Hi all,
I did not see a thread on this when posting, if there is, it's labelled as something very different...
I've the 2010 Mini and want to buy the 2011 Mini - the one you guys have. It's useful to ask around for problems/happy features about the phone first...
So what do you really like/not like? Your phone is getting upgrade to ICS as well...with decent specs like that you might make the next update, Jellybean too. But how's your phone going?
Thanks

If you want to buy xperia mini then go ahead buy it..it's a great device for a price..you are coming from smaller display..so you are not going to have any problem with 3 inch display..display is awesome..so do other things are..keep in mind that some minis were defective so get new stock they are not defective..if you get defective model then go to service center they will fix it..now there are plenty of roms to try..so if you get boar to stock rom then there are plenty of Roms to try..in my opinion you should buy xperia mini....

ya the problems that mini had were fixed by the calibration fix Sony brought out promptly. and it's much better than the competition, you know that from your research!
That's great to hear...that's exactly the kind of stuff I've been hoping to hear!
Yeah it's a 3 inch screen and my bro has the Xperia X8 which also has 3 inch. but it's so much more compact in the Mini...and the Mini is so hot! Nevermind the upgraded features and good specs for future updates...

i don't know whether you realize it or not, the mini comes without the front facing camera.. first i thought it was a standard spec of all 2011 xperias, luckily someone point it to me just before i decided to go with cheaper mini. i use skype a lot.
Yeah it is a shame it doesn't have the front camera. The Xperia Ray does, and when ICS comes out for these devices, we can use that face-unlock. The thing is, that is really a gimmick. As fun as it is, as much as we want to show everyone the face-unlock, I don't really need it, though it is cool.
Good point about Skype though. I use it on my laptop but not on my phone. I'm interested in the extra camera etc. on the bigger Xperias but some of them are a bit pricey here and all of them have the same core features e.g. the CPU, GvPU, RAM etc. and I like that about the Mini, a lot of power in a decent 3 inch screen!
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!
I've using Arc for about a year now and now I lost it....!!!
I'm planning on buying a Sony Xperia S but I am paranoid becuase of the screen problem which is being discussed on different forum...!!! So my question is, " Is it worth to take chance...??? Should I go for it...???"
Suggestions guys...!!!
Well it's pretty much a lottery if you get the yellow screen problem. Also, if you get the problem, you always get it repaired as its an issue recognized by Sony.
I myself don't have the problem, but if i develop it I really don't care, as it could be sent in .
It's your decision. To me, I don't care, because it could always be fixed .

I was in similar situation. Being an SE design fan, got Xperia S. I just couldn't accept it after a week of trying hard. Phone felt too long, thick, heavy, lousy capacitive buttons, gorgeous screen, bad idea to have cover for USB port, etc. Got HTC One X and love it so far. Sleek like Arc, and the build quality is way better than any SE phones I've seen.
I miss the simplicity of SE ROMs but i guess i can go customizations soon. Waiting for screen protectors to start using it regularly.

Hi there
Could you be so kind to write a bit more comparing the two phones? I am trying hard to like my xps but coming from iPhone the hardware is a big step back. My mine worries would be the screen on the one s now getting used to my xps.
Kind regards

I tried the one x and it's normal htc. Give you the highest spec hardware and that's it. Love my arc and Xperia S way ahead of one x. Lol

While build quality of one X is better along with specs, I prefer my Arc over one X. At the same time I prefer One X over Xperia S. 4.2 to 4.3" screens are about the perfect size for me. Any bigger means stress on my thumb when pulling down the notification bar. Hope I will get used to One X screen size over time.
Unfortunately, Xperia S design has too much bezel before the screen starts at the bottom. That pushed the top edge of the screen very high making One X screen feel easier on thumb when using notification bar.
I just like Arc so much more and I might actually consider getting Arc C if ICS runs smoothly on it when it rolls out.
has Anyone felt problem with its thickness ?

I didn't have problem but after using Arc, it just didn't feel right to own a thick one. SE set the trend for thin phone with Arc and when everyone is making thin phones they went back to making a thick XPS. I am not sure what features made it be so thick and soooo long. HTC One X has all features XPS has and still is as thin as Arc.
I think its just the right thickness, but i like having a firm grip of the phone. Coming from HTC Legend btw
Screen is downright amazing, and the only thing i can name as a con is a steep adjustment curve from hw buttons to capacitive buttons.
Y'all have a nice day!

If you answered "yes", then which phone do you wish you had bought/waited and bought instead?
Honestly I've never have to mess around/repair a phone so much and still, 4 months after buying, not at all being happy with it. Mostly it's the battery life, but the software support/bugs got me wishing I had bought another phone instead. Maybe an Xperia V w/extended battery or just an HTC.
It's 70% no and 30% yes.
I really dig this design, seriously, it's gorgeous! And the build materials...LOVE IT!
However...the camera isn't as impressive as I was expecting (my Xperia Pro took pretty damn good photos and sometimes, it was even better than my XP), the dual-core processor didn't blew me away and I'm kinda worried that we won't get an update past 4.1 (which kinda sucks, since I bought the phone 3 months ago).
When I bought XP, I was considering LG L9 (which I still kinda want, save for the ugly design of course) or Galaxy Advance (which was uglier and more expensive). If I get the chance I do would trade my XP for an L9.
But still, I love Sony's UI and apps, so I really never get tired of the phone, and the design will never feel old, nor outdated for me. It can be said that I'm quite happy with the phone, but I still would like to try that L9 phone.
Also, I kinda would like to return to a Galaxy Note (1), while the design is kinda bland, I really would like to experience having a big screen with some few tweaks, besides, I can just install Sony's apps on it.
i am using an xperia sola. i dont really bother about the build design and all but having the latest software means the most to me. its not that sola cant run the latest OS but its the bad chipset with virtually no developer support. So yes 80% i regret buying it. Everytime you buy a new gadget you learn something new. So next time i buy a phone ill ensure the chipset is only from qualcomm.
AW: Do you regret buying your Xperia P?
A clear no

Absolutly not, it's my first Androdi Phone but when I compare it with my friends phone, I really prefer mine.
Im already satisfied with my device, but im also worried we wont have an update past 4.1,...i guess this will be the last firmware we'll receive.

