So, i'm buying a new phone which will be an upgrade of my current xperia mini as well as galaxy nexus (though i will still use them). I have Xperia L and Xperia Ion LTE in mind as both of them are in my budget. What do you guys think is a better handset in terms of performance (HD gaming+battery life) :good:
Xperia Ion LTE:- http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_ion_lte-4412.php
Xperia L:- http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_l-5363.php
Thanks,
Ishan
Definitely xperia L its going to ve quite a bit faster than the ion but the ion has a better screen...... But the ion will stop at 4.1 (if it gets it) while the l might get 4.2 so it's a choice between updates and processor over screen and camera

Thanks for the reply this fast
But only thing that concerns me is that the ion has an S3 processor while the L has an S4 but as each is clocked at 1.5GHz and 1 GHz respectively, won't Ion be a little faster? Or as L has a newer generation CPU as well as GPU (adreno 305) it will be better in gaming+performance?
Clock speed might not make a huge difference because the krait cores in s4 are way faster than the s3's cores and also the adreno 305 is more powerful than the one in the the ion......
Since the ion is around 22000 rs I would suggest that you save up a little more and go for a nexus 4 instead which blows away both the ion and the xperia L

How much would the Nexus 4 cost in Indian market? Also the disappointing thing about all Nexus's is NO expandable memory

I don't know if dad will allow for 5000/- more. I also need to get my x-box repaired. If i costs less then i could go for xperia sp

yeah thats good to go! xperia SP is batter...
The only reason the sp beat the nexus 4 in benchmarks is because benchmarks aren't optimised yet for 4.2.2
Isn't it obvious that the nexus 4 is faster (2X the RAM, 2 more cores of same processor)? OP, the SP is a good choice but the nexus 4 is better IMHO because of updates, performance, etc. But if you need expandable storage then the SP is the way to go.
Oh and FYI, I'm sure the xperia sp isn't "batter", it's definitely made of aluminium, glass and silicon

The only downside of SP is the camera. The sample shots are quiet awful in comparison with xperia P and arc S which has Exmor R while SP has RS

Hey man your phone your choice although another happy nexus user wouldn't be bad
But the reason I'm rooting for nexus is because you want to play HD games....they will run well on the xperia sp but the extra gig of ram is a boon......and besides you won't have to worry about updates you'll have official updates for 1.5-2 years and unnoficial for even longer........
I had to make the same choice between an s3 and xperia V (until my pocket money magically increased ) and looking back I think I made a good choice.
Another thing to note is that in jellybean you can't move apps to SD card so if you buy a phone with just 8GB internal storage (sp and L have only that much right?) Then at max you can have only 2-3 HD games......

On phones that run jellybean natively you can't move apps to your microSD card......so you'll be limited to 5.8 GB (space you actually get) for apps and games.
Oh and the nexus 4 can be purchased online but will cost around 26500-28000 rs......which is about the same as xperia sp which is 27000

I myself would have chosen the one s but 16Gigs is too little. That's why it maybe a better choice and for only $10 more. But that's just my opinion. You have it really hard because the one S is such a good looking phone and hardware to match.

brenty108: I've removed all of the junk from my SD card (it is 32GB and it was full) and now I have 5GB of apps photos and music... so 16gb is fine...
this are the only phones that are in my budget... (the best anyway... I dont think that the SGS2 / galaxy nexus / moto Razr / Xperia arc / ray / play can beat any of the ones I've writen above.)

Well, in my opinion, i will wait until CES2013 over..but i have few and monstrous QuadCore phones in my mind:
1. SONY XPERIA ODIN~ (Will be ultimate phone if specs is as powerful as rumored)
2. GOOGLE Nexus 4~ (But no microSD Card Slot)
3. HUAWEI HONOR 2~ (Cheap But Affordable Specs, supposed to have big spaces for further development)
4. LG OPTIMUS 4G
Hope Helps
Nexus 4 it's the better because it will have automatic updates when google anounce a new android version!
Nexus 4... although since you.mentioned price being a problem, the HTC one S is probably the next best option..don't buy the xperia S, its got the looks but performance is nothing compared to the one S..and the optimus 4X is trash, for something that costs a hundred bucks more...
I think the best one would be the one S..the.limited edition has 64GB internal memory, you might wanna look into that too
1 - HTC One S (Snapdragon S4) (cheapest) it'z to be high performance for 2012 xda developers. Enjoy your all requirement i thin so...!!
Just go to a store and put as many as you can in your hand. They all feel a little different, touch response, brightness, feels like a girly phone
Don't wait for the next best thing, there's always another better one coming.

Hey gents, I am looking to upgrade from my Xperia Ray some time in January or February and I am hoping that some of you guys can help me in narrowing down the search. So I compiled a small list of wanted features.
WANTED
Medium sized screen (4.3 inches or smaller)
Enough RAM to support android 4.2 and further upgrades (2gb or 1gb)
Dual or quad core for multitasking
Android system
Reasonable price (below 400 euro) - preferably less expensive
Do you have any suggestions? I am pretty open to any OEM.

