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

That was to be expected of a single core 1 Ghz phone with an adreno 200 GPU. My 3 year old xperia x10 had the same specs and I had trouble running GB on it
R: Xperia U or Xperia J?
I suggest to avoid xperia, Sony made many phones but with poor software imho

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?

Leave Xperia U/J and get Xperia go.
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.

Now another question, have any of you used LG L7? how does it compare to Xperia J?
go for U, dont just get a phone because of jelly bean. ICS is so good enough. i have U, and my brother has J, and believe me or not his phone is so slow compare to mine.

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!

well money isnt big issue coz all 3 has almost same price
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.

Hi guys, im thinking in buy a new phone, and ive been reading opinions between Xperia S or HTC one S. Xperia S has better screen, camera, memory... but i have the feeling that have more interface laggs and worse support from sony than htc one S. Im rlly confused, i think one S are more fluid than xperia... and i hate laggs QQ. Also xperia S has better resolution than One S, but has worse GPU, may it makes to the Xperia has lower FPS in games or browser...?
I hope u can help me with any smart comment
Thanks!

))exactley!!!it `s kinda a stupid question!of course everyone who has Xperia S would say that Xperia S is the one that you should buy
Xperia S is a "sexy" phone! HTC design is ugly as hell!
In my opinion the Xperia S is much better than One S but it`s your phone....and you should make the decision!
Xperia S has no lag if you keep it "clean"
Of course every firmware has his bugs but,from my experience(i had Htc One S before Xperia S) xperia s is more fluid than One S and the screen of Xperia is absoluteley brilliant!
take a look here

Lags on Xperia S ? Where did you get this?
HTC One series - V, S, X get one and enjoy lags . Most laggy phones I have ever chance to play with. Even ONE X so powerfully smartphone is laggy. Must be an software issue.
Sent from my C64 using xda app-developers app
This was a question i pondered for some time before buying the XS
In the end i went for the better looks, better screen and double the storage over the superior chipset of the One S. Benchmarks are great but in reality all they offer is bragging rights and don't reflect real world use. Im not even convinced dual core and quad core are of any use in a mobile.

Of course it is, what do you think project butter is all about.
unless you are big fan of sense UI.. there is just no comparison.. SXS wins hands down .. for me
I had 3 HTC's before getting the XS, don't like the design of the new HTC's (apart from the thinness) and not missing sense at all.
Well, thanks for the comments, i think ill buy xperia, i hope that will be the correct decision...

For starters, Xperia S has HD resolution vs qHD on the One S.
12MP camera vs 8MP
Beats Audio on the One S may be attractive, but Sony has it's own clearbass tech and EQs.
HTC Sense vs Sony Timescape UI. Depends on personal preference.
32GB vs 16GB
The krait cores of the One S does give it a performance boost over the Xperia S, but its only noticeable when running really intensive apps or webpages.
If the One S in your region comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 MSM8260(which is the same one as the Xperia S), overclocked to 1.7Ghz, the Xperia S will be the better choice since the One S has nothing much to offer.

Or if you like me, Razr Maxx is not such a bad deal either
About Nexus Phone, i understand that there are peoples who likes pure Android experience. But it is truly for enthusiasts who are willing to add any feature by himself. For casual user though, if you already have satisfying experience with some maker's interface/functionality (Small Apps or Smart Action), the Nexus is lacking though.. But that's just my opinion..

Yeah agree, but I need a phone under 250 Euros. And by the way I'm an extreme fan of pure Android/ pure AOSP roms, but I love Sony phones and every stuff. I've got sony PlayStations, TV, media player, Radio, Hifi etc. . I would choose Galaxy nexus if it would be cheaper than 250 EUR. Any recommendations under 250.-EUR?
I've also been looking for a replacement for my Ray and I've found some interesting chinese devices ( not copies ) that look extremely good and with great prices...only bad thing is that their development section is almost inexistent...
Yo dawgs, thanks for everything, the help, good luck to all the awesome developers for Ray, glad 2 see the community growing, people helpin people, Sadly I can't take part of it anymore. bought a red Sola.

Sola was a good choice in my opinion, just don't do the same mistake that you did with the ray.
the only phone that is actually an upgrade its the xperia SX... same look, better perfomance, better screen, same size..
MM but our single core is almost the same perfomance of st Ericsson dual core chips.

Sadly I can't keep it, it's a pain that I could never try Android 4.2, and lots of roms for Ray which I should give a try. I'm happy and I bought my Sola, waiting for amazon 2 ship it, but sadly realized that Sola has almost no development. Only rethemed roms by noobs, a miui port, and the FXP cm9 which is buggy as hell and lots of things not working. But I think Sola is great enough to use without custom roms. Sony promised JB so I ain't got no worries.
Hello everyone!
I was thinking about changing my Sony xperia U because i need a phone with a bigger screen. I was thinking about the new sony xperia L.

The XPERIA S(LT26i) does have a so called non-removable battery, but it's no different to any other battery[As I see it]. In fact I have this bizarre idea I'm working on that the XPERIA S battery is the same as the BA800 battery in the XPERIA V(LT25i).
I have a BA800 battery designed for an XPERIA V(LT25i) ordered, which I'm going to swap out with the original. If that works then there is the Mugen Power 1800mAh battery designed for the XPERIA V(LT25i) which would(maybe) fit in the XPERIA S too. If my cunning plan works and the batteries are interchangeable, then other than having to remove a back plate and a few screws(Why does Sony do this????) it's no different than any other battery. I had considered NFC antenna as a possible reason the battery was bespoke to the phone, but guess I'll find out soon enough. :fingers-crossed:
There is a few benefits of the XPERIA SP over the XPERIA S.
40MHz 5GHz WiFi giving 150Mbit data transfer, Bluetooth 4.0, approx 600mAh bigger battery, A light strip that does more than just glow white, SDcard, more likely to get KLP OS upgrade, LTE high speed mobile data and an Adreno 320 GPU.
There is a few benefits of the XPERIA S over the XPERIA SP.
Native HDMI, Ability to use USB hub, keyboard/mouse with Sony DK10 dock with monitor display(HDMI) at the same time. 32GB of 10MB+ read/write storage, overall smaller and lighter phone with higher density pixel screen, cheaper price by will over USD100+, 12MP camera and XDA Developer DoomLoRD indicates he'll create a JB 4.1.2 Kernel for the XPERIA S(LT26i)

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.

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

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...
