Now that MWC showed HTC,LG...next phones for spring/summer 2012, we can say that the Xperia S is the best phone out there...why?
-Screen is not monstruous like the 4.7'' of the One X,and it has 720p resolution while One S is still qHD
-12mp! all other android phones are limited to 8mp.
-Dual core cpu 1.5, yes it's not the quad of One X but again who need 4.7''?
So in clear xperia S beats the One S in screen resolution and camera hands down.
It beats the One X in screen ppi and of course dimensions!
SGS3? well like the One X it will be huge with 4.7 or 4.8'' screen and anyway it won't be out before June!
Though WE NEED DEVS so CM9 and MIUI can make the Xperia S perfect

There are lots of things to love about the Xperia S (I've got one on pre-order) but you should know that the Xperia S also has a fixed battery and a micro SIM.

As yardglass pointed out the Xperia S has a non-removable battery and micro sim. Also the Xperia S does not beat the HTC in screen resolution as they are both 720p also it is lighter and thinner though a bit longer and wider. And no before you say im a HTC fanboy i've got the Xperia on pre-order already, just wanted to clarify some things with you
Sorry for battery and microsim.
I was talking about pixels density, between 720p 4.3'' and 720p 4.7''
The Xperia S beats the iphone4 but the One X is beaten by the iphone4,so in terms of optimal graphics:
Xperia S > Iphone4/s > One X/Galaxy Nexus > Sensation/ One S > SGS2

I believe it has the highest pixel density, yes. I really have no need for more than a dual core phone either. I don't even believe that the OS handles more than that at the moment, and I can't think of any app that would need that processor?
Xperia P :?
I'm bout to test it I have a confusion with both of them :O
I changed my order over from a Galaxy Nexus to the Xperia S. Nexus is sitting staring at me on my worktop, but it's going back tomorrow in a pre-paid bag.
The camera, faster processor and looks were enough to snap me up. However I do see that Xperia/Sony android development looks nowhere near as active as HTC/Samsung/ect.

If it makes you feel any better, there's been a couple devs come out and say they're getting this phone (I believe DoomLord is one of them).

Oh, you're on XDA too
Good choice. I think that with the Xperia S we'll be seeing a very high amount of developers. It's a very powerful device at a relatively low price, it has excellent cameras and an awesome display.
The biggest problem with the Xperia Arc and the rest of the 2011 family is that it wasn't a very powerful handset at release, it lacked RAM, internal memory and a faster processor. And the unlock tool from the Arc came a few months after the release.
The Xperia S however will be unlockable right away, we'll have a great set of resources to base ourselves on, and it has really good specs. And it's generating tons and tons of buzz around the internet.
I really did like the 2011 line of SE Xperias.
But I'm a bit apprehensive about the 2012 series because of the few qualms, as I see:
Non-removable battery
Non-expandable storage
Micro-SIM
Last-generation hardware specifications
The support for the phones being from Sony henceforth (whose track record for having a strict lock down policy on their devices is quite well known).
I'll wait and see what Samsung has up their sleeve with the S2 successor and if that's disaapointing, I'll go for the Xperia S (or Ion, if they do plan for an international release).
Sony Mobile, is not Sony. Sony Mobile still is the same set of people it always was, nothing will change. They're very committed to delivering all updates quite fast, you really shouldn't worry about that.
Micro-SIM: It'll be the standard for 2012.
Non-expandable storage: Isn't 32GB already a huge amount? I've always been fine with 8GB on my phone and 16GB on my standalone Walkman.
Non-removable battery can't be a problem either if there is a hard reset key combo. It's not been a problem for the iPhone or Nokia Lumia 800/N9 either.
I like this phone, but no LTE for AT&T bands and the CPU are a bit of a let down.
The 720P IPS 4.3in screen seems very nice and I would likey trade my oled+ 480p screen for the screen it has.
P.S I hope all buying like there new phone.