Yes and No, its a sweet phone but i'am not happy with the battery life =\ The screen is god but the reception is not as good as on my HTC One V work phone...
I have rooted it to get rid of all the crapy Sony stuff... next time I think I will buy a Nexus device
Wish I had invested Rs. 7,000 more and bought the Galaxy Nexus

+1. maybe a little more RnD on our part and we should have gone for a snapdragon powered phone.
I just didn't think!! Man I was dumb!
Yes.. Poor front camera, few custom roms (didnt release source code) .. I should get samsung s2..

No 'cause it's better than my former Atrix, it's more smother, more efficient than Moto and is so well build. Imho i will choose once again P. Of course there are better phones but also more expensive than P.

I dont know about you, but about the time I bought my Xperia U, there was no dual core CPU in the market for the price of the xperia U. I was told the battery lasted about 10 hours and as of now, I'm not disappointed with that claim. Sure, as of now, you have plenty of alternatives for a dual core with those mediatek ones even pumping out quad-core ones [which aren't as far off in benchmarks than our novathor chips].
And to be honest, the only problem I have is not having jelly bean. Then again, if we're being realistic, unless someone bought this phone purely for development [which in that case would be pretty damn dumb and they should have done more research] the phone doesn't falter back. My U satisfies whatever I throw at it at a day to basis [Regular Browser use, music, radio when on stock rom, calling and normal moderate-graphic-intensive-games] I don't see why anybody is complaining. considering the GUI is vitrtually the same as ICS save for project butter [which if you've seen on the xperia J is absolute rubbish]
Just my 2 cents.
EDIT:- Oh and like people have already said before at the price of an Xperia P you will not find the class of build quality observed on any other non-Sony device.
totally regret my xperia p, i live in Canada so i cant really get much for the device over here, plus battery sucks, and yeah kind of sick of messing with my device just so that it will work..its laggy and i should have waited for xperia z or nexus 4, which im probably gonna go get one or the other anyway....so sick of it lol
I dont regret...
I have Lumia 820 and Xperia P.
I bought the XP for 280 USD which is by far cheaper to another phones with the same specs.
Clearly i dont like the battery or the camera (is fine, not great as L820 but who cares)
+1 to that mate i have absolutely no regrets over this phone

Could have been better, could have been worse
For almost the same price o could have gotten the S2, so a little regret but not too much... it is a good phone
If nexus 4 was out I would've got that, and if I understood the limitations of Novathor might've looked elsewhere. But this is a decent phone for sure, best mid range imo

Hey guys
So the title says it all really
I can get both for around the same price, a couple of £'s here and there difference
I love the Xperia Z ultra because of the thinness of the device and how powerful it is, im not to fussed about the camera or that it has no flash. the battery life looks good too, and i must say the screen is the best feature with that X reality engine and Bravia engine, it looks amazing.
Bear in mind im getting either or after xmas, 6 months later im due an upgrade so should i go to a 5" device now and then bigger in June when my contracts up
I love the Xperia Z1 because its still pretty thin and has the same specs, battery life looks to be around the same, and that camera would probably come in handy eventually
what do you guys think?
Ive posted this in both Z1 and Z Ultra thread to get an idea of which to get
Jack
Sony store. You'll pay a little extra, but then you have peace of mind.
I got mine through an online store. Saved $100, but ended up paying more...
Sent it back for repair, had to pay for it to be send back to me... and 7 weeks later its still not arrived back.

** DO NOT BUY FROM THEM **
It all comes down to size and screen (and camera).
- If you want a phablet, get the Ultra
- If you want the best screen, get the Ultra
- If you want the best camera, get the Z1
That's about it.
Depends on what you want more now a big screen or small screen . And the type of phones coming out in sort of 6months time. I have my xzu and HTC one at the same time and it's pretty awesome. But I would say xzu is great because it's very big I use it as a video player audio book player and mostly satnav in my car for work. Only problem with the waterproof Sony's is the sound quality I'm not fussed about loudspeaker but the actual phone headset in call is dreadful.

I think ill get the Z ultra xD
I think xzu is better because you get more screen size with better display but with cheaper price (at least xz1 is around 150US$ more here) phone camera can be easily fixed should you choose to buy qx devices. So unless you have problem of small hands, xzu is a better way to go.

I had the same confusion as you.... I picked up the ZU and never once I have regretted getting it.... The camera to be viewed over the phone is Ok... Noting great and that's all I use it for.... So I'm fine with it... Over ZU demands a lot of attention.... Everyday for the last 2 months.... People have come up to me and said... Woaahh that's amazing... It's good to have a phone that not only is good but actually does turn heads and I'm glad I dint go with the note 3