I think you misread my post I am looking for a phone with a 4.3 inch screen or smaller. I dislike the huge phones and thought that it looked completely ridiculous when I saw a guy with a Galaxy Note 2 in the metro today.
But the Nexus 4 could be a phone that made me go for an exception. I have had a sweet eye on this phone since the start of November. I am just a bit thrown off by the size of it. A screen with 4.7 inches is not possible to be operated with one hand for a guy with medium-small sized hands.

Thanks a lot guys for all pf your answers!
I appreciate all your suggestions and I will consider all of them before I make any descisions.
The Nexus 4 is tempting, but I dont see it becoming nearly as cheap in Denmark as on Play Store anytime soon
Xperia S seems to be a nice phone, but it seems to be slippery because of the back and the shape. Also it looks a bit wierd with the huge attachment to the bottom.
Xperia ion I will have to look in to, because it has not crossed my mind earlier.
With regards to the S2: Xperia Ray has had 4.2 for 2 days now, I consider that pretty fast
nexus 4?
1 issue that bothering me is easily break on glass-back body.
ive read many post by other ppls on this issue.
if u stick with Sony, go X-ion. that the best for me now.
One-S is too expensive if comparing on same-spec phone. its better take sony X-S than one-s.

Emm... 16GB varient for samsumg s3 is for 28k. This is a good choice but if u can live with 8gb with no sd card and a little bad camera than s3 then go definatly for the nexus 4 for 23k. It is the most smooth android device in market right now and is more powerful than s3. Its the device that comes closest to iphone 5 snappiness. It almost run at a constant 60fps everytime. Not even a bit of lag in any game. 60 fps even in nova 3

And S3 for 28k is not a bad deal at all unless the device is in good condition..

nd guys U can cut out Nexus 4 from the list no SD-Slot I forgot that its a NEXUS series phone they dont hav SD-slots..
so the race is between S2, S3, One X or any other you guys would like to suggest..
the thing is I like are
Firmware MIUI (Official) coz I'll stick to it so no need for official Google updates..
Camera 8MP
Earphone sound doesn't matter coz I use PowerAmp (it ROCKS) but speaker should be decent

Emm...yes one x is better than s3.
1.better build quality in my opinion.
2.tegra 3 rocks. Tegra chips have certain exclusive features that s3 can even touch.
3.no oversaturated amoled displays.
4.more future proof then s3.
5.more durable and appealing.

WTF!!!
What the hell are these phone made of.. 8O
but are they reliable?? nevr heard of this brand..
nd guys U can cut out Nexus 4 from the list no SD-Slot I forgot that its a NEXUS series phone they dont hav SD-slots..
so the race is between S2, S3, One X or any other you guys would like to suggest..
the thing is I like are
Firmware MIUI (Official) coz I'll stick to it so no need for official Google updates..
Camera 8MP
Earphone sound doesn't matter coz I use PowerAmp (it ROCKS) but speaker should be decent

Arent u contradicting urself?Or have u changed your mind?
Btw the Htc one x on ebay is the AT&T version,which has DUAL CORE S4 processor rather than Tegra 3,u'll get tegra 3 version for 28k.So if 16gb is not a problem,definately go with nexus 4.
I just dont know why the seller has not mentioned it,maybe many of them who bought from him didnt even know that.

have not changed my mind at all buddy, m not gonna go for a limited memory whether its Nexus 4 or One X..
I need external storage nd I guess I'll go with S2 have some source of mine who's givin me this device for a reasonable price..
S3 will be li'l out of my budget nd a li'l big in size for my pocket.. XD
I kinda regret it now. When buying, i was enticed by the specs and i thought: "this phine is awesome! No regrets buying it! Better than my laggy neo v!" now, the battery life is not good, its lagging now on jb moonbreaker 3.5. Kinda regret not choosing something better. Although we have awesome devs (thanks! ), i feel that the phone is a bit too overpriced for the specs, and taking on account that we don't have official support from roms like CyanogenMod, SlimBean, Paranoid Android etc. Just wanna hear your views here.

Why did I buy:banghead::banghead::banghead:
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
When i bought this phone - I wanted one with a screen size around 4-4.3 inches.
I narrowed it down to the Xperia S, Xperia P & the HTC One S.
I played around with all three and narrowed it down to the Xperia P. The price difference for the Xperia S & the One S was too much to justify.
Although i expected more official CyanogenMod support - I understand the lack of NovaThor support is what's the reason behind it.
With CM10.1 by @percy_g2 - the phone finally runs as i expected it to - smooth as butter.
I'm perfectly good with the phone and don't see any need to upgrade either - so long as percy fixes Bluetooth
The battery seems to be the one crippling factor for this phone though - I have made a habit to keep a charger handy and I do get 3-4 hours of screen on time which isn't shabby at all.
Cheers,
Ray
Yeah sort of, the battery life is worse than I thought and the white magic isn't that special... next time i go Samsung or Nexus
i regret spending €140 on a phone that wont be provided with JB by Sony
Don't regret , in some time we will have a blast in dev selection with new roms , i just need build server access from xda .I have applied and waiting.
Development these days needs lots of bandwidth with good speed which i don't have .
Build server will help in fast development and more things will come :angel: .
I'm so poor Need a little high end with cheap so I got this Xperia U I'm regret but this is what I deserves :crying:

yes as i have it to april 2014 on contract with locked boot loader so i cant go higher than ics what hasn't been updated in months
Regret, and the main reason are locked bootloaders;( The 2nd one is that it has novathor chipset
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
No regret at all, 100 pounds for completely new Xperia U is very good. Batterry life is good - 2 days with moderate use.

Locker bootloader? Lol, just unlock it! It's so easy!
No regret for buying Xperia U, Its runs great on gingerbread! On ICS its OK......
No regrets. I bought my Xperia U on day one for 199 euros, it was a best buy... Really GREAT performance on GB, worse on ICS, even a lot BETTER on JB (thank you kontini... You saved my phone!). Really sad the missed update to jb, sony is really bad to this... But i'll buy another sony because of fantastic design, and xperia are really easy moddable.
My next phone will be Sony Xperia Z, probably on november. I hope xD
Having mixed feelings about this phone, better rom support (=>availability of novathor sources) would have been nice.
But with cm10.1 it is a lot smoother than it used to be and battery life also has been a lot worse with stock.
I like the phones screen, I hate white magic, camera is decent, performance is not ideal.
This phone isn't bad, but could have been a lot better.
I don't regret buying this phone: The price wasn't bad and I won't make the same mistakes again.

I think that he meant he has a "unlock allowed = no" phone.
Coming from a Galaxy Ace-i, I'm completely satisfied Bought my white XU in February at €169, it was on sale, I hope it'll last a lot because I love it, the only "cons" are the quite small screen and the RAM problems on JB, but it's a great phone! Sony totally captured me, my next phone will be another Xperia :3
My classmate always tells me that my phone looks like a toy phone conpared to his Galaxy S4, but I reply that, at least, mine doesn't look like a plastic frying pan
I love my XU

Hi guys, I'm really interested in Xperia U but my budget is under$180. Does anybody know a good deal flying around ? I don't mind refurbish , I looked up on Ebay but I'm not sure the quality since all the sellers are from China, I wonder can people fake a Sony device or not? Please help!!

I hardly play game (Sudoku is the one &only I play), I mainly surfing web,watch some music video, install bunches of all, so I don't think that 1gbram is much of a prob . Where did you buy your Xperia U?

Well a pretty harsh statement I would say! Its not awful but has some shortcomings which every mobile set has but believe me its shortcomings list is short too.

i know 3 people who own them, who all hate them and wish they'd never bought it. it's laggy, it freezes, it's slow. I've updated them to unofficial jellybean and they're better but still not great, considering the original iPhone's were 1gig dual core's too. and they didn't have those problems

well the fact is Xperia U is 1.5 years old and has no more support
So I dont recommend it to anyone now but it is a great phone
You should get a phone with support even if your budget is low, why not get something on contract?
thank you everyone who commented. I'm googling Ace 3 right now. & please keep giving me advice. I really appreciate it.

I'm still on contract with Tmobile until April 2014. I'm living in Midwest USA which dominated by Verizon. Other options are US Cellular & Viaero but their signal is not strong in some places that I go on weekend. so I'd like to be open with get in and out with a plan easily. I'm thinking of having PagePlus service , I don't need data plan so it's even cheaper.

Will witch one is faster and better for gaming
Xperia u with a 1ghz dual core or iphone 4 with single core
If it is hard to play games ??? how could it run jellybean with the same ui as the Z
Will the U can't
Plus it is using a snapdragon chipset and if some dev worked on the kernel it can be overclocked to 1.9 ghz
About resolution
Small device with a low resolution is not a bad thing it is just like the xperia go in display
And the low resolution means less ram usage less battery drain better gaming
The camera is not that bad i think it is similar to xperia u's one cause megapixels does not mean everything in cameras
The only real problem that there is no flash
He can take photos in the morning and use other cameras or phones to take photos in the night
And as i think he is living in america (us)
And it is full of lights as i know lol
Or he can buy a flashlight with the remaining 30$ ( just joking lol )
AFAIK all iPhone's were dual core

You said that it can run jb like Xperia z but do u know how many user say that it run jb smooth?
Only 3/10 why I said that cuz I own Xperia E before.U said iPhone 4 got a single core you're totally wrong.iPhone 4 got dual core if u don't know try to search before posting .U said 3.2 mp camera not that bad compare to 5.0mp, u totally wrong why don't u compare 8mp camera to z1 21mp camera. it's not that different?:thumbdown:
overclock From 1ghz to 1.9ghz maybe only your family could do that(i said maybe)
