I wonder if it is a good idea to wait for Xperia P than to buy huge Xperia S.
Used Galaxy Ace for over 7 months and now I sold it. Thought to buy an S2 but I just hate that shape. No more samsung!!!
Always wanted to get my hands on Xperia Arc but many other good phones are out there now in the market. Like HTC Sensation XE, Galaxy S2, etc. People will laugh if I buy an arc now. But still arc is taking over my mind because its cost is very low now compared to other phones.
I already have 630$ in my amazon.com account (as gift card balance), but I have to add some $ 80 to it to buy Xperia S and ship it to India.
I prefer Xperia P over Xperia S coz:
Smaller in size (just 4.5mm width difference but I think it matters)
8MP is enough for me
HD screen is not a must (540X960 pixels is fine)
I don't want a HD front Camera (I don't want a front camera at all for another one or two years).
But S is better over P because of 32GB storage, 1.5GHz. Well at least I have to say myself that P costs less.
What I want to do now is buy an arc, use it for 4 or 5 months, then sell it and buy the Xperia P. By the end of april sure P will be released. And after another 2 months its price will also be reduced much, like all sony phones does.
What say, friends? Now should I buy Xperia S or Arc?
The S supports USB OTG as well, it's in another thread
it's your money, I like the S because of the speed, camera, size, and looks.
Ultimately it's what you think about the two, the P has the looks, but the rest isn't doing it for me

IMO it will be stupid to buy a Arc now only to sell it again in a few months. But that just me. If you have S2 now you have big screen. And after my experince once you got a big screen you never go back. Same with televisions. And besides the arc has nearly the same size screen as the S. So i don't see your logic? Games and pictures and video is so much better on a high resolution big screen. And if you wait for the P alot other mobiles will be released by then, and then you can't decide again.
Your argument about front faced camera, well i don't realy undestand it. I doubt i'll ever use my front faced camera other than taking pictures of my self. So nobody says you have to use it and you barley notice it on the S.
Buy the S. It's a great phone just like the Arc was. The Arc was also the flagship and the followers was Neo, Pro and play. The Sony Xperia S is also the flagship the U and P are just limited editions followers.
Buy the flagship.

Face unlock in ice cream sandwich only works with front facing camera.
So you think the Xperia S is too big but you are thinking of an S II?
I like handsets that i can operate with 1 hand. Its the main reason i walked away from the Galaxy Nexus Prime.
I had the X10 and the Xperia S is 5-10mm taller and a couple of mm wider.
I have no problem driving this animal with 1 hand.
Sony's policy (until now it seems) was to release a flagship model 2010 was the X10, 2011 was the Arc and this year is the 'S' until August anyway. Then they released a mid and lower range handset.
I know that if i got the lesser models i would always wishing i got the flagship instead.
Just my personal feelings and obviously you do as you please.
Just don't make a decision on what you think.
Get down to a mobile phone shop and get your choices in your hands. Your choice would be at least then justified and not on guess work.

I posted some early impression of the Xperia S HERE with some pics of Xperia S against arc.
- If you had any screen bigger than 4.0, Xperia P will be small
- Dual Core 1GHz should be enough but 1.5GHz could help you with some apps later
-There are differences between the two and Xperia S tops it out. I felt in love with Xperia P aluminum unibody and the fact doesn't have flaps for USB connection but once I got the Xperia S I forgot all of those fact.
Xperia S is good built quality phone to the extends that Xperia ARC feels like a little toy in front of it. Flap doesn't bother me at all and made the whole phone experience even better (as far as look)
You could always buy the Xperia S and then sell it whenever you want.
Good luck mate,

Flaps don't bother me also, when I'm thinking about using them.
What really bothers me is that, because the Xperia S has these flaps, this probably means that the Smart Dock Acessory that's available for both Xperia P and Xperia Ion does not work or is not supposed to work on Xperia S, which is supposed to be the company's flagship...

Yeah i'm slightly confused that Sony haven't made a dock for the S either. What with Ubuntu coming to Android this would have been an awesome accessory. Come home from work, dock the phone in and fire up a full fledged OS and carry on with work on a bigger screen. Obviously we can still do this with the HDMI out and the USB but seems a missed oppertunity.
i read somewhere that xperia s would work with livedock.. which is a lot better deal considering it won't go irrelevant once u upgrade your phone..

The sola is a whole other device with the floating touch thing and not really in the same ballpark even as the S and the P.
It's got only a 5MP camera
1Ghz Dual Core
3.7"
512MB RAM
No secondary camera
Apparently from what i'm reading: No Bravia engine
It does have the Novathor u8500 chipset though?
Sola vs S specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4408&idPhone2=4369
Sola vs P specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4408&idPhone2=4436
I think it's just meant to be a sort of a flagship floating touch phone with that being the main focus.
S is the mobile at the moment.
I have ordered it already and may get it in my hands by tomorrow.
Thank you guys for the suggestions.

