home (Seal unbroken)
- only 1 GB ram
- Huge dev. support
I9305
- 2 GB ram
- 4G/LTE
- Less dev. support
- More battery drain (?)
- 65 USD more
I just don't know what to choose... I don't think I'll need the 1 GB ram as of right now, but I'm just thinking what about the future? I remember from my old Desire Z that I couldn't really get ICS because of only 512 MB ram. Could I possibly run into this problem in the next 2 years with 1 GB ram? (I already see new phones coming out with 2 GB ram).
I have been searching all night trying to get an answer for this question... I don't know what I should do :crying:

*sigh* Once again, because the S4 is almost double the price of the S3. As I wrote in OP I ran into ram limitations on my old phone (512 mb ram). While the phone itself could run ICS (I am now talking about my old phone), it was short on ram... I am just worried that I might run into these kind of problems soon again with 1 GB... I don't know if that's stupid to think.

Ok so, as the title implies I'm thinking of getting an Xperia Sola on the cheapside (135€) almost brand new. However I do have a few questions:
1. Would you say the phone is worth the price?
2. Do you think it is a good phone?
3. I mostly use my phone for multitasking and gaming sometimes, so does it fit the bill? The 512RAM thing scares me, my Galaxy W said it had 512MB but it had like, 378MB.
4. How is custom rom development for the phone?
Cheers and thanks in advance
1. It's definitely worth its price, even when there is few cons.
2. More Yes than No, It has interesting design, a technology wich is available only for this phone only, called floating touch needs to be improved tho, but It's quite usable in browser. Built quality is not the best, could be better... after a while u will notice some squeaks and other noises it is fixable.
3. That's because there is usable RAM and non usable, can t really explain where the unusable goes, It has to function somewhere else in phone...available RAM is 368. It's enough if u stick with GB android version on ICS takes allmost 90% when no apps are working. Don t recommend to buy one if u are willing to update it to ICS... it would be a huge disaster!
4. I have seen some of the costum versions, for gaming as well, haven't tried yet, i am sticking with the stock one, for battery saving.

You can update to ics, its working flawlessly and even better im on jellybean for last month without hiccups. Nice phone good price...overall im satisfied.

Its a decent phone and a real awesome one if u r planning for all those mods!! It Lacks a bit of RAM though! You See Actually all the series of P,S and U start going into a sort of lag after a few days before u have to do the cleaning
