Hey guys,
I hope u can help me with some advice.. the thing is that i need to choose between this 2 devices and is harder than i thought..
The thing is that some stuff I like at S3 some I don't and the same story with the xperia Z
S3:
+ Lots of futures and does a lot of great stuff (motion and bla bla)
+ It seems better optimized like the Z is more powerfull and it scores better in benchmarks.. but i see that ppl are saying that the S3 is better optimized, is that true ? (or it is not that obvious?)
+Speaker is better than the XZ...I don't listen music.. but I wanna hear my phone when it rings..
__________________________________________________________________________________
- It is older than the XZ... Will samsung provide updates for the next 2 years ? at least ?
- PLASTIC )) And I have 2 friends that said that their screen broke out of nowhere...
+/- I like both screens, I don't care about the cameras
I just want a phone that will last longer and runs android in normal conditions and feels like a quad-core..
Gimme some opinions..Please

I would choose the s3 my friend. My reason? Having owned a xperia z for a short period of time, I found the battery to be horrific and having to use power save just to get through a day. S3 however, battery is excellent and can easily handle my daily usage. Thats my reason. Choose wisely

This is the i9300 Q&A Forum, not the i9305 or Xperia Z Q&A forum
I'd get the Xperia Z personally.
The S3 is like a current day Ford Mustang or Dodge Charger. It has great specs and the engine sounds bloody great but in the end, it can't put all the power on the road and can only go in straight lines.

Speed and Power: If you're gonna use it stock-like, its gonna let you down. After you at least upgrade it to Gingerbread, the phone is gonna suck. Its really good afterwards. Then it depends what custom rom or scrips you want on it to make it even better.
Community: As you can see, we're here to help. But PLEASE for the love of god, GOOGLE BEFORE MAKING THREADS. We've been having problems with new noobs posting threads on every little issue they face. But as I can see, you're not new to XDA so we'll be glad to welcome you here.
Camera: The camera is awesome. 5MP and shoots 640x480 DVD quality video.
Price: It depends where you're getting it from and who you're getting it from. But from the prices I've seen it at, I can tell you its worth the money.
Get the Ace and join us!
Not trying to sound impolite but there was a few threads just like this one, they are pretty up to date. To summarize; the answer is no. Why? Since there are better alternatives.

Well, he's asking about the Ace for a reason. Otherwise, I'd recommend him to get a Galaxy S2.
He should try Xperia Mini.. Not sure about the community support for it though
if you can wait you might can get ace plus
Well, for starters, xperia mini will get official ice cream sandwich, ace will not. For me, that alone would be the reason for not buying ace. Camera is not great on either of them, though the one on ace should be better.
I'd go for the mini, or another phone, but not ace. At least wait for the plus version, that is if you must have an ace.
whats your budget?
if its big then answer is no
I wouldn't recommend Ace.
First even though 800 MHz is enough for most applications, it's A6 processor.
Internal memory is too low. Unless you tweak your phone, you can't install much apps.
RAM is also low.
No... I'm regretting my purchase now... Look for something like HTC explorer.

if u believe in above all and want mid range phone go for htc salsa because it have 800mhz+512 Mb ram and hve almost 1 day battery while regularlu use alot
wheras motrola defy also have same features and water resistable so u can make video while diving into water
both of camera quality is good
coming to galaxy ace because of its low RAM its not capable of multitasking but ya resale value is good but installing custom ROM speed is far good
it's actually a trade in for my old phone , my old w8 got spoiled alot of time in my hands..about 3 times in a month and my dad got pissed and asked for him to have a trade in ..my dad give him rm 200 while he give me a better phone ...still my budget is about RM700 pretty low ..i had a fren who have an ace but he says this phone is rubbish ..but the desgin is too darn nice its hard to pass..still i am planning to install roms on this phone if i have it ...it seems the review for tbhis phone not too good...
Its ok...The phone is outdated now though.If you have a budget,go with this one.If not,get an AcePlus or something familiar.My view,its okayish
kay..i will see
I don't recomend this phone. It never get official CyanogenMod 7,9 and official MIUI. Also it's probably never get official ICS update.
Look for something with better dovelopment background.
Get yourself a motorola defy if you like modding and all with full support...or else if you want an update of ICS officialy and hd video recording go for the Xperia Mini, all though its a ladies phone

Agreed..That few extra bucks is really worth it.Official MIUI and CyanogenMod support along with it being dust,water and...scratch proof?I forgot
No don't get an ace. It will be your worst nightmare since it is the worst phone with virtually no Samsung or xda developer support. And we do not want another f*** noob.

