Rumor has it that Motorola and Google might release a 5.9in Nexus code name "shamu". I am waiting to see if that is the case. About .5 inches too small IMHO, but might be something to look into if true.
What do u think about Lg G pro 2 ?

I'm afraid that we have no better choice for the replacement. So for me just hoping that this ultra's battery can last as long as possible and whenever it doesn't hold any more charge, hopefully Sony still have the sparepart. Or you know, xperia z2 with modded 400 ppi would be nice.
Lenovo? Yeah right, like you don't need any Android update at all.

The lenovo has no microsd-slot
I think the lenovo is the only real alternative. Everything else is of lower spec. But having said that the present ultra doesn't really need to be upgraded imo. Specs are plenty good enough to run everything I throw at it and never really feel lags as such. So why waste the money?! But then again even I can't help myself but have a change

He could've at least made it appear to be more real...
It's such a blatant fake.
Despite the ridiculous specs and the fact tat its a concept, loving the design.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
WHEN IT WILL be launched?
Please post this as a fan concept and NOT as a new SE phone (which it isn't). It also has the name of the artist on the upper left hand corner.
As neat as all that is, the thing would have to be a brick.
10x optical zoom? the SD4500 is the thinnest cam I know of with that kind of zoom and it's 0.88" thick. and add to that a 2000 mAh battery?
We might as well just say that it's a hex core processor with an Nvidia fermi. Used by NASA to launch future satellites and 512 gigs of memory.
This is surely a concept phone. I don't think mobile technology has evolved to that extent yet.
Nice Concept, but bad Photoshopped !
Cam Flash on the Cam :S
and 10X optical Zoom ? LOL
Yes i think the OP needs to put concept in the title, its a bit misleading, but i think mayb in a year or 2 this sort of tech will be implementable, expecially the 2.5GHz dualcore processor, android OS version will be i have no idea lol a weird name mayb
So fake. Look at that massively fake lens! LoL
The design is very Sony Ericsson though, props to whoever designed it.
I think SE should start rolling out new Cybershot phones..
Or atleast a Satio android phone.. I REALLY want to see a phone that has manual settings..
if that phone exist i think the battery must be the ones terminator used.
If this gets released, I don't care about how fat it is. It is for SURE my NEXT phone ! Let's hope they will produce it.
+1 "PlayGunsta "
me too......will buy this phone if with same spec.....(dont care of Android version since XDA rocks...) also processor will be dual core so ...would be my next phone..........
yeah pretty sure is a fake one!
SE won't release something like this they obsessed with making their phones thinner!
maybe when samsung realeases a quad core sony will do a dual core! but not now
i am changing to samsung soon!
Even Qualcomm Dev phones aren't as fast that yet.

Hello,
since the trend in smartphone development aims at huge screens and extreme processor speeds I was wondering if anybody heard about possible Aria successors, that would be handy phones with decent specs.
I would love to see a new Aria, with a dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, a thinner bezel (like the Galaxy Nexus) but the same or just slightly bigger dimensions as the Aria.
Any rumors?
I fear that this is just wishful thinking, but one can still dream XD
Unfortunately, I've been hunting for this for about 6 months. No alpha products, previews, or reviews I could find...
Looks like you'll have to upgrade to something bulkier =(
Dang.
Well there is no rush for me to decide. I got rid of any kind of cellphone plans and buy my new phones when I can't stand the old ones anymore
With CM7 and some tweaking I can still love my Aria for a while.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus would be ok if only it had more RAM and Android 4.0. Too bad...
Sony has some small phones that looks decent. But they still have the physical buttons
Like this
This is my new hobby, creating HTC Aria 2 fakes. If only I could print them out with a 3D printer...
Would you maybe like one with a front cam and two LEDs integrated into the classic speaker? Or a green one with trackball?
I loved my Aria. The weight was ideal but I had to have a bigger screen. It seems that the general trend nowadays it to get bigger and better. My example to this would be the Samsung Galaxy Note. The only carrier I know of that still has phones (new phones I might add) is SouthernLinc Wireless. Not to come off as advertisement but we just got a Motorola i867. 3.1" screen. Runs Eclair.
I really do wish that they would have an Aria 2. I agree with you. If they removed most of the bezel it would be a great phone. I still have mine even though I have since had a Captivate and now the Galaxy S II.
I am curious if some nice mid-range phones pop up at MWC next week.
Doubt there will be any successor to the Aria.

