I've been observing a lot about xperia u and sola,since the last few weeks I've been watching videos regarding benchmarks of both.
My doubt is xperia Sola is given Mali400 but xperia U is provided with mali400MP ,I've seen in few blogs that mali400MP can perform better compared to mali400 of x Sola,as a gamer can I prefer x Sola over xU interms of performance?
And is GpU in x Sola overclockable?
3 rd is which is better Mali400MP(U) or Mali400(Sola)?
As the abv doubt is cleared
My second doubt is
Is THE MALI400 IN Xperia U/Sola OVERCLOCKABLE????
Both have ABSOLUTELY same gpu
Buy sola as it has expandable memory which is helpful for a gamer

buy sola if u r a gamer... and both are using same gpu i.e. Mali400... if u want Mali400MP go for xperia P... but it does not have expandable memory slot.. limited 16gb.. i think that is more than enough for gaming.. xperia sola is for Rs19000 and xperia P is for Rs22500... if u can spend few bucks more go for P... ^_^
I agree with previous posts but to elaborate on storage, the 8gb on the U gives you access to only 4gb of that and the 16gb on the P gives you access to apparently 13gb but i only got like 11gb

sola/u cannot record or play 1080p while P can... because sola/u have single core mali400 and p have mali400mp...

Isnt the 1080p also to do with camera quality, most 5mp only do up to 720p whereas 1080p is standard for 8mp cams nowadays
thnx a lot!! for ur reply
The only reason I'm asking u is bcoz
In Gsm arena they have stated that "x U has Mali400MP" while "x Sola has Mali400"(only) I've seen sumwhere on fB stating that mali200*2=mali400
Where Mali400MP is a single core true mali400
The l2 cache's differ according to reasons abv
Coz
Mali400MP will have L2 256Kb (single core)
While Mali400(200+200) might be lower than that!
Also can mali400 in X U/Sola be Overclocked????
I'm giving my first priority to s advance!
Coz I've seen it has better hardware (dull looks though )
If xperia P gets under 20K I will surely get one By Jan!
Coz even the online stores state that it is 22~23K

Offcourse adreno220 beats mali400 in nena2 test by 10Fps
Also adreno225 is said to b 2x better in performance compared to adreno220
Which means HTC one s beats xperia p by 3~4x in graphics performance!!
Xperia U and sola have almost same specification. If you hardcore gamer, go to sola because it has sdcard slot.
BUT, go to Xperia U if you want more Custom ROMs.

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.

well first thanks for ur reply and thats true ray is a little bit expensive than xperia U
and little bit cheaper than sola and sola have strong dual core processor like U against single core processor of ray and arc but ray has better ppi 295 against 280 for U and better camera 8.1 MP ,, i am confused !

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.

Front cam
Exmor R 8.1 mp
Sola and U have dual core processors but so less battery
but if you dont care bout batttery life then get sola because it has micro sd card and nfc,, and 3.7 inch screen

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

The ray has the best camera . The ARC S has a big screen and its faster than ray but its camera is not that good(Ray has the best camera in colours every made in the phone history). If you U and sola are also good but they dont have MicroSD slot so the choice is yours

Dunno about your country, but here in Russia you can get an Xperia P for the same price as One V. Maybe you should go for it.

I would say it depends on the loss you´ll accept when selling.
Only downside on the U is the lack of micro sd - at least for me.
and I like the design of the neo over competitors in this range
If you don't wish to be Sony, be Ericsson then
Seriously, new phones from Sony are pointless but only if you wish to, get with it....

Both phones here have the same price.
I like the looks of both phones, my hands arent big. I like J big screen, im ok with 3.5 but what worries me that its 16:9 aspect ratio, wich means its longer and less wider then analog 3.5 inch screen size phones (iphone, galaxy ace).
J doesnt have such good camera as i see in reviews and only 1ghz CPU.
Despite the fact that U doesnt have mSD expansion slot, im ok with that, if i need more gbs i might just use OTG cable with usb stick.
So what is your suggestion?
maybe some of you already had expierience with both phones?
how is performance of both phones compared to each other? video playback? dvix video playback (with decoders installed)?
Go for Xperia j. At least the chip set has sufficient sources for devs to port the latest os. Users like me who are using Xperia p/u/go/sola are struggling to get a working jellybean from coz of poor support from the chipset maker St Ericsson. So if u care about having the latest os go for Xperia j but if u want a better camera and display and an extra core go for Xperia u

Check gsm arena user comments ... i've read that many users are complaining of lag after update to JB in case of xperia j.
Go for xperia j you will get official jellybean along with xloud bravia engine that won't present in custom jb roms...
Go for xperia U. Im using it and am loving it. First off its much better looking than J. The LED bar at the bottom really adds to its beauty. Also the specs of U are much better than that of J. You will have trouble running even slightly heavy applications and games on the J

altough i still do not hear strong points for xperia J.
As i see ICS from JB isnt much different, so OS isnt an issue if its not older then ICS
What about 3.5 inch screen? how does it feel comparing to iphone or ace or any other 3.5?

On Xperia U you will get dual core while Xperia J you will get latest OS. But on Xperia go you get both and extra! Waterproof and durable phone!

If you are happy with ICS then i would suggest HTC ONE V.It has more development than XU.
Get HTC desire X.. You can buy it from eBay at cheaper prices or HTC Amaze 4g old but better specs and looks and development. U can also get Xperia P for same price.

J, just for Jelly Bean, anything is way smoother.
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

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.

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

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...