Hi
I want to know a few things about Xperia Sola before buying one
The most important thing to me is games , can Sola handle games average and big ones??? . And what can you tell me about the Sola's camera??.
Since it has a duel core cpu is it good for multitasking , is it fast or slow .
If you had to choose between Sola and Arc S ,which one would you prefer?
And one last thing , for how long do you think Sony will keep supporting Xperia Sola?
Thanks in advance
no one has Xperia Sola?????

Sola is the same as Xperia P and I have used an Xperia P for a bit. It will run most games fine and they are updating the compatability for the chipset as well. It is pretty smooth and the dual core should be good for multitasking. Its only real weakness is the 512 of ram it has which is not the greatest. If the 2011 line of Xperias can run ICS then the sola should too. Sony is definitely going to continue supporting the NXT series of phones and has done a good job so far. Sola is much better than Arc S.
For me Sola looked ideal on paper, but little after getting the phone it was rather a let down compared to the alternative with which i tested out earlier (Samsung galaxy ace 2, which was 15% cheaper). The only thing this phone is better at if movie capture quality and if it's not really that important I'd recommend everyone to choose Ace 2.

Why is that, the Ace 2 is the same hardware with a arguable worse screen? It does have a little more RAM which is nice, but it is one ugly phone and Samsung Ui is trash.
Ok thanks now I am satisfied.
I am going to buy a Sola
Merry Christmas lads, sorry for opening another one thread/spamming... I found xperia sola and xperia U at exactly the same price....which one shall i go for? Please answer me i need your suggestions! Thanks.
What do you like more? A colourful Illumination Bar or a Magical Display? Just Kidding
A perfect/good smartphone is good because of it's small great things, not because it has a Tegra 3 Processor or 2GB of RAM. Thats my Opinion
I think you should go into a electronic store and hold both devices in your Hand. The sola has a bigger Display and you can use it with gloves, yay So I would buy a Sola, but listen to your heart

I held a sola yesterday but when i surfed the internet it was a bit laggy...may because it wasn't updated to ics ? I don't know why....colours were REALLY beautiful too!
So, when you were kidding above did you really meant sth? Xperia U's screen can be compared with Sola's one? (forget the inches, talk about colours)
The internet thing: maybe the Ram was full?
Both displays have 16 millions colors and both have the Bravia Engine, so I don't think that there is a difference

I can't remember for the ram...
From the videos i have seen till now, Sola and U are exactly the same but U has only 4GB user accessible :-/ i think i can cover this problem witha usb adapter....you think that usb adapter will be annoying? Or will it be easy to get used to it?
Only reason why you should buy U instead of Sola is front camera. If you can live without it then Sola is better phone most definitely.
Also keep one thing in mind that both of these phones will NOT get official JellyBean from Sony. So if you are a fan of Stock manufacturer's firmware, you might want to reconsider buying either of these two phones.
Though, hopefully they WILL get unofficial JB Rom such as Cyanogen etc but it may take a long while to get everything working in these roms, there is also a chance that some features such as video recording may never work in an unofficial JB rom. So think before you buy
Nothing better than the stock rom
Go for a device that will get jelly bean
One more and last question guys...if I buy xperia sola and a freeze suddenly appears and as a result i must remove the battery to "unfreeze" it, what can I do then? I saw the battery is unremovable and it wories me a little.....any help? If there is a solution for this "problem" i will definately buy Sola,otherwise i am afraid i have to reconsider buying a new phone...
I think that there is a way to force reboot on such type of phones, something like power button and vol down...