It's a relief to hear that Sony isn't helming the mobile development division. I was afraid that there might be lock-downs and restrictions enforced (akin to locked bootloaders, hence, inability to flash custom ROMs) seeing as what they do to their PSP and PS3 product ranges. But I suspect Sony might somehow wiggle in their proprietary standards like they always love to (ATRAC3Plus, MemoryStick, PSVita Memory Card, etcetera).
Furthermore, I sure do hope Micro-SIMs become the standard as I do a travel a lot and I'd hate to cut my SIM cards to size.
And about the non-expandable storage, it isn't about the storage space per se, but it is more related to how I can swap an SD card with the data I need rather than copying it to the phone via a PC (thus making PC a requirement). However, if the storage space happens to be full I'd have to delete some data, and picking what to delete might be a tough choice, especially with no PC nearby to make a backup. I think this might become more evident when everyone tries recording videos for extended time in 1080p on their Xperia S which takes up more space.
I believe non-removable batteries are alright in the short run, but in the long run, there might be the necessity for the use of higher capacity batteries or backup travel batteries. Plus, if the battery decided to fizzle out, I couldn't possibly swap out the battery to fit in a new one without handing it in for service, which I believe is the iPhone user's bane.
Cheers, mate.
Only thing that irks me is non-removable battery, but hey, it's a worry not something I actually need. Never had an issue with my iPhone 3 battery, never replaced my HTC Desire battery (only ever pulled it for rebooting).
The ability to fast charge the battery to 80% in 30 mins may or may not have something to do with this, unlikely, but even if not it's a nice feature.
only thing that irks me is the usb/hdmi on opposite sides with those crappy plastic covers. if only the S was a bit more like the P we would have powered docks and car mounts... that was my biggest let down... seeing the P design makes me wish they thought the S through a bit more.
I am quietly waiting for reviews!!
Screen quality (viewing angles,colors,sunlight...), speaker volume, quality feeling...
Large battery - check
720p screen - check
Stylish and elegant design - check
made by Sony - check
Yep this is the best Android phone for Spring 2012 imo.
The best review / comparisons I've found are on PhoneArena. I'm being offered the Experia S as an upgrade for my existing contract, but unsure whether to wait for the One X or the Galaxy S3.
But again, as they're all essentially governed by the chipset/software, so does it boil down to which one you like the look of and what goodies they have on board?
Never easy, is it?
Non-removable battery
Non-removable battery is very bad. If the phone stucks, how to shut down?
Should we wait a long time till to battery reach 0%?

10-second press (or a combo, not sure anymore) will force-reboot the phone, it's hardcoded.
I decided to change mi phone (Z1 compact), but I'm very exigent and the rest of the "mini" models are extremely poor in specs, build quality, well in everything. I have to mention that my gadgets lives in an Android/Windows ecosystem.
IMO the models to choose would be the Z5 compact or Z3 compact. But It's because I don't know if there are better models on sale or coming.
I'll list the technologies I'm interested in.
Longest battery life
IPXX Certification
Magnetic/fast charging
Aptx/High-res Audio codecs
5 poles audio jack
Memory card support
ac WiFi/ LTE cat 6
FullHD Camera + the best focus at night
The fastest mobile GPU available
Mini/Compact body desing
What's your suggestion??
Thanks.

Bro, just get the Z5 compact......unless if you are picky on the design and pricey, then get the Z3 compact
Okay
So guys are you saying that there are not another devices with those features??
In a positive way, I'm right with my idea.
In a negative way, the rest of the manufactures dissapointed me :'(
Thank you so much.

That's true at this moment. The manufacturers are all looking for the big screens.[emoji174]
㊙Send from somewhere on the earth™ ?
I went from Google Nexus 5 to z5c because I felt I wanted a smaller phone. Even though the difference is not that big, it feels a lot smaller and looks a lot better.
To answer your question, I found z5c to be one of the only small phones compared to all other phones out there. It feels good in my hand, I can reach the whole screen and it is very good looking. The size is the same as z3c but with better specs and new design on the outside. If the price is a big deal, go with z3c. If not, go with z5c. It is about the same size as iPhone 5s, slightly thicker. Holding it in my hand, I recommend it. Keep in mind that I got it this Monday, I have only had it for two days. Wait a few weeks until all the cons have appeared.
Only drawback so far, the placed the volume button at a very awkward location, below the lock button..
Unfortunately, the Z5 compact is the only hi-end (2015) Android phone with small size. Your other 2015 option is the iPhone 6S but it has a totally different OS as you probably know.
Other old options are:
Z3 compact: still a good phone, still supported, not too old.
Moto X 2013: small with excellent grip and battery life, awesome phone, but I think it's no longed maintained.

Yeah, I read that about the volume button position. But, Ok, it's nothing really severe.
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 too. Do you feel the camera better or worse? (I really like the HDR+ quality of the Nexus 5).
I have moved from Z3c into Z5c and I can't complain. The only issue i have is its little but slippy but my old iPhone was that too.
Build quality is very good as well as screen and speakers (which are btw louder than in Z3c)
New UI looks more vanilla which if you are Nexus fan a good think (I am )
I havent tested camera yet nor battery life but it drops around 4% in 7 hours standby (considering push emails, bt on)

I recently sold an unlocked Moto X 2013 and it had Lollipop on it. I doubt it will get updated again but it was good to get it to 5.1.
About z5c vs nexus 5 camera: I can't compare because after I dropped my nexus, the camera became useless. It could not focus anymore.
Looking to upgrade. Where is the community headed in regards to a successor?