That may be true, but at least there's something close: http://pockethacks.com/the-htc-golf-a-fast-android-on-a-budget/.
The SE xperia ray looks decent, ableit maybe too small.
What about the upcoming Xperia Sola? It's about the same size with a dual-core processor.
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sola-4408.php
There's very little info on the Sola currently, but so far it's looking like my next phone.
Sony needs to trim off all that bezel.
Galaxy mini 2? Specs are still low but better than the aria for the moment

The HTC One V still hasn't picked a carrier but it will have a 3.7" screen and single 1ghz processor.
Personally interested in the 4.3" dual core One S.
this htc one v is not bad at all! looks good enough to replace this little aria
The Sony Xperia Mini (pro) devices both have diminutive 3-inch screens and pack a single-core 1GHz processor. They are interesting enough and quite inexpensive on Amazon.

I keep wondering...why can't there be a high-end phone with smaller dimensions. High-end does not necessarily mean it has to have a huge screen. Or at least mid-end haha. 1GHz is not too much to ask, and why not 1gb ram.
EDIT: NEW NAME!
This device is now called the Galaxy S Relay 4G. See post #10
Just wanted to get a little discussion going for this device. It has potential to be the next(last?) great QWERTY slider phone. I couldn't find a forum for new phones, so my apologies if this is the wrong place.
Anyway, the talk right now is that this device is going to drop August 15th on T-Mobile USA. Rumored specs include:
~ 720p screen (more likely 800 x 480- see post #8 on this thread)
~ S3 or S4 dual core 1.5ghz processor
~ 1 GB RAM
~ 16 GB internal phone storage
~ Android 4.0
~ 5 megapixel camera
I'm praying the SOC really is S4, with that these stats could put it extremely high-end for a QWERTY slider phone.
Oh, and I forgot to mention: It's a 5-row keyboard.

What do you guys think? Anyone out there who, like me, salivate over the possibility of a true high-end QWERTY slider device?
Here's a link to the latest news article on it:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/08/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-q-press-shot-hints-at-release-date/
I might be interested if it has a removable battery and SD slot. That is making me lean away from HTC when my contract is up in a year unless they change from the One series designs. I haven't had a slider in a while, I have to feel it in my hand and see if the slide action is tight or loose and try to gauge how it might feel a year or two later.
Id love this phone. Always wanted a Captivate Glide but this blows its Tegra 2 out of the water.
Only problem is, with QWERTY sliders going out of the market, there is less and less development and support from the manufacturers.
For normal consumers, this isn't a problem. It has ICS (Captivate Glide will get ICS) but really, probably not many ROMs, Samsung will stop updates fairly quick, etc.

Well, I did a little calculation based on the dimensions of the phone listed in the FCC documentation (125mm x 65mm) as compared to the screen-to-bezel ratio in the press shot. Based on my calculation, the screen size is 4 inches. This pretty much debunks the screen being 1280 x 720 unless Samsung introduces a new kind of screen- the smallest 720p screen in a previous Samsung phone is the Galaxy Nexus at 4.65 inches. And ALL previous Samsung phones that had either a 4 or 4.3 inch screen were 800 x 480. I don't see Samsung debuting a new kind of screen for this phone
Damn. That's a big blow for me. I was really hoping for a better screen. And I gotta say, if there's no 720p screen, I bet the processor is S3 as well. Sadly, even with these specs this phone will be the best QWERTY slider on T-Mobile, so I'll probably still get it. But damn, I really had my hopes up for higher specs there for a minute
I suppose it's possible I made a mistake or am wrong about whether there would be a 4-inch 720p screen(there's still a user agent screenshot out there showing the T699's screen is 1280 x 720), but I doubt it. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
It's the 15th and no word yet on this phone.
No word on why the original release date was missed, but the name of the device has now "changed" to Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G. Kind of a lame name, but I'm still holding out hope for a decently-spec'd handset.
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/08/new-training-docs-correctly-identify-t-mobiles-newest-qwerty-device/
Also no word on a new release date yet, but it can't be more than a few weeks away ...
If this phone had the Wolfson DAC: I would've been interested. However I've yet to see a Snapdragon phone isn't a SoC so I'm not holding my breath there.
Thanks to some images found in the Q&A section of Samsung's website, we have confirmation that there's a FFC, the rear camera has a flash, and there's an LED notification light(not always a given with Samsung)!
... Okay, I know it's not much, but it's something, right? Damn it this phone needs some real confirmed specs already