On this phone you dont remove battery, you do vol + power untill the phone vibrates 3 times.
If i were you i would find samsung or HTC for the same money.

Yes bro
Everyone have their own preferences
I tried every rom present here
Bt I always get back to stock one
of course.... Xperia Sola is better than Xperia U... because Xperia Sola has external sd card whereas the Xperia U does not have... My friend's Xperia U running on stock ICS has the wifi bug... where he tries to turn off the wifi but the wifi still kept turning on... so.. consider Xperia Sola maybe? XD
Don't go for any of them s3 duos xperia go

after getting my Xperia Neo stolen I decided to go with Sola - as the 3.7" inch screen is perfect size for my hands. It is the minimum for me to be able to write text in portrait orientation (XU has 3.5" screen).
On the other hand I *hate* Sola's floating touch (or glove mode)! Main reason is that you cannot switch it off in games - what good is dual core processor if you are not able to control the game properly due to this floating touch nonsense? To name few: Triple Town, Temple Run, Muffin Knight, GTA3 and others are unplayable (even though the performace is ok). You can get rid of floating touch with different ROM (at the moment there are only two of them), but if you plan to game much, better go with XU...
Another thing to consider is that Sola goes crazy when on charger - it won't react correctly on touch - it think it is floating touch technology again to blame here... (don't know if the same problem occurs on XU)
You can google both of these problem - I would love to know about them before I have bought my Sola :/

I'm thinking of buying the Xperia U but I have a few questions.
How is the call sound quality, headphone quality and loudspeaker quality like?
How is the screen quality like and how are the graphics like on high end HD games?
Is the browsing very fast on this phone? Does zooming in and out on desktop websites lag a lot?
Has anyone's screen stopped working or has their been any hardware failures that have happened to a lot of xperia u's?
Finally, how long do you think it will be before the phone becomes out of date? I want to use it for maybe 3 years after purchase so I need to know if it is future proof.
Sorry for asking so many questions but I want to be entirely sure the phone is ideal for me. Thanks if you bothered to read this far and double thanks if you answered any of my questions.
In order.

Brilliant but storage is an issue
Good
Nope

I would recommend you to increase the budget a bit and buy Xperia P instead Xperia U.
Cause 1GB RAM will give you better smoothness than XU's 512 MB RAM.
Also SONY is still keeping XP in their mind while releasing Official updates like JB. [XU have Unofficial JB Port]
No offense to the XU users. It's just what i think that while buying android handset, it's better to go for a better hardware spec. Off course if u plan to increase your budget.
Guy above is right, i still regret buying xperia sola, when i could pay 30 more euros and buy xperia p... It is MUCH better and worth the money... I also think that its developing community is more active than xperia u... No offense of course
Also, u should know that a device like mine it is said that because sony reached the target of sales for this device, now they dont give a damn about it.... We all rely on xda to get jelly bean while xperia P DOES HAVE official jelly bean from sony...
Finally, technology is evolving SO FAST that u need to buy an expensive device so that it can compete with future device... (my opinion)
Does the extra 512MB RAM make a big difference from xperia u to xperia p? The processor and GPU are the same but stuff like screen and camera is better on the xperia p
Trust me, xperia sola with 512 mb of ram barely gives 150mb available, logically xperia p should give u at LEAST 300 mb of free ram...
As far as i know, true gaming devices must have at least 1gb of ram...
Any other comments on the Xperia u? What do you use it for on a daily basis?
If u dont play heavy games then it will do the job BUT IF U:
1) Are sure that 4 gb of storage is not enough (like me). Remember xperia u cannot take sd card...
2) Want to play heavy games, i am pretty sure that xperia p will do better
If u meet either the first or second condition then i urge u to buy xperia p but if u dont then feel free to buy xperia p... My sola is the same as xperia u but i can use an sd card and i must say that since i am not a hard core gamer it does the job pretty damn well
Does the xperia p have a slightly yellow tinted screen? In some videos I have seen the the white looks slightly yellow. Can anyone with an xperia P confirm whether the white is pure white or tinted yellow? Also, after upgrading the firmware to jellybean on Xperia P, do you get various problems with apps such as gallery app not working and does the phone lag or does it get faster? Sorry for all the questions. I just want to be sure before I purchase it