Waiting on zu2 no replacement out there to keep me happy
Maybe Huawei Mate 8
There is NO phone to replace the ZU right now.
Huawei devices are absolute crap:
Hard coded DPI in EMUI. Changing DPI breaks Icons and proper zoom functionality in some apps such as c't Magazin (German computer and technic magazine).
Nearly non existant support (at least in Europe). No answer to e-Mails.
No updates for european non-flagship models. Mostly, only the chinese models get updates on those phones.
Different models to keep an eye on not to buy the wrong one, especially here in Germany [mostly, LTE Band 20 (800 MHz) is not supported]
I got a Huawei MediaPad X2 for a week. Great Hardware, but stays on Android 5 (GEM-701L) stock ROM with ridiculous large 400 DPI, no AOSP custom ROM available. No answers from Huawei support about updates, hard to unlock Bootloader and so on... so I strongly suggest NOT to support such a crap company. Got a spare phone here (Huawei Ascent G620s), no updates, too. Stock Android 4.4. At least for that device CanogenMod 12.1 is available and working except of NFC.
The Lenovo Phab Plus seems OK, but with 2 GB of RAM you can stay at the ZU. It has a faster CPU of course, but only a faster CPU is no reason to spend 400 bucks. And it's not released in Europe as far as I know
No Sony ZU replacement sighted at the horizon, so I stay at the ZU.

Hurrah!
Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is a 6 inch device. It is powered by a Mediatek chip but the screen is beautiful and it has very thin bezel especially on the sides. And quite affordable. At least deserves a consideration IMHO.
The rumours on the Z5 Ultra say it'll come out in March 2016. Let's see, there were plenty of rumours on a Z4 Ultra and they amount to nothing. Besides, the thickness of the 6.4" phone is essential, a 8mm phone is too thick for me. Ideally, it should be 7mm or less.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a thin Z5 Ultra.

Another option would be a Z5 or Z6 Tablet Compact if Sony decides to include the ear speaker for the phone (the Z3 TC has the dialer but require a BT headset for calling since there's no ear speaker, only the loud speaker for other purposes).
I would love a Z5 or Z6 Ultra but based on rumors such as the Z3X, I wouldn't believe anything until there are leaked documents showing such a device at FCC. I have a nagging feeling of a Z5/6 Tablet Compact as a more probable product, i.e. that Sony simply merge the Ultra with the TC and therefore can reach two markets in one.
If they reduce the bezels on the sides and go for a C5 Ultra design, a new Tablet Compact would offer a width similar to the Ultra (with or without CP12 depending on exact solution chosen).
A Tablet Compact is perfectly fine as an Ultra replacement to me. I don't see any viable replacement in the market now but have 8 inch tablets on my radar since I have tried some of them and know that they are portable enough provided 16:9 screen.
Z Ultra replacement
The years go by and there's still no viable Z Ultra replacement on the market. The closest would be propably Z3 Tablet Compact but still, it's not the same, considering how pocketable and compact Z Ultra is for a small tablet. Z Ultra is very unique device, it's the only phone - tablet hybrid which is not enlarged smartphone, like Note series are or even huge P8 Max. So in other words, the best Z Ultra replacement is... another Z Ultra.

i guess Z5 Premium will do it for us, just a small tweak to reduce the dpi to 400dpi and we're all set. Not as spacious as Z Ultra admittedly but 5.5inch will be spacey enough.

The Z6 Ultra looks promising. Let's wait and see...
I have 2 xperia ultra's and was also looking for an update, I got sick of waiting so went a bit smaller with the nexus 6 and 6p both are great and I don't really use the ultras anymore the 6p is actually my main phone and the nexus 6 my backup. I actually like the smaller sizes now. Just commenting in case it helps someone decide

First some background:
I've been doing a lot of reading on the Z5C since I'm torn between buying the Z5C or the X Compact. Here in Sweden the phones basically cost the same (the XC is 30 dollars more expensive) so the price is not the issue, but I'm still leaning towards the Z5C since it's waterproof, has the 4k and has mods.
To my question:
The downsides of the Z5c that I read about are that 1) battery isn't great 2) it gets hot 3) photos can be blurred on the edges -> can these issues be eliminated/minimized by rooting and using current camera mods?