Hello!
What's up? *insert ceiling joke here*
I'm going to tell you a funny story.
In January, I ordered the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S but it took so long to arrive and I fell in love with the SXS, so I cancelled!
I was sure to get the SXS but then I saw the P and asked myself 'do I really need a high-end model? As long as it has 1Gb ram it's cool for me. Right?' I got no answer.
The SXP looks very appealing... Not only for the dock, but for it's built and size...and in red is just stunning
I'm getting tired of waiting...and being confuse. I really want to try android... So many cool stuff to do.
I want to hear your opinions.

Dude.. Its not at all funny. It completely makes sense.
Frankly I felt the same thing as you. Arc S is a great phone and I always wanted to get it in my hands. But when SXS and SXP were announced I felt it is worth waiting for them.
Also I felt like 'Do I really need a high-end mobile?' (just like you felt). That is why I opened this thread.
SXP is a good one but its not yet launched.
Now if you can't wait to get an android mobile and if you can afford to buy a high end mobile then it is completely worth buying an SXS. Previously I used 'Galaxy Ace' and now am having a great time after getting the SXS. The mobile is simply amazing.
Also do check 'HTC One X'. It is also a high end model and it comes with ICS. But personally I love Sony. Also One X is longer and wider compared to SXS. Hence I went for SXS.

Lol in this case it's dudette.
I checked out the HTC One X and the One S but, HTC fans please forgive, it's not as beautiful as the SXS. Sony adds that mojo that makes you fall in love. Plus, I know SenseUI is pretty and has lots of tweaks however Sony's simplicity is pure win.
I'm going to wait a bit for the P, to hear about it from people who use it daily. Then I'll decide which to buy. I have to choose wisely, I'll be with one of them for 2 years

Hey! If you are going to wait for P to launch then there is nothing big to decide. Like I said previously, if you can afford to buy a high end mobile then SXS would be ideal option to choose. If you feel like high end mobile is not necessary then surely SXP would be the one for you. The point is both are quality mobiles in their range.
Even after the launch of P you cannot get proper opinions comparing them. Both come under different range. I am sure both users will say S is good (its sony's flagship afterall, isn't it?). Like I said, it all comes down to whether you can afford for it or not.
And it would be silly if you buy the S after the release of P because you like S more. I mean the wait would be meaningless, right?
Keep reading the reviews of SXS. I am sure you are doing it now. Also what do you feel about SGSIII?
I would say that the Xperia P is the smallest brother to Xperia S.
I was also thinking about Xperia P, but I wanted a little bit bigger screen, but with bigger screen, it means bigger phone. It's not very comfy to control the Xperia S with only one hand. I'm a teenager so I don't have big man hands.
And Xperia P was not available in my country at that time, and I desperatly needed a phone, so there was no other choice then Xperia S.
But I think I get used to this big Xperia S phone. It would be even more perfect if it wasn't that tall (tricky to control the phone with only the thumb over the big area of screen).
But if I went for the Xperia P, it would be like my old Xperia X10, with 1GHz processor, 8MP and same screen size, so upgrading wouldnt be that big of a deal, so I just went for something good when I already was buying a new phone in 2012!
Good luck chosing your phone!
Hey fellow Xperia S owners / Sony Android phone owners.
Last Friday night I lost my beloved Xperia S, and I'm still suffering.. I know the Sony Xperia S is not perfect by any means but I loved mine. I loved the looks with the transparent antenna strip, I loved the HDMI connection separate from the USB connection (Charging while Viewing Netflix for ex.) and even though I had a small show of yellow tint issue, it was not something that bothered me at all. I also loved the fact that is not a common phone (I'm yet to find someone else in person with one). Last but not least I had also familiarized with the phone, it's firmwares, ICS running fine finally, and this xda-developers Xperia S Forum of course.
So right now I'm stuck with the Phone I was given for free from my Carrier, an LG Optimus L5 (crappy phone), even though it has ICS, it's so inferior that it only makes me miss my Xperia S even more
Ok so I need to get me a new phone, and I can say I rather have another Sony phone, so I see that there are already a few models that are coming out soon: Xperia T (Flagship, Skinny Design) and Xperia V(Love the Water-resistant aspect, but Lacks on Front Camera Resolution) , but Like I've said before I really loved the Transparent Antenna Strip, and loved having the Illumination Bar App which would Blink Fast for a Missed Call, or Slow for a new SMS; So I'm also aware of the existence of the Sony Xperia SL (Overclocked CPU to 1.7Ghz compared to the 1.5Ghz on the Xperia S but still an S3 vs The S4 on the newer models T and V), but I can't find any reviews or benchmarks of the Xperia SL making it even harder for me to decide.
So that is the situation, I would like to know what other fellow XDA members would do in my case and/or what are the recommendations.
Sony Xperia T
Sony Xperia V
Sony Xperia SL
Sony Xperia S
Other ?
How do you lost it? I can't see someone losing a phone lol. But that doesn't matter. I'd pick up the Xperia T
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
He probably misplaced it and cannot for the life of him recall where he might have left it. I've done that with an MP3 player or two.
I'd get another S. If the V becomes available by the time you make your decision (and it's reasonably priced), consider the V.
I don't even want think about it but I got really f*cked up in party @ a club on Friday and I sat on a couch and had the phone on my lap and I guess I just dropped it on the floor when I leaned to the side to throw up :banghead: .. so there you go, that's what happened :thumbdown:
I would like to know if the CPU running at 1.7GHz on the Xperia SL helps on making the ICS OS smoother without hiccups and makes the phone more responsive, and also if the speed bump drains the battery a lot faster than the Xperia S. But I can't find any info on it

