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..."

Front facing camera (who know we can try face unlock on ICS soon?)

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

Although service centres r irritating ones nd ppl der r dumb, bt xperia phones have caliber of dng everything a smartphone can do, example take galaxy s2 it has much better processor then neo v but its stl on ics that also 4.0.3. I guess it was a high end phone. samsung updates only its new flagships asap by d tym u buy note 2 , note 3 will b in market or s4.. Then ur note 2 will stay on jb no longer updates if dey come they ll come rarely. Nd ace plus same processor like neo v and samsung promises jb for it. I wonder hw it ll support jb..

Okk...if you guys say so...i will think about it.
Actually the thing is...updates to a newer android version don't matter if your hardware can't handle it good...what matters is the current firmware should be so refined to exploit the phone's resources at its best...what's the point of adding new features when the basic functionality is suffering.
In our case...our device lacks ram and is single cored...let's put aside the core thing...it simply struggles for ram in ICS and JB. And whatever hardwork teams like cyanogenmod may put into it...they can't provide full functionality that OEM provides...so in my opinion...maintainance updates are much significant...as they bring to you a better phone...not just a new interface with crippled functionality.
You may add various tweaks and improve the firmware to your liking...but the overall experience will not be as the OEM intended to be.
The precis is...even if a manufacturer doesn't update to the latest android version...it provides maintainance updates which are crucial...and samsung does it...and besides the updates...its phones are already loaded with functionality...and a phone with quad-core cpu and 2gb ram is more than sufficient unless one intends to carry a PC in his pocket...which is always thethered to the power outlet.
And the complains about exynos...they have been acknowledged by samsung.
And those who say Sony has ditched 2011 devices...sony has already supported us for long to the extent our devices can handle...it gave us ICS despite the limited resources our device has. And being a global company...it too has to survive. It has to concentrate on the competition. Accusing it of abandoning us is totally unfair. There was no lifetime commitment sony had signed with you...you bought the device and sony supported it as long as the device needed it.
Dont think of me as an advocate for sony...i am simply pointing to the fact that whatever firmware is on the phone...it should be perfect in utilizing phone's resources...not a burden on the phone's head.
Pheeewwwww..........sorry...too long a debate.
These are only my views...those who differ in opinion...simply ignore.

Thanks mate...i have already read your thread...and before that i have tried swap on system of about 150mb...multitasking becomes awsome but whatever media you use for swap...be it SDcard/nand...its life degrades eventually.
And i am not that well off to replace my card every 4months...and not to mention the terrible performance hit when the trade over takes place.
Thats why zram is better.
And i think any ram size below 1gb is inadequate for android 4+.
We have cast away from the thread's topic...my apologies guys...continue the original topic.

I am using Xperia Sola for 3 months. I wanna exchange it with some other smart phone in same range. Should I go for Xperia go? or something else? Which one is better amoong go and sola?
Sola has better display than xgo ( 480x854 sola, 320x480 for xgo), apart this they are the same. Buy a Galaxy Nexus or a Galaxy S II if you want something better
Well if still want a sony device try go,atleast itll be updated to JB

In my opinion, Sola is great phone (I'm Sola owner, for now), but the problem is the RAM , only 512mb ~ 100 to use !!
I'm willing to exchange it with P ,as it has 1GB Ram, Larger screen, second camera, 8mp camera, JB SW is on the way,,
So yes, go for Xperia P
I would choose the Xperia Z, it is a great phone, probably the best phone available right now.
Then, if he do not want a Sony phone do no ask in a Sony forum, look for the galaxy forums.
you may always want to look for phones made of qualcomm chipsets rather than novathor, mediatek etc. we are struggling to have the latest OS coz there are no sources for novathor.
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

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.

Now another question, have any of you used LG L7? how does it compare to Xperia J?

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.

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?)

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)

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...

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

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

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...