Thanks! Options like what? After battery and camera, size is the most important thing.
I had a z3c (loved it), it broke and I bought a Oneplus X which is 5" and it's already too big.. I can't really find any worthy alternative when looking at below 5" phones

According to me 4.6 inch is the best screen size. It is the one of the main reason i opt to this cell.
Xperia X Compact has laser autofocus and new RGB-IR sensor whicn is quite awesome.. but the ugly thing is that it does not have 4K recording and water resistance. So if 4K and Water-resistantance is not your concern. For that price i recommend you to pick X Compact.

ok, but what about the issues I wrote about above?
No, these problems cannot be solved with mods.
1) it gets hot rarely in normal use, but if you use heavy games it could become REALLY hot. It's Snapdragon 810 no way around it. Either you decrease CPU power (as the thermal engine does) or you keep it hot in these occasions.
2) As you know, water resistance isn't really there until you test it in realworld conditions. There's at least one story (and many in the Z3 line) about water damaged Z5 line phones. So I would not consider it a great advantage of the Z5 line over the X line, but it's just my opinion.
3) Battery (particularly, idle battery drain) got a big improvement with MM 6.0.1. You can probably reach 1,5 days with normal use.
4) margin blur is there on my device, but it is not serious and i can see it only if i focus on that. Other users had serious blur issues. I don't know any kind of mod that can solve this problem, as it seems hw related. I might be wrong, though.
4) for that price i would buy Xperia X compact, especially for the +1 GB of RAM
If you mind root and warranty, however, i must remember to you that root exploit for TA partition backup was gained after 7 months, by a developer from the Z3 scene that was kind enough to work on it after receiving the exploit skeleton from another member of xda. I have no idea about the Xperia X scene here on xda, but you have a little chance of not seeing a working root exploit ever or for many months if no developer with hacking skills appears on the scene. I'm speaking about this considering the X line like the previous Z5 line, in terms of bootloader, TA partition and Sony warranty management.
Today Sony announced Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 compact at the MWC 2018 so I wanted to have a look at X compact users' opinions (like myself) and see if we are deciding to let XC go or not yet...
So here's my opinion :
In the beginning when I the leaked photos I didnt like the thickness of the XZ2c but now that I have seen the Hands-on videos Im becomin more intrested in buying it (Video here)
And my other reason is that the screen is now HDR 1080p and 5" so it means more colors and more usabality!
There's also a better camera and better front facin speakers.
Btw,
Dynamic vibrations are not available in Xz2 compact
And although it has dual front cameras, its only 5 mp!!!!
So if I buy it, it would be because of the new looks amd much much better gpu performance and of course HDR screen, otherwise, XC is doin a great job for me specially now that it has android Oreo...
Feel free to share your thoughts!
bye bye Sony
Very disappointed with Sony :crying:
Xz2 compact is not compact anymore. Thick (12mm), tall (135mm), no headphone jack, fingerprint reader on the back. What the f*ck is Sony doing?
The only fast compact device on the market is no more. Well, back to Samsung
NO, I'm really sad about this, but at least we have the XZ1 Compact to upgrade to, which seems like the best Compact they've ever made, basically updating SOC and better, matte, metal back/sides compared to the slippery, glossy sides we have on the X Compact...the lack of headphone jack and side fingerprint scanner on the XZ2's are really unfortunate changes imo

Today Sony announced Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 compact at the MWC 2018 so I wanted to have a look at X compact users' opinions (like myself) and see if we are deciding to let XC go or not yet...
So here's my opinion :
In the beginning when I the leaked photos I didnt like the thickness of the XZ2c but now that I have seen the Hands-on videos Im becomin more intrested in buying it (Video here)
And my other reason is that the screen is now HDR 1080p and 5" so it means more colors and more usabality!
There's also a better camera and better front facin speakers.
Btw,
Dynamic vibrations are not available in Xz2 compact
And although it has dual front cameras, its only 5 mp!!!!
So if I buy it, it would be because of the new looks amd much much better gpu performance and of course HDR screen, otherwise, XC is doin a great job for me specially now that it has android Oreo...
Feel free to share your thoughts!

5" screen is not compact. I was already pushing my limits when I started with Z1c, (127mm tall), 4 years ago. I only upgraded to Z3c and Xc because they haven't gotten any bigger. I won't do 135mm..
No.
No. No real innovations, but it's gotten bigger and lost features like head phone jack and fingerprint on the side. The camera has to be on par with Samsung and iPhone to even consider the XZ2.
Maybe XZ3 Compact they ll back to the road, is there any real one-handed phone that we can expect this year?

Yeah, for me after a lot of reading i just think xz1 is not worth the cost, xz2 compact is like a new model phone. I am just going to wait for xz3 or any other compact version.
My next phone will probably not be from Sony. If I convert to a "normal" size it doesn't have to be Sony anymore.