Motorola Razr HD: good and solid design, big battery, skin close to stock Android.
Nokia Lumia 920: beautiful unique design, good camera, cool new technologies (IMO most are gimmick but you may think differently), good screen.
iPhone5: beautiful beautiful beautiful and classy design (I really cant get enough of how pretty it is), good screen, good camera.
Honestly if I had the money I'd buy all of them
you know what i would go for the xperia T. having SL is like and S with overclocked cpu, nevermind the transparent strip, go fot the T its an S4 krait .
Xperia SL in silver...prettiest one among the bunch
Xperia T
I would go for the Xperia T or TX if you have to upgrade soon. The device looks very solid, and Sony has learned from the S.
If the V is available to you and the price is right, that's my second pick.
If I lost my Xperia, I would get a galaxy s (the original one) root and flash jb, change the battery, my wife has that now, easy 2 days with daily use (she uses it for work). Would be a good backup for when ur looking for another phone cheap as well, if u lose phones a lot has a nice screen and light

In the future, unless you're loaded and can afford to buy a new phone every few months, install something like Cerberus anti-theft on it. You have a high chance of finding it.

I would probably buy a P if I lost mine

Depends on your demand of usage. Though i'll get the new Xperia T. Bond is the game lol nah seriously! it beats S3 n HTC on some serious level plus i have my faith on the new gen snapdragon chipsets & surely the battery can always be tweaked! my Xperia S runs for about 16-17hrs with normal usage so Mr.T can run longer or even perform better and definitely faster! Else, i will wait for the announced S4 PRO LG optimus G (Quads+2150mAh battery) but then again, i never actually liked the way LG looks. Xperia is the beauty with brain

Something dirt cheap if you are going to keep losing them
Currently I own an iPhone 5s. Love the thing all around, but android has a spot in my heart as being the first smartphone to own. I wanted the Necus 5, but after reading up on the Xperia Z1/2, I want one of these a lot more. Now I'm with t-mobile on the jump program, but my iPhone is about 60% paid off. I have a few questions here.
•Tmobile has the Xperia Z and Zs. I've read this was mistaken to be the Z2, but then I read the specs were slightly off. The Z2 being a little bit better, but not hundreds of dollars more. If I could I want the Z2, but it looks like the only way to get it is to buy the unlocked international version for the full $600, right?
•With that in mind for anyone who has made the switch from i5 to this phone or one of the too android phones have you regretted it all. I don't want to get the feeling of wishing I had my i5 back or paid it off first. Lol
•Speaking on the Z1s if any of you have one or have fooled with one, how much different is it than the Z2? If it's not noticeable then I wouldn't mind barring the jump plan and getting ahold of the Xperia Z that way. Oh and yes, I will be rooting, customizing and all things of the sort. It's why I love android so I have to do that. Wait, are there plenty of mods and stuff for both the Xperia or is it limited? I know my nexus 4 had a lot.
If you will buy a Sony phone, Z2 is the best and only choice as of now. The only Sony phone better than Z2 is Xperia C with its huge battery life but that's about it. T2 Ultra battery life is also good but it's too big for me. In spite of what people say, there is a big enough difference with Z1 and Z2 but if you already bought the Z1, then no need to upgrade unless you have extra cash. Z2 to Z3 might even have a smaller difference unless Sony puts their A game and surprises us with Z3.
If you're coming from Z, it's really worth upgrading to Z2 because it fixed all the flaws of Z even though the design of Z is a little better than Z2 for me.