its not same resolution ..its 960*540 and 5.0 has 800*480 which makes that they have totaly the same dpi.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
I believe the dpi for GP5 is 186ppi and GP5.8 is 189ppi
I'm surprised a 5.8" PMP is anticipated by so many. The 5.0 model was already borderlining on being too large in my opinion, and a supposed 4.8" would have still been a tough decision. It's disappointing that there isn't a smaller model to accompany it as with the 4.0 and 3.6, so I guess I'll be jumping for the 4.2.
I'm just going to be bragging to my friends that I have the biggest handheld device haha
Many issues with this new 5.8"
1. Resolution is abysmal for a 5.8", needs to be at least 720P
2. Price. This thing will be way more than 199.99 and will probably only get 1 update and then become EOL
3. CPU. Is it the Snapdragon S4, Dual Exynos, or Snapdragon S3?
4. The size will most likely push many away
1. Dude, the ppi is better than the 5.0 so it isn't "abysmal"
2. I agree
3. Who cares about the CPU if it has 1GB RAM (and it better have 1GB RAM)? I'm sure it will be at least a dual core, that's enough for my tasks at least
4. Get the smaller models
What matters more than the CPU or ram is the gpu. If it has the same powerVR chip in the previous gen players, forget it. And I am thinking Samsung really should have stuck with the 5" sweet spot they found with the note; this is really and truly just to much. One inch larger than the biggest handhelds, one inch smaller than the smallest tablets = What the heck is this supposed to be?

Hi all
I'm sorry xerox but after hard playing on asphalt 8, i get this result.
And your result is take when the CPU is tested with a stress test, not in real utilisation.
So keep the alpha
Its up to you. I've had all the Sony line up (ive had pretty much all Android flagships except the Alpha, which I just bought last week). The Sony will heat up and after use for 4-6 months beit from charging overnight or playing games and the back will become loose meaning it is not waterproof. the phone will still work though so that's up to you. I just did not like the loose back which Sony have only fixed on the Z5. Another thing is if you do wear skinny jeans the phone does start to creak after a while after being under stress from you moving around.
I love my little Alpha and build quality is brill. Both phones are really snappy but I prefer developing stuff for Samsungs with Exy chips.
This is all from experience and not someone who hasn't tried the phone. I do like the Sonys though and have development quite a few ROMs for them

Hello thx for the opinion. I need to ask in terms of performance , camera, and th and build quality screen etc you still preffer Alpha?
The display on the alpha is an amoled type which is good for viewing under sunlight and in normal place i think it produced unreal color(I always switch to basic mode) but the Z3 has an Ips display which is not really good under sunlight but in normal place i think the color is pretty decent(Prefer the z3).The performance of the snapdragon 801 is better than the exynos on the alpha(prefer the z3).The camera on both is pretty decent and can capture 4k video(prefer the z3).Both have a 32gb internal memory but the z3 has an expandable memory card(prefer the alpha 32gb is enough for me).The alpha use touchwiz which has full of bloatware and it use alot of ram,the z3 use sony UI which has very little bloatware and lighter than touchwiz (prefer CyanogenMod). Dev support for the alpha is suck because it use exynos processor (no driver plus not alot of dev use the alpha) and the z3 has tons of roms to flash beside there are alot of dev keep developing a rom for that device .Both probably get an official android marshmallow update from their manufacturer.For the design I prefer the Alpha design(Cus I've use the Z1 compact before and the design on the z3 is pretty much the same).The Alpha has fingerprint sensor the Z3 doesnt,the z3 is waterproof the alpha doesnt.Decided by your self

Hi
For me the Alpha is in the best 2014 phones.
Good photos,
VERY VERY GOOD performance with his octo core Exynos 5430 processor ( For me Exynos 5430 is besser than S801 )
The screen is very good for a 720p and the built quality is excellent, no cracks or shocks after one year.
You can make your choice
