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...
i have spent 1 hour on this topic... may be i am wrong...

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

No,u r absolutely right!
I guess a single core mali400 cannot handle heavy games
May be that's Y nova 3 laggs like hell on X U/sola!!

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.

I've met an s3 dev he said that all mali400 GPU's are quad cored but they are just underclocked,he also said that we can overclock any mali400 GPu if a suitable kernel is made!
It seems lik the ST microelectronics and Ericsson is breaking up their joint venture and so their mobile chip making plans..
Source : http://www.phonearena.com/news/Chip...-shutdown-as-STMicro-plans-to-quit-JV_id37503
So guyz we will no further see any ST Ericsson Nova Thor SoC chips... Well in my opinion I think nova Thor chips are kick ass.i have used snapdragon before but nova Thor is much snappir for me..what do you think???
Well I just hope they release all their sources for the U8500 before they shut down.....

Nova Thor is just more energy efficient, in every other aspect Qualcomm eats Nova Thor for breakfast man.

Yeah my Qualcomm HP Touchpad can easily play HD files, my U is a stuttery mess, it's an okay chipset, but far from amazing.
They have not broke up completely and they're gonna release the next generation chipset soon

Well I prefer Qualcomm more than ARM actually...
just the previous Snapdragon Scorpion does not provide more processing power than ARMv7 Cortex-A9 so I jump from Xperia mini to Xperia sola, however Adreno 205(ICS driver updated version) is better than single core Mali-400(less graphic glitch and render speed is fast)

Mali-400 is the reason why you guys aren't getting jelly bean. It's more powerful, but consumes more RAM as an expense. The irony.

Not really, although benchmark is better than Adreno 205 but gaming experience is bit worse than Adreno 205, at least Adreno 205 provide stable gaming experience but Mali 400 single core got lot of graphic glitch and sometimes in some games fps even worse than Adreno 205
Shall I buy a galaxy grand??
It has 1gb ram.
Will there be development enough?
I have an Xperia U so I might buy it.
The thing is updates.
It has JellyBean 4.1 will it get 4.2 via CM10.1?
I only care bout that and please can anyone tell me which GPU and chipset does it have.
Or some better phones in the price range.
Btw it has 1gb ram so will it get KeyLimePie when it releases?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, don't close.
Wrong post.
Sory for being late but i'll prefer you to buy a Samsung Galaxy Nexus or the Nexus 4, because you only love updates.
These two are the only smartphones that'll get the update straightaway from google ASA the version is released.
I don't think it will be having more of development work going on, it's only launched in few countries and it's got a poor display which is kinda major draw back of it.

LIFE!
IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
Poor display??!!!! And no development.....! Fuk I won't buy it then.

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

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