I was referring to the Z1s though, not just the Z1. It seems to be what Tmobile got instead of the Z2, which is in other countries.
I have an iPhone 5, which is not really that different to the 5s. I jumped ship a while ago.
This is not the first time I tried to switch to android. I hated android before on Motorola milestone and galaxy s3, but I have to say I'm really loving this phone. Sure, at the beginning I kinda missed my iphone as I wasn't really used to it. After I got everything going, this phone has been great. I especially love the noise cancelling. (without it I wouldn't have purchased it at the first place) it works just as well as those dedicated noise cancelling headphones, in my opinion.
The only things I miss on my iPhone right are the smaller screen, imessage and iTunes. Big screen is not really my thing... 4.5-4.7 inch would have been perfect.
Every phone has its pros and cons. Long story short, I don't regret switching to it at all.

There isn't much difference between Z1 and Z1s so Z2 is still the better phone. Z1 should have been the Z2 if Sony didn't skimped on the specs. Sony could have stopped Samsung's momentum last year. But still a job well done for Z2. If you have a friend that has a Z2, try feeling it because it's really hard to judge the phone without seeing it personally.
hello guys i want to buy a new device am coming fros the galaxy s2
and im considering buying a z2 or z3 or lg g3
i know the z3 is not very different from the z2 but is it good to buy it ??or the lg g3 ??
plz help me am really confuse right now
Z3 is a better but more expencive version of the Z2 however Z2 can do most of what Z3 can exept performance (thats software), camera and battery (all software problems)
(these arent huge differences)
(maybe between Z1 and Z2, Z2 is worth it but Z2 and Z3 if they are same price then go for Z3)
(Z3 is weaker than Z2 from what ive seen, it cant take as much of a drop or impact)
LG g3 is ok but its slugish which put me off it.

Unfortunatelly these days software is even more important than hardware.
Z2 is a great device, with good camera and useful features, but it will never be as fast as htc, although it has even better specs.
Lg g3 will be even slower. This huge ppi will make it lagg, as it's still uses the adreno 330.
So in my opinion go for z2, or z3 if it's got a good price.

yeah the m8 is much faster but i want a great camera too (i don't like the ultrapixel tho) so i guess am going to get a z3
thank you very much
Hello there,
I need to buy a phone and am getting both Z3C and Z2 at similar prices. ($400).
I know the merits and demerits of both but am still confused. Also I owned a Xperia U (great dev support) but am unable to see any great dev support for both the z3 and Z2. I am a sony lover <3 Should I buy them or look forward to any other device with great dev support (OPO, OPT, G3 etc)
Thank You
If you want really really good dev support then go with the OPO. LG G3 has terrible dev support. ^^ But the SONY XPERIA Z2 or others or solid phones with good support. Only the camera isnt the best if you unlock the device s bootloader. Thats something important. I think in the end the size is the biggest point. Do you want a big or small^^ Smartphone it belongs to you. Sony has got sdcard slot. Also n important point i think. Or you could wait for the Nexus 5 2015, because then you would have the best dev support out here. gl
Hi, both the two choices are good ones, personally i own the Z2 & I can assure you its amazing, but the Z3+ have some amazing under the hood optimizations which are quite a kicker for this years devices, Also, you may have already heard, IFA is just around the corner & Sony will be releasing the new Xperia range, so in my opinion it would be wise to see what new is coming & then make your decision accordingly. Also generally the launch of new devices leads to a price drop in the previous iterations, so hang on a little (till 2nd September) atleast

Yes I agree with the fact that z3+ is quite a kicker but its too much over budget :/. I do plan to wait till 15 september and then choose wisely
Lg and Samsung are no go! I dont care about the camera because it will be a upgrade over my moto e anyways. I plan to wait till sep 15. I dont want to go to opo because its not sony
Z2

Surely go for Xperia Z2. It has a good development support in xda. Z3c has 2 gb ram, 720p display and 2600 mah battery. Z2 has 3 gb ram, 1080p display and 3200 mah battery.. They always get almost same featured firmware upgrade.. So why not go for the big and powerful one?
Well both are powerful enough!
Infact Z3C has a better backup than that of Z2. The extra ram is of no use at least today. Z3C is newer but its dev support seems worse than that of Z2.
I am confused lol
I remember you from Xperia U times :cheers:
Z2 all the way. Bigger screen, bigger battery, same software features, more RAM.
I would go for Z2 if you want a bigger screen.
Z3Compact is smaller so much more compact, and its battery life is legendary.
Z2 has a great battery too, but Z3C has beaten all the records in this regard.
Yup that is the thing
Yap.. I also remember you.. @jatinrungta
Camera remains the same if you go back to stock and use DRM restoration.
@alone_in_dark
is it worth the phone today? since i am seeing no dev in z2 at all :/ while opo has a lot of dev support
For custom rom, Niaboc79 is there for Z2... you won't need anyone else.. And for other things.. Cross development section is there..