Actually there is no device exists which is completely error free. You just have to make it right by your self. The situation is quite same for Android Update also. Check the General Section, you will find a thread there named as - Xperia P JB Review.
Many users posted there JB experience there. That should be useful for you. And as for the Yellow Tint, Sony took care of that issue, after first few shipments of all of their models.
Hey guys ! I'm Running rooted and S-off HTC Incredible S. Its okay but outdated now. We are fully up to date in software, but the hardware is behind. Looking for a new phone is so difficult right now..
I have a budget of $300-$400 Aus. Samsung SIII is a little old now, N4 has no storage.. I wandering is Sony a good option? Would you recomend any Sony device in that price range?

Call sound quality-good
Headphone quality-sounds good , the default headphones aren't good enough u'll surely need to buy a new 1
Loudspeaker-Totally disappointed by the loudspeaker
screen quality-Display is just awesome with 280ppi
Browsing used to lagg when I had too many apps installed..otherwise it works good
No hardware faults as such
Hahahaha there is nothing called as future-proof..U is already outdated,maybe you should go for P instead.

Display clarity i think is better than xperia z1. For me,for now, i advice you to remain for now with root ,locked bootloader and stock roms(you can install dualrecovery) i think is perfect with performance and ram management.Kernel manage everithing smootly. With unlocked bootloader and CM you lost some things like drm (photo quality and other things are lost...i advice you a backup ) but you have some freedoom to install custom kernel,root,multirom,custom recovery if you want and you can install CM .Oh i heard with some custom roms like CM , the charging became very slow...but i can wrong i'm in locked bootloader,stock custom rom,root, and custom dual recovery and it is all perfect i haven't need aosp custom roms like my previous phones (like samsungs ) for better performances but the choice is yours the firmware there is now in z2 is very different where is in z1

I can comment over Z, haven't experienced Z1. Compared to Z, whose processor and GPU is not ready for 1080p screen this phone is smooth as liquid.
As the component part, the camera is unparalleled. Software-wise it could use some development as it is not showing it's real potential. Still it's one of the best if not the best.
About display clearity, a friend bought a G3 couple days ago and he couldn't let my phone go because he was comparing every single thing displayed on the screens and coming into the conclusion of Xperia Z2 being better at every picture, Web page, menus etc..
There is only one thing lagging behind the Z, I believe. Which is that the developers are more familiar with it's hardware since it's on the market for a longer time. Z2 is still kind of new-ish. So, there are a few things to iron out when it comes to AOSP ROMs, but everyday it gets better and better.
And the battery life is just good

Hi All ,
Thanks for your reviews .. so now its confirm that Xperia Z2 has better display ... and about ROM's i always prefer CM .. i cant stay on stock ROM more than 1 day LOL ....
and also I DO NOT CARE about battery life ... m using Z1 with CM12 and getting enuf battery life (3000mah battery compare to 3200mah in Z2)
need more reviews !!
Thanks again
It's display is miles better than the Z1 owing to it being an ips lcd panel. For me it's the best lcd panel ever produced but that's because I love warm displays

I would not recommend to you the z2. I bought mine almost 8 months ago.
I tried everything to make it more smoothier but I couldn't have the same performance as my old nexus 4. ( I tried many rooms like cm)
Until my conversations of the whatsapp has lag
Besides the display that is really good (much better than z1... I compared with a friend that has the z1), the z2 is terrible.
I'm going to buy another phone. That's my advice.
Don't, I have Z2. I like it a lot and it works flawlessly .. but i like HTC M8 or Moto X 2014 more
just because i HATE the Z2 shape, weight and edges. it's very hard to hold in hand
and i like stock or sense flavor more than sony ui
I love the phone, butter smooth UI, an awesome camera
I dropped the thing like a million times
Its scratched all over the back but not the front and i see absolutly no signs of damage
Dont be turned down by people with defective Units
